A special London dispatch to the Tribune says the arrival of the King at Bar le uc is the best comment on the French stories, assiduously spread in Paris, that the Prussians were caught in a trap at Metz. McMahon's moves are known to, the Prussians, and they do not think them of enough consequence to delay the advance of the Crown Prince, or prevent a part of Steinmetz' and of Prince Frederick Charles' forces to strengthen the column moving on Paris. The Prussian front now stretches stretch-es thirty or forty miles. The main coluruu is apparent! marching by Par le Due and Yitrey, while the left wing lias enveloped Chaumont and Briennc, from 25 to 40 miles southward of the line of march of the main columns. The French war office privately assorts, as-sorts, nevertheless, that McMalion and Bazaine are in full communication and pursuing the Prussians, which anybody may believe who likes. The Worlds special says an envoy from Madrid has arrived in Florence to reopen negotiations for o tiering the Spanish throne to Prince Thomas of Genoa, son of the Duchess of Genoa, and brother-in-law of the Prince Royal of Italy. The Papal government no longer opposes the plau. The prince is 1 i years old. The same correspondent telegraphs from London : 1 have now the key of the recent Wnrtemburg mission to Kngland. The court and people of Wurtemburg are both dissatisfied dis-satisfied with the course of the Prussian government.

The smoke-curls smoke-curls up among thoe shade tree; where the garrison have often met on summer eveniDgs with pipes and ;-igars. and where nursemaids have brought the children to play. Now look at these old ramparts with only soldiers upon them, who are in no sporting mood. There is f!a-h after flash from the ramparts, and from the opposite rising ground there i- a constant whistling whist-ling and shrieking acro-s the space between, be-tween, and flying up of dust along the German guns, or a crash in the town, as one side or the other makes a hit. li the Pfalsburg defences are in good order, or-der, the determined commandant may earn promotion by a determined defense; de-fense; but if his works once get disabled dis-abled he is lost, the Germans having a strong force, as we can see, ready to advance; and after Weissenburg " we know that mere ramparts will not stop them. See the dark columns of smoke rising above the trees and floating in the air. The church tower is a column of smoke; then there appears another; it is clear that houses are burning, but not so clear that the French are silenced. silenc-ed. They fire more slowly than their assailants, and seem to aim rather high; but there is some heavy metal in the j booming reports which come from the Chalabourg ramparts. Three distinct columns of dark smoke rise from the towu. It is a good defense for the day, certainly. The cannonade dies away at evening, and there is no sign of surrender. sur-render. -London, i!0. The lins this morning has the following resume of the situations: situ-ations: King iVilliaru, leaving a sufficient suffici-ent force before Metz, where seige works rise like exalations, joined the Crown Prince who was pu-hing on for Paris. The movements of MeMahon begin now to be intelligible. From Wecrth, avoiding Metz. he passed through to Maselle, to Nancy and to Chalons where he was reinforced by the garde mobile aad volunteers. Ilis obvious aim has been to bar the passage of the present advance of the Prince on Paris. Affecting to disregard him, the Crown Prince moved on his flank, past the camp at Chalons, offer- mg .uc-uauon uauie, wiuci tue inner declined, retreating on llheims, leaving leav-ing the Chalons camp to the Prussians. Since that time. Kheims has been abandoned itself. The obvious motive throughout on the part of the French has been to avoid a tight. The Prussians Prus-sians are now within a short march of Paris, where some slight additional resistance may be met. Berlin, Aug. 20. One corps of the first and second armies still confront Bazaine, while the remainder of the Prussian forces have marched on Paris. Paris, August 1!6. The environs of Metz are inundated by the French authorities. At a council of ministers yesterday, favorable news was communicated from both ihc French armies. It is now certain there was no serious fighting yesterday as reported la-t evening iu Figaro. The minister has received information that the Prussians are no longer at Chalons, but that the Prince Royal has retrograded. Orders are given to the mounted gens d' amies to resist the raids of the uhlaxs. La Libertr says al Toul yesterday, the garde mobile made a sortie, defeating defeat-ing and killing the greater part of two Prussian regiments. ( 'arl-ruhe, August L'6.

The Ti.nr special, spe-cial, New York. says the proprietor propri-etor of the leading French orgau in this city has positive information tram Paris that Bazaine has effected a 'unction 'unc-tion with MeMab.cn, and is now perfecting per-fecting a grand strategical movement which will fiuish up in a very few days the army of the Crown Prince. News was received this afternoon that the Prussian are within sixty-tive miles of Paris. I: is considered of no importance in the light of the events which occurred a week ago, when the Prussians were about as near Paris as they are to-day. Bazaine is known to be anxious for the Prussian army to push on to Paris, so as to fall in ihe clutches ,,f Troehu, who will attack them in front while Bazaine and MeMahon will attack in the rear and flank them. The feeling in Paris is more hopeful: there is not the least shadow of doubt. Ail private dispatches dis-patches from London this evening reluctantly acknowledged the nme fact, and were it not for the unpatriotic clamor in the Corps Legislatif, the more confident feeling of those in authority would be shared by the entire en-tire press and people. |
