World.l-A special telegram to the World from
Tours dated to-day has been received here as fol-
lows: The main body of the army of the Loire
yesterday occupied position extending along the
line of Chateaudun road to st. PeTavy, Patay and
Chevilly. The total loss of the Germans in the
actions of the 7th, 9th and 10th before Orleans, in

that King William omitted to mention sProvi-
dence' in his dispatch announcing Won der Tann's
brilliant advance TO Toury.
The mission of Odo Russell, Under Secretary of
Foreign Affairs to Versailles, is undertaken not by
order of the Foreign Office, but in consequence of
sion is to ascertain the views of Bismarck in rela-
ton to the threatening note from Russia
the obligations of the treaty OF 1856. Russell, it is
understood, is instructed to inform Bismarck that
England, Austria and Italy will unite to resist vo-
latfon of the treaty by Russia.
General Burnside is still in London. The terms
which Bismarck authorized him to propose to the
government in Paris are the same as those which
Thers submitted to Favre and Trochu.
The article on Germany, France and England,
in the Edinburgh Review, ascribed to Gladstone,
was inspired but not written by him.
Unauthenticated dispatches from Blos and Tours
contain confused accounts of another victory OBJ
tanned by Aurelles over General Won der Tam,
Artenay. These dispatches state that Tam,
being strengthened by reintorcements, had ad-
leading via Chevilly and Orleans; but he was at
tackled on the right flank with great impetuousity
by Agrelles' near Artenay. The -. engagement re;
the capture OF large number OF prisoners and
twenty-six guns.

leved there is imminent danger OF general Eu-
ropean conflict. The Pail Mall Gazette tonight
declares that the Ministers not merely want true
vision, but are occupied, to the exclusion of the
truth, Win misleading uTeaLns Two dangers con-
front England-the Alabama difficulty and the
Eastern question. The circumstance that lifted
the latter to great and immediate Importance made
the former more formidable, because of the in
creasing probability of there being a combination.
Russia declares her designs TO grasp Turkey, and
Prussia is ready to connive and even TO aid her.
England, the only power to whom Turkey can look,
is threatened with annhaton If she lifts her
finger.

of Aurelles, mentioned in the dispatch this
morning are to Chartres one flank and Pithi-

LONDON, Nov. H-The Times publishes Theirs
report on his armistice mission. He says he deems
he owes to the great Powers, who desired an armis
tice should be concluded, succinct account of the
grave negotiations which he consented TO under
take. He mentions the desolation or the coun'
try through which he passed going from Orleans
TO Versailles, at which latter place he stopped bu
one moment.
He proceeded forthwith to Paris, stopping at the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs TO confer with the
government; passed the night In deliberation, anC
