There is really Il chance for peace from
the negotiations now going ON between
Bismarck and Favre. Nj. Motley tel +
caraphs from London that Prussia has
no idea Of reinstating Napoleon, and
does not refuse 10 treat with the provis- |
iuual government because it is republi
can, but because it is Unauthorized,
unstable and incapable Of giving lasting
guarantees.
There seem to have been two distinct
{ ugcmentS near .Juvisy. Inc Prus-
-i:uls on the south Of Paris advancing
simultaneously by the course Of the canal
and the valley oi the Seine 10 seize Inc
chain Of hills from Cour-dC-France above
Juyl,y. 10 Athis-Mons, Albion and Vii
| iyueuve De RUi, were at first repulscd
near Ju,i-y, on Friday and Saturday
| On Sunday they advanced agIln, and
north OF .JuS:-y they pushed on TIN ough
! Abiuu and NiiltucuVe-l,-lsoI to ChuI>y-
t,-Rli and Nitry, where they were met
by q French fore consisting of three
regiments OF The line, and ten battaliCns
uI The garlr mobile, which drew them
under tie fire ot the fort of lvry. The
run OF the fort did much execution, and
thc French fought well. l he Pru>sian>
were Obliged to retreat through ChoiSy-
lc-k0i and NIlleneuve The loss on
either side i: MT known, but it must
nave been considerable, as the fighting
was severe for several hours. 1t would
seem, however. that the success OF the
French un the south OF PARIS w;Is bat
temporary, and that the Germans now
hold positions very near iurts Charcnton
ana ivry, which the French held at tie
beginniug OF the conflict on Sunday.
There is no doubt that letters have
been received from Bazaine by special
balloon post; some have fallen INTO the
hands OF the Germans, and some anon
the French One balloon l. -aid to
have contained $4,000 letters, which al
i quarter If an ounce apiece must have
weighed nearly 800 pounds. In all the
lcjtv:- it is declared that the French
troops about Mclz are we'll, and have
plenty oil provisions; also that they have
succeeded in AL th,ir battles up to Aug
