Join France, fearful Of the growing power
Of Prussia, and that England vas on tho

thought In London that the march Of the
Pfussiaas could not be arrested before
reaching Paris.
The PrussiAn official accounts Of the
battles Of the 18th, 10th, and 18th, state
that the French suffered a loss Of 5000
killed alone. while their loss in killed
and wounded exceeded 10000. The Prus-
slams took over 10000 prisoners, many Of
whom were officers, of all grades, lnciud-

turod. A dispatch from Mezieres, occu-
cupied by the Prussians, ON the 22d, says
the loss Of the Prussians In the last battle
was fearful. More than 10000 wounded
remained on the field of battle without as
~sistance.
Gold was selling In Paris on the 22i at
IL per cent. premium. A few days be-
fore It had sold at 8 per cent.
Paris dispatches of the 23d state that
Mcmahon had Joined Bazaine with a large
number of troops. The Emperor's head
quarters were at Rheims. The lombard
ment Of S~trasbourg SO far had done little
damage. The French in Strasbourg, how
ever, had shelled Kehl, on the other side
of the Rhine, with effect. The place had
been set on fire and destroyed. The
0pinione Nationale, under the caption
keep Cool" predicts the defeat Of the
prussians as the result Of the pending
combinations. The Archbishop of Paris
had directed the clergy to contradict the
report that the Pope felicitsted the King
Of Prussia.
London dispatches of the esd confirm
the report that Bazaine had reinforced
Mcmahon, and also state that the armies
of the Crown Prince and Prince Fred
erick Charles had formed a junction Il
the west Of Metz. 1t was thought almos
certain that an i~nterposition of the grea
powers of Europe, in the Franco-Prus
sian question, would take place within
few days, A dispatch received from AL
exandria states that the Prussian frigat,
Hertha, carrying twenty-eight guns, ha'
been captured by the French. No par
t%iculars given.
According to German dispatches re
ceived on the Esd the fortress of Met
was enclosed on all sides. Communics
tions between Chalons and Paris wer
cut of. The headquarters of the Crow
Prince were at Bar lie Due. MacMaho
and Failly were still retreating to cove
Paris.
A Berlin dispatch Of the 23d says th
German forces in France had undergon
/, a partial reorganization The grand tott
was $4,000 men, divided into sixtee
army corps, backed up by a reserve c
100000.
A New York Dispatch of the 23d says
{ The situation, so far as can be learned 0
conjectured, appears more favorable t.
the French arms than il has for the pas
fortnight. The Prussian losses are re
ported to have been dreadful-over tw,
hundred thousand killed and wounde,
since Saarbrucken. 1t is believed by tn
French that the Prussians have snfiere'
