LONDON, Sept. 10 - Communication between
Brussels and Paris is still maintained by way of
Douay and Quieberon. The PTussians appeared at
Provens, in the Department of the Seine and
Name, on Monday, the 18th, at noon, and also at
Tracy and Carlepont, in the Department of the
Oise. The chances OF a successful defence of Paris
are thought to increase hourly. The Iadependqnce
Beige says the policy of the American government
occasions no surprise, considering the Intimacy of
at Berlin that Bancroft has made any representa-
ticns in favor of mediation.
A correspondent writes from Hamburg, Septem-
ber II, that there are many indications that the
French will shortly raise the blockade of both the
Baltic and North Seas. When Fourichon heard

officers of the squadron on the flagship, and con-
Republic. Nearly all were willing, and Fourichon
started for Cherbourg. The greater portion of the
remainder is anchored off Moen Island, both in
Danish waters Notwithstanding the prohibition
of the Danish King. The heaviest ships will soon
be ordered to return to France.
The blockade is continually evaded, as the ships
are unfit for such service. Yesterday the Lubbock
Chamber of Commerce telegraphed TO the German
consul at Copenhagen, asking whether the French
fleet was still in the Baltic as it had not been seen
for more than week. Notwithstanding the reported
return Of the French eet, preparations for defence
are unrelaxed, and news to-day from Alsen Sound

receive 1900 French prisoners, who will be placed
on the American steamers in the harbor.

| Herald "A despatch from Beauvais says that
within the past week advances have been made
toward the King Of Prussia concerning overtures
of peace. Official intimation has been given that
the King cannot have means of knowing the au-
thority of the persons making the propositions,
and that the time has not arrived to receive them
! and it will be time when the Prussan army has
arrived before Paris. The KING is still anxious for
such a peace as will give safety in the future and
will make a formal demand on Paris and be ready

an armistice, and her sincere desire for peace
