Further OF the Reported Defeat OF
the Crown Prince Southwest OF
Paris.
rSnecial to the World.l


LONDON, September 30.-Your special
at Boulogne telegraphs that exciting
news has been received from Rouen
of the crowning defeat Of
the German forces on the south and
west of Paris, by the army Of Generals
Ducrot and Mandon, on the 9th.
The French were heavily reinforced
on Monday, by General Trochu, and
advanced upon the Germans position at
Montreuil and Versailles, early Tuesday
morning. =,
The battle began at Virofay and
Velisv, the Germans contesting the
French advance with desperate energy,
until they were assisted by fresh
columns advancing from beneath the
guns of Valerein.
At St. Cloud through the Bois de
Fausses, Reveres and Vomeresson,
where number of regiments Of Baden
troops mutinied on the battlefield, and
refused to go under fire, nearly one hun
dred of these troops were shot by order
of the German commander, but the rest
held back, and many of them throwing
down their arms dispersed through the
forests. The Crown Prince was finally
Compelled to order a retreat upon
Bougival, abandoning Versailles to the
victorious French;
The German column, which at
tempted the passage of the Seine at
Bougival, was kept under terrible nre
from Mt. Valerien, which converted
their retreat into a rout, and they were
driven in confusion beyond ST. German.
Night alone stopped the pursuit.
The Germans lost large number oil
prisoners, among whom are many OFF,
GERS of the staff of the Crown Prince OF
Prussia, and fifty cannon and mitrail,
/ leuses.
The road to Orleans and Tours is re-
opened and cleared of the enemy.
REPORTS from Paris are that the gen
eral state of feeling is excellent Per
feet order is prevailing, and the morale
of the people and troops much improv
ed by the successive victories @: Trochu
and the Army Of Defense.

Reported Defeat of the Crown
Prince Near Mount Nalerien.
Special 10 the WOrld. !

oSTEND, September 30-Intense ex-
element was caused here this evening
by the arrival OF a special messenger
from Nalenciennes, bringing news of
The great battle fought on the Seine, on
the 27th, which resulted in the COM
Plete defeat of the Crown Prince OF
Prussia, under the guns OF Mount Va
.rren.
The victory was followed by the
evacuation of Versailles and Rambouil-
let and the rupture of the German line
Of investment. The Crown Prince is
Teireating rapidly northward upon the
army OF the King at Meaux and
scissors. Unofficial telegrams from
Berlin by way of Brussels contradict
this news, but it is certain that commu'
nIcations between Paris. Rouen, Amiens
and Nalenciennes have been par
uaIly reopened, and that official procla'
nations OF the victory of Tuesday

4 CONVENTION of negroes was recently
held at Poughkeepsie, New York.
Among the resolutions was one, in
which the sable brethern declare that
I'VE will give to negroes voting the
Democratic ticket no protection or
shelter in our houses and places oil busi-
ness; but will consider them an enemy
of our race forever" This is what
negroes call impartial suffrage" ," This
is the way in which the negroes of New
York exhibit their capacity for self
government. II negro will vote the
Radical ticket without thought or re-
Election, he is entitled to protection,
shelter and business consideration. If,
however, he votes the Democratic ticket
all houses and place Of business are to
be closed against him, and he is to be
hunted like wild beast This is negro
action, founded upon Radical advice.
Are a race of people fit to have voice
in this government which can thus be
led and manipulated?
