OF Berlin held an audience to-day with

cent victories. The Queen earnestly ex-
pressed herself rs desiring peace, but

THE NEUTRALITY OF BELeIUA Ex-
PLANNED.
LONDON, August A.-The ChGTtioH, q
Belgium journal, explains that Prussians
near the frontier were fired upon by some
Belgium troops mistakinR them for
French soldiers. II also states that the
Prussisn detachment was undoubtedly
unaware that they were on Belgium soil,
but that they left on resolving warning.
Letters from Paris represent the bu-
reaus crazy, and that red tape interferes
sadly with every arm Of the French SER
vice.
The loss of the Saxon troops in the bat
tie of the 18th was seventy-four killed and
nearly two Thousand wounded.
MARcKis DEMANDS. .N
LONDON, August 24.-The HerdEd'S dis
patch Gays that at the session OF the Corps
Lsgislatif, the Minister Of the Navy wss
as reticent as the rest of the government
officers. He intimated, however, that
good news might shortly be expected
from the feet.
A special Paris dispatch says that at the
Foreign Office everything remains quiet.
There have been several informal confer
ences amongst the different diplomatic
agents, but there was no mention of any
peace overtures, such as the English pa
pers report. All that is known here Is
that Bismarck has indirectly sent infor-
nation to La Tour de Ia Auvergne that
Prussia would only concede peace upon q
basis which will make II impossible for
France to think of future revenge.
THE LIBERAL PARTY OF PRUSSIA TROUBLE
SOME.
LONDON, August 24.-A special dispatch
from Berlin says that g great popular
movement is on foot to secure for the
Liberal party an influential voice in the
settlement Of the terms for peace; also, to
convene the German Parliament to give
expression TO the sentiment of the Ger
man people to whose energy everything
is due.
THE PARIS CoNsTTTUTIoNNEL ANSWERS
THE LONDON TIMBs.
PARIS, August q = The Cosstitl-
tion4teL anwering the assertions Of
the London Times that the French are
in desperate condition, shows that that
journal arrives at its conclusions without
waiting for complete or authentic re-
ports OF recent events, and deties it to de-
eide who has now the best military posi-
ton Bazaine or King William. 1t adds
that the hostility of the Times is account
ed for by the fact that the son OF one OF
its proprietors married the daughter OF
the Prussian Am mbassadOr at London, and
some persons say that in addition TO
this the journal has been heavily sub
sided BY Bismarck. The Oosstitltioapel
semi-oficially says: Without entering
into details, we may affirm that work on
Notifications of the capital is progressing
with wonderful rapidity, and the elan OF
the popuiace is immense. Prussian
papers represent Paris not the Paris oi
i792 to is 5. They will discover their
mistake-the capital proves now as ever
that she is the heart of France. She Is
ready to receive the enemy.
