EUROPEAN AFFAIRS. -Thc Germans have
occupied the Department of :DoubS, on the
Swiss frontier, and between the Rhine and
Saone rivers, driving the French out Of the
towns Garibaldi has retreated from Dole,
and has gone to Chagny. At Chagpy there
are other French forces, and it is expected that
when the two armies are united they will coz
test the further advance OF the Germans to-
wards Lyons. On Thursday last battle took
place between the French gunboat Bouyct and
the Prussian gunboat Meteor, off Havana
The Bouvet was damaged, after which she re-
retreated into neutral waters. The Meteor was
unable to follow and continue the fight on &C
count of her screw becoming entangled with
the fallen rigging Of tho Bouvct. The result
was considered victory for the German ship,
and caused much rejoicing among the Ger
mans in Havana. British residents in Paris who
haze recently escaped from the city confirm
the previous reports that the stock OF proVl-
sions is becoming very short. Further rartl-
euIars Of the battle al Orleans represent that
the French captured large quantities OF provl-
sions AMI forage. Russia has issued an order
dismissing portion of the army, and 1T Is SAID
that much uneasiness has been created In dl
plonatic circles, it being feared that tho Gov-
ernment is about to make declaration renloV-
ing the obligations of the treaty of Paris.

pleutecus, but the laborers are few: The negro

the crops, has been imbued by designing white
