favor on a moderate republic than on a des- Potism which would stifle freedom of dis- cussion and liberty of the press. COMING CLOSER TO THE REPUBLIC. All the notable conversions to moderate republicanism within recent years ‘have been from the ranks of the liberal wing of the Orleanists, and the more far-seeing of the republican leaders confidently look for- ‘ward to the absorption of the whole party. Gambetta’s recent utterances are generally looked upon as presaging a combination between the Left and the Orleanists, and I have the best authority for saying that the alliance is on the point of consummation. NEGOTIATIONS FOR UNION. Thave just heard from a gentleman hold- ing a high position here and having pe- culiar facilities for obtaining accurate infor- mation that negotiations are actually in Progress between the Orleanists and Gam- betta with a view to perfecting an under- standing upon which the alliance can be based. Gambetta, my informant says, takes apon himself the responsibility of getting the agreement adopted by the Left. If this ‘lliance can be cemented it will create a power perfectly able to baffle all the plots and schemes of the Bonapartists and put an end to the present crisis. Whether Gam- betta can obtain the consent of the extreme ‘radicals to any union with monarchists re- * mains yet to be seen, THE DUO D’AUMALE FOR PRESIDENT. The compact includes the placing of the Duo d’Aumale in the Presidential chair till 1880, the Orleanists’ binding themselves to support the existing organic and parlia- mentary basis of government, The Duc @’Aumale, although the son ot a deposed king, has ever enjoyed a considernble share of popularity in France, and is looked upon as a moderate, well intentioned man, re- markable rather for prudence and common sense than forambition. Of course there will be an outory raised that his Presidency would be equivalent to a regency for his nephew, the Comte de Paris. GRANT AND MACMAHON COMPARED One of the most significant and character- . intic.incidents of the crisis this week isan article, published in La France of to-day, by.Emile de Girardin, under the title of “Les Deux Présidents.” It is written in the famous journalist's peculiar style, and he makes use of the presence of the ex-Presi- dent of the United States to draw a parallel between Grant and MacMahon. GO THOU AND DO LIKEWISE. “Grant,” says Emile de Girardin, ‘‘quit- ted the White House without trying to re- new his lease of power the mpmoent ho understood he was no longer sustained by the popular sentiment." The article con- eludes by asking, ‘‘Why does not MacMa- hon follow Grant’s example and then go travel in America? No matter how much he knows he will always be able to learn something there.” GRANT'S DISTINGUISHED VISITORS. General Grant to-day received the visits of a large number of American residents ond well known Frenchmen. ‘Among the latter was M. Leon Say. M. Orémieux, who was a member of the Government of National Defence during the late war, called on General Grant to- day. : a yanon’s FRANE GENEROSITY, The Mémorial Diplomatique states that President MacMahon, when receiving Gen- eral Grant at the Elysée on Thursday, of- fered to open all the French military estab- lishments to his inspection and to furnish him means of, knowing everything he de- sired concerning French military affairs. ffeneral Grant accepted the offer with thanks. BANQUETS IN PROSPECT. All the French Ministers, except the Min- ister of Marine, have atcepted invitations to meet General Grant at the dinner to be given at the Legation of the United States, A banquet to General Grant by the repub- licans is talked of, but a day has not yet been fixed, ONE STEP HIGHER, It is thought that M. Charles Lepere, Vice President of the last Chamber of Deputies, and an intimate friend of M. Gambetta, will be elected to the presi- dency of the new Chamber, which M. Grévy will probably decline in consequence of his nomination’to the republican leadership, DEATH ON A CANALBOAT, AxBany, Oct, 26, 1877.

ACTIVITY OF THE IMPERIAL GUARD. General Gourko Extinguishes the Last Chance of Escape. THE STRUGGLE IN ARMENIA. [BX CABLE TO THE HEBALD.] Lonpon, Oct. 27, 1877, A Bucharest correspondent gives the following account of Russian operations, derived from @ Russian officer who has just returned from Plevna:—No convoy has succeeded in entering Plevna since General Gourko took command of the cavalry. The investment is now complete. The Imperial Guards, as fast as they arrived, took up postions on the Russian lett, thus gradually pro- lodging the line of investment across the Lovats road to the Sofia road. THE INVANTRY INVESTMENT. “The investment by infantry thus extends from the Roumanian positions northeast of Plevna to the Sofla road on the west. On the west the circle is completed by General Gourko’s cavalry, which can cut off all supplics; but the Russians are every day receiving reinforcements, and there is every appearance that they intend to surround Plevm#a by @ series of works as the Germans did Paris. The Russians will soon have troops enough to complete the infantry investment.’ O8MAN’S GAME UP. The correspondent thinks “there is every reason to believe that Plevna is not victualled sufficiently to stand siege until spring, and that the ap- Pearances are tflat Osman Pacha will attempt, probably unsuccessfully, to fight his way out. I must say now that the question of a second cam-, paign is resolutely faced, and the prospect looks more hopeful for the Russians than at any time since General Krudener’s defeatin July.” + CAGING GHAZI OSMAN, The defeat of the Turks and the establishment of strong Russian force west of Plevna looks like the beginning of a serious attempt to shut Ghazi Osman in his line, and submit Plevna to a regular sloge. General Gourko’s movement seems to have been part of a concerted plan. A portion of the infantry of the Imperial Guard crossed the Vid, between Nicopolis and Pievna, passing around Osman’s left. USING THE IMPERIAL GUARD. General GOurko’s cavalry crossed the Upper Vid, west of Lovatz, swept the Orchanie road, got in communication with the force coming from the North and made a combined attack on the Turks, who were commanded by Hifzi Pacha, the same who took the first convoy into Plevna. Simulta- neously with this attack a heavy cannonade was opened along the entire line on the east of Plevna, and demonstrations were made to give the impres- sion of an intended assault to prevent Ghaz! Osman sending succor to Hitzi Pasha, who ts reported to have been captured, with a large part of his com- mand. A VBRY ABSURD IDEA. The impression prevails that-aince the rocent rains tc Russians, convinced of the impossibility of wintering in Bulgaria, will make a desperate effort to effect the reduction of Plevna and defeat Suletman Pacha's army before retirement into Rou- Mania becomes necessary. Russia would thus stand in the better position should diplomacy inter- ‘ vene during the cessation of operationa, REPORTED JUNCTION OF ISMAIL AND MOUKHTAR, A Constantinople telegram states that a private despatch has been received announcing that Ismail Pacha has effected a junction with Moukhtar Pacha.
