InsubOrdinatiOn of French Recruits
No Advance ON LyOns-Immense
Prussian Losses.
LONDON, Sept. S0.--A telegram just re-
ceived from Tours contains the following
news:
There is considerable characterization in
the French army. The officers are ap-
psrently unable to prevent disorder and
violence among the raw and undisciplined
soldiers. Severe examples have been
made. 80
The Prussians have not yet arrived at
Orleans. They have desisted from their
westward march and seem to be concen-
trating around Paris. The reported move
ment of the Prussians on Lyons is also
untrue. The French say the Prussian
losses since the war began, and particu-
larry at the investment of Paris, have
been so immense that the German authori-
ties have taken care to conceal the facts
from the newspapers. 4 D.
The Times correspondent, writing from
Luxembourg, says that Meziers is very
strong, but it was not thought it could
hold out. The French prisoners of war
have been set at work constructing canals
in Hanover.
An Internal Machine.
Later advices from Paris announce that
the construction of barricades is vigorous
ly pushed under the supervision of Henri
Rochefort and Gustave Fleurens. The
Mobiles have been armed with new and
dreadfully destructive engine-an inven-
ton which has just been made and is
kept profound secret. Greater results
are expected from this weapon than from
the famous mitralleur.
At Tours the firemen are being enrolled.
Large numbers of breech leaders have
been distributed to such of the Gardes
National as bad inferior arms. 3d..

aud Disc.
The Course of the British Cabinet
| LONDON, Sept. 30.-Special to sth'
Times.-The course of the cabinet is IN
dictated by leader in the Times thi
morning. 1t cannot, says the Times re
dOund to our glory TO express an opinion
without an intention of enforcing it. L
cannot, in the judgment of any person
rebound to our glory to abstain from ex
pressing an opinion when demanded o
us. because we find ourselves suffering
from powerful neighbor. .
Bruce's speech at Greenock abou
Alsac and Lorraine, is highly significant.
