All the bonds which / have thus far
considered bear six per cent. interest.
During the years, however, of 1864
1865, 1866, 1867, and 1868, there were
issued five per cent. bonds amounting
in all to the sum of S195, ,139 $50,
which Mt the various estimates already
made of the price of gold cost the
purchasers tho sum of $l22 ,957 40
The bonus to the bondholders, grow
ing out of the sale of these bonds,
amounts to s72, 1872, 40. The interest
thus far received on this fictitious $72,-

That which remains to be received in
the future on the same fraudulent ba-
sis will reach $132, ,6S4 ,95S. The

THE SIEGE OF STRASBOURG-A FLAG OF
TRUCE FIRED UPON.
CARLsRUHE, August 30.-Adv;ccs from
the headquarters Of General Beyer's troops,
besicging Strasbourg, represent that the
work Of reducing the fortress continues
with ardor. The breaches in the works are
rapidly extending, and the final assault up
on the city viii doubtless soon be inaugu-
rated.
The garrison have just been the perpe-
traitors of an uncxampled act of treacbery,
which will Doubtless provoke severe meas
ures against the besieged 1t appears that
a communication was received from within
the walls by the commander of the Prus-
slams bcsieging to the effect that an impor-
tant proposition was about to be made by
the French officials. Upon this announce
mcut General Boyer, commander of the
South German troops conducting the siege,
ordered temporary cessation Of the artil-
ery fire. a formal request was then re
ceived from the Bishop Of Strasbourg that
the bombardmant be stopped. This request
was decisivcly refused. The Bishop then
asked that the Inhabitants and uon.comba-
tants be allowed to leave the town, but this
also was refused. Finally lie asked for an
armistice Of twenty four hours in which to
arrange parlcy.
General Boyer aocelc1 to this latter re-
ques and granted the Bishops prayer upon
Tie condition that the Governor Of Stras.
bourg should announce his desire t. ne
goliate.
Colonel L. Z. c. Z,n.ky was dispatched
TO the French commander on behalf # the
Prus-ilus, carrying Prus-iau Gag Of truce.
