New York, September 26. The special
London correspondent Of the Tribune
writes from Meaux, on the 18th instant,
headquarters, that King William had i,
conversation with Bismarck, during
hich 1 asked him if the report was true
that there WAS an English representative
here. He answered: 1.-The English hnve
asked me- if we would treat with Favre,
and replied VIC would if his Govern
ment would guarantee the possession Of
Metz and Strnsburg. This he could not
do" 'ln this war, we are influenced" {"
said Bismarck, "by no motive OF aggran-
dlzemcnt whatever; we have no purpose
in view but or own security. Conse-
quently, we must provide for the next
war, which is sure to come. France is
now without allies, but may soon sue
ceed in procuring them, and it is sure to
commence another war under better aus
pices. That is why we demand these
fortresses; but the present Government
IN Paris dare not agree to the cession of
French territory, nor probably will the
next Government; but our purpose is
fixed, and, if necessary, we are ready to
stay NIL the winter at Paris" 1 said the
general impression was, that France is
too much weakened to begin another war
for many years. "That is not the case, {"
said Bismarck. "France is very veal
thy country and will remain so after the
war. Within five years. she will have so
fur recovered as to be able to recon-
mence hostilitics. For that reason, We
must have those fortresses; but as the
Government at Paris is not disposed to
deliver them up, and probably has no
command over them, peace is not very
near, and we must wait until we can re-
duce them. We hcur the gnrrisons are
already eating horses" (The French
are accustomed to such Diet Then the
question Of peace, said, reduces itself
to one for the possession of Metz and
Strasburg. He answered, Eyes, that is
it, precisely"

propose to give evidence that this reme-
DIV is not a Patent Medicine. The objection
which generally lies against oil discoveries
and inventions in medicine is Publicity"
II somebody should discover a remedy topro.
long life, or an infalliblc cure for cholera or
consumption, what a monster would he DO to
withhold his knowledge. We have yet to
learn from what chapter or verse in Scripture
to quote " that men may not heal others Of
their fellow men Of any disease"
Nor have we asked Pickwicks, Affected
Prudcs, or, in short, men who are possessed
Of every kind Of sense but common sense,
and all kinds OF opinions but their own. The
Buchu Is 4 good thing-it has hundreds Of
thousands OF living witnesses to attest ito
virtue and commend it. It is the prejudice
Of blgots and the envy Of Quacks."
