PARIS, Sept. 1S.-President MacMahon's

only resorted to fresh appeal to the country
when this double blessing appeared to him to
the question of form of government is beyond
discussion. The marshal will cause the consti-
tuition to be respected. Elections adverse to
his policy would mean aggravated conflict and
agitation prejudicial to all interests, while
election favorable to that policy would signify
powers The manifesto concludes with an ap-
peal to the country to place its confidence in
the marshal president.
The Times correspondent is assured that the
manifesto of McMahon contains the following
sentence: 81 cannot obey the injunction of
aemagogues shall remain and defend with

mutilated bodies of eight men, five of whom
were Norwegians from the Black Hills. The
pursuit has been resumed. Gen Sturgis is in

Yellowstone, and charging them, drove them
eight miles, capturing 400 ponies The In
dams kept up running fight with some eff

The enemy's loss is not known. Sturgis is

ter. All accounts state that the Ned Perces
now on the war path are anxious to join Sit
ting Bull, and all their energies are now bent
on accomplishing that end.

The Imperial Guard on Their Way to

BUCHAREST, Sept. 10.-The first detachment
of the Russian Imperial Guard passed through
here this morning on their way to the seat of
war. Gen. Gourko accompanied them. The
men presented splendid appearance, but have
seen little service. Other regiments are taking
the parallel roads outside of Bucharest all
converging on Simnitza.
The Agence-Russea commenting upon the
arrival of the guard and the order to the Rus

circulated by certain journals.

LONDON, Sept 1S.-The Globes Pera des-

this morning, inhicting an enormous loss. The
defilo is now entirely in possession of the
Turks.
A later despatch from Constantinople says
the Russians in Shipka Pass have been REIN
forced. Gen. Radetzky's official account of the
fighting does not admit that the fort was ever
occupied by the. Turks. He says: "After five
days bombafdment the Turks at 8 o'clock in
the morning made a sudden attack on the
fort. The attack subsequently, extended along
the whole line and was repulsed with euor-

which lasted nine hours. The Russian loss
was 10 officers and 400 men wounded and 100

is dated at the Russian headquarters, Gorny-
Studen, Monday, Grand Duke Nicholas having
returned to that place from before Plevna.

patch is published here which denies the cor

reasons after having occupied the fort for six
