tered no French blockaders or obstacles.
The Prussians now surrounding Paris

outside of rapge of the French guns.
The French are clAmOrOus to be led out

The Telegraph has reasons to know
that the cause for Gen. Ignatiff's depar-
ture from Constantinople were PERSONAL
not political.

dent of Luxembourg, is now at the Hague.

Bazaine Ready to Capitulate, If the
Empire il ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Prophets.
LONDON, Oct. Gable TO the Herald
A correspondent writes from Berlin on
| tllt 20. IlC lUCb 10 SllOuSlH dlhONebSIb
that the surrender of Strasbourg is likely
to produce a complete change in the war.
1t is said Bazaine is now willing to ca
pitulate upon an offer by the Prussians to
| restore the Imperial Government and
order and agree to peace.
TheMetz support of Imperialists, soldiers
and a majority of Bourgeoise and peas
| ants, and well informed persons express
the conviction that Napoleon, or his son
under the regency Of the Empress, will be
recalled to the throne, and Wilhelm's
house is the rendezvous of distinguished
guests of the Emperor The hotels in the
vicinity are crowded. t.tr
England PostPOnes her Peace Move
Russia not BeIligerent.
| LONDON, Oct. Gable special to the
New York Times.-The result of the
Cabinet Council yesterday, according to
| the London Times, is furCher postpone
ment of action of the ministry in regard
to mediation. This delay can't be of
long duration. The tone of the Times,
itself, yesterday, shows that the govern
ment must yield to public sentiment.
Another letter from Bulwer this morn
ing to that paper on the conclusive duty
of England in this crisis declares as his
| tOrical fact that, when the Emperor told
| Sir Hamilton Seymour that he meditated
marching his troops on the municipalities
if England firmly protested he would not
have taken that step, and if she had pro-
tested against Napoleon Ill undertaking
this war in same manner he would not
have commenced. Sir Henry therefore
deprecates the ministerial policy of wait
ing for good opportunities which may
never arrive.
The weak points of the defenses of
Paris, which the Prussians rely on carry
ing promptly, are the heights of Sceaux,
which approach the forts within 400
PAGES, the distance between the forts
and city being $4,000 PAGES more, and
gaps on the western side, north and
south of Mount Valerien.
We have now official contradiction of
the statement that Russia is preparing for
war. The rumor of the purchase of iron
clads from the United States is denied.
The Moniteur, replying to Prussian re-
! ports about INSTRUMENTATION andthe shoot
ing of number of Gardes Mobile, pub
| fishes stories ofmutinies among Badenese at
Versailles and shooting of German SOL
| diers.
The reports of French successes in the
neighborhood are fatty contradicted by
the Prussian organs. The latest report of
the retaking of Versailles by the French
the Prussians characterize as a wholesale
| invention.
Our correspondent, writing from Rome
the Path, says the form of plebecite
| adopted by the Junta leaves the action of
the Italian government, in regard to the
Pope, unfeitered. All parties are de
sirous of seeing the Head of the Church
handsomely provided for.
The French arms are reported TO have
commenced moving in the departments,
but ] am afraid their evolutiOns are con-
fined to paper. The Red Republican
movement at Marseilles is going ahead.
