New YORK, Oct. 7.-Tbe French gun
boat La Tou,che Treville, whose departure
caused such excitement Wednesday evening
III connection with the sailing of the German
steamship Westphalis, arrived in the upper
bay YESTERDAY evening. Her arrival causes
no email amount of qualification to those
who have been under apprehensions for the
safety of the German steamer, and the re
port that she was chased by the French men
having caused much anxiety. The West
phalia had on board upwards of 100 passen-
gers and large and valuable cargo, but
she proved too fast for the gunboat. 1t
seems the La Touiche Tevllle conveyed the
Vile de Paris some distance out 30 sea, and
seeing the West Phslia some forty miles
from Highland Light. The Frenchmen at
tempted to head her off, but failed by gap
of four miles and abandoning the chase
and returning to this port yesterday, where
she will probably avail, another chance OF
renewing her chase after another German
steamer.
BERLIN, Oct. IA dispatch from Yer
sailles announces that the French gu erriiias
who infest that vicinity have ambush, ID and
shot the Crown Prince of Wurtem burg.
While he was riding IN the Fark of s, Cloud,
his escort were assailed with perfect ain
of bullets All escaped except the Gro vn
Prince, who was seriously wounded. He WAS
Immediately conveyed to the village. The
escort wheeled quickly and rode furiouslv
into the woods, but their assailants had
vanished.
The free shooters swarm in the Park and
through the Forest of St. Cloud, and cause
great mischief by firing upon every Prussian
soldier or sentry in that direction. They
attack the couriers and haras, and intercept
all communication between St. Cloud and
Versailles.

has been received from the capital:

without encountering any formidable force.
At Chevily the prussians were protected by
earth works and opened terrific fire upon
the French to which the latter replied yig-
orously. The Mobiles behaved splendIdid

Prussian works but they we're unable to
capture the redoubts though they inflicted
heavy loss the retreat was made in perfect
order and the troops have been congratuia

Fort Ficetree returns with the information
