FOREIGN NEWS.

LONDON, Dec. 1G-Evening.- The Pail Mall
Gazette this evening in 40 editorial article on
the Luxembourg treaty declares it to be the
duty of England in this crisis to impress upon
the P1ussian Government the fact that her
violation OF the territory of Luxembourg will
not be regarded with indifference by Great Brit
ain or pass with impwnity. The mere depar
!ure I1Jm he, au.y ~ s,4c v-4t Of Luxembourg
is no excuse for this Prussian aggression.
LONDON, Dec. 16-Eveninr.-A dispatch
received from Versailles to day gives a new
explanation OF The delay Of opening the bonn
bardment of Paris by the Prussians. There
is a lack OF ammunition 10 the German army
and the roads are so wet and heavy that none
can be brought forward. The same cause has
prevented the heavy seige guns from being put
into position. Probably the fire will not be
opened for a fortnight.
VERSAILLES. Dec. l5.-The Germans, at
ter a slight skirmish, occupied Beaumont, a
few miles west Of Evereux, on the lltb.
LONDON, Dec. 16.-The French garrison at
Belfort still makes a gallant defence. The
neichboriug heights arc all being captured by
the Germans, but not without suffering con-
siderable loss. The French losses in these pre-
liminary engagements are comparatively light:
The German position has greatly improved
lately.

possible 10 close his off co on Saturday, accord
Ing to announcement. 1t would thus dissp-
point many citizens Of Alexandria, inasmuch
rs he has numerous orders here which he can
not fill before leaving, if he went as announced.
He has therefore deferred his departure until

py 10 be the medium OF announcing this to the
public. as his ~soiourn in our midst has been
fraught with much good TO the community,
and we feel confident his future stay will be
equally as beneficial. 1t will perhaps be 3 long
