Debate in Italian Chambers.

New YORK, August 20.-A special
to the Telegram says: Mr.. Gladstone
has returned to London. The Cabinet
has been sumoned to consider the
question of the intervention Of
England for speedy peace. The
Queen of England has addressed,
by telegraph; letters to the King
Of Prussia, urging upon him the desir-
ability OF accepting peace proposals
from France. 1t is understood in Eng
lish political circles that the proposals to
cede the Province of Alsace, the deposi-
ton of Napoleon, the liberty Of France to
choose her Government, is regarded
favorably by the English Government.
Napoleon is still seriously and alarm
ingiy sick. Do" rIsl.s n 80
In Paris, to-day in all political ar
rangements, the Emperor is virtually
deposed.
The Saturday Rs0ie,o thinks the Prus-
slams are unwise in insisting on the de-
thronement of the French Emperor.
This is the surest way, the Revie'c
thinks, of restoring his popularity.
The Spectator, Judging from the news
received from Germany, regards the
case of France as hopeless. Marshal
Bazaine is surrounded, and Canrobert is
too weak to risk a battle. Paris is in
defensible, ard the empire, as distin-
guished from France, is dead.
PARIS, August 20-Noon.-There is
nothing yet from the front. Rumors OF
an engagement between Canrobert and
Prince Frederick Charles are in, circu-
lation; also that the Prince Royal has
penetrated France as far as Vitry lie
Francaise, ~ miles south southeast Of
Chalons, and had an engagement with
the forces under Mcmahon.
The advices from Chalons are encour-
aging. They show the presence there
Of large and we'll appointed force,
which, combining with that of Bazaine,
must effect much. Bazaine, whose re-
treat the Prussians say they have
stopped, is, on the contrary, imposition,
enabling him to support the French
either at Metz or Verdun according to
circumstances, He still keeps Shis
movements profoundly secret. /
The 'Gdttois publishes letter from
Luneville to-day, which says: Too ex-
cessive acquisitions on the French are
made bv the army of the Prince Royal.
Demands beyond the power Of the In
habitants are harshly insisted upon
aud many needless acts committed,
such as the people will take deadly re-
vence for should the Prussians be
! forced to retreat
II is now assured that the forests OF
Boulogne and Vincennes will only be
cut down in case OF the loss of battle
in the camp raign which will render 8
march on Paris possible by the enemy:

of Ministers to-day, . ','-
