LONpon, Oct. 20—P, M. A special letter from Paris, addressed to the HERALD and marked per ‘Balloon Monte,” dated on, the 13th instant, has just been received here, I transmit its points of contents by cable to-day. ‘The special writer says:—The situation in Paris re- Mains unchanged. No evidence has yet been given Of the abiily of the Prussians to take the city, and it appears to me that the attitude of the journals publishea im the French capital is be- coming more and more stubborn on the War question daily. One thing is certain, that ip the entertaining or consideration of any ont- line of a plan of peace none but the most honorable terms for the French wil be permitted. Certainly nO peace but an hovorabie and dignified one will be accepted. THE WASHBURNE MISSION. United States Minister Washburne has come charged with some sort of a mission with a view ‘w mediation; but no effort at mediation will have any chance of peing successful unless it is made in ‘the spirit and tone to which I have referred above. THE DEMOCRATIC MONUMENT. ‘The first mould for the casting of the great statue eMgy of democracy has just been finished, and the bust with which it is to be adorned will be com- pleted within a tew days. PABTY VIOLENCE SUBSIDING, The “Reds,” especially the followers of Gustave Fiourens, ate becoming orderly and quiet. Political Giesenters are losing their hold on the Popular mind rapidly, ARMY DISCIPLINE, ‘The French council of war, which had been called for the trial of ‘the army deserters from Chatillon, has finished its*labors, and sentenced five of the eriminals to punishment by death. The unfortunate convicts are enumerated in the following order, ‘viz.:—Lorillet and Bajeux, cannoniers of the Elev- enth artillery; Bandishow, a private soldier serving ™ the Bighty-second regiment of the line; Roupert, & brigadier, and Querin, a cannonter of the Fourth artillery. Two others, who bad been placed on trial on the same charge, were acquitved. General Trochu has approved the finding ef the ‘Oours 1m each case, particularly on the ground that he ig acting in complete accord with the public fee). ing, which has prenounced in favor of a vigorous punishment of deserters as being absolutely essen- tial for the nitimate success of the army. ‘The President of the Court Martial is Levelin de Diorme, A GOOD SHOT, BUT LITTLE RESULT.

Cloud during four weeks, and yet they have not ma- terially aided in the siege of Paris from that point. THE EXECUTIVE AND THE PEOPLE, Generally speaking the management of public ‘fairs lacks activity. The people are grumbling at the government. Some parties are urging General Trochn to quit Paris and take his departure to the provinces of France, and there, by his presence, help to raise a fresh army for the relief of Paris, Other persons insist that the Genera) shall remain in the capital under all circumstances. This sub- Ject constatutes the theme of an angry public dis- cussion. THE BURNSIDE MIBSION, General Burnside is expected to return to Paris within forty-eight hours from the time at which I write and then report the result of his interview with Count Bismarck. There appears to be a re- markable sort of mystery attached to and envelop- ing this particular misston. THE PARIS GARRISON, The firemen of Paris are busily engaged in the Manufacture of mitraillenses, and very large orders ave been given for the supply of new Chassepots. ‘The soldiers of the Mobile have been relieved from duty in the fortes of Paris, and their places supplied by men of the Garde Nationale, as the soldiers of the latter force have grown much more effective. TELEGRAPH. Paris has been environed by a telegraph line, but the wire must have been broken during one of the last sortica—the very one which was reported so tm- Wedately at headquarters by she line. FAOTS—PRRSONALS, ‘The weather has grown very much colder in and round Paris. Foelisdear. A terrible monotony Prevails all over the city, i Some Americans offer as much as $10,000 for an opportunity to leave Paris, Mr. Washburne and the Pope’s Nuncio have applied for oMctal leave to quit the city, but their applications failed.

A despatch from Rocroy, near the Belgian border, Qated yesterday, announces that a balloon from Parts bas just Janded near that place, ANOTHER BATTLE NEAR PARIS—SUCCESS OF THE PRENCL. M. Dubost, a delegate from the government of Paris to Tours, who landed in the balloon at Rocroy yesterday, brings news of another engagement near Paris, it began in the morning at Hautes-Braytres and lasted three hours; was resumed in the after- noon, and terminated after three hours’ more fight- wg. The Prussians, who attacked in both actions, were repulsed with a heavy loss. The despatch from Rocroy which contains the above intelligence does not give the date of the affair, NATIONAL GUARDS GOING TO THE FRONT—A GEN- BRAL ATTAOK ON THE BESIEGERS INTENDED, According to the latest advices from Paris Gen- eral Trochu, giving way to the unceasing demand of the National Guards, has given bis consent to their organization in mobilized regiments as an ac- tie force for sorties and service beyond the walls. He also announces that he has a plan for @ general attack on the besiegers which, when matured, will be carried out on a formidable scale. In the mean- ‘while he will accept volunteers for sorties and night UNABLE TO PLANT BATTERIES. Letters received here from Paris, dated on the 15th instant, state that the citizens and troops are still m the best of spirits and hopeful as to the result. Daily sorties are made by the garrison and much loss inflicted on the Prussians. The latter have not been able to erect any batteries owing to the terrible artillery fre from the forte and the vigorous sorties of the besieged. REAFFIRMATION OF SUCCESS BEFORE PARIS. The best answer to the Prussian despatches say- ing their ‘loss was trifling before Paris on the 13th,” on the occasion of the sortte of the Parisians, 1s found in the official military report which is just published, showing that after the battle the Prus- sians demanded a truce of five hours to bury their dead, AMERICANS TRYING TO LEAVE PARIS. Advices from Paris state that a number of Ameri- cans who iad obtained passes from the Prussian authorities outside the city found 1t imposelble to leave. The Prossians explained that owing to cer- tain strategical reasons the Americans would not be permitted to leave by any of the usual roads, The Prussians advised the Americans to leave by boat, going down the Seine, and promised them protec- tion by that foute. MINISTER WASHBURNE TO REMAIN IN THE CAPITAL. Minister Washburne has informed Jules Favre that he himself will remain in Paris as long as the government authorities do, PRUSSIANS RETREATING RFOM THE LOIRE. The Prussians are returning toward Paris without seeking & battle with the French forces on the right bank of the Loire. They are, however, still in peaceful occupation of Orleans. Owing to their great losses at Chateandun the Prusstans have nearly destroyed that town by, fire. The govern- ment here gives no information as to the move- ments of the large French force on the bank of the Lotre, FEARS THAT THE PRUSSIANS INTEND TO SURPRISE TOURS. uv , s00 The movements of the enemy south of the Loire are much commented on pin the journals here, Some fear @ rapid movement is in progress for the suprrise of Tours. Assurances are given that tne government wiil not Jeave until an attack is certain to be made. OBRMAN BXAOTIONS AT CHATRAUD NEUF. At Onateand Neuf, where the Prussians attacked and were beaten Of, they took revenge by exacting heavy contributions of money. The inhabitants paid the sum, heavy as it was, within 60,000 francs. The Germans then evacuated the place, but threat- ened to return s00n and collect the balance or burn the town. RBINFORCEMENTS ARRIVING AT TOULON. A telegram from Toulon dated yesterday reports that three regiments ef infantry, zouaves and Turcos, have arrived @t this point since Monday. Great numbers of horees and larx:* quantities of war material have also been collected from the neighbor- ing country. The troopa were at once sent to the front. THE ARMY AND GARIBALDI IN THE VOSGES. Alarge French force is assembled at Besangon. General Garibaldi has issued a earring address to the France-tireurs. PATRIOTIC FEBLING UNDIMINISHED. Despatches from Roven, Lille, Belfort and other places show that the determination w resist the Prussians is as etrong a8 ever, NATIONAL GUARD DEPUTATIONS FROM LYONS. A telegram from Lyons, dated yesterday, says that two deputations of National Gaards jeft that city the same day. One wentto Besancon and the other toTours.

Many prisoners were taken by the Germans, whose loss was small. ONNBRAL PARIS NEWS. A balloon letter of the 17th, last night recelyea at Boulogne from Pans, gives no news of start- Ming amportance. Since their recent defeats the Germans have retired beyond the range of the heavy French guns, and the space in which the troops are mancuvred before Paris has been greatly increased. it is believed that great prepa- rations are being made by General Trochu for an offensive movement on a grand scaie, but no details are accessible, nor were they so could they be sent out of Paris by letter, Every letter despatched by balioon bas to be handed in unsealed to the anthori- ties, who supervise with @ corps of sworn transla- tors, all the letters and correspondence offered. Some of the best cannon now used in the defence of Paris ure guns brought back from Rome ana Civita Vecchia. The gas used in the city 1s now served out by rations, the object being to economize the stock of coal, Alike rule has been adopted in the purchase and sule of fresh meat, No morh than acertain quanthy per arrondissement being allowed to be daily used. A rough calculation gives the city an abundant supply of fresh meat for two months to come, and of bread and hard provisions for five months. A quantity of stores and many cattle were taken from the Prussians in their recent defeat be- fore Paris. ‘THE GERMANS IN ORLMAYS. ‘The conduct of the Germans tn Orieans, accord- ing to the Prussian account, is muoh different from that ascribed to them by the French newspapers. ‘They were perfectly orderly, and the occupation was unattended by any violence or extortion. SUCCESSFUL SORTIE FROM NEUV BRISACH. ‘The French garrison at Neuf Brisach made a suc- cessful sortie on Saturday morning last. They killed and wounded 200 and took tairteen prisoners, THE FRENCH FLEET OFF HAMBURG. Despatches from Hamburg state that ten French ships of war are outside of Heligoland-Nouera in sigat of the mouth of the Elbe. Preparations to meet the French vessels have been made in tne Weser, GENERAL BOURBAKI’S HESITANCY, ‘The Morning Telegraph has reason to believe that Genera} Bourbaki’s refusal to cammand the beaten Army of the Loire was due to a very natural feeling, and that his offer to command the Army of the North is considered a subterfuge, as that army is not likely to be formed at all.

THE POLITICAL QUESTION. NAPOLEON'S AF- TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Jules Favre’s Reply to Bismarck’s Circalar— ‘Trochu in Favor of Peace, Gambetia Op- Ppeosed—France Denying Responsibility for the War—Explanation from General Barn- side—Prassian Arrogance Rebuked. Lonpon, Oct. 20, 1870, It 1s rumored that the maission of Laurier from the French government to London is to negotiate a loan. JULES FAVRA’S REPLY TO BISMARCK’S CIRCULAR, ~Atelegram from Rouen says that a copy of the Paris oficial journal just received there contains the answer of M. Favre to the circular of Bismarck on the conference at Ferrteres, “It is well,” says Favre, ‘hat France should know the extent of the ambition of Prussia. It does not stop at the conquest of two of our provinces: 1t seeks our destruction. France must have no illusions: her existence is at stake. She was offered dishonor and she refused. They propose to punish her by annihilation. This is the exact situa- tion. I prefer our peril and our sufferings to the gratification of theexorbitant ambition of our,ene- mies. Even if vanquished France will be greater in her misfortane, and wilt have the admiration and sympathy of the world. France, perhaps, needed this supreme trial, from which she will issue traus- formed.” ANOTHER STORY ABOUT BAZAINE'S NEGOTIATIONS. A correspondent at Ostend sends word that Jt 1g understood in Belgium that Colonel Napoleon Boyer, the chief of staff of Marshal Bazaine, has gone to Versailles with no notion whatever of surrender, but-simply to ascertain whether the Germans are willing to abandon the hopeless at- tempt to capture Paris, and to authorize Marshal Bazaine, in the name of the empire, to make peace. The story is that if the Germans wiil withdraw from before Paris to Alsace, and occupy the frontier, in- cluding Strasbourg, Marshal Bazine will march to Paris with his army and restore a stable govern- ment, capable of restoring a satisfactory peace at once. Incredible aa it may seem, this story is be- lieved here in high quarters, The fact that for all practical purposes Marshal Bazaine is master of the situation on the Moselle gives currency to all these extraordinary inventions, wnich J send as the voice of the moment, without pretending to guarantee theif accuracy. ~3; Se Voda i TROCHU IN FAVOR OF fas OPPOSED. The Etotle Belge, of Prussels, says it 1s believed that General Trochu and some of the other mem- bers of the provisional government are desirous of peace, while M. Gambetta, the Minister of the Inte- rior, is implacable. FRANCE DENYING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE WAR. ‘The French Foieign Office has issued a circular to the neutral Powers denying any responsibility for the present war. The representations made by Prussia as to the state of affairs in Paris are afirmed to be utterly untrue. France desires peace—a dura- ble peace. AN EXPLANATION FROM GENERAL BURNSIDE. General Burnside has found it necessary to deny that be has been cemmissionea by the American government to offer peace propositions of any kind. THE ARROGANCE OF PRUSSIA. The London Times, in its review of the Continen- tal situation this morning, censures the arrogance of the Prussians in thelr terms for peace and ap- proves the language of the Wruperor, that “no gov- ernment yielding a foot of Frenecli territory as a con- dition of peace could retain its power # day.”’ GENERAL BURNSIDE AN “OFFICIOUS AGENT.” The Paris Oficiel Journal of ti) 16th positively declares that General Burnside had no mission from the Prussian authorilies wheu he visited Paris, He ‘Was merely an oficions ayent. FEELING IN BELGIUM AGAINST PRUSSIA. There is great indignation in Beigsum at the at- tempt of the Prussian government to interfere with the liberty of the Belgian press. The complaint of Count von Bismarck against the /tependence Lege is thought an outrage upon the nghts of the Belgian people, and it has produced a very bitter feeling here against the Prussians, already disliked on ac- count of the protragtion of a war whieh seriously , ambpiance, interferes with all the beat interests of the center minous countries, THE FEELING IN LONDON, TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Anti-Prusian Demoustration in London—The British Ministry Denounced—King William Pitched Into—Attack Upon the Divine Rights ot Kinge—Kevointionary Feeling—Hooting Before the Prussian Embassy — Russian Agents at Work. LONDON, Oct, 20, 1870, The attempt of the government to prevent the demonstrations arranged to be made last hight against the existing war ended in a disastrous failure and in embittering the popular feeling. A double cordon of police had been formed, extending from whe Treasury Buildings to the houses of Parliament, aud the police were stationed on both sides of Parliament street and on West- mineter Bridge to prevent the people from reaching Palace Yara, designated as the spot for holding the meeting. ‘Two regiments of inijantry and the Dra- goon Guards were under arms all night in their barracks, but no call was made upon them. THE BRITISH MINISTRY DENOUNCED. In spite of all the precautions of the authorities, nearly twenty thousand people made their way from Victoria street, Westminster, and from other quarters to Palace yard, An immense meeting was organized and addressed by several speakers, including Mr. Richard Con- greve, Mr. Weston, Mr. McSweeney and Mr. Weber, The drift of the Speechea was unanimoust ‘They said the meeting had assembled to teach the Gladstone government their duty and to compel them todo it, Cheers were given for Lord Harrington, who had alone shown himself @ man tn the present government; and cries of ‘‘a shame on him” greeted the allusion of one speaker to the apathy of John Bright in the presence of the “greatest nauionai crime of the century.” PITCHING INTO KING WILLIAM. One speaker said it was the duty of Europe to compel Prusma to make compensation for the vast devastation she had perpetrated in France, King William was denonnced by name as @ hypocritical assassin and an incar- nate devil of royaity. One of the speakers re- called the suppression of German liberty by Prussia in 1848, the insolence of General von Wrangel in devolving by force the Prussian Assembly, the bloodthirsty spirit in which the Prince of Prussia, now King William, had pursued the aemocrats of Baden and of the Rhine. He seid the plain object of the Prussian Crown at this time was to destroy liberty tn Europe, to make freedom in Germany impossible by inaugurating @ policy which would compel Germany to be always under arms herself and surround her with hostile nations equally armed, and by replanting military institu. tions in the heart of the Continent to check the pro- gresg of the Old World in the direction so gloriously opened to it by the New. This reference to America was hailed with repeated cheers. Royal Prussia, sald Mr. Weber, a German, had aided to dismember Poland, hold down Hungary and oppress Italy, Royal England had been jeagued with her, AN ATTACK UPON THE DIVINE RIGHTS OF KINGS AND ‘THEIS PENSIONS, With te help of German hirelings, gold by Ger man despots, England had subjugated trend, and with the same help she had sought to preven the establishmeat of the American repnbilc, until the legions of France came to the rescue of the countrymen of Washington. The sooner all kings and all queens [deafening cheers] were adol- ished the better. A defensive alliance should be formed jong the people of all nations, Mr, Oliver, in the conclusion of his speech, said:— “We tell Mr. Gladstone, who misrepresents the English people to-day, in yonder pile of gimerack architecture (pointing towards tae House of Parlia- ment) that if he does not recognize the republic of France to-day he will find himself compelled to recognize the republic of Bugland to-morrow.’ Mr. McSweney offered a resolatien, which was adopted by acclamation, calling wpon the gov- ernment to form a defensive alllance with with France, and instructing the members for the metropoljs to bring before Parliament a bill abolish- ing all the pensions paid by Great Britain to German princes, including the Crown Prince ef Prussia and Prince Louis, uf Hesse, now living on English moncy and acting with the monarchial invaders of France against arepublic of the people, A leading mer- chant of the city of London proposed thas tne people assemble in Palace yard at™the moment wien, if ever, the bombardment of Paris shall commence, and demand action by the British government in behau of that city ana of the French people. REVOLUTIONARY FEELING. The feeling manifested in all qnarters during the night was revolutionary and threatening, and the excitement caused by it among the better classes 18 serious, and will increase the more that the leaders of the opposition are doing their best to foment the feeling in WS¥ch these demonstrations nave their origin. The representations sent to this country as to the effect of the present war upon the condition of the people and the peasantry in France are truly terrible, and they are arousing an indignation here among the newly enfranchised millions, which it will not be safe for any ministry to trifle with. HOOTING DOWN THE PRUSSIAN RMBASS Y, At two o’clock this morning the Prussian embasssy was insulted by a great concourse of people, who appeared before it, with lanterns and banners, groaning and crying, “Down with the Queen’s pensioners!” “Down with the bought butchers!” The police made no attempt to interfere with the crowd, which for a time looked as if it would pro- ceed to violence, but eventually, on the representa- tions of one or two persons seeming to have au- thority over it, dispersed and disappeared, RUSSIAN SOCIALISTS AT WORK. It is an ominoug symptom of those manifesta- tions that in all of them Russian agents, deputed by the powerful secret society of the European socialists, in which Bakounine is the leading spirit, have been active. The working classes in Belgium and in Northern Germany are also rep- resented here; and it is not premature to say that if the existing war goes on in the temper with which Prussia is now conducting it, and for the diplomatic and dynastic objects now avowed by her serious and European convulsions of a sort in nowise agreeable to anticipate will be the inevitable result. In St. Petersburg the Czar has already been obliged to in- terpose his personal authority for the purpose of arresting the drift of the popular feeling against Germany. FRENCH SEIZURES AT SE’. ie German Vessels Coneordia and Lucie. The correspondent of the New YORK HERALD at Rio Janeiro informs us that the two North German vessels the Concordia and Lucie were selzed by the French gunboat Hamelin, cruising off Rio Janeiro. ‘The vessels were alloweu to go into Rio and dis- charge such cargo as they had on board belonging to neutrals, after which the vessels were to ve taken out to sea and destroyed, together with the re mainder of their cargo which belonged to belligerent German owners, The Concordia is @ bark of 426 tons, was built in Dangig in 1858, to which port she velongs, and was owned by A. Gibsone, The Lucie is also a bark of 236 tons, was built in Elepleth, to which port she belongs, and is owned by H. Ramun & Oo. Capture of THE EIGHT HOUR LAW.

Bishop P. N. Lynch, of Charleston, delivered a @barity lecture at Cooper Institute last evening, in aid of the Peor boys’ Lodging House, of 52 Warren street, New York, which 1s under the care of the So- ciety St. Vincent de Paul—subject, “Various sys- tems of Charity.” There was, considering the un- pleasantness of the weather, a large attendance, composed almost entirely of Irish, and the lecture, which was throughout listened to with marked attention, was warmly applauded atthe close, Sey- era | pag ae Roman Catholic clergymen were seated on the platiorm. The Bishop was introduced by Dr, Anderson, and in his opening remarks drew a vivid picture of the gigantic and desperate war now raging between two great nations of Chnstendom, and said that great as the evils entailed by these outbarsts were there are evils in existence among men—equally, f not more disastrous cvilx—of which we take little heed, bat from which arise ignorance, poverty, immoral- ity, death, These evils were common to all coun- tries, and were, even under the high civilization of the nineteenth century, growing in intensity, “The poor we wil} always have witn us.” He pro- posed to speak of one form of these evils—poverty and its attendant dangers and miseries, and of the manuer of the remedy. He then spoke of the dimerences and inequalities which exist among mankind, and inquired how the sorrows and sufferings OL the poorer classes, whose dally life was spoken of in harrowing terms, could be mast esfect- ively alleviated by us. There wes“ nny agencies at this great work bestdes those oliver! a1 is lative, and in the first place he must put forward that of religion, coming from Heaven to bless the chil- dren of nen, and next he would place the sacred innuence of home, The lecturer then spoke of those worse than homeless beings, to whom re- ligion was unknown, who Inhabit the dark places of our great cities, where they pass their miserable lives, and said it was only by a miracle of God's goodness that any virtue shouid be found among Such associations. The question was how tho children reared in such houses could and useful citizens. ‘There were three modes of 1m- parting charity. The frst he would term the eminently Eugiisn plan—that of poorhouses, erected and maintained at public expense—wnich he re- garded as degrading to those who reccived rellef, their mistortune being regarded as something criminal; the second mode of reiteving distress was rsonal charity.

If there is any body of political tricksters in the Empire State who have created more sensations to keep! themselves alive than the gentlemen who assemble at’ the nead quarters corner of Twenty-second street and!
