EMPERoR-KING WILLIAM AND THE POPE
HIGHLY IMPORTANT CoRREsPoNDENoE-THE
oRLEANIsTs AND THE LONDON PRESS
PARIS, Aug. 10.
The Figaro makes the following report Of
the movements and doings of the Emperor:
On Tuesday, the 10th, the Emperor, who
lad not yet heard Of the battle of that day,
received the mayor and sub-prefect Of Verdun,
and spoke encouragngly to them. He was
then accompanied by the Prince Imperial, but
was almost without an escort. He went to the
railway station and demanded train. The
officers of the road could furnish only third
class car, and the Emperor assured them he
would be satisfied with that. The Prince
Imperial seemed to be greatly fatigued. A
locomotive preceded the train, to see that the
road was clear. Next morning at daylight
the Emperor reached Chaons.
While at Metz the Emperor issued the fol-
lowing order, which was printed and distributed
among the officers:
The Prussians commence action by putting
forward a small force, but placing heavy bat
teries behind them in good positions. They
then form a line of sharpshooters, who, under
cover of the woods, keep up constant fire,
and gradually gain the flank of their enemy
When the sharpshooters are well engaged the
Prussians put forward strong bodies of troops,
as possible unseen. Having given these de-
tails, the Emperor concludes by directing Off
GERS to initiate the tactics of the enemy.
LONDON, Aug. 10.
The following is the letter Of the Pope to
King William, proposing mediation:
Your Majesty: In the present grave circum-
stances it may appear an unusual thing to re-
ceive letter from me, but as the vicar on
earth of the God of peace, / cannot do less
than offer my mediation.
It is my desire to witness the cessation of
warlike preparations, and to stop the evils of
their inevitable consequences. My mediation
is that of sovereign whose small dominion
excites no jealousy, and who inspires conf
dence by the moral and religious influence he
personifes. May God lend an ear to my
wishes, and listen also to those form for
your Majesty, to whom / would be united in
The bonds of charity. Given at the Vatican,
July %, 1870.
postscript adds, 81 have written identi-
cally to the Emperor"
The Kings reply is as follows:
Most august Pontiff: am not surprised, but pro-
foundly moved, at the touching words traced by
your hand. They cause the voice of God and of
listen to SO powerful an appeal God witnesses that
neither nor my people desired OF provoked war:
soveregns and nations we take up the sword to de-
tend the independence and honor of our country,
ready lay it down the moment those treasures are
If your Holiness could offer me, from him who so
unexpectedly declared war, assurances oisincerely
pacific dispositions, and guarantees against SINH
lar attempt the peace and tranquility of Europe,
il certainly will not be who will refuse to receive
with you in bonds of Christian charity and sincere
friendship WILLIAM.
PARIS, Aug. 1S-4P. M.-[Special to the
New Y ork Times The nomination of Gen'l
Trochu to be Military Governor of Paris, and
the recall of the Garde Mobile to the Capital
inspire great confidence among the people, as
proofs that the army of Paris is able to repel
any attack of the enemy, and rendering it GER
tain that Paris will be well defended
Fighting is still going on, but Bazaine will
only send report when the result is certain.
There is no confirmation of the rumor that
Prince Frederick Charles has been wounded.
/ have just heard from good source the
original cause of the hostility of the London
Times to the Emperor, and the sudden wheel
around of the Daily Telegraph in the same
direction. Lady Waldegrave, Of Strawberry
Hill, a great friend of the Orleans family, is
dining and wining the London journalists with
view to make patizans. Delane, of the Lon
don Times, drives there three times week.
and has been more easily won over by hen
ladyship, from the fact that he lost $40, ,00C
in the time of the Hohenzollern affair, by
stock speculations for rise, in faith of the
announcement of the settlement of the wal
question by NJ. Olliyier's lie Constitutional
Among the recent conquests of the Sorer
of Strawberry Hill are Monsieur and MADAME
Lesg, of the Telegraph. They honored al
invitation of her ladyship, and the allegiance
of that journal was secured.
