The Transatlantic mail steamship Lafayette, from Havre the 20th, Southampton the 22d, and Brest the ‘24th of October, arrived at this port yesterday after- noon, The extra Cunard mail steamship Batavia, from- Liverpool and Queenstown, also arrived here yes- terday. The Roumantan government set at rest some very disquieting rumors, These consisted in reports of a proposed Russian occupation of the Danublan Prinel- palities, and of an alieged proposal of Prussia to compensate Austria for the cession of the Austrian German provinces by the annexation of Roumania ‘to that power, all which are denied. Mr. Lopez, member of Parliament, addressing his constituents at Lancaster, opposed the intervention ‘by England in the war, but stroagly advocated me- dilation, The Earl of Onslow, oldest member of the Honse ‘of Lords, died, aged ninety-tnree.

The United States frigate Franklin, under the com- mand of Captain Rogers, with tae fag of Rear Ad- mural Gleasen, has completed ner repairs and hanled off from Portsmouth dockyard and is now at Spit- head ready to proceed to sea, The oMlcers and crew of the Franklin carry with them the warmest feelings ‘of thelr British cousins, and itis @ general remark at our great naval port that it 1s many years since a foreign man-of-war (if the Franklin can come under ‘that denomination, as her ofticers have proved them- selves such nen of peace and hospitality) bas be- come so popular with us, The late Commanier-in-Chief of the British North American and West indian squadron, Vice Admiral | G.

IRELAND. The Royal Marringe Question—Love und the Princes—Wants an Imperial splurge—A Prince for Lord Lieuteuant—Prince Patrick Very Popular—Tho Ladies, “(iod Bless ?Em +? Doerr, Oct, 1870. In fashionable circles here the all-absorbving topic of conversation is the approaching marriage of her Royal dighness the Princess Louise with the Mar- quis of Lorne. All are in raptures aboutit. They admire the “pluck,” if 1 may so call it, and the disinterestedness of the Princess m consenting to an alliance 80 excepUonal; and thoy admire the courage of the Queen in setting aside a rule which condemned go many of the fair daughters of Englani to exile In | the courts of the pettyGerman princes. It la, they say, astep in the right direction, and such, nodouvt, it will be considered by all sensible men, It removes that superstition which so long hedged round royalty; it brings the nobility a step nearer to the throne; and it is a stride in the democratic ditrec- tion too great and too tmportant to be overlooked. The cruel and absurd rule which obliged a member | of the royal family of England either to ma) for- eigner or not to marry at all was the work ofa German prince, Itis now most wisely abrogated by Queen Victoria.

French ambition has no existence, and the manifest desire of France is for peace. He pointsto the entitusiasm of tone all over France to prove that she can carry on the war, and calls upon the neu- tral Powers to declare that they will not recognize any extravagant demands aud not sanction a false and precarious peace. GERMANY AND BRITAIN. e = German Feeling Toward Eualand. A correspondent of the London Times, writing from Germany, says the tone of feeling in that coun- try is (October 26) very hostile to England, He says the German public ts being prepared for the extit- bition of a sttil more determined hostility toward England, and of friendship toward Russia, when at the close of the war in France, if hot before, Russia take from ‘bur- key her reward for her present attitude of neutrality, He asserts that a secret understand ing to this etfect exists between Russia and Prassia and afvises Kugiand to make friends with the for- mer by obviatlug a collision on the Eastern ques- tion, It was to prevent Kussia joining with Eug- land for the restoration of peace on terms favorable to France that the understanding was promoted by Prussla, but the correspondent things thatit is not of such @ nature ag irrevocably to prevent Russta from withdrawing from it in return for certain privie leges withdrawn from her in 1865, International Dutles and Rights—North- German Official Opinion, Another interesting document connected witn the war and just divuiged is a clroular note of the North-German Foreign Office on certain breaches of international law alleged to have beeen commitied in the war:— BERLIN, Oct. 1, 1870. In the sitting of the Corps Législatif of Septem- ber 1 the thea Minister of Foreigo Adairs, Prince Latour d'Auvergne, read two circulars in which the German troops Were charged with sundry violations the Prince went on, red explosive rife bullets, compelled peasants from the environs of Strasbourg to work in the trenches, exposed to the fire of the fortress, and deceitiully marked provision, amnu- nition and money wagons with the red cross of the } Geneva Convention, Nay, oue Prassian soldier had killed @ French doctor while he was dressing its wounds, However lirialy convinced I was of the tn us- tice of these accusations, yet, considering the name appearing wader the notes in question, | would uot contiue myself ty the mere assertion that such things were impossible, but have caused Inquiries to be tne stitated whether anything has happened which by unrelible or malicious persons could be distorted into the alleged enormines. These inquiries were very diticult, the assertions of the French Minister, both with regard to detall aud authentic testimony, being preferred In such vague terms «as ure rarely met with in official utterances of a serious na- ture. in no instance did be make & Complete state- Ment reapecting hames, tine and locahty. in most cases the only proof alleged was the notoriety of the thing—or, in other words, the fact of its having beeu related in the French press—a press on whose | gaustude ® peace favorable to the Napoleonl’ dynasty | veracity it would be uacless to lose a Word. Two or ab In accordance with the true interasts of eonnty. s, tose refer sive 3 There is, then, no particle of trath in the Cries | LIS Charges, tiose r. ferring to explosive bullets and the employment of peasants in the trencies, are, m- deed, supported, as ie says, by the vestimony of in- dividual witnesses, Yet in neither case has he vouctsafed us the names of his witnesses, or ite ex- act contents of their evidence, ‘The inquiries 1 have caused to be set on foot have led to the dis- covery of one single circumstance which, misstated and perverted, may have given rise to complaint, Jt is perfectly true thatthe Baron de Bussiere was arrested, and that he had something to do with the tending of the wounded, The arrest, however, did not occur 10 the ambuiance ttseif, aud it was occa- sioned by the suspicion that he kept up intercours with the garrison 11 Strasbourg. Like his subse. quent detention, the arrest was executed with the regard due to his position and his reputa- tion a8 & man of honor, How long the Ineasures taken agaiust hit were to last could be decided ouly on snilitary grounds. As to the otner assertions of the two circuiars, Lam compelled to declare that they are mere inventions. It remains to be seen whetuer the French government will recognize the duty devoiving upon it of substantiat- ing the accusations preferred, and whether it will do so ina manner which, alter our ample experi- ence respecting the trustworthiness of French ot. man troops, and iat explosive rifle bullets, less than four hundred grammes im weight, do aot exist im the German army. I cannot, however, but advert to the numerous and perfectly authenticated facts, of the most asiOulshing ature, proving beyond doubt that the French government—which, as Prince Latour rightly observes, took such an earnest interest in the copclusion of the Geneva Convention— j has not carried out this convention, ‘The German | doctors wao, after the baitie of Wissembourg, In the lazarettes under the superintendence of the Physt- clans General Wilms and Boger, Wweated the French wounded, soon perceived that the jatter were totally ignorant of the signification of the white band with the red cross. Head surgeons of the French, arm: who subsequently came Lo these lazareties to loc alter their countrymen, distinctly assured Prince Putbus, the delegate of the Jobannites, that the French War Office had neither supplied their mili- tary surgeons with wese bands uor directed them to put them on. ‘The said head surgeons had been obliged to improvise bands out of the first ma- terial at hand. Again, captive French officers have unanimously stave eva Convention, and the rules prescribed by 1t respecting the treat. | mei physicians and wounded, are French army; and yet the French gov ment Were under a twofold oviigauon to acquaint their troops with these stipulations.

I shail take another occasion to prove, by official evidence, the evil results of the negligence of the French goveruineat on this hand. Alter all { have said, the two circulars of August 3) appear to have no other object than to meet our protest of August 26, touching the Magrant violation | of of truce, a4 Well a8 Lhe other protests which the French must have known might be justiy brought against their conduct in the field.

Oct. 22, 1870, We have ascertained through Captain Chenowell, Of the steamship Kose, Whicu arrived this morning at ‘nock, from Portrush, that during the after- noon aud evening of yesterday great quanuties of | wreck lad been washed ashoré aloug the strand Tom Portrush fo the Giaut’s Causeway. ‘Ine wreck Included part of a lifeboat, wht dashed to pseces among the rock quantity ote Oitings, # iiteboat fenagr, the breasivouwrd of a p senger's birth, with #27 painted ou it, grailnws, hatches, pigeon boxes and a large qnantity of apples. ‘The apples strewed the shore (or miles aid were of @ fine quality.

All hopes centre in the possibility of the survivors being found at some part of Lae adjacent Irish Coast, or in the neighborhood of Ising or Kintyre, For though the man McGarthland js ready to aiirm that he alove survives to tell the story of the wreck, It is evident from his own narrative that bis recoliections of the disaster are of the most indistiuet kind, ‘The boatin which he embarked was qulekly capsized, and, When he rose, lalf stunned by Lhe Waves, le was enveloped in a darkness Which hid even the Cambria from view, and surrounded by tie noise of the tern Pest, Bo great us Lo drown the Voices of Lose Who nay Nave beeu very near. The hope that there are oller survivors is sirengihened by vne fact. In the frst reports received of the disaster It Was stated that Captain Gillespie, of the steamshtp Muterprise, who picked up MeGarthiand, bad put his ship avout, wit the view of searching for Lhe other boats. ‘The cap- tain hinself dectares that he did pot put bis ship about, but contented bimsell witu a cursory view of me in the immediate vieinity of the rescued boat.

The reports of the captains were, thereiore, Awaited wilh some iuterest, bul all unhappily proved: disappointing.
