THE LATEST wan NEWS.


The success of the Prussian armies
has been followed by a significant devel-
opment Of republican feeling. not in
France only. but in Italy. Spain, and
even England. In order to console the
Pope for the occupation of his prov
inces, Victor Emmanuel has assured him
that unless he had done so, there would
have been a republican outbreak in all
parts of Italy, which would not only
have swept away the Pope's temporal
domain, but probably have proven
troublesome even to the Royal Govern
ment. Following the declaration Of a
Republic at Paris, formidable sympa-
thetic movements have taken place at
Florence, Madrid, and other large cities
of Spain and Italy. But the most re-
markable demonstration of this kind
took place at London, on the 10th inst,
which IS represented as one of the great
est popular assemblages ever seen IN the
British capital. A correspondent says
he counted not less than thirty American
| flags along the line of the procession,
which was composed mostly of work
| ingmen's s societies, and occupied nearly
two hours in passing given point
Many of the banners borne IN the pro-
cession bore republican notices, and
the speeches made and resolutions
adopted were strongly denunciatory of
monarchial government in England.
The German armies have now COM
pleted the investment of Paris, from
Versailles to Vincennes, and there is no
longer communication with the be
leagured city, except through the Prus-
sian headquarters. This fact IS an
nounced in a dispatch from the royal
headquarters at A1eaux, contained IN yes
terday's telegrams. The forces of the
besiegers now before the walls of Paris,
are said to number 400, 600, and II IS
stated that Prince Frederick Charles
has an additional army of Il 900 be
tween Metz and Rheims.
-Ou Monday last a collision took
place between part Of the Prussian left
wing and a French force under General
Vinoy at the little suburb Of Wilson's,
about miles directly south of the for
tihcations. King Williams S dispatch
states that the affair resulted in the re-
pulse of the French with loss to them
of seven cannon.
Jules Favre, the civil chief of the
French government, has had an inter
view with Bismarck, the results of which
are yet uncertain. It is believed, how
ever, that propositions more favorable to
France than those hitherto reported were
made by the Prussian chancellor, and an
early peace is regarded as quite probable.
A dispatch from Florence announces
the occupation Of Rome by the Italian
troops who entered the Eternal City
without resistance, and were received by
the Romans with the greatest enthu-
siasm. The Pope remains in Rome. =
Further particulars are given in the fol-
lowing dispatches:

nearly crazed with delight
VILLA ALBoNI. September 2I.-The
Italian troops entered Rome through
the Porta Pia, firing on the mercenaries

then quietly occupied the city.
The Prussians have made another at
tack on Toul, but have been repulsed.
They are said to have entered Orleans.
The seige of Strasbourg still progresses,
and with vigor; but the city has not yet
surrendered.
