"il Tf i LllIK, 6' Ca'.MU from London, IT, says: Our sp.-cial conesponileiit wrir"s iioui Berlin, Sunday Sun-day : The attempt to raise the national loan of a hundred and twenty millions has broken down. Yesteiday the subscriptions sub-scriptions reached li.ty millions. But the loan did not pretend to offer a chance fur favorable investment. It wa9 issued as a five per cent, loan, at the fixed pr ce of eighty-eight. 'J he remaining severity millions were taken by the Zeiliaiidting compair , which is part of the P.ussian i xchequer. Our special from Chalons writes on Sunday, that ten thousand wounded were being brought into camp. The town and camp present a scene i f riot, disorder and dissipation. If another battle is lo-t it will bo a mas.-acre. Reports of the disturbance in Paris hav? unsettled the earde mobile, half of whom would break away and return to a revolution. The regular army is still true to the Emperor, but nobody elfe. Ckalons is not a defensible position po-sition against superior forces, being simply an eminence on a plain. The same correspondent writes, on Monday: The Pont a Mous.-on affair was serious. Six or seven trains were started from Chalons to Meti in rapid succession, carrying about seven thousand thous-and soldiers, comprising three infantry regiments and Borne artillery. Near Pont a Mounon they found the railway cut, and the Pru.-sian artillery opcm d the trains which moved back as rapidly as posyible ; but a panic began, and though only two men were Liilcd many jumped fioiu the train while moving rapidly. T' i trains were finally got awav w' ot . much loss. Di.-p: ..'hes received to-day at the Prus a: embtssy in London confirm the Prussian suecestson Sunday, but throw no light on subsequent events.
