A private pri-vate letter from Paris, of the lSth, says all is going on comfortably at present ; no starvation nor bombardment.. bombard-ment.. The city is perfectly tranquil. The mobiles are gradually becoming soldiers, but are by no means soldiers yet. Bmarc-k seems disposed to allow the American legatiou to send and receive re-ceive a weekly bag through tbe Prus-.-ian lines, but absolutely refuses to allow a mejsenger. I look upon Paris as impregnable to aosaults until one or more of the forts are taken. No great danger is anticipated from tbe bombardment. bom-bardment. Famine is all we have to fear, and that is supposed wilj begin to pinch cruelly towards December. A Berlin letter, dated the 24th, says the upperut feeling in Beilin at present is au intense longing for peace, especially among the lower classes, whose desire is emphasised more strongly day after day. They feel the inclemency of the season, and picture to themselves the sufferings of their friends in the field. Their last penny-has penny-has been invested in woolen under clothing and socks, to be sent oft' to tbe army. They loudly clamor for a termination ter-mination of the war. A single battalion bat-talion of the landwelir, under (ien-'ral Rumrperi at .MeU, in repelling Ba zaine's sortie on the 7th, lost over four hundred fathers of f imilies, leaving as many bereaved widows and orphans. Tn the suburbs of Berlin the shops )f the smaller merchants are closed, so are thoe of tho small butchers and bakers and artisans, who are all gone to the front, o it is written on pi a cards on the doors of shops and lodgings. lodg-ings. These and other evidences of distress have aroused tho feeling of the people in favor of immediate peace. Lhssatisfaetion prevails in political po-litical circles in the city. Secrecy is observed by the government relative to tho negotiations for the entrance of the Southern States into the (erman Confederation. Con-federation. The only information to be vouchsafed comes from A ersailles, and represents Bavaria and Wurtem-burg Wurtem-burg eager to rush heedless into the arms of the Confederation, while it is well known that the liberals of Munich, Stuttjjart and other places openly demand de-mand a German parliament and a new revised eoustitu.ion. The position ol tbe PrussUu leaders is by no meaHs the same now as at the opening of the war, when everybody approved the siluation, and was willing to make any sacrifice in behalf of ihe country. N ow they are tired of war, fcatisiied with the victories, and unwilling la go further for the purposes of ambition and aggrandizement. ag-grandizement. The World's special, Ljndun. Oct. 20. Great annoyance aud uneasiness arc caused in the minds of tbe Kng-lish Kng-lish ministry by the euaided but absolute abso-lute rei'u l or Mussia to take any part in the recent English attempt at neiro j tiating a peace.

The besiegers have not yet replied w th a single can-' can-' non. Notice is made of tbe fact that they do not intend to commence until they have Irought enough of heavy guns into position to b .mhird effectually. effec-tually. A number of guns have bien brought up by slow and pami'ul process, pro-cess, havim: been drugged over the common roads. Guns of a larger calibre cali-bre cannot be moved in that way, but must w:dt until the obstructions of the tunnel of Nanteriel have been cleared, and the br.dge over the Marne at Laguy has been rebuilt. The latter work is nearly completed but the for mer is not. When the guns are brought np no one here has the slightest slight-est doubt of the result Still the men are getting impatient of delay. 'there are various reports of the strength of the army at Lyons. It is believed here it does not amount to any importance and can be readily disposed dis-posed of; but tbe Germans are beginning begin-ning to fill into the jrievious error er-ror of despising aud underrating their enemy. L mdon, 27. Prince Napoleon is in this city and has written a long communication com-munication to the London journals, contradicting the charge recently made by the JWtf, impugning his loyalty to the Emperor aud Empress. He denies de-nies having seen either Bourbaki or Buyer, who came to England on a mission from Ba2aine to the Empiess. He says he repeated personally to the Empress the expression of his devotion devo-tion anrt fidelity. The Pru-sians invi sting Verdun recently re-cently sent a commuuicatiou to the Mayor of that town, demanding its surrender. The Mayor indignantly refused, re-fused, inviting the Prussians, if they thought the town would become an easy prey, to come forward and take-it. take-it. ' The military situation on the Loire is unchanged. The news from Metz is interesting aud important. Hutu rs have be'-n current in the Prussian army investing that city, that Bazaine was dead, but they are now proven false. The activity activ-ity of the garrison is greatly ijcreased lately, and the Prussians have been compelled to destroy the bridge at Aub sur Moselle, as a precautionary measure. meas-ure. The French make vigorous sor ties whenever they see the slightest opportunity for advantage; and have also reopened artillery on the besiegers from the right bauk of the Moselle, whereby the villages of Grigny and Coincy, which gave the Prussians shelter, have been utterly destroyed. Shields, England, 27. It is reported here, on the best authority, that two German ships recently captured by the French in the English Channel, have been burned about 100 miles east of Newcastle on Tyne. Lille, Oct. 24, cms Tour, 27. St. Quentiu has been evacuated. Amiens is not yet attacked. The Prussians retreated suddenly w thout commencing com-mencing hostilities, and are now con-ceutrai'ng con-ceutrai'ng near Laon. Tne siege of Laferte is also abandoned. A large portiou of the army of the Duke of Mecklenburg Schwerein is moviun hastily towards Paris.

He was sent to May-enee. May-enee. There is no doubt the FreDch provisional government will soon be obligcd to leave Tours. Arrangements are now making for transferring the national headquarters to Clermont. The Prussians persevere in their starvation policy at Paris and Metz. All fugitives from those cities are turned back. London, 27. The stern of the Cam-brpi Cam-brpi has drifted ashore at Islay, Scot-laud. Scot-laud. So far as known there is but one survivor, McGartland. It is reported tha England, Prussia and Italy have acquiesced in the candidacy can-didacy of Aosa for the Spanish crown. Tours, 27. Thus f;i,r no. .safe-conduct has been forwarded from the Prussian headquarters for M. Thiers. 1'his proceeds from fear of having the Parisians informed of the true state ol affairs elsewhore in France. The Prussians Prus-sians thus far have taken extraordinary paius to conceal from the beleaguered city the capacity of France for resistance. resist-ance. From all parts of the country j come but one expression and hope : that the government will accept no conditions as the price of peace that involve territorial cession. The journals jour-nals of this city are unanimous that the only hope for fair terms lies in the prosecution of the war. In the eat the Prussian army has been suddenly anc decisively wnipped, Their march on Lyons has Leen checked by the French under Garibaldi. The latter, ever since he took command, has aaeii vigorously, has taken many prisoners and cannon, and accomplished the ub jeet for which he set forth. J he Prussians Prus-sians in Normandy and iu the Vo.-ges find it extremely difficult to move their aUlliery. The" more difficulties the Prussians are compelled to encounter, the more is the inhumanity with wbii-h they treat the French people, needlcs-ly destroying farming interests and manufactories, manu-factories, tearing down dwellings, killing kill-ing horses and outdo, and destroying food they can't eat or carry away. The Fianc-tireurs take advantage of this bad weather to inflict severe losses on the enoeiy. The mayor of Montdidicr has been dismis-.ed from his office for cowardice. The Prussians at I'reux levied a tax of ."'O.i MJ francs on the people. Tours, 27.
