The FRENcn AND PRUssIANs.-Tho
bloody war which has been raging
between these two nations has ceased,
at least temporarily, by the adoption of
an Armistiee on Friday the Sd inst,
which is TO continue for twenty. five
days, during which time everything
OF war character are to remain as
found on that day. Great joy was
manifested throughout Europe on the
announcement of the Armisticc, and
it is hoped that peace will be the re.
suit. One Of the conditions is, that
an election is to be held in France,
and that the Constituent Assembly
meet not later than the 18th inst.
, LAfER.-Our last advices from Eu.
rope are to the effect, that Prussia has
rejected the Armisticc, from the fact
that the French authorities had so
foolishly amended it as topermit them
to transport powder into Paris.

A Havana letter of the 9Th inst. mentions a

of Cuba, the Spaniards claiming the victories
in all cases but they do not seem to gain much
ground. The Spanish General Pueblo had been
fifteen days absent with column of men from
Puerto Principe, and the Spanish authorities
had not heard word from him. A Cuban ae
count states that he found body of patriots
| entrenched in road. He attacked the frs,
entrenchment and captured it, the Cubans re.
firing in good order to second one. Pueblo
was then allowed to attack and capture that
the Cubans retiring to another some distance
in the rear. The Spaniards had safely encamp.
ed in the captured entrenchment but short
time when concealed mine exploded under
them killing most of them. This may explain
| why Pueblo has not been heard from. In some
parts of the Island the Spaniards are following
the example of the Cubans. and have burned
quite number of ranches.
