recognition of the Kepublic as yet.
Paris, Sept. ft (j P. M. An artuis
. tiee is uudcr consideration, instituted by
the diplomatic corps. . The question has
beeu submitted to the Provisional Gov
i ernment by Russian, Italian and Spanish
; embassadors.
' Eonpon, Sept. 10. King William
has given orders that Napoleou be treated
' as a sovereign of France.
It is denied, that Lord Lyons has gone
. to King William's headquarters.
Paris correspondent of the Yt-s says,
: Euglaud having declined to negotiate for
1 an armistice, Austria undertakes' it.
The tS'tidard'g Paris correspondent
says the Prussians cannot successfully
be.seige the city with their six hundred
thou.-aud men, the causalities of war thus
far aggregating four hundred thousand
: more thau one-half this immense number
cither dead or maimed for life.
Pakis, Sept.- 10. It is certain that
the Ministers of Finance, War and For
eign A flairs will go to Tours at once. It
is believed if communications arc cut.
matters have been so arranged that the
authorities will manage to correspond
: between Tours and Paris.
A letter received from Strassburg says
; the condition of the city is much better
i than supposed. Tlie garrison has plenty
of l:iuni;ioiis, and food for two months'.
P.uus, Sept. 10. Fijnro sas the
Kepublic of France has been officially
recognized by Spain. Heavy raius the

j .Vk-W Vokk, Sept. 11. Paris specials

encamped within twenty miles of Paris,
j to satisfy public opinion of Germany.
! Great indignation is felt at Paris in
: consequence of the icfusal of Earl Gran

Hastings on Thursday She is ill.
liiiKi.MS, Sept. 11.- Official reports
of the battle of Sedan say that forty-five
cannon were taken, and the French lost,
in killed, wounded and pri: oners, 140,000
London, Sept. 11. A popular de
monstration ou a largo scale is being held
here to-day, in favor of the French Ke
public, and against monarchy at home
and abroad. The imbecility of the Brit
ish Government strongly denounced. The
name of the Queen received with a tem
pest of hisses, and a voice in the crowd
proposed three groans for the Prince of
Wales, and the response was universal
aud passionate. j
Lonpox, Sept. 12.-j-Telegrams from
the seat of war here to-day are a perfect
chaos of wild and contradictory state
ments. Paris has begun to refuse private
telegrams. J
The Times says France has been cursed
with military dictatorship.
A stubborn defense of Pans is certain
if the city is beseiged. The idea that
the Prussians will walkj in without diffi
culty is a great mistake.
Oneny, Sept. 12.-Paris advices of
French euccesses at jToul and Mont
Medy, together with reported bait of the
Prussian advance, led to more activity on
the Eourse j
The Prussian, armyj has baited 25
miles from Paria, at the epecial request
:y-- rry-
of Uismarck, to consider the propositions
of Kussia and Austria for an armistice.
Pauls, Sept. 12 The Ministry has
just made public the following important
intelligence : The Prussiaus attacked
Toul Saturday morning at 5 o'clock, and
persisted uutil 9 in the evening. .They
were, however, constantly repulsed, and
many of their batteries dismounted.
More than 10,000 Prussians were placed
(rs dti rondnit at Mont Medy on Thurs
day. The garrison speedily repulsed the
Prussian attack.
The Prussians have surrounded Meaup.
They have arrived in force at Crecy, aud
are approaching Noisy to Grand.
Paris is cheered this morning by the
news that the Prussians arc insisting on
an armistice. Also, that the United
States has interfered, aud sent decided
dispatches to lierlin, in consequence of
! which the 1'russian advance has been
stopped.
HitcssEi.s, Sept. 12. Italy, Austria
and Kussia agree in principal, and have
authorized llussia to ask Prussia for an
armistice. A dispatch to that effect has
been telegraphed to IJcrlin. No answer
as 3'et.
London, Sept. 12. Six French iron
clads were seen off Goodwins to-day.
Their course was southwest.
Berlin, Sept. 12. The official re
port of the capitulation of Sedan states
the number of prisoners taken at 122,
000. London, Sept. 12. The statement
of the GatduLs that England demands an
armistice, is untrue.
Jules Favre is expected here to-night.
If he asks the English Government to
present terms, it will do so, but it will not
if unasked. This intelligence is official.
Berlin, Sept. 12. The King sent a
dispatch to the Queen, dated 10 p. m.
Sunday, saying the citadel at Loan ex
ploded after the surrender, just as the
Prussians were entering. Many were
killed, including 200 Mobile Gardes, and
many were shockingly mutilated. Will
iam of Mecklenburg was wounded. There
must be treason.
London, Sept. 12. Agents have ar
rived here from Berlin, who, it is thought,
arc seeking to place the Prussian loan ou
the market.
j All the bridges around Paris have beeu
blown up.
j Sedan, Sept. 5. The following is the
: speech of Count Von Bismarck to the
i victorious soldiers in the Get man camp,
j immediately after the news of the surrcn
i dcr of the Emperor Napoleon had been
communicated to them. The feeling of
the troops as they surrounded the car
, riage of the Count was one of iudescrib-
ablo joy and gladness :
"I have done nothing to assist in ob
taining the glorious successes: which have
attended the arms of out united soldiery.
Addrces yourselves and your praises to
our noble King William and the able
War Minister, Count Von Moltke, to
whom alone is due the glory of what has
been accomplished by the surrender of
Gen. McMahon and the Emperor of the
French. But wait ! I had forgotten I
had done one thing : I have so acted in
my diplomacy that all the South German
States have severally aided with their
power in men and money. It is to them
and the Brave Bavarians and Wurtem
gers we owe the crowning climacteric of
to-day's result."

The Courier dts Ktats Unit gives the
following account of a French invulner
able cuirass : It is a cloth cuirass ot a
tissue extremely supple and light, the
stitches of which are exceedingly close
and absolutely impenetrable. The pro
cess of making and preparing it is a
mystery, but what appears to be claimed
is that bullets will not penetrate it; they
glance off or fall harmless ! The inven
tor himself is said to have stood tho test
of this. Clothed in a sort of flannel vest,
very light, he recieved the charge of a
run without exneriencino- so much na a
bruise ! This . belongs to the class,
important it true.
I'reucli Stories ot Die ken.

The passion of the French for aensa
tional stories has been illustrated in a re"
markable manner in reference to the late
Charles Dickens, about whom foreign aro
journals full of anecdote. But the French
go ahead of the others. here tkey get
their stories from is a mystery to every
body, for they are unknown to England
Here are a couple of the most popular.
The first is to the effect that overwork
had. made Mr. Dickens so eccentric in his
habits that he turned day into night, aud
was in the habit of walking the streets of
London froin midnight until fire in t he
morning. Ou the occasion of these walks, the
great novelist observed a lady of respec
table appearance following him. Night
after night she followed him, and if the
novelist approached her she hastened
away, startled and confused. At last
they met face to face, and the lady de
clared, in great agitation, 'Charles Dick
ens, you have done me an injury, I eaa
no more rest. Look at me, so that you
may remember me for I desire to be re
mcmbercd. You will sec me no more
"Mr. Dickens soon afterward ascer
tained that she was the wife of a colonel
in the Indian army. In a few days same
a caske.t ot ebony and ivory to the novel
ist, containing a portrait of the lady, a
lock of hair, and this note: 'I have
loved you madly, but that love I have
given j'ou I owe to another.
"I am of my own free will going to an
other world, where I may think of you
without treachery. 'Pity me.' It was
sigued "The lady of the other night.'
Mr. Dickens flew to the house, to find.,
that she was dead with a dagger in her
heart. Another ot these stories is of a
female of more aggressive character
This woman lead a scandalous life, but
presumed to fall in love with the novel
ist, and to write him ardent letters, tr
which he sent no reply. The woman de
termined on revenge, and tried to stab
the novelist as he was coming out of the
theatre. But such was the humanity of
Charles Dickens, that hia only desire was
to save the uul'ortunate woman from the
legal consequences of her iufatuation.
He snatched her from the witnesses of
her attempted crime, thrust her into tho
carriage, put his coachman in with her to
keep her quiet, and himself ascended
the box, took the whip and drove away."
