PLETELY ROUTED.
Tours, Sept. 30.
A large number of private docum ,nts belonging
TO the Emperor, which were recent y seized atthe
Tueres by the officers of the NV government
have been published here in the official journal of
the Republic. Many noted persons of the oldregime
are implicated in the scandals.

dismissed NJ. De Vienne, president of the Court OF
Pardons, be having been shown to be mixed up in
the scandalons transactions of the eN-Emperor aud
Margaret Bellepger.
The Jecker correspondence in relation to Mexico
was unearthed, implicatng the Duke de Morny
sides these were found letters from Persigny to
Napoleon, proving the existence of black tri-
bunal; and another from the Queen of Holland,
written directly after the battle of Sadowa,
ing the Emperor against the very events now
occurring. Altogether, the disclosures thus far
made in regard to the private life of Napoleon have
substsntiated all the charges that the opposition
ever made; and it is thought the next lot soon to
to be published will be still more scandaous.

LONDON, Sept. 3O.-[Special to the New York
Herald. 1T has been determined by the Cabinet to
make strong and last appeal to Prussia to consent
to peace in consideration of the destruction of the
fortresses in Asaee and Lorraine, without the dis
memberment OF France 1t is rumored that this
position of England is taken in apprehension of the
| Warlike movements of Russia which occasion a
disinclnation to see the power OF France too much
broken.
LONDON Sept. SO.-[Special to the New York
| World AT Cabinet meeting held to-day, the
European situation came under discussion. The
meeting was fully attended by the Ministers. Mr..
| Bruce the Home Secretary, urged the Importance
of such action on the part of England as should
sociate her with Russia in the pacifcation of Eu-
rope, and pointing out the danger of leaving the
entire initiative of what he described as inevitable
| interference to Power which had much interest
in depressing and not enlarging the influence of
| Great Britain,
Earl Granville and MIR. Cardwell, Secretary of
| War, were not indsposed to this view, but repre-
sented the impossibility of action without recog-
niZing the French Republic, which they maintain
ed existed only by the irresponsible acts of the
| galleries of the legislative body
| The Duke of Argyle objected that the Republic
had been recognized formally by the United States
government, and 1t would be sort of constructive
| dscourtesy to the United States to assume that a
| government which existed with sufficient warrant
| to command American recognition had no sutficen
standing in fact to justify treaty with and through
it for so great an object as the settlement OF
Argyll also dwelt particularly upon the import
ance of such questions in Europe to Russia, whose
policy in Asia was of SO much consequence to the
| present and future of Great Britain.
MIR. Gladstone inclined to the sentiment of the
majority of his colleagues, which Is believed to be
the sentiment, also, of the Queen that no govern
ment exists in France which can properly be re-
cognized by Great Britain at this time The ad
vices of Lord Lyons, the British minister at Paris
were indeed very urgent In the contrary sense, bu
the course of the government could not be ebso
utely determined by reference to the views of any
and respect of the government
The final decision arrived at was that nothing
could now be done, as it was not expedient TO re
cOgnize the only government with which any rela
tions could be at present established in France
This result has created great excitement through
