The Journal Offcicl says:—"Up to one o'clock this ‘Morning no attack nad been made on the lert wing. ur forces arrived at Saverne tn good order.” The Journal Oficiel has advices trom Metz to bait- past four yesterday evening, thus:— Details of the battle of froschweiller are still ‘Meagre. Marshal MacMahon had nis horse killed mnder him. A brigade of cavairy of the reserve and one division of the corps of General Failly arrived on the field at the close of the day and cov- ered the retreat. The pursuit of the enemy was ‘vigorous at first, but soon became a mere recon- noissance. MacMabon, after being twenty-five hours in’ the saddle, passed the day Sunday at St. Averne, which Was abandoned on Sunday gnight and oceupied by ‘the Prussians. Some oi thetr advance pickets came up with our rear guard, but were driven back with- out much difficulty. The Montteur gives the following account of tne death of General Douay at the battic of Wissem. bourg:— ‘The General was from the beginning in the thick- est of the fight. When he saw ihe day was lost, after he had done ali that he could to retrieve 1, ‘when not even a battalion was left him, he called his alds, one by one, gave them orders aud sent them away, AS 890n as the last one was gone the General, spurring his horse, rode some distance to ‘the froni, dismounted, and taking @ pistol from the “holster, shot the animal. Then turning around, ne «slowly walked towards the enemy. His soldi ers vainly tried to stop him. Amid the terrible tiring ‘he deliberately walked on, The retreating soidiers, aroused by the spectacle, turned again upon the enemy, but fell In heaps around thei General, who stlil pressed forward. Another tremendous dis- charge from the enemy, and Generfi Douay, almost alone, fell dead. At the battle of Froschweiler a corps of volunteer ‘surgeons wearing white badges, as instituted by the Geneva Convention, everywhere rendered most praiseworthy service. ‘The Moniteur says a person worthy of entire con. Mdence, who has just arrived from Alsace, states @hat the Prussian losses in the recent dighting were ‘beyond computation. In the Vosges decision andthe greatest energy prevail. The Garde Mobile manifest much entun- ‘siasm, A telegram from Marseliles, dated Angust 9, Says:— For two days the city has been greatly agitated by demonstrations of the people, Great crowds assem- ‘ble and demand arms. Last evening groups of radi- cals, seemingly Without evil intent, entered the City Hall aud endeavored to overturn the municipal gov- ernment. Troops quickly arrived with stringent or- ders to arrest the rioters. The arrests have con- ‘tinued to-day, about forty persona being now under ee for participating in the disturbances. ‘Tho city perfectly angutl again, Despatches from the Prefects of Departments in all parts of the empire aro fliled with details of the patriotic excitement of the people, On all sides ‘volunteers are coming forward. The Journal Oficiel says:—The War Department has 60,000,000 of cartridges for the guns with which the National Guard is to be armed, and preparations have been made on an extensive scale for the manu- facture of more to meet all emergencies. ‘The Council of State met yesterday, and will huid another session to-day. American bonds and bills on London are in great demand in Paris, At Cherbourg last night there was great activity in the embarkation of troops for the Baltic. ‘The Austrian Minister here Is authorized to deny the report that Italy and Austria are sending troops W save Napoleon, The Journal de Sotr says Admiral Ronci*re le Noury will take command of the defences of Paris and that 8,000 cannoniers from the navy have been placed under his orders to man the guns of the forts, 7 ‘the Figaro says a Physician, who has just re- turned from the front, reports that even the Prus- sians acknowledge the superiority of the French guns, Nearly all the French soldiers are wounded in the legs and (eet, While in the battle of Woerth the Joss of the Prussians in killed and mortally wounded ‘was immense, owing to ® longer range of the Chassepots, These facts make strong impression on the soldie: The same gentleman says the French wounded Were taken by the Prussians into ther ambulances and treated with the utmost care and kindness: and the ‘he adds that the ambulance service of the enemy 18 perfectly organized. The New Minisry. Panis, August 11—Midnight. The new Ministers took their oaths of office at nine o'clock last mght at the Tuileries. The Prince de la Tour d'Auvergne only was ab Sent, He will not be here until next week. In the meantime the duties of the Minister of Foreign Affairs will be performed by Count Pallkao. The Ministers of War and the Interlor have taken prompt measures to insure the effectiveness of ad- ministration in their respective departments. The Minister of War 1s collecting arms and ammunition of ail kinds, and sending them forward to the troops in the fleld. He {3 also preparing to arm and equip the National Guard, General Trochu will nave command of the army formed by the men which the law just noted calls into service, To this force will be speedily coutiacd the defence of the capital. Bodies of the Garde Mobtle from the provinces have commenced to pour into the city on their way to the front, As they pass through the streets the people crowd the sidewalks and windows, and cheer them with great enthusiasm. La Liberté says the Orleans princes have aadressed letters to the Minister of War asking for service in the French army. The Minister of Foreign Affairs has received $10,000 from the French residents in San Francisco Tor the families of the killed and wounded. The Prefect of the Upper Rhine, in a despatch to the Minister of the Interior, dated Colmar, at quarter past ten o’clock this moraing, says there has been no movement on the banks of the Rime this morning. The Gaulois says Count Palikao has prepared a decree, which he will submit to the Emperor, order- ing all Germans residing in Paris to quit French soil Within twelve hours after receiving notice to that effect. All the English corresponden’s have returned from the front. They report that they were In great danger of being hanged by the tnhabitants, who be- lieve all foreigners are Prussian spies aud threaten them with death. The Gautots says there is much talk In diplomatic circies of an intervention of the great Powers tor the purpose of making peace. “France,” says the Gau- lois, “cannot accept such an interference; it would be incompatible with her dignity, Such was the first sentiment expressed by Count Palikao when in- formed of his nomination to the Ministry.” The War Debate in the Legislature—Contin tion and Clesc of a Stormy Scene~Thanks to the Army. Paris, August 11, 1870. The following is a continuation of the report of the proceedings of the Corps Lézislatif yesterday:— Jules Favre said—The Cabinet need but meet to decide, but need not retard the action of the Cham- bers, The commission must give a report, and we muat deliberate at once. Minister Jerome David said the government had made known its opinion, Jules Favre again—This Chamber must decide, M. Thiers rose to speak, but could hardly be heard. He advocated an immediate desision upon the question. Remember, sald Favre, how signifi- cant it will be tothe nation if you put off delibera- tion. We place upon you the responsibility. Minister David replicd—You may assume It. Members of the lett asserted this was a menace, Jules Favre answered:—Think of the effect of de- Jay. Remember that the Ministry had promised to invade the territory of the enemy, aad ow they are on ous, Here the tumult became extreme. Deputy Gambetta mounted the tribune, but could not be heard. At last the Corps became calmer and M. Gawbetta said the Ministero Public Works has changed the question. The Chamber will vote under ® wrong impression. The members of the Jeft asked for arms for a patriotie purpose. Minister David—Let us suppose the demana arias Was only to trouble the public pe: Chamber must know what it votes. for there must be no equivocation. A Minisier said the government did not seek to equivocate. At length it'was decided by a vote, of 170 to 79 that the question of the reorganization of the National Guard should go over till tc-morraw. for ‘the The Presideat expressed a desire to close the | Mecting, but Depaty Estaucelin insisted upon a vote thatthe Chambers be tu permanent session so long as the war continues. The Chamber, by a vote of 177 to 17, reftnsed this, M. Perry renewed the agitatton by demandiug to know why the state of siege 13 continued aga:nsi enemies within the city o! Paris, A votce answered, but if was impossible to hear more, The President, worn out with the toil of the pro- ceedings, ceased efforts to procure order, and slowly the meeting dispersed. The Senate met to-day and greeted the Count of Palikao warmly. A yote of thanks was given to the army, and the | project of law tending to the arming of the nation adopted. The Jowrnal Offciel of to-day says that the last oficial act of the Duc de Gramont was signing the treaty with England ty secure the neutrality of Bel- gium. At half-past three o'clock P. to-day the report was:—“The Corps Légisiatf is now in session, A crowd of about 600 persons 1s collected in front of the Chamber, clamoring for arms. Within the Chamber, though there is much excitement, no uls- orderly scenes have occurred. Parliamentary Debate Yesterday—M. Thiers on the Militasy Power of Frauce. Panis, August 1i—-Night. ‘The Corps Législatif met at two o'clock this after- noon, the Marquis de Taibonet presiding. The agitation outside the building was not so great as onthe two days previous and the military guard was smaller. No attempt was made to pre- vent the peopie trom assembling in the street m the vicinity, or from passing across the Pont de Ja Con corde. As s00n as the session was opened Deputy Keratry moved “that .2 committee of inquiry be tastitured und that Marshal Lebouf be summaned to appear before it.” ‘The proposition cansed much excitement. Count Palikao, the Minister of War, tried to speak, but the noise and confusion was too great. At length ho made himself heard. He said “Marshal Bazaine ‘Was now in command of the army, and the govern- ment must refuse Its consent to the proposition of M. Keratry, as it was wholly unnecesgary.’? M. Thiers said, while the Chamber had a right to demand ali such explanations, he opposed this de- mand, though “he felt it was strange that such reverses should happen to France with only one Power opposed to her, whereas she often stood ous againgt the coalitions of Furope,”’ ENGLAND.
