The following dispatch from the Kut-peror Kut-peror reached the Lmpress on Thursday Thurs-day evening: "All goes wonderfully well. Our plans all sujeeed." This obtains some color from the Bouillon telegram already sent, and is uncontradicted uncontra-dicted by the Prussian narrative, which does not reach so late a date.

A sjH'eial correspondent of the New York Tribune telegraphs from Berlin the following official dispatch: Malan Court, near Metz, Sept. 2. From the morning of the 31st of August Au-gust until noon of Sept. 1st, Bazaine with several corps uninteruptedly attempted at-tempted to break from Metz in a northerly north-erly direction.
