railroad d., from Mesiers to Montmedy, finding
trains filled with supplies waiting for him at
Sedan. Marshal Bazaine and Mcmahon COM

LONDON, August 23.-It is now regarded as
almost certain that the intervention of the
great powers will occur in o few days. Mar

authorized to deny the authenticity of Queen
Victoria's letter to the Empress Eugene, pub
lished yesterday. The Emperor undetermined
to charge with McMahOns army in the next
battle. The camp at Chalons has certainly
been broken up. The Emperor's headquarters
are at Rheims. McMahon's are at Crucelle. A
Paris special says it is reported that Bazaine
was reinforced on Sunday from Chalons, and
that the armies oil King William are too badly
crippled to assume the offensive. The dysen-
terry prevails in the Prussan army. Ten thous-
lin. In the Corps Legislatif yesterday when
manded the date Of his advices, and alse
whether the dispatch was from Marshal Ba-
zaine : Count Palikao replied it was dated
the 10th inst. The uproar in the Chambers
drowned the answer regarding the authorship
of the dispatch. The Archbishop of Paris di-
Pope felicitated the King of Prussia. 1t seems
certain that project has been brought before
the Great Powers to prevent the dismember-
ment of France. Assurances has been sent the
Pope by the French Government that Italy has
no intention of attacking Rome. The leader
of the Villette rioters has been condemned to
death. He wishes to confess, promising start
ling revelations. The Constitutional, on semi
official authority, positively denies that the
Empress Eugene sent to Queen Victoria for
mediation. The GGulois asserts that Bazaine
refuses to consent to the passage of $1,000
wounded Prussians through Belgium. Theap-
plications was made by the Prussians to Ba-
zaine through Lord Granville. 1t is reported
that the Crown Prince - abandoning the
of the Prussian armies west of Metz, which are
threatened with formidable attacks from Ba-
zaine, who has been reinforced by Mcmahon.
Metz is enclosed on all sides. Communica-
ton between Chalons is cut off. The head
quarters of the Crown Prince is at Barbecue.
Mcmahon and Failly are still retreating to
cover Paris.
BERLIN, Aug. 23-The following, from q
semi-offcial source, forshadows Prussia's pro-
babe demands in case of success The time
has arrived when Germany must be freed from
French interference and menaces, and have
long unbroken peace. nero change of dy-
nasty in France will not insure this, for the
next sovereign would seek soon possible
to recover the lost military prestige of France,
and the burthens of armed peace would be per-
petuated. Suppose France should issue from
the struggle with strength unimpaired, with
her strongholds, whence she could menace the
valley of the Rhine, and palatinate intact, the
generals, and the bravery of the German army
have decided, will be renewed. There can be
no trustworthy peace. Not thus must this
costly struggle terminate. We will only re.
sign our arms when we have been guaranteed
security against fresh contest whenever it
may suit the political necessities of a French
ruler to resume it,
MADRID, August 22.-The government has
lutionary outbreaks. The success of the Prus-
sian armies has caused the revival of the ques-
ton of Hohenzollerns candidature. There are
rumors that Prim proposes submitting the

reaching Bazaine. The Prussians are every
where guarding every pass. Bazaine is shut
up in the Prussian net between Metz, Grand
Rouge, the river Ornes and the road from Metz
to Etain. Mcmahon left Chalons, after burn
ing the camp for Rheims. There he left the
Emperor, and went in northern direction {:

of the troops is excellent, but never before
saw such incompetency and disorder in maneu-
vering. 1 feel perfectly sure that the leaders
do not say anything because they do not know

the Twelfth Corps, vice Trochu.
PARIS, Aug. 24.-The journals continue to
blame Prince Napoleon for his absence at such
a time .as the present. At a meeting of the
National Guards it was resolved that no pro-
position of peace should be entertained while
the Prussans were on French territory.

latif were unusually turbulent. Answering
