,n,yersary of the Battle of fLeipslc.

Anniversary of the Battle of Leipsic.
LONDON, Oct. 1S.-The Times to-day, in an
editorial on the Continental situation, reminds
its readers that this is the anniversary of the
battle of nations which occurred near Leipsic
on the 18th of October, 1918.
The Expected Bombardment of Paris.
It has been generally understood IN the Ger
man camp that the bombardment of Paris from
all the batteries simultaneously would be
opened on this anniversary day, which is so full
of glorious remembrances to the Germans, and
which has been regularly celebrated for years.
The world is waiting for the events of to-day.
The Anglo American Ambulance Corps
has left Versailles for Orleans, where there are
three thousand wounded French and Germans.
Some of the journals here to- day print short
letters dated at Paris, October l. They con-
tain no news.
The German Army In France
is maintained by constant reintorcements, and
it is estimated that there are fully six hundred
thousand armed Germans on French soil.
Nothing has yet been heard from La Ferte
St. Aubin. At the last accounts battle was
imminent at that point.
Gambetta has Left Tours
for the French army in the Vosges, which is to
be organized for the purpose of resisting the
German advance on Lyons.
The Prussians still occupy Meung quietly.
They have made no demonstration against
Blois and Tours, and it is not believed that they
will at present.
The following despatch has just been received
here:-
Paris Calm and Collected.
VALENCIENNEs, Oct. 1S.-Ribota, an attache
of the Foreign Office, has just arrived here
from Paris. He says the people are calm and
hopeful. Politically, affairs are unaltered. The
resolution seems to be common to all the Prus-
slams now investing the city to screen them
selves behind their powerful batteries.
The Best Gunners I'm the World.
So tremendous is the French fire that the
plains are absolutely swept by it. The best
gupners in the world are collected in the Paris
fortiications. The marines never miss their
mark at six thousand metres. The Prussiaus
are threatening the immediate bombardment of
Paris. This is impossible, for so long as the
French forts outside are so we'll served no
enemy can approach near enough.
The Manufacture OF Arms
is actively going on in Paris.
Thiers In France.
LONDON, Oct. Ism. Theirs has returned to
France
Russia ms n Mediator.
LONDON, Oct. 18.-It is reported that Russia
tenders her offices for mediation, and that Aus
tria and England are anxious for peace.
The bankers are to-day declining to negotiate
Berlin paper.
Hamburg and Bremen
are threatened by. the French feet, and the
excitement in those cities is intense.
Rumors of an Armistfce
are current in banking circles here, and stocks
are advancing.

Against n Prime Minister.

Against Prime Minister.
In the issue for the 1st instant of the North
German espoadent-Bismarck's organ-we
find the following curious statement:-
earl Granville, in his note to Count Bern
storff, on the 18th inst, states that the Royal
commission who (sic) inquired into the neu-
trality laws of 1867 decided that to prohibit the
export (sic) of munitions of war was impracti-
cable and impolitic.' We have carefully ex-
amined the Report of the Neutrality Laws
Commissioners referred to, which was pre-
sented to both houses of the British Parliament
by command Of Queen Victoria, in 1868, and we
find in it no such decisions as that attributed to
these eminent jurisconsults' by Earl Granville.
Their report does not contain one word on the
subject of the prohibition of the expectation of
munitions of war. If we acquit his lordship of
the deliberate intention to mislead Count Bern
storff and the public, it is our duty at least to
expose the gross misstatement made by the
Foreign Office.
"It is singular enough that Earl Granville's
reference to the report in question supplies us
with an additional argument in support of the
remonstrances of North Germany; for at page
4S of an appendix to the report we have found
very clear exposition of the laws in force in
France with reference to the expectation of
arms and munitions of war from that country.
The Information must be considered authentic,
having been supplied to the British Govern
ment by Monsieur de Moustier, in his capacity
of Minister of Foreign Affairs, under date
of February 26, 1867. 1t appears from
the official documents communicated by NJ
de Moustier that the expectation and transit
of arms and munitions of war to beligerents
are strictly prohibited, and infractions of the
law severely punished. Had Great Britain fol-
lowed the practice of France, the grievous in
fractions of neutrality of which North Germany
complains would not have occurred. The popu-
lation of France would hot have been supplied
with hundreds of thousands of rifles for the
slaughter of our citizen soldiers. For the
death-roll we hold Great Britain responsible.
In conclusion, we would observe that France
could not, with any show of reason, have COM
planned of Great Britain acting according to
the rules of French law, aud Earl Granvile's
plea of unfairness is mere transparent sub.
terfuge."

FRENCH WAR LOANS.

The New Demands on Towns and Departments.
The correspondent of the Economist at Havre
writes-
The prolongation of hostilities will of course
necessitate, or at least be made preteXt for,
new loans Of towns and departments. Havre,
for its part, after raising 300,000f, is now trying
to get, and no doubt will obtain, l 1000, 000f.
more; and the neighboring department. of CAL
vados, though entirely agricultural, is demand
ing 5000, 000f. The department of La Vendee,
though in part of the country not likely to be
invaded, asks for 500, ,000f. Marseilles, even
when there were hopes of peace, determined on
having 10, 600, 0O0f., and probably will now con-
slider large additional sum necessary. In
word, all France is seized with the mania of
of her requirements when made up, will be
startling The extreme scarcity of small notes
and coin is grievously felt in every commercial
town, particularly as regards the payment of
wages to workmen and laborers. At Lille il
has been, or at least is on the point of being,
remedied by the issue of private paper money
destined to circulate exclusively in the
locality. 1t is probable that the example set
by Lille will be extensively followed. At
notes, with, however, this difference-tbat they
shall be guaranteed by committee of the prln-
cipal manufacturers and that it shall fix the
amount to be granted weekly to each employer.
At Rouen the matter is under consideration. At
Bordeaux the plan recommended was that
number of bankers and merchants should SUBJ
scribe among themselves certain sum in notes
say l,0O0, 000f. to begin with-to be lodged
in the branch of the Bank of France, and
stamped with the word deposit" to prevent
them from going into circulatlon-and that
small notes of five francs and ten francs, to the
amount of them, should be issued under the
guarantee of the bank.

ITALIAN ROME.
Prote,t OF the Papai Government.

Cardinal Antonelll has sent TO the members OF the
diplomatic body in Home protest against the recent
proceedings OF the Italians. His Eminenee says:-
'sIn presence of this fact, which has been accom-
plshed before the eyes OF all Europe and by which
the sacred principles OF all law, and specially OF the
law of nations, have been trampled under foot His
Holiness has directed the undersigned Cardinal
Secretary of State to object and protest loudly,
as he now objects ana protests In his
august name, against the unworthy and sacrilegious
spoliation OF the dominions OF the Holy See which
has been accomplished, declaring at the same time
the King and his Government responsible for all the
damage which may result to the Holy See and to tue
Pontca subjects from this violent and sacrllegious
usurpation. His Holiness, moreover has ordered it
TO be declared, as the undersigned now declares in
his august name that this usnrpation Is deprived OF
all effect is null and without any value and that IL
can never in any way prejudice the incontestable
sion, whether OF the Holy Father or OF his success
sors; and, II force prevents the exercise OF these
rights, HIS Holiness intends and wishes to preserve
them intact, in order TO resume, at his own time,
their actual possession. In informing your Excl
lency by the express order OF the Holy Father, OF
the unqualihable event which has taken place, and
OF the protests and objections which follow II, in
order that your gXcellency may bring the whole to
the knowledge OF your Excelencys Government,
the undersigned Cardinal cherishes the hope that
that Government will feel that strong interest which
is due 10 the supreme head OF the Catholic Church.

that he will no longer be able TO exercise his spir-
