LONDON, Dec. l3.-LSpecial to the New York
World.l-The clubs are greatly excited over the re-
port that important dispatch was received in
London to-day from Bismarck, declaring that
Prussia would no longer respect the neutrality of
Luxembourg, and would proceed TO effect the
neNation OF that State to the German empire. An
other rumor states that the dispatch relates to the
boInbardmeut of Paris, which is now commenced.
A private dispatch received from Meung, to-day,
states that a letter from English officer with De
Chauzy makes it certain that the Germans have
grossly misrepresented the result of the actions
near Beaugency. The truth is that the losses

Bavarian divisions refused longer to continue the
struggle, and were allowed to retire 10 Orleans.
This so weakened Prince Frederick Charles that on
the sth the advance on BlOis was abandoned, while
his situation is threatened. The four corps under
De ChauZy are in an extremely good position.
A correspondent at Versailles makes the state
ment that in conversation on the political situa-
ton, Bismarck said strong efforts were making for
the restoration of the Emperor Napoleon; that

without French plenipOtentiary, and France had
no authority to appoint one just now; and that he
would not recognize the authority of men of the
pavement to sit among their betters.
