Baden which have been bosieging
St-asbourg. after leaving a garrison
in the city, will be sent to clear Upper
Alsace of armed peasants and sharp
shooters, who are perpetrating great
excuses, and seriously annoying the
rear of the German army.
A special received at Brussels, from
Boilon, states that Alsace and Lor-
raine are to be treated as German
Federal Provinces, under the imme-
date administration of the Federal
authorities, aud to be represented in
theGerman Parliament by a commits
sion; also that no military service
will be required of the Inhabitants.
1t adds that the publication OF
these ideas had excited storm of in
dignation from the Radicals, which
had led to several arrests.
A dispatch from Munich states that
Chancellor Delbruck has so far failed
to conclude treaty for effecting q
closer union between Bavaria and
North Germany. There are reports
also from Stuttgardt of very serious
Manifestations against the policy of
annexation.
Tours, Sept. ga report having
reached here of the capture of Stras-
bourg, the Government this morning
publishes dispatch from the French
Consul, at Basic, contradicting it.
The Consul says that the Prussians
made three tremendous, but unsuc-
cessful, assaults on Strasbourg, in
which they suffered heavy losses.
A white flag was subsequently, dis
played US a truce to bury the dead,
which gave rise to the rumor that the
city had capitulated. Communica-
tions, however, have been cut in all
directions, and the fall OF Strasbourg
is by no means impossible, notWith-
standing the denial of the Consul at
Basic. There is q strong belief that
the rumors are not altogether ground
less.
Tours, Sept, 29. - Advices from
HaVre, received to-day, state that
merchandise remaining in tho ware
house in pore is protected by the
COnsuls Of neutral countries, who |
have hoisted their respective flags. A |
huge electric light rsvolves at night,
lighting up the entire building and
the batteries around it. EnOrm GUS /
chains protect the entrance Of the
harbor.
Another meeting of the Projects of |
the Departments of Mancheone, Sar- |
tina, Mayenne, Vendee, Maine, Etair-
re, and of those of the old provinces |
of Brittany, was held yesterday, at |
which still further measures were |
taken for national defense. Organi- |
zation is progressing rapidly. Com
panies of thirty men are being re-
ceiVed by the government. These
are permitted to chose their own Off
GERS, and will act independently of
the regular force, and if circumstaa-
ces so demand all these companies
will be united under one command.
The several Departments will furnish
the arms and equipments necessary
for this force. The men will enlist
for service during the war. Other
corps arc organizing, including free
corps the latter will carry the black
flags. They have announced that
they intend neither to ask nor give
uarters.
The troubles at Lyons on account
of the red flags continue, though the
efforts to compromise have not been
abated.
Marseilles is quiet.
LONDON, September 29.-Dr. Or
neist, who has recently made tour of |
inspection through Rhenish Prussia, |
Hanover, Baden and Hesse, makes an |
earnest appeal to the charity of all |
Germans for the people of these |
countries. He says that the towns |
are crowded with helpless women and |
children, coming in to beg for bread. |
The fields are left untitled, and the l
villages are swept clean by the armies /
of food. His picture of these re-
gions of victorious Germany is scarce |
" better than that which is given by !
others of the vanquished districts of |
invaded France. The prices of all the |
necessaries of life have gone up three |
fold.
LONDON, Sept. 29.-The story that
the Italian government had made ad-
vances to any power before the occu-
patton Of the Papal States, is denied.
Its is believed the story originated in |
the fact that Italy addressed circu- |
Lag letter to the Italian Representa-
tives at foreign courts, setting forth |
the absolute necessity of her interior
ence at Rome to secure public order
and independence of the Pope, no less
than the rights aud liberty of the Ro-
man people, and the pacifcation of
Italy.
The object of Count Sa Marines
mission to Rome, was to urge the
Pope to recognize the good faith of
Italy in this matter.
There is some discomfort In Flor
ence owing to a disturbance created
in Values by the approaching with
drawal of the Court and government
to Rome, aud some of the papers urge
the municipality to suspend work up
on the grand exterior boulevards.
It is understood that King Victor
Emanuel will make his entry into the
Eternal City Immediately after the |
taking Of the plebiscitIns. the result |
being regarded as foregone con-
elusion.
The Evangelical societies have pc
titioned for permission TO remove at
once to Rome.
LONDON, September 29-The Prus-
sian government has officially denied
the presence of a national vessel in
either the Black or Red Sea by the
name Of Hertha or Bertha.
1t is understood that Alsaoe and
Lorraine, upon entering the German
Confederation, will be represented by
a Commission, and be exempted for
the present from all federal burdens.
The Telegraph has a balloon special
frem Tours, dated Wednesday even
ing, representing that the Prussians
are retiring towards Paris. Great
confidence existed in Paris.
The Times has the following special:
Ga Tuesday last, the 9th, the French
made another sortie from Metz. The
forces consisted of cavalry and artil-
lery. AMI were protected by the guns
