Important Movements.
$50 A. M.

3 LONDON, July 25 The specia! correspondent
of the New York Tribune writes from Metz on
the 22d inst, describing the movements of
troops at that place. There were 10000 SOL
diers at Forbach, 1000 at st. Avolt and 5000 at
Sarguemines There is large cavalry camp
at Thionville, which protects the left of the
French army. This force will be increased to
10000 The 1st division of the Sd corps is
commanded by Gen. Symonds and comprises
the 18th battOlion of chasseurs and the 59th,
division marched out on the morning of the
23t, and by this time is at Bombay, on the road
to SaarlOis The Imperial guard is reported to
be on the way to Metz, but their probable des-
tination is Nancy. Bavaran videttes have al
ready been seen with the Prussians. This fact
is important. 1t shows that Prussian and
South German forces are completely blended.
and that the Prussians have Bavarian cavalry,
which is superior to their own. 1t is conf
IDENTITY affirmed here that the Prussians are re-
firing and concentrating between Msyence
and COblentz Many arrests are made daily.
A correspondent of the London Standard has
been arrested. He entered the camp without
leave, telling the sentinel that his British
passport was an order from headquarters. The
authorities prohibit the sale of military maps
to civilians, and officers only can buy them
No parcel or goods are permitted to come BY
rail except by the quartermaster's order. The
factories unable to obtain coal will be obliged
to close.
The military chest arrived this morning. -
All the money is in gold, which shows that the
French intend to quit their territory immed-
ately and carry on the campaign where French
notes will not be taken.
Great importance is attached to the gun
boats, which will be used as they were in the
American war, and will act on the Rhine and
Moselle, and possibly on the Saarsboud. The
Prussiaus defend that stream. Each gunboat
carries one heavy gun manned by IL men. It
is believed that the Prussians have no gun
boats "
Everything is quiet in Luxembourg and COM
manicarion with Germany is easy
The French officers boast that they have a
million of men between Thionville and St.
Ruesbourg.
Passes to newspaper correspondents are still
rigidly refused. Gen. Bazaine sends to all ap-
plications written reply as follows: The for
NAL order of the Emperor prohibit the grant
ing OF any authorization to follow the head
quarters to any person not belonging to the
army. have therefore no power to grant the
request you have done me the honor to make
and can only refer you to the decision of the
Major General of the army
The Paris correspondent of the Tribune
writes under date of the 25th inst. that the
Emperor was expected to leave quietly Tor the
front last night but he did not 90. His de-
parture will probably be delayed some days.
IL is certain that he is ill.
