THURSDAYS NEWS.

A despatch from London of yesterday con-
firms the account of the capture of Saarbucken
by the French. There is some contradiction
in the several accounts received to the affair,
but there seems to be no doubt about the main
fact, viz: the capture of the place.
Fuller French accounts have been received
ofthe attack upon Saarbucken, with telegram
from the Emperor. They different as
possible, it will be seen, from the Prussian
statements. It-was evidently small affair at
most, yet Metz was Illuminated and the En-
press made thanksgiving in the chapel of
Notre Dame dc Tictoric.
The French exploit at Saarbrucken is re-
gardcd in Amsterdam as coup dc theatre and
not military success.
The Prussian account of the affair at Saar-
bucken is that a small detachment of their
troops stationed at the point was attacked by
three divisions of French, and that the Prus-
slams fell back on their supports after sharp
action, with trifling loss.
There is much feeling manifested in Eng
land on account of what is called Mr.. Glad
stonss economical, sentimental shrinking
from war policy, and strong pressure is be-
ing made upon him to adopt more prompt and
decided measures.
1t is now said the Prussian army is ready
to take the offensive and to carry the war into
France. The King made an eloquent and
stirring proclamation to the army on assuming
the command.
At very early hour this morning des-
patch from London reports that fighting had
been kept up all along the frontier since Mon
day last. The French are said to have been
driven out of Weissenburg on Saturday. The
successful attack upon Saarbrucken was made
by the French with the Second Corps, which
afterwards fell back. The loss was light on
both sides. Apother forward movement will
be attempted Immediately.
Further and very late dispatches make still
larger claims for the victory at Saarbrucken.
Three thousand Prussian prisoners are said to
have been taken.

SATURDAYS NEWS.


An unofficial report from Paris is to the
effect that Saar Louis has been taken by the
French after great battle.

detail, but does not differ materially from the
reports heretofore received. General Douay

Five hundred of the French prisoners taken
at Weissenburg have arrived at Frankfort.-
Eight hundred was the total number captured,
among them eighteen officers.
The report that Saarlouis has been taken
turns out to be false. There has been no
fighting there.
The Prussian account of the battle at
Weissenburg describes it as brilliant, but
bloody victory, in which division of French
troops was splendidly defeated. The losses
are spoken of as being heavy, but no details
are given.
Further particulars are given of the fight
at Saarbruck The reported French force is
stated at 5000; that of the Prussiaus 5000.
A German three masted schooner has been
captured by French cruiser, and taken into

Rg There are distinct signs that the Rad

feats in the Congressional elections this fall.
In the first place an unprecedented demand
for money has been made upon the employees

no happier season since he left here for Cali
fornia. The subject of his lecture was 'The
Sunset Land, and Mr.. Stones friends found
that he had lost none of the old time eloquence
during his sojourn in the land Of gold. The
lecture was repeated on Monday evening last,
for the benefit of the Consumptives' Home.
And now will close my letter, by relating
an incident of the Princes tarry here. A
little fellow-so the story goes-the nephew
of DR. came home full of the Prince. His
uncle told him to go up to the ST, James, and
tell the Royal guest that his aunt would like
him to come down to tea. After telling him
this he thought no more about it. But after
a time, the boy came in in high glee, saying
the Prince was real nice. Upon investiga-
ton, it was ascertained that he did go to hotel,
where he was at last permitted to enter the
apartment of his Lordship, and there had
long conversation with him-the longest it is
stated of any one in Massachusetts,. The
DIR. asked his nephew if the Prince was
coming to tea? "No", he said, "but the Prince
was real sorry that he had not time; lie
must attend the funeral" The Advertiser
thinks that boy will make his way in the world.
