INTENSE INTEREST IN THE ELECTIO: Panis, Oct. 13.—Public interest in the elec- tion, which takes place to-morrow, is becoming manifest in the streets. The Republican cowm- ments on President MacMabon's last manifesto are very severe. The espulsion of Bedell, the American, for canvassing tor Menier, a radical Republican, at Mont Rouge, has been made so mucn of by the. Republicun papers that the Foreign Oftice has addressed 2 reproving aud admouitory commuuique to the Bien Public aud La France, and the same to the Xappel. PAPERS SEIZED. The agents of the London papers are required to produce written license for the delivery of their bundles at the station. The sale of pavers thus depeuds on the pleasure of the Govern- ment. The Daily News was scized at the post and railway yesterday. The Duke de Cazes, in a speech at Libourne, admitted no distinction between the Republican party aud the Communists. HUGO'S SENTIMENTS. At ameeting lust night, supporting Grevy’s candidature, Victor Hugo presided, and said: “France is of age. She knows what she wauts. uicu would hesitate to say to her, * My Washington would not dare to say, A& the tiat of universal suffrage the isperse. France will give her orders, and no matter who it may be, be will obey. 1 will not offer anybody the insult of doubting his obedience. The victory is already certmn. We feel some pity and we witl not push ourvictory bepond reasonabie bounds; but the trivmpn of law and right is certain. Have faith in the country and never despair. France bas a predestined mission. Bleeding, mutilat- «d, put to ransum, given up to factions in the past, she smiles superbly, and works miracles in the ficld of ideas, and in the field of events she makes even her catastrophes serve as a foundation for the future. Yes; you may ex- pect everything of France. She makes use of the most forundable of revolutions to found the wost stable of Governments.” ADDRESS TO THE REPUBLICAN ELECTORS. e following wanifesto has been addressed to the electors of the Left of the Senate: Deak FELLOW-CITIZENS: At the last moment s supreme etfort is about to be mude to influence your vote to the advantage of the oflicial candi- dates. If you ure tola Republican institutions are imperiled, you will demand, Why? Broglie and Fourtou. of the Ministry, have only adversaries of the Lepublic for their agents. Why does that Minisiry leave unpunished und encourage the fnso- lent attack of waich it i3’ the ubject, while they prosecute with all their power mea who defend nd you will reply: - **No, we do mnot believe it.” If you are told this Ministry is not subject to elerical mifluence you will remember the indulgences and prayers placed publicly at the services of uflicial cundidates, and you will reply, “+We do 1ot believe you.™ If you are told that the Republican Electors would plunge the country into trouble aud danger, you will show them the names of oftical candidates—ali enemies of the Republican regime—und concealiny neither their amus nor their hopes, and you will repl: We do wot beheve you If you are told the Government guarantces order and peace, you will reply that wmost profound oraer prevaited before the 16th of May; that it has not since then ceased to prevail. despite much provoca- tion, and you will repeat, with the late Thiers, that the only fomentors of discord are these men eharacterized us ansrchists and perturbators. Electors: You will vote for the 463, and you will everywhere protest against oificial candidacies, whiich are an insult to_your iberty, to the dignity of universal sullrage, and to the sovereignty of the nation. VICTOR AND MAC. Pants, Oct. 13.—The Italian Ambassador here has had a cordial interview with President Mac- Mabon, aud assured him of the good disposition of Italy. ¥ FRENCH POLITICS.

Tondon Examizer. 42 Oue of the rocks ahead of the French Ministry is the payment of their election expenses. The dispateh of the 13,000,000 copies of - the procla- mavion alone must have cost a good deal. Where is the money to come from?! A sub- seription list_bas been open for tiwo months, S the result of drawing £19,040. a very in- suflicicnt sum for the expenses that have to be met. It looks as if they counted upon treating the lection 25 8 Government affair, and _payini their expenses out of the national exchequer. They are doing their utmost to identify the couservative cause with the Govermment.” For example, the clectioncering subscriptions are paid toM. Flury Ehrard, the Government bank- er, through whom are sent all payments to Con- sulates aod Embassies, There may be a color for treating the issueof the Marshal’s proclama- tion to every single ciector as a Government ex- penditure, but they may be certain that the As- sembly, who bold the ?urleqtrinll,mu not be ribune, PRICE FIVE CE} overcager to vote the money for if, unless ‘tihings are settled very much to their satistac on. 1t scems_that the Republican plan of cam- paign is, when the Assembly meets, to insist upon the dismissal of the present Ministry, and in the event of the Marshal’s refusing, as be has pledged himself todv, to decline to vote the dudiret except for one month, and theu ta wrant only the sum rigorously d anded for aying the rentes and maintaining the army. f, therefore, the Ministry have cateulated upon slipping any part of their expendif public taxes they will ind themsel culty. IN BULGARIA. STRENGTI OF THE ARMIES. Loxpoy, Oct. 13.—The Times' summary of the strength of the Russian army of the Danube is that only 200,000 men crossed the Danube, of which 60,000 have been disposed of by battle or discase. Of the Imperiai {uard only will reach the front fit for scrvice, so that, as rein- forced, the army will azain amount to 200,00 This includes the Roumanians, but not the Dobrudscha column of 30,000. The writer esti- mates Osman Pasha’s army as reinforced at 100,000, and Suleiman Pasha’s at about thesame, 50 the combatants have equal forces. SCHIPRA. Turkish reports from Schipka represent mili- tary operations as entirely suspended by the weather. SICENE3S. % Intelligence from Bicla states that Sulieman Pasha’s army is decimated by typhus.

The Czar has decreed that every soldier may be promoted a_commissioned officer for distin- gwished services on pussing the usual examning- tion. IMBECILITY OF THE RUSSIAN CAVALRY. Londva Tunes. Se; 29, A Russian oflicial bulletin issucd on Wednes- Suowledues that the convoy escorted by i Pushia forced its way through the allied cavalry covering the road from Suiia to Plevna and eitered the lines of Oswan Pasha last Sat- urday. 1t is added that the details of the op- erutivns on that day are unkuown. This infor- mation is candid, aithouzn it must have Leen extremely Litter tor the Russian headquarterz to promuigate. The curt Lrevity of U nouncement indicztes considerabie d tion on the part of the lmpenal authorities.

Lf the approach of the convoy was known, but no infantry could he detached from the forces near Radichievo or Gravitza to_uppose bim, the force in tront of the Ottoman fortifications must be far too weak for the task assigued to it. But e without the presence of infantry, it ditficuls to understand how a force of only 12,000 men swas uble to pierce the curtain of cavairy which might bave been drawn up Lo bar its way, and at the same time to secure the passage through the opposiug squarons of loug _trains of wa: ous.

These should muster, if at all ap- proachiug their regulated strength, ot least 10+ 000 sabresand lances. Such a force should bave been able to bar the advance of the head of the enemy’s column, cnvelope its flunks, harry its rear, und carry confusion aud disorder futo the whuleline of wagons which ac- companied it.

Bocmarest, Oct. 1, 1577.—Intelligence from Plevna states that the Roumarian frenches nave been pushed o within fifty yardsof the redoubt porthwest of the great redoubt of Gravitza, and, therefore, an gssault upon that work is probably imminent. Should this Turkish work fall, the great intrenched camp on the western brow of the ridge upon Which stands the Gra- vitza redoubt will probabiy be the next object of attack. This cgmp is the key of the Plevas position. It overliangs the city, and dowmi- pates the redoubts west and southwest of the village of Gravitza, ami shoull it fall the Turkish centre woull Le pierced and the position untenable. The capture of the redoubt against which tie X,uumuni:ub arc naw, working would give the busiegers very fayora- ble facilities for attacking the intrenched camp.
