A PRUssIAN STORY PROM THE NEW YORK
TRIBUNE.
NEW YORK, August pa special Lon
don dispatch to the Tribune saws that the
arrival of the King at Bar LIE Due is the
best comment on the French stories as
siduously spread in Paris that the Prus-
slams were caught in trap at Metz.
McMahon's movements are known to
the Prussians, and they do not think
them of enough consequence to delay
an advance Of the Crown Prince. At
present detachmsnts OF 5 5einmetz's and
Prince Frederick Charles forces are
marching to strengthen the column NOV
ing on Paris. The Prussisn front now
stretches thirty or forty miles; the main
column is apparently marching by way
of Bar lie Due and Vitrey, while the left
wing has enyeloped Chsumont and
Brienne. From twenty-five to forty
miles southwark of the line of maren
of the main column. The French war
office will privately assert nevertheless
that McMshon and BaRine are in full
communication and are pursuing thet
PrussIans, which anybody may believe
who likes.
PRESENT EUROPEAN COMPLICATIONS.
NEW YORK, August 25.-The Worlds
special says that an envoy, from Madrid
has arrived in France to reopen negotia-
Iions for offering the Spanish throne to
Prince Thomas, .of Genoa, son of the
Duchess of Genoa, and brother-in-Iaw
| Of Prince Royal of Italy. The Papsi Gov
ernment no longer opposes the plan and
Marquis Rapallo, the step-father of the
Prince, fSvors its resumption. This Prince
is sixteen years old.
The same correspondent telegraphs from
London: 81 l have now the key of the
recent Wurtemburg mission to England.
The Court and people OF Wurtem burg are
! both dissatisfied with the course OF the
Prussian Government"
The contingent of Wurtemburg in the
Crown Princes army has been massed
with that of Baden in one corps and pat
under the command, not of any Wurtem-
burg officer, but Of the Prussian General
Won Wurden, second in command TO the
Crown Prince as Governor of Stettin
This gives great otense in the field and
at Stuttgart, and more than that, the
Bavarian corps are commanded by the
Bavarian Generals Won UndeTzender and
Won Ss-TmAnn.
The King OF Prussfs has also announced
his intention OF bestowing AIsace and
Lorraine upon his son-in-law, the Grand
Duke Of Baden, whose dominions are
COullkuOu6 u w uTLdLnDuEX- AkdlQHL
all this, Wurtemburg chafes and is pre-
pairing to resist the projects Of the Prus-
siAR Crown.
The mission of General Prole, of Rome,
is entirely successful.
The 1talisn army is moving to the
frontiers and there are no symptoms now
remaining of trouble, either in the POnti-
tical States or in Italy.
SEVERE ARTILLERY RATTLE.
CARLsHRUE, August 26.-There was a
severe artillery battle at Kehl and Stras-
bourg on Wednesday night, ing until

NEW YORK, August 26.-Gaillardet
| telegraphs as follows from Paris, 18th, to
| the Courier des EtGts UBls: Il shall be
/ brief; l cannOt speak to you TO-DAY
about the movements of McMahon, on
whom now repOse all hopes of the coun-
| try. L may tell you l participate in
| these hopes, and that l believe the van
I
liant revenge. A great battle is imminent
/ not becsUse we desire it, but because act
| ing with rapidity is an indispensable
| condition OF success to the enemv.
/ Moltke knows that Germany, with It's
| system of recruitment, must conquer
| rapidly, or be the victim OF the cam
| palgn. A fortnight's inactiOn on her part
| will give her no opportunity for forming
/ TWO new armies ana reinforcing those now
1 rPsigEIn0 fha invasion
/ for it that unless some signal disaster oc-
/ ours, we shall not listen to peace as long
/ as Prussian soldier remains on French
| soil. NJ. de La Tour D'Auvsrgne and the
whole press have unanimously approved
Of this.
The headquarters of King William art
at Bar LIE Due. One corps of the Prussiar
| army, which took part iE the battle o
| Woerth, occupies the Department Of the
Aube. The marcR of the enemy upor
/ Paris continues, but with some hes itation
"There haYe been stormy sittinss in tn,
| Corps Legislatit, concerning the errors o
| the Committee of Defense. As it always
happens, there has been a great deal o
noise about nothing"
GREAT STRATEGIC MOVEMENT ON FOOT.
NEW YORK, August ga special tC
the Times from Paris, 26th, SAYS: 81 dC
not expect specific intelligence from thii
side for several days. There is a grea
strategetic movement in progress, the i'm
portance of which is to be Judged of by
the reserve of generals and the authori
ties here. All letters and communica

correspondents are imprisoned wherever
found. 1 place no faith in the lying Prus
sian organs in London or journals court
ing German patronage in New York
