bardment of Paris will take place for a
long time yet, If ever. The hope now ia
that the city will be starved out. The
truth seems to be that the constant and
accurate fire from the French forts have
greatly embarrassed and retarded Ger

their work useless
A World special from London, of the
18th, says the whole tide of popular feel
ing now in England is running strongly
IN favor of the French. Even the Times,
feeling the influence, has changed it's
tone, and now urges Germany to make
peace and to withdraw from France while
she may do 80 with safety. This feeling
is partially due to the horror excited by
the barbarous and wholly unjustifable
conduct of the Prussisns in attempting
to suppress popular resistance in France,
and partly to the rapidly growing con-
viction shat England vii, be the next
victim Of German ambition.
The speech Of Lord Chief Baron the
other day, which declared that Austria
would lie PROSTATE before Germany; that
Russia will be compelled to barter her
Baltic ports for Constantinople; and that
England, being only safe so long as she
remains mistress of the seas, must arm
herself for desperate struggle, has pro-
duced great alarm and dismay, and
hearty wish for the repulse of the Ger
mans and triumph of the French.

ed success from the start The Prus-
slams were in strong position. Pallieres
took veteran troops and stormed the
Prussians, driving them before him, and
capturing many prisoners aud carrying a
position. So marked was his victory,
that Palldines warmly praised his con-
duct. Gardes Mobiles, from the depart

heavy artillery fire of the enemy, waver
ed little, but Gen. Barrille, who was in
command, placed himself at their head
and broke through the enemy's line.
The Mobiles from tho department of
Zarthe behaved admirably, and charged
the enemy with the bayonent. The
chasseurs of the line also distinguished
The lNoniteur to-day has an editorial
regretting that the Bavnrians, who have
nothing to gain in this war, but every
thing to lose from the grasping ambition
OF Prussia, should make so readily sacri-
fees. She has become so firm m ally of
that power, that they were led into war
with the Prussians, thinking their
country would be invaded, but they must
know now that the Republic has no such
designs.
