War News from Europe.

The Prussiaus, retarded somewhat by
heavy rains, are slowly closing upon Paris,
and il is expected that the different corps
will be in position to commence the invest
meut of the city virtually by Wednesday
next All the efforts of the government are
concentrated upon defense Nou-combat-
ants are hurryiug away. All The places Of
amusement are closed. Private aud pub
lie treasure and other valuables, including
the crown jewels, have been placed beyond
the dangers of sack and pilage. The en-
virons of Paris have been cleared of woods
and houses, including many fine residences,
wherever they might obstruct the opera
tons of the military, and the railroad tun-
nels and bridges near the city have been
destroyed or mined.
SO far the Prussiaa King has given no
sign that he will recognize the republic,
and the questions of peace and Intervention
are still problematical Although public
sentiment throughout Europe, as well as
America, is favorable to the present as
a fitting opportunity for mediation, no gov
eminent has taken decided steps in that
direction, and to oil appearances France, as
n republic, is practically without friend
among the rulers of the Old World.
Among the reports in reference to medi-
alton is one to the effect that Austria will
undertake the business of negotiating for
AZ armistce, and the United States, Rus
STA and Italy are credited with having uu-
der consideration combined action with
view Of putting an end to the war There
is no positive, authority, however, for
any of these reports, although a strong
sentiment prevails that the United States
will d. much towards bringing about the
desired result Jules Favre is reported to
have said that Austria will aid France in

position to the territorial aggrandsement
of Prussia is general in Europe, and even
in Prussia prominent liberal politicians are
taking grounds against It.
One leading difficulty in the management
by Prussia Of the question Of peace seems
to have presented itself in the question Of
who to treat with The fact that the Prus-
sim main forces have been ordered to take
positions within thirty miles cf Paris would
indicate that the King does not propose nc
tive measures for the reduction of Paris
before a fair opportunity is given to bring
about treaty, and the further fact that the
King has taken especial care to regard Ma

The question Of peace, or continuation
If the war, still remains unsettled. The
Prussians bcsicging TouI and Montmedy
are said to have been rcpulsed at both places,
and, at the former, with great slaughter
But these are forces detached from the
main body, and DO not, in any way, affect
the movcments Of the latter. OF the com.
hincd army corps marching slowly on Paris
we have some particulars
Certain portions of this force are reported
at Meaux and Crecy, aud at Meun, all Of
which arc within a circuit Of some twenty
five miles from Paris, while another portion
il announced as approaching Noisy lie Grand
a village only about nine miles from the
Capital. These, however, are evidently
simply the advance guard, and probably
cavalry, as we learn by later dispatch that
a week ago the headquarters of the King Of
Prussia were a. Rheims, where he was wait
ing ~ give ell the troops time to concentrate.
Efforts NJ negotiation continue TO be made
and there seems to have been, for n short
time, some hope of an armis'ice which Rus
STA, Austria and Italy, il was rumored were
insisting upon, but a subsequent telegram
states that neither Of the two former will
stir for Republican France. Paris was also
joyful over the tidincs that the United
States Government had sent three decided
dispatches to Berlin, and that, as a consc.
quencc, 'the Prussi1n advance had been
stopped It is sorrowful to add that the
three decided dispatches turn out to have
been pure fabrication, and that no such
dispatches were sent to Berlin at all
For the rect, it is stated, on the author
