An interview between Jules Favre and
Count Bismarck will occur shortly, but no de-
lay will be caused in the investment of the
city unless the meeting should have some i'm
portant result.
correspondent of the Times writes from
Berlin that he has struck the cue to the
course of the King, seemingly to ignore the
present government of France.
He says Prussia recognizes Napoleon as
the Emperor of the French in order to in
form the political and expecting candidates
TO the throne of France, that Prussia will
recognize that government only which
cepts the terms which Prussia will propose,
therefore, as the republic of France is ig-
noring the prussian terms, Prussia ignores
the republic.
PARIS, Sept. 10.
A fight took place yesterday ten miles from
Paris, between the advance guard of the Prus-
slams and accommodating party of the French.
The latter were driven back and the Prussians

numbered $4,000. The fight was very bloody,
and the French though beaten inflicted heavy
losses on the Prussians. The contest ragged
for upwards of two hours.

y. .5ls LONDON, May 20,
The following particulars of the Coup Deaf
in Portugal, has been received here: The
movement, which mas been for some time in
preparation, was confined TO the army, and
its object was simply to compel change in
the ministry. The Duke of Saldana having
great influence over the troops, secured
the support of large majority of the garrison
of Lisbon Yesterday morning he was ready
for action, and moved against the Castle of
St. George, This strong fertilization, after
desperate struggle, was carried. The Duke
then marched at the head of a large body of
troops to the Royal Palace. The Governor
of the Palace had taken measures of defence,
and the Duke put troops and posted artillery
in position to oppose him, and an attack
was ordered, and some shots were fired, but
the soldiers on both sides evidently were not
disposed to fight each other, and after desul-
tory firing they broke ranks and fraternized.
The Palace was left unguarded, and the
soldiers, volunteers and some peasants who
accompanied them, entered. displaying the
popular flag, and shouting Long live the
King Long live the army" 'Saldana :"
''Down with the Emperor"
Though greatly excited they committed no
violence, and contented themselves with
marching through the corridors and grounds,
singing national songs and uttering patriotic
cites. .aff5t }t
The Prime Minister Duke de Soulest was
detected owing to the day lost, and rendered
his resignation, which was accepted by the
King. Saldahna wac then admitted to the au-
dence, and Was directed by the King to form
new Cabinet which he consented to under
tvke. Seven men were killed and wounded
during the day. Though the cause of the
Duke Ia Saldahna has the sympathy of the
