DEMONSTRATION IN FAVOR OF THE UNITEI
STATES.
PARIS, Sept. 8-Evening.-Great crowds o.
the garde mobile and citizens carrying French
and American flags made demonstration tbe
fore the American legation to-day of gratitude
for the recognition of the French Republic by
the United States. The letter of Mr.. Wash
burne to Jules Favre gives great satisfaction
The people seem persuaded that the American
Government will interfere in favor of peace.
JULES FAvRE DIscoURAGEs SPANISH RE
PUBLIC.
LONDON, Sept. S.-[Special to n. Y. Tribune. j
The following report of the declaration by
the French Foreign Minister comes to me
from private correspondent whose position
enables him to know the facts and who guar
antees the accuracy of the statements. Jules
Favre had been appealed to for quasi offica
sanction to a Republican demonstration in Ma
drd, with an intimation of Prim that he could
be President of Spanish republic. Favre re-
piled, "the government of France will not at
this moment make any movement to encourage
a Republic in Spain and would even prefer
that it should not be declared.
The reason which obliges us refuse is that re-
publicanism so spread would allocate and ter
rify Russia, imperil the negotiations pending
between the provisional governE1e and Rus
STA for an alliance offensive and defensive
against Prussia, should the latter prove too ex-
acting as to terms of peace; in other words. if
this alliance takes place and it is on the point
of realization, Russia marches stra ght upon
Berlin. She has already begun to ann and
ask what can tempt Russia, the answer is that
the same military strength which Prussia has
now directed against France will sooner or
later be turned against Russia whit view to
acquire all the German provinces of Russia"
My correspondent adds. You make use of
this intelligence, for it cannot long remain a
secret. 1t may may be depended upon abso-
lutely.
A Tribune correspondent, writing from Pari
Wednesday night, says the city is perfectly
tranquil but ugly elements are at work. The
t.
rial ambassadors have been recalled and new
ones appointed. Preparations for defence con-
tinue and the efforts made are extraordinary.
FROM THE FLEET
A correspondent of the Tribune, French
officer with the Baltic fleet, writes from Copen
hagen harbor Sept 81, that the squadron has
hitherto done nothing but blockade the coast,
and the task encounters numberless difficult
ties The squadron meyer anchors and is sub
ject to continued surprises in the night from
the Prussian gunboats, which coming out of
the harbors is known only to themselves, and
appear among the French vessels either to re-
connotre or blow them up with torpsdoes, as
has nearly happened in the roadstead of Danse-
ing, where Admiral Bonet anchored under the
l.
being very small and swift risk but little, and
with but one success might destroy the French
squadron. The squadron can only cruise on
the open sea, and then with great Danger
Want is felt of suitable vessels for blockading
purposes. Iron-clads are too slow and too great
draught, and cruising proves mos t difficult and
perilous Admiral Bonet has separated the
squadron into two divisions. The first divis-
ion blockades the shore from the Russian Fl
tier to Rugen, the second, under Admiral
Diendorne, watches the coast from Rugen to
North Schleswig No important encounter
has been had with the Prussian fleet. Two
vessels are about to return to France News
of McMahons and the Emperor's surrender
has just been received. The latter causes but
little grief, for the members of the fleet are not
Bonapartists Alter such events the squadron
must remain inactive, but if the new govern
ment resolves to continue the struggle we will
wage pitiess war upon the German coast.
Especial to Herald. A letter from Paris
dated Sept. 9TH, midnight, says the city con-
tnues strangely quiet, but underneath it is
easy to discover serious feelings of apprehen-
sion. There is beyond DOUBT much conceal
ed desire for peace on any terms in preference
to subieotng the capital to the horrors and
dangers of a seige, but everybody is afraid to
talk of yielding. The circular of Jules Favre
is liked. 1t inspires with courage the doubt
ing and undecided. EThe sombu weather in
creases the deresson.
