BAzAINE's PLUCE-RUssIA AND AUSTRIA
WILL NOT SERVE REPUBLICAN FRANCE.
PARIS, September z, 10 a.m.-At 1870
o'clock this m, a heavy skirmish took
place between the eighth squadron Of
French dragons which garrisOnsd Chat
teau Thierry, and the Prussl an advance
guard, which was r6pulsed. More Prus-
SLAMS are to be sent before StrasbOurg.
The Prussians tOuI d in the EmperOr's
desk detailed statement of the Prussian
forces, numbering 100000 men, l6, 600
cannon and I60, coo horses.
The GdHEOts reports that England, in
the name of the neutral powers, asks
king William for fifteen days armistice.
No reply has yet been received, but there
is some prospect Of assent.
A special c)rresl ondent of the Tribune
a. Rheims, September 6-h, says: " The
Kings headquarters were established
here yesterday, and are to remain till the
9th, TO give al the troops time to cOncen-
trabe, Including what can be spared from
Metz Seven North German corps, be-
sides two Bavarian and the Wurtemburg
corps, are on the road. According to OH
cial report, six full cavalry divisions and
also the main force ara expected to arrive
at Paris on the 18th or I4th. When the
regiments now coming forward arrive,
and reserves also on the way Join their
regiments, the German army will certain
" exceed 400, 600. The Inhabitants every
where reproach the Emperor, but do not
favor the republic. They are al anxious
for peace, and are mostly IN favor OF
Count de Paris"
The TT-i6ltRe's special correspondent at
Berlin on the Och, says the Duke OF
Mecklinburg, with the lst and 7th divis-
ions of the 9Th corps heretofore in Schles-
wig-HOlstein, and two divisions of re-
serves and Misunderstanding the army
formed at Hamburg in the politinate, is
on the way to Paris. Here and elsewhere
ali the line troops and reserve baJtaliOns
are gone. The guards and garrison ser
vice is performed by the landwehr. The
ndwehr officers absOlved from military
obligations years ago are notified TO hold
themselves ready for eventual service.
Bismarck has said he will have such
tremendous force in France as must
crush resistance and especially prevent
everywhere the organization of new
forces. The Nation clamors for Alsace
and Lorraine, but it is certain Bismarck
would be content with Metz and Stras-
bOurg held as neutral fortresses.
1t is reported that Bazaine not only re-
fused TO capitulate, when informed that
the Emperor and McMahOn's army we're
prisoners, and when the Emperor advised
the surrender of Metz, but declared, in
a towering passion, that he would not re-
pect NspOleOn's wishes, and would shoot
any French officer advising surrender.
It is believed that Russia and Aus
tria have rejected all overtures, and will
not stir for republican France.
