attack was so violent that at first a divi?
sion was compelled to charge their front.
Boon the Prussians contle a feint from
the right bn.uk of the Saar, followed at

aud a retreat upon Saveruo aud Nuider
brun became a necessity.
Tho Saturday Review refrains from
speculations on the war, because, it says,

000 florins.
Tho Times says: "In a fortuight thc
Emperor has moro perfectly undermined
his throne than his enemies in a score of
Eears. lie-assured by the plebiscite, ho

and his dynasty."
Thc Shipping Gazette states that, in thc

ment of commercial bills to forty-live
days. Gambella demanded i inmediato ?
action on Jules Favro's proposal, rcsolv-1
iug tho Corps L?gislatif iuto a commit?
tee of defence. Gambella declared there
must bo no trickery on tho subject; thc
Chamber must decide between the safety
of thc Stale and the safety of dynasty.
This caused great agit.vinni and a noisy
interruption, when the people were ex
eluded, and after stirring debate, the j
body adjourned.
Last evening, at 8 o'clock, by order of
Government, all telegraphing through- i
out the French Empire was suspended. .
This morning, at *.i o'clock, these re?
strictions were again removed. Tho
following important despatch to the
Empress Eugenie has just been made
public:
LON? PILE, August l-l-10P. M.-The
anny coin mon ced to cross to the left
bani: of the Mozelle, this morning. Our
advance guard had no knowledge of the
preseuce of any force of the enemy, aud
when half of our anny had crossed over,
tho Prussians suddenly attacked them in
great force, but after a light of four
hours, they were repulsed, with great loss
to them. (Signed) NAPOLEON.
BERLIN, August M.-Tue Queen of
Prussia, to-day, received tho following
despatch, dated in tlie vicinity of Metz:
SUNDAY EVENING, August 15.-A vic?
torious combat occurred near Metz, to?
day-the troops of the first and seventh
corps participating. I hasten to the
scene of conflict. (Signed)
WILLIAM.
PARIS, August 14.-Tho Journal Offi
ciel contains the following intelligence*
which it is authorized to give to the
public:
At thc begiuuiug of the war with Prus?
sia, the Emperor received au address
from tho principal native chieftains of
Algeria, who asked that they might bo
permitted to march aud fight by the
sido of our troops, and open subscrip?
tions for sufferers by tho war.
Tho Empress Regent has commuted
and reduced tho sentences of 1,6-41 con?
victs, now coufiued ?D France aud be?
yond tho sen. Imperial clemency is ap?
plied especially in cases of nuiform good
conduct given the prisoner as a claim to
indulgence.
One of tho publie journals still pre?
sumed to doubt that real work is going
on for tho armamont aud defence of
Paris. Although it may bo an act of
treason to speak thus ia tho face of the
enemy, such insinuations impose the
necessity of a reply, notwithstanding thc
danger of doing so. All tho material
necessary for the armament of Paris, is
in Paris. More than GOO cannons are
already mounted on tho walls and those
forts which are likely to be tho first
threatened, aud tho work of placing
other pieces in position continues with?
out interruption, day aud night, yes?
terday 7,500 workingmen were engaged
in cutting off the streets leading into
Paris, This work has been completed,
and nothing remains but to close the
openiugs in the walis aud placo draw?
bridges in position. Thousands of la?
borers arc occupied on the outside ol
the walls on tho earthworks, mines,
ditches, etc., which are to connect ami
complete tho net work of fortificutiom
around the Capital. These facts and
figures wc arc obliged to give iu order te
reply to tho perfidious insinuations and
to restore thc coulideuce of our good
citizens. If such questions should bc
reuewed, their authors would have tc
answer for their coudnct before a council
of war, aud be subject to all the couse
quencos of law, for thcro aro hours no?
more than over when justice cannot bi
permitted to speak. Public opinion ii:
Europe does justice to the heroic cou
rage of our soldiers, and the euegy will:
which tho whole nation rises as ono man,
prepared to repair the unexpected rc
verses our enemies couuted ou, by part]
divisions which would have been treu
son to tho national cause. The patriot
ism of tho Chambers and the country
has disappointed their calculations.
In the Corps L?gislatif, tho Right am
Left rival each other in eagerness tc
push to tho last limit of vigor and spirit
their devotion to France. Tho new Mi
uistry finds it has the actual and tin
loyal co-operation of tho country. Th?
representative session of the 10th of Au
gust will tlirstinguish that day as nmoiif
thc most noble in our parliamentary an
nals. Never has the nation acted nude
inspiration of scntimeut more elevated
The attitude of the Chambers is botl
encouragement aud a recompense for tb
troops, aud thc soldiers feel that tin
whole nation is behiud them, and tba
tho hour approaches when the ouem;
will be chased from the land. A rovie s
of the diplomatic situation shows ho\
efficacious have boeu thc efforts made t
place on a good footing our actions witl
foreign powers on every point willoi
touches tho present crisis.
At thc beginning of the contest, Rh
marok sought to accomplish tho follow
iug objects: 1st. To awaken against u
the susceptibilities of ?uglaud on th
Belgian question ; 2d, to cornent thc all
ance between Prussia and Russia; 3d, t
embroil us with Spain, through the Ile
heuzollern affair, and -1th, to aliouato n
from Italy on tho 1 ionian question. Th;
cutir? combination has failed. Ruglan
has been fully assured by our deolan
tiona of sincerity, and has just signe
with us a treaty which is as valuable t
us as it is to Belgium, aud renders seem
tboXorthern frontier.

however, a believer in the idea that a
mau once elected to office Las tho owner?
ship of the office. All have a right to
aspire, and merit alone should decide the
(piestiou of choice. Seeing with r ogre I
tho discussions which have arisen in
some parts of the State, and feeling anx?
ious for the most complete triumph of
the Republican party- iu October next, I
am willing to sacrifice, if needs be, per?
sonal advancement for party unity; and
as there are some who wish to bestow
their compliments upon another, and the
question as to my admission, if elected,
to the next Congress-though thero is no
doubt in my mind-I might confuse nig?
hest anil truest friends or comfort and
I aid my weakest enemies. I am, there?
fore, induced to withdraw my name from
tho candidacy for the Forty-second Con?
gress.
