New York, Oct, 27.-There is a start
ling rumor in town, attributed to private
dispatches received here from London, to
the effect that Bazaine has surrendered on
IN understanding with King William that
the Prussian armies shall be withdrawn
from Paris to Alsace and Lorraine, where
it is expected they will form a strong de-
fensive line, and bid defiance tothe French
Republic. Nothing is to be gained by
the capture of Paris, after. a long and ex-
hausting siege, So long as the conquest Of
Of Alsace and Lorraine is moi, actually ac-
eomplished- The remaining strongholds
in those provinces in possession Of the
French can easily be reduced by the con-
centrationsof the whole German strength
there. Bismarck believes that a good
political move can be made by leaving the
contentious Of the parties Of the present
Goyernment-the Reds, the Imperialists
and Orleanists. Bazaine is supposed to be
in league with the Emperor, and upon the
conclusion of a treaty with King William,
will attempt to use his released army TO
restore the empire, either in the person of
Napoleon Ill on his son. f-aI - IT,.

Especial Dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette
New YoRk, Nov. 2.-There are indica-
tlons through private letters and kilograms
that there are many d~issensions in the
French Government, and unless the Prus-
SLAMS have a great reverse before long, the
Government at Tours will be dissolved.
The lmperialists are more hopeful OF. a
restoration of the Bonapartists than they
have been at any. time since Sedan was
captured, and some Of then, believe the
regency will be restored before New
Years. Many Frenchmen, who were
favorable to the Republic, are losing filth,
and think it may be desirable to have Ma,
.poleon sign q treaty Of peace, and then
trust to the future, and let France choose
her Government after the pressure of war
is removed.
