The Tribune correspondent telegraphs
from before StrasbOurg, September oath
"The assault is now fixed week hence.
1t has been delayed hitherto to construct
good passages across the great ditch in
front of the main wall. The town will
be attacked at four points simultaneously.
Lots are being already drawn to decide
which regiments will compose the body
of attack, and which companies win form
the assaulting army. Assiduous searches
are made for mines. Two were found and
emptied. After lunettes 50 and SO were
captured no further egress from the town
is permitted. The last batch Of refugees
comprised 800 persons. A few wealthy
citizens still remain inside. Many refu-
gees went TO Baden, the government con-
yeying them there free.
A correspondent of the Tribune writes
from Hamburg on the oath: Ships may

the torpedos in the channel are sunk too
deep for merchant vessels, many of them

vicious circle of incapacity, waste and
routine, and Whatever Is TO be done has 70
be done quickly, for England is living on
the suffrance Of other natione.

English into remorse for not forcing the

Marion will Fight England as He has the

WAsHINeToN, September Gan OFF,
Ger at the War Department yesterday re-
cetved an interesting letter from Cairo.
An American officer now in the service of
the Khedive, who was formerly an officer
| in the American army, writes very en-
| ooursgingly of the future prospect of that
| country. The Khedive is expending vast
sums of money in reclaiming the desert
land by introducing water from the Nile
| by means of inlets and canals. he is also
building railroads and making other vast
internal improvements. The writer states
that American officers are treated with
the greatest consideration, and that by
their energy the army will soon be
brought to 8 complete organization in
artillery, infantry and cavalry, and the
best of discipline prevails. He says that
1t is the country for officers leaving our
army to emigrate to. The writer further
states that the only drawback is the man
ner in which the women are treated. The
Americans have repeatedly urged upon
the Khediye the necessity of reform in
thiD particular. They have argued that
the only thing now wanting was the
proper influences of women, their intro
duction at court and in society, their thor
ough education, and the abolition of
haren1s. To this the Khedive and officers
of the Government object, and answer
that when barriers that now surround the
women of their country are broken down,
the next thing that will ensue will be
that they will want the right to vote and
hold office, aud that free-love Institutions
will be at once established, as they prevail
in England and America.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., September a.
The status of the Alabama claims CORE
spondence has received little vitality for
so old question by the outgivings of the
friends of the administration. A new
andvigorous policy in that particular is
to be inaugurated by Minister Morton.
Inquiry in proper quarters shows that
Motley has at intervals continued the cor
irespondence during the summer, and has
given it tenor more in accordance with
the views contained in Senator Summers
speech in the Senate on the subject, than
in the line with which it was conducted
last year. Whether that has had anything
to do with his removals. yet to be devel-
oped. The claimants who suffered from
depredations by the Alabama and Shen-
andoah, have been pressing the Govern
ment lately to push the correspondence to
some conclusion, but it is no nearer So
luton than ii was Immediately succeed
ing the rejection of the Clsrendon-Johnson
protocol. Indeed, propositions made last
spring to conduct negotiations in future
at Washington, have not been positively
decided on. Minister Morton's commits
sion has been made out, and his instruc-
tions will probably follow it some time
next month"; cam

WASHINGTON, September 26.-No COM
plete census returns from the larger cities
have been received. Returns from the
isouth come in slowly. $50
No attention is paid by the Government
to the alleged repeal of the law creating
the Department of the Interior. 1t is
said to have been in the Patent Office act,
enacting various appropriations for that
department by Congress, which shows
that the Legislation alluded to was unin-
tentional.
There is reason TO believe that the in
structions TO the new Minister to England
asI regards the Alabama claims win not
differ from those given to Motley, and
will conform to the views expressed in
Secretary Fish's disratch of September
49, 1859. 1t is still the desire of the Presi-
dent that whsn negotiations are resumed
they be conducted IN Washington.

BERLIN. September ga report is cur.
rent in this city in well-inforned circles
that the Emperor has revoked the decree
which he issued ON the surrender ofSedan
for the revocation of the decree creating q
Regency. As Emperor he has, therefore.
sent an envoy to Metz to consult with
Marshal Bazaine in regard to terms OF
peace. This confirms the statement made
by Bazsihe that he should only trest with
the Emperor in reference to peace nego-
tiations. News of this attitude of Napo-
leon has been suppressed in Berlin as far
as possible. There is the greatest anxiety
in political circles, inssmuch as there is a
strong and influential party here who are
opposed to the continuance of the war.
