| special to the Tribune:
London, dug. Our special correspondent,
| writing from the Prussian headquarters at
Mayence on Saturday morning, ys:-News
| OF the Prussian victory overy Mcmahon has
just been made known. The fight was very
bloody and was great loss on the Prussian
| side as well as the French. The Bavarian
troops behaved magulficently, and many
Turcos were taken. Bismarck, before leaving
| Berlin, was asked whether, if successful, Ger
many ought not to insist on Napoleon's abdica-
ton, he piled, "No; Germany can only fight
for German objects and not for French"
La Liberte reports that the Empress says
the last news from headquarters is reassuring.
Immediate danger is passed, and all the dispo-
sitons made are good. We would give more
| news, adds the La Liberte, but that we might
inform the enemy Figaro asserts that TWEEN
| ty-one divisions of French infantry and six
cavalry have not yet been engaged, making
$4,000 men all together.

last night. that Marshal paraguay D'Villar's
proclamation against forming in groups in the
streets, is nearly dead letter
There is always, day and night, large assem-
bies about the Ministry of Interior, waitir g
for news and there are considerable groups
| about all places where newspapers are sod,
| who are reading news aloud, and commenting
| on it. The reason which missed finding out
last night why the Cafes were shut on Boule-
varde at II o'clock, was that crowds of people
clamoring for arms, had been charged by the
curiassers and scrgeants de vile, and great
many arrested.

ders to watch their movements. Sire is in M
danger of being caught. The French corvette
, near Bonholm attempted to chase her but gave
| it up after half hour. An attack on Rlel Oh
, Dantzic is considered here as hopeless at
tempt, but suspicion is still directed towards
