A Pressure on the Wheat Trade.

Notwithstanding the drouth in France
and the exhilaration of the breadstuffs
market by the opening of the great war
in Europe, the price of wheat in Western
cities, and in fact in all American cities,
fails to respond to the plain occasions
for a liberal advance. An explanation in
part is afforded in the fact that German
and French merchant vessels have with
drawn from the trade; and the American
merchant marine is so deficient, espe-
cially in steam propelled vessels, as to
leave the produce carrying virtually a
monopoly of the British craft. Thus the
British carriers are enabled to largely
advance the charge for transportation to
Liverpool. This advance says The
Sacramento Union, eats up three-ffths
of the advance in the price of wheat at
Liverpool. America has no mercantile
steam marine, and is greatly lacking in
sailing vessels; and Congress, In spite
of the sensible recommendation of the
President for an extra session to devise
measures for improving our commercial
facilities, to meet the wants of the
Country during the European war,
'obeyed the behests of the protectionists
and refused to re-assemble, lest in the
: encouragement Of shipbuilding at home
the iron monopoly of the Pennsylvania
manufacturers might be disturbed
The protectionists have their advant-
age for the present; though it works a
serious wrong upon the Country at large.
It is thought now that the President will
emerge from the genial waters of Long
Branch, before many weeks, and call
Congress into extra s~ession-to consider
the important subject to which he has
twice already asked its a~ttention-the
importance Of improving the present
opportunity to restore the glory of our
merchant marine. But, having been so
cavalierly cut by Congress on two occa-
sions, it is doubtful if Grant will call
the extra session. Congress seemed
averse to any action to encourage ship
building at the expense of other nations.
The utmost of its far-seeing wisdom,
when it did reflect upon the case, found
vent only in plans to substitute ship
lines from the funds wrung from the
taxpayers. Any plan to take advantage
of the necessities of the outside world
was repugnant 70 the honorable gentle
men, and not to be meditated for a mo-
ment. The chances are, the war will be
brief. Congress will scarcely have the
time now, after providing for the Fail
elections in the several districts, to &C
effectually for the advantage of tn,
merchant service of the seas.

FOREIGN NEWS.
NEW YoRK. August 3.

NEW York, August o.
A cable special to The Herald from
Coblentz, 4th, $50 pm, says there was
hard fighting at Weissenbourg yesterday.
To-day a large force of Prussians ad-
vanced between Weissenbourg and Lau-
terbourg; 10 miles into French territory,
driving the advanced posts of the enemy
and destroying miles of railroad be-
tween Lauterbourg and Strausbourg,
along which it is supposed Mcmahon
was preparing to advance. The French
loss was heavy. including many priso-
ners.
A special correspondent of The Trib-
une telegraphs from the Prussian head
quarters that the Crown Princes army
has stormed Weissenbourg.
Troops of the 9TH and 18th Prus-
sian army corps, reinforced by the I'd
Bavarian corps, engaged Gen. Donays'
division of Marshal McMahon's corps.
The French we're driven off of the field,
and the Prussians now occupy the
French camp.
Several hundred French soldiers were
taken prisoners. The Prussian loss was
considerable.
No movement is announced from the
lower Rhine.
The affair at Saarbruck is regarded
here as wholly unimportant. The Prus-
slams at no time contemplated holding
that town in force.
A correspondent of the Tribune writes
from Coblentz, Tuesday. that the Prus-
slams are in much greater force on the
banks of the Saar and Moselle than is
generally supposed; hence they do not
intend to fall back on Marquence or
Mannheim, but will hold the French in
check from Sierck to Lauterbourg.
LArEB.-The Prussian victory at Weis-
~senbourg was decisive. The troops en-
gagged we're regiments from the 9th and
18th Prussian army corps and the I'd
Bavaria, led by the Crown Prince in
person. The French force consisted of
Donays' division of McMahon's corps.
W~eissenbourg and Gerstill, in rear of
the town, were carried by storm, at the
point of the bayonet, after an obstinate
resistance.
The General who commanded the
French, in the absence of Donay, was
killed, with 2 officers of his staff.
The French encampment, n piece of
artillery, 500 wounded and prisoners, in
Guiding many Turcos, fell into the hands
of the Prussians.
On the German side, Gen. kersich-
bach was wounded. The Grenadier
Guard and Goth regiment suffered
severely.
A cable to The Herald, from Stras-
bourg, Sd, says: Yesterday, after the
council of war, Marshal Mcmahon, with
his Chief of Staff, Gen. Coulsen, sur
veyed the Rhine from the Kiehl bridge
upwards. They visited Brumath, 20
miles north of here. where a cavalry
division and part Of the LIST division of
infantry are encamped. From these
movements it is conjectured McMahon,
with the African army, is about to cross
the Rhine, and dash rapidly, by way of
Carlsruhe and Heidelberg, to Frankfort,
and that then he will endeavor to cut
the railroad in communication between
Berlin and the Rhine. 1t is believed he
will leave M~ayence on the left, while
the main army pushes on through the
lower Rhine Provinces to Mayence and
Coblentz. A forward movement, it is
rumored, is fixed for Saturday.
1t is reported the Prussians are gath
cred in force south, and that a Baden
force is in the Black Forest.

PARIS, August D.
1t is unofficially reported that the
French forces have taken Saarlouis, after
a great battle.
LONDON, August 4.
A special correspondent at Saarbruck
writes: | thought, at the end of my last
letter, that contributions from Saarbruck
were finished; and had set out for the
railway station; when a communication
was received from one of the best inform
ed men in the place which determined
me to stay; and to-day the monotony of
Saarbruck has been broken. Two thou
sand men, with 16 guns, have come
within a mile of town, and two whole
regiments are lying in the immediate
neighborhood. The first and third bat
talions and fourth Hohenzollern fusiliers
made their appearance IN the Saarlouis
road at the top of the hill, 2 miles out of
Saarbruck, about 5 o'clock, and with
them came 16 guns and a long line of
wagons. They did not come into town,
but turned into q ss.ge field, high up on
the hill, where they will b~ivouac. There
was great Joy at the news of their appear
ance. All the townspeople went to re-
ceive them, with provisions, cigars, etc.
Colt Zeilobbp came from the mouth of
a patriot OF my side, as the first cannon
appeared. When | wrote my first letter,
there were hardly more than 500 men in
| Saarbruck; and had the French made a
move forward, even with q small part of
their forces, we should have made no re-
sistance; but from one source and another
our force was ~curiously exaggerated.
The Paris papers have credited us with
an extraordinary garrison there. Gen.
Won Cohen made his appearance here
Yesterday, and remained q short time.
The present commander is General Won
Griessrean.
LIVERPOOL, August 5.
A meeting of the Chamber of Com
merce is called to consider the expedi-
ency Of p~etitioning the Government to
prohibit expectation of arms and mu-
nitions.
NEW York, August g..
A Tribune correspondent, writing from
Coblentz, Tuesday, says; Treves is now
headquarters Of the 9Th Army Corps.
The Prussian wagon and ambulance SER
vice is more perfectly organized, and has
its horses in better condition, than the
French. The soldiers are in admirable
spirits. Their enthusiasm is less noisy
than that of the enemy, but their quiet
confidence is far preferable to such effer-
vescence as I recently witnessed on the
other side.
Coblentz is full of landwehr. There
are few troops of the line there. Forti-
fcations are rapidly being strengthened,
and trees felled, in readiness for an at
tack. All commanding points about the
great fortresses, the occupation of which
would render it indefensible against
modern artillery, are strongly fortified,
and earthworks are being rapidly cor-
structed towards the French side.
A Tribune special correspondent at
Cologne writes, Tuesday, that troops are
passing steadily through that city, going
southwark; all in excellent condition;
each corps with provisions for six weeks.
No enthusiasm surpasses that Of the
South German regiments. many Of which
petitioned to form a part Of the advance
guard.

sinister MoiIey's Reean.-PrOisss IRON
Radical Quarters.

According 10 The New York Tribune,
Minister Motley has made himself objec-
tionable in England, on account Of ultra
Americanism. We do not like to think
The Tribune would stoop to an inten-
tional deception in such a case-for that
paper is usually fair and candid; but
something is wrong. Motley is arraigned
for un-American affiliations and sympa-
thies; and on the other hand is defended
by those who, by assertion or inneDdo,
attribute the removal to a wish on the
part of the President to displease Senator
Sumner. Mr.. Motley's social life affords
better grounds for the suspicion OF
friendliness to the lordly English man
ners than does anything in the character
of The President for the accusation of so
narrow-minded q course rs the recall Of
a worthy aud able Minister merely to
snub a supercilious and bigoted Senator.
Sumner deserved the snubbing-richly-
but Grant would not wrong a faithful
man and embarrass the interests of the
Country, to serve his own personal spite.
He has never done anything yet in that
way.
The Tribune is very particular to make
out the offense of Mr.. Motley to have
been his especial Americanism. He has
been, on the contrary, a cosmopolitan;
has been the pet Of foreigners, whose
patronage he has enjoyed. The Tribune
says that anyhow, the further considera-
ton Of the Alabama claims was to take
place in Washington, not in London
and the predictions of Mr.. Motley could
not have been q damage. But then, what
becomes of the action of Motley in the
case of his mention of the proposition to
adjourn the further consideration to
Washington? He wa snubbed by the
retort hat Her Majesty's Government
did not see the propriety of further dis
cussion of the matter; neither in Wash
ington nor London; and he poeketed the
insult, and kept on looking about him
for more agreeable subjects. Senator
Wilson, of Massachusetts,, was to the
trouble of informing the President, by
letter, that he was making a grave mis-
take; that the people of Massachusetts,
who gave you more than 5000 ma
jority ARE as ten to n for Sumner;
and it would be unwise to irritate the
people of that State. Fiei on such states
manship, and we are proud Of Grant,
that he d~isregarded the implied threat.
If the people of Massachusetts, are SO
powerfully for Sumner, and Wilson must
on that account come down TO p%ettifog
for him, let them pit him for the next
campaign against the freer, more indie
pendent policy of the West. The field
is open. The Motley is too hubby a
fight entirely, and we hope to see the
President keep on his way.
