Popular Excitement In Berlin.
PRAGUE, Aug. 26.--One journal pub
fishes letter of a Berlin correspondent
! dated August 10, from which is extracted
the following: We are persuaded here
that efforts are making to conceal the fact
that the Prussian army lost seriously in the
battles of the 18th and 10th. The details
| furnished here are not credited. 1t is
openly asserted that the losses were 80
great that the army is disorganized and not
able to advance. which will allow the
French time to gather immense strength,
causing the Germans to pay dearly for
their first successes.
Yesterday demonstrations were made be-
fore the palace. Crowds assembled and
demanded TO know the news. What the

New YORK, Aug. 26.-- Gallairdet tele-
graphs as follows from Paris, Aug. % to
brief, l cannot speak to you to-day
about the movements of McMahon, on
whom now repose all hopes of the country
1 may tell you participated in these hopes
and that the vanquished of Woerth will
soon take brilliant revenge.
AGreat Battle Imminent.
A great battle is imminent, not because
we desire it, but because acting with rapid
ity is an indispensable condition of success
to the enemy. Moltke knows that Germany,
with its system of recruitment, must con-
quer rapidly or be the true victim of the
campaign. A fortnight's insction on her
part viii give us opportunity Of forming
two new armies and reinforcing those now
resisting the invasion.
Take my word for it that, unless some
signal disaster occurs, we shall not listen to
peace SIS long as Prussian soldier remains
on French soil. NJ. de la Tour d'Auvergne
and the whole press have unanimously
approved of this.
The headquarters of King William are
at Bar lie Due. One of the corps of the

of noise about nothing.
Words of Caution.
A special to the Times from Paris this
morning says Do not expect specific in
telligence from this side for several DAYS.
There is q great strategic movement in
progress, the importance of which is to be
Judged of by the reserve of Generals and
the authorities here. ALI letters and COM
munications for the army have been
stopped, and correspondents are impris-
oned wherever found. Place no faith in
lying Prussian organs in London, or jour-
nails counting German patronage in New
York. The military prospects Of France
are clearer and more certain than at any
time since the commencement of the cam
paign.
