of five hundred have risen in favor of a
epublic, and have marched amidst the
greatest enthusiasm of Marseilles citi-

| Another special, dated Berlin 81, says
the report is current in this city in well
informed circles that the emperor has
revoked the decree which he issued on
the surrender of Sedan for the revoca-
ton of the decree creating the regency.
AS the emperor, he has heretofore sent
an envoy to Metz to consult BaZaine in
| regard to terms of peace. This con-
firms the statement made by BaZaine
that he should only treat with the en-
peror in reference to negotiations for

poleon has been suppressed as far as
possible in Berlin.

| nor underwent so terrible siege.

Tours, except it suits local interests.

masked batteries had been placed,
drawing the Prussians after them.

lerery and eighteen mitrailleuses,
| which created great havoc in the Prus-
sian ranks and forced them to retreat
with severe loss. The retreat was sub
sequently converted into a rout, the
German troops flying in all directions,
| throwing away their arms. The French
captured all their artillery, a battery
| of steel cannon, eight regimental stand
ards, and a column of between six and
seven thousand men, who surrender
ed in body, and were dispatched the
| next day to Charities. Among the
prisoners are two colonies of the Prus-
sian and a number of Saxon officers.
