[Casle Special 10 the Tribue.l
LONDON, August 25.-The Tribune
special correspondent from Rheims
Tuesday, sends very important and
late news of the French movements
which was not allowed to be tele-
graphed: Yesterday evening there
were about 10000 troops in and
about Rheims, under Mcmahon.
During the night they began to move
toward Ardennes, and are still NOV
ing IN that direction. By noon this
place will be entirely evacuated.
They take the road to Bethel and
MeZieres. but even the officers do not
know how far they will go in that di-
rection. If what is believed here
about BaZaine is true, the two armies
will soon be united. Bazaine is re-
ported at headquarters to have said
that he could beat the enemy on the
10th, but if be waited until the 25th,
he could annihilate them.
This evening the moving of troops.
which began last night, continues.
Artillery, infantry and cavalry came
pouring In uninterruptedly through
the town. It is raining hard ID day.
l compute that Learly 100000 men in
all. have passed. There is no longer
doubt about the direction of this
movement. From officers Of the bag
gage and supply train l learn that
they have orders to go direct to
Montmedy.
Two baggagsmen who tried to get
towards Verdun had been stopped By
the Uhlans. and all reports agree that
every road thither is picketed by the
Prussians.
Reorganization proceeds with the
utmost dispatch. As one example.
a supply train of Eve hundred wagons,
fully equipped. was organized and
reached Rheims, from Verdun, in
three days.
High officers here are positive that
a part OF BaZaine's forces are between
Brley and Etain. Our movements
from Rheims, to join him, are made

The Second Army of Reserves, now
forming near Chalons, composed of
old soldiers, will reach three hundred
and fifty thousand.
The Emperor will command the
Imperial Guard in person.
The 1ribUne's correspondent from
the Crown Princes headquarters, of
the 18th says: No delay of advance,
town after town being occupied. which
you may hear, but you can scarcely
realize the extent of the invasion.
While the Crown Prince has ad.
yanced through northern Alsace 10
Lorraine, two other German armies
have entered the French territory
from Rhenish Prussia, and the re.
serves are ever increasing. It is no
exaggsration to say that the con-
quered provinces will barely hold the
troops pushed into them.
Pfalzburg holds out.
Gen. TOlhaut received the flag of
truce with firm refusal to surrender,
adding that he should next day, the
10Th. FIRE salute of 21 guns Ia honor
of the Emperor.
The Tribuae's special correspondent
at Paris writes on Wednesday, before
the Chalons camp was RACED, that il
was fired to prevent the Prussians
from occupying il, aud to destroy a
great quantity of stores which they
had no time to remove.
Telegraph clerks and other officials
say the only Government orders on
the previous evening were to pack up.
The bombardment of Strasbourg Is
said TO have inflicted but little dam
age thus far.
Heavy siege artillery is coming
up from Loudon, Rastadt, Mayence,
and other Prussian forts.
Another Tribune special corre-
spondent writes from Paris, Wednes-
day evening, that the loan is strik-
Jog failure as compared with the for
mer subscription. Adding the estimate
cost of efecting the loan, the def
cheney of subscriptions on the first
day is 185, ,000.0 900 francs, while the
former Imperial loans we're covered
many times over.
The full amount of this will be
made up, but a cousidera.

tors who cannot pay.
a private correspondent before
quoted, writes from Paris on Wednes-
day that Trochu's power daily ap-
pears more nominal than real. He |
said himself, yesterday, to Gambetta,
that he had one, coDfessing his will
iDgoess but his inability to allow the |
re appearance of the Cloche and Cen
ire Gdache newspapers, recently sup
pressed.
Persigny said, yesterday, to Ameri. |
can friends, that the want of capacity |
and fidelity among the Imperialists
has destroyd this Empire. Moderate
begin TO think it is time |
to act, and they chafe at the sloWnsss
of the Left.
The Baltimore Bonaparte, just pro-
NOTED to a lieutenant colonelcy, has |
not joined his regiment. but is prac-
tically commanding at Tuileries. He /
says the Empress beh. YES with due
pluck aud dignity. Tne story that
she wrote to the Emperor to put
Louis uuder FIRE and not where spent
balls fell, is not true, but it is true
hat she spoke impatiently OF the En-
peror for not exposing himself.
The Government still wiihholds /
arms from all who refuse to go to the |
frontier.
