city has the following:-- lftreF ~
Last evening the Bishop of the city, actuated
by desire to stop the effusion of blood, under
took to bring about some sort of o truce or me-
diation. With view he went to Schielingheim
and had an interview with Major Leczinsky
chief of the Prlissian staff He urged that the
bombardment was contrary to the laws of hu-
manity and modern warfare. The inhabitants
had been denied leave to withdraw from the
city. The bishop obtained twenty-four hours
cessation of the bombardment, in order
to give the Governor of Strasburg an
opportunity to negotiate. The Governor was
accordingly invited to come out and examine
the preparations which had been made by the
Prussians for continuing the siege. AS Major
Lec1nsky escorted the bishop back to Stras-
burg, his flag of truce was riddled with bullets.
The bombardment continues with guns of the
largest calibre, and the surrender of the city is
merely matter of time.
The Prince Imperial
was at Sedan on Sunday night, where the EN-
peror was also expected. A force of German
Uhlans was at that time only nine miles south
of that place. cr s.f .TE 0G} roftaf9s 14

The Great Battle at Hand. 3
La Liberte says, "The hour of great battle
has arrived. The situation has a new aspect A
battle must now take place in the valley of Ar
gonne, and perhaps from there to Metz The
Prussians understand how grave events have be-
come for them. Defeat is fatal. We must soon
know, as we have reason to believe battle is
raging now. If the Prussians are defeated they
cannot march on Paris, but must retreat behind
the Moselle. France every moment grows more
formidable She is preparing new armies. Even
now vast numbers of new regiments are ready
to take the field. Defeat cannot subdue u.s."
