ADVICES BY WAY OF LONDON.
London, Sept. 16.-It is reported
that the railroad trains leaving Paris
yesterday and to-day, were attacked
and captured by the Prussians. Sn-
eral passengers on board were killed
and wounded. After to-day commu
nication with Paris will be uncertain.
All of the regular troops as we'll as
the Francs Tireure have left Paris to
oppose the movements of the Prus-
sian army OF the Loire. Bazaine's ar
my is well supplied with provisions
at Metz. The Prussians are slowly
concentrating around Paris.
The Times this morning b s q spec
ial telegram from Berlin giving the
following rumor as presenting the Ia
test intelligence On the question Of
meditation. Russia declines all fur
Their effort for meditation. Mr.. Ban
croft denies having invoked American
intervention. Prussia is satisfied with
the reserved attitude of England
As the defeated French hope for arm
ed intervention, Germany demands
the cession of Alsace and Lorraine.
The French have uselessly destroy
ed all works of art ON the highways
and railroads leading out of Paris
Notwithstanding the wholesale de-
struction of property, the advance of
the Prussian army has not been de-
layed a single hour. Paris Journals
to-day persist that mediation is pos
sible. The Prussians are massing at
some distance from the city. The
measures of defense at paris are now
so great that it is expected the fact
will act strongly in favor of peace.
A Paris correspondent writes to
the Times: There are those who
think it possible France would give
up a portion of her fleet, pay the cost
of the present war, raze the walls OF
Strasburg and Metz, abolish conscriP-
ton, and accept limitation OF the
army, as the price of peace, but no
body believes she will cede a foot OF
territory"
The Empress Eugene is greatly
annoyed by the army of sight seers
who follow and stare at her whenever
she appears in public.
Pere Hyacinth has published a let
ter expressing the warmest gratitude
to the United States for her prompt
recognition of the republic. He has
been prevented by illness from going
as a chaplain in the army. "The
letter addressed by Minister Wash
burne to the Minister of Foreign AT
fairs is" says the letter, "a page IN
the history of liberty in both worlds,
revives the memory of Washington
and Lafayette, and proves that if des-
po.ism succeeded in dividing the two
governments, liberty had not for a
moment ceased to unite the two ma
tions. Europe, on whose soil the
blood of our heroes defeated has been
shed, still keeps silent, while Ameri-
ca, notwithstanding the ocean sepa-
rates us, makes her voice heard
The Prussiaus are closing in on Paris
in a way that indicates an attack on
the southern and southeastern lines,
to secure their supplies, and at the
same time prevent reinforcements
from the south and west to the be-
seiged. Military men of experience
here say the power of the city 10 res
sist is limited only by the supply of
food. Trochu has 100000 men un
der arms, who will become good sol
diers behind the ramparts. The citi-
zens are determined to emulate Stras-
bourg. If the city holds out three
months, the Prussians will be driven
back to the Rhine. Trochu's procla-
nation, on Wednesday, to the troops
discloses the fact that most efficient
preparations for defense have been
made. The enemy will have to make
their way over b~erricades, if they sue
! coed in battering down the walls or
get in by surprise. On Wednesday
evening the first of a ssrits of mock
salies, to be made by the besieged
was made with eighty thousand regu-
lar troops.
A Paris dispatch of to-day says. the
