Notwithstanding the fact that many examples
have been made Of belligerent brokers and warlike
bankers ON the street by the Board with which they

brokers', which created quite q breeze. The
parties were Mr.. Robert Bale. Of No. ~

iBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNEI

LONDON Wednesday, Aug. "a, 1870.
The special correspondent of THE TRIBUNE at
Hamburg sends ON the 22d, an account of the first
naval engagement of the war
On the morning of the 18th inst. the German
dispatch-bcat Grille started ont of the Bay of
Rugen to reconnoter the position and strength OF
the French ships lof war, whose arrival in the
neighborhood had been reported, though nobody
had as yet seen them. After proceeding out to sea
till within sight of the Danish island Of Moen, the
Grille at length discovered the squadron. consist
ing OF seven ron-clad frigates and two smaller
vessels, and approached boldly till within some
what less than two miles.
The French then opened fire and directed several
broadsides at the little craft at the same time CIV
ing chase. Every now and then lying-to so as to
fire few shots at her pursuers from her two rifed
12-pOunders in answer to the guns of the whole
feet the Grille lured them to follow her as far as
the post-house at WittOw lthe north-westerly point
of Rtgen, where the three gunboats Drache, Blitz,
and Salamander, were lying. These, on hearing the
report of the cannonading at sea, Immediately got
up their steam and weighed anchor to stand 10y their
consort
The Commodore of the little squadron, Capt.
Count Won Waldersee, made a signal that the COM
mander of each gunboat was to attack the enemy at
his own discretion, which occasioned loud cheers.
All steamed out ready for action with the superior
force of the enemy. After a running fight of three
h,,;"rs. the gunboats, finding that their guns
harmless against the plated sides of the iron-clads
returned to the protection Of their shore batteries
toward evening
Though the French pointed their guns in good
direction they fired either too high too low. But
it was difficult, in fresh breeze to take steady
aim at the little gunboas lying low in the water and
painted gray, as to be almost invisible Several
shots from the gmboats hit their mark, and shell
from the Salamander to explode on the
deck of one of the ships, and must have done some
damage to the men at their guns.
The German fotilla suffered no losses whatever,
though it might have been very different had any of
the heavy 11-inch guns fired from the Fnnch ships
taken effect and exploded the decks of the gun
boats. The latter having filed up their stock of am
munition and Goals at Stralsund, returned TO their
stations in the outer roads, where they are on out
post duty.

OF THE NEW FRENCH LOAN-THE ATTITUDE
OF AUSTRIA AND RUSSIA.
LONDON Wednesday. Aug. 2i, 1870.
The Paris Constitutional, answering the assertions
of The London Times that the French are in des-
perate condition. shows that that journal arrives at
it's conclusions without waiting for complete or
authentic reports of recent events and dees it to
decide who now is in the best military position,
Bazane or King William Ii adds that the hostility
of The Times is accounted for by the fact that the
son of one of its prOpretor married the daughter OF
the Prussian ambassador at London, and some per-
sons saw that in addition this the journal has been
heavily subsidized by Bismarck
The Consduionne also semi i-officially says: with
ont entering into details, may affirm that the
work on the Notifications Of the capital is advancing
with wonderful rapdity, and the elan of the popua-
ton is immense The Prussan papers represent that
Paris is not the Paris of the period between 1872 to
1915. They will discover their mistake. The capital
proves now as ever that she is the heart of France
She is ready to receive the enemy. Neither spies nor
battalons can break down the wall of defense which
her danger has cemented. Should the Prussians ad-
vance to the ramparts of Paris, they will find this
out"
The Journal OGciel of Paris says the amount of
National loan taken yesterday far as heard FROM
was GO 900 francs and when the Lists closed last
night at least 900 persons waiting to subscribe were
sent away The returns from Marsees, Bordeaux
and several other large cities had not been received
The lists were reopened this morning, and large
crowds are pressing subscribe The loan is quoted
in open market at G0fr SOc the same figure rs Rentes
The Paris Presse says the ambassadors from Rus
sia italy, and Austria in reply to their offers to ne
gotate for peace have been officially informed that
peace is impossible so long single Prussian sol
dier treads French soil.
The Patie sem-official organ says there exists at
Vienna Prussian party encouraged and paid by
Count Won Bismarck. 1t is said the parties who
payed the odous role of 1866 have control of some of
the Vienna journals and since the recent successes
of Prussia have endeavOred to persuade Austria to
act favorably, making handle of the well-known
sympathy of Hungary for France The Austrian
Government however, has resisted these overtures
thus far, and will no doubt, maintain afriendly
neutrality.
The Paris Pdtre denies the story that by Austria
Withdrawing her Corps of Observation Prussia has
been enabled to troops that she could not other
wise have moved.
The ST Petersbugh Journal. denies that Russia is
committed to prevent the dismemberment of France,
as has lately been published She is, however GER
tainly unfavorable to that measure but regards the
agitation of that question as premature.

The reported meeting of foreign ambassadors in

discredited The opinion is expressed here in high
quarters that Prussia would consider such meeting,
held in her enemys capital, gross dscourtesy. Such
an initiative would be regarded serious, if taken
in London Petersburg; but in Paris, almost vio-

lBY TELEGRAPH TO TIE TRIBuERI
LONDON, Wednesday, Aug "a, 1870
The special correspondent Of THE TRIBUNE at the
headquarters of the Crown Prince thus describes the
bombardment of Pfalsburg on the 18th
Pfalsburg has already detained a considerable
number of German guns for two or three days, and
when last saw il it showed no signs of giving in.
True, the guns thus detained are Of light caliber,
but they are nevertheless kept from other work and
this is what PfaIsburg has accomplished. The town
was sharply eannonsded this morning, and | went
to see the German batteries open fire.
There was slight haze over the surrounding
country at daybreak, but as the sun grew more
powerful the haze lifted into gently driving clouds
breeze just strong enough to temper the heat OF
the weather stirred the leaves Of the tall poplar
trees along the straight French ohdHss6cs, and Tho
morning was, in all respects, beautiful. From
hillock behind the village of Zillngen
there was a splendid view of both the
attack and the defonse. Pfalsburg could be seen
among the trees at the top of stretch Of rising
ground and we could distinguish part OF the old
rampant with its shady avenue. To our left, across
the open field dotted with redroofed farm buildings,
was some rising ground opposite to Pfalsburg; and
here were the beseiging batteries, which could
scarcely be distinguished at all until their fire com
menced
The whole district for miles away was spread out
like map before us and we saw the Vosges Noun
tans TO the eastward shutting off from the Valley
of the Rhine. Had it not been such a deadly game
that was to be played, such terrible moment Of
anxiety for the people of the little town. there eond
have been pleasanter excursion than TINS one 10
see the batteries begin their work.
tell no secret when I say that the German attack
was made with field artillery and that great many
of their light guns had been brought into position
for the work The capture of Pfalsbourgis is an i'm
portant matter for the Crown Prince, but not im-
portant enough to make his army wait for heavy
siege guns.
The Prussian tactics are to push forward, masking
the fortresses that encountered on the way eav-
ing few battalions to watch them but in this ease
the chances have seemed 50 to favor the probability
of Pfasburg being unprepared for serious resistance
