Owing to (ho disastrous results to tho. Prussians iu tho late engagements discord reigns in the Prussian camp. The Prince | Koyal t?f Prussia- t ho '? Fritz" mentioned j in King William's dispatches ? is at open war with the Prince Frederick Charles, his cousin. Fritz is in command rather by. right of hirlh than l?v right of conquests, . and i* accompanied during his campaign hy \ a milit;trv mentor. who?e duty it is to pro- j vent fatal mistakes. Tins precaution, it, appears, has proved insufficient. hritz is endowed with a large share of vanity, and i- \vr\ head-strong. so that all the rotnon ? trance* of his ad visors could not prevent him from taking upon himself tho initia- j live in the late' onward movement of the army. Piinco Frederick Chnrlos is, on tho eon i r.try. a distinguished commander? a vorifa t lc Strategist of the lirst order. lie, there fore. complained bitterly ot the ill-advised :?,t tempt of the Prince Koyal to change his position, and accuses him of having com promised the success ol tho whole campaign l>\ iii- absurd desire of reserving for him self alone the glory of having beaten the French army. King William is very much b-turi'cd by those distentions, and finds it to decide between his son and his :ou?in. the latter one ot his best Generals. Parts letter ? Xexr York Tribune.

Edmund About, corresponding with the Parisian journal I.e Soiry amid tho sad de tails ot French defeat chronicles one joke, one pun. Ii appears that the Prussian sol diers use no tents. To a French soldier somebody prollerod the consolation : "You at least have tents?" Youz avez den tent es. Now. the word tenie is pronounced the same as the word tunt>\ which moans an aunt. This similarity prompts the reply of the soldier, who says or is made to say, "Tantes! (aunts !) indeed: it is the uncle we want." Such is the hit of the French soldier or the French journalist at the nephew of his uncle. Yii iorSejoiir.au American citizen, has demanded to be naturalized, so that he may enlist for the defence of Paris. DAMAGE TO STB ASI'.OFP.G. A special correspondent telegraphs tVom Frankfort Monday night : "Groat damage ha* been done to Strasbourg ; the principal streets are in ruins : shells fell on the roof of a Catholic girls' school and killed seven and wounded four. After the oiler of an armistice was rejected, and the Gorman tl.ig of truce was tired on. the bombardment was renewed with increased vigor. The (all of the city is imminent.'' The same correspondent telegraphs from Carisruhe on Tuesday niiiht : " The inhabi tants who have j ust escaped from Stras bourg report dieadtul su lie ring." Most ot i ho peopki spend the nights in the cellar*. Potatoes are twenty francs per pound, and other things in proportion. Horse ll si) is the only meat.

Their losses are .-till trilling, one hundred <?()? p lunders were placed in position lately, flie cathedral is slightly injured. Rain has been fading for several days. A meeting of all the. families of the Bona parte-. has been invited by their present chief in tiie French capital for some pur pose a- yet inexplicable. Kvcii Jerome, of Madame Patterson, is reported to have had i.i- card. Cardinal Bonaparte is deal to the call, and refused to <piit Home under any circumstance-. Letters tVom Paris, from persons about the c.mpress, describe her 3I:ije*ty as p:?:i foliv ch'an d and worn, she has scarcely slept fir two hours at a time, and i* unre mitting in h'*r attention to public affairs.

Kye- witnesses ot the battle of Wissem l.ouVj stale that the Prussian infantry seek particularly tit pick oil' the enemy's officers, for wh in i >ur practiced marksmen to the ri_'ht ofeai h Prussian platoon are specially ins; met ed to reserve their lire.

A report prevailed in Belfast that some French agents had visited tho town lately tor tic purpose of enlisting Irish recruits for t he French army. Among the dead at Speoheren were found two Sisters of Mercy. The outrages committed bv the Turcos are so horrid that the German troops are generally disinclined to spare those who fall into their hands. The Paris Government, it is said, does not mean to stand a siege, but the people do. There are two good and sufficient rea sons why there will be no attempt at the defence "of the French capital. In the first place, it could end only in the slaughter of the defenders, unorganized for defence. In j tin- second place, the Government dares I not arm the Parisians. That wouid cer tainly end in revolution, and might possi bly result in the slaughter of the Govern ment. Napoleon III. is said to have replied in I sr.fi, w hen Austria asked for aid, that he "could not ally himself with a corpse." General Moltke is reported to have said : 44 If the fcinperor Napoleon is not on the Rhine on the 21st of duly, he will never see it." It is needless to add he was not.

The Indcpcndance llrl'jc, of Brussels, vesterday says that while MacMahon w us on the heights of Vaux on Tuesday ad vancing upon Montmedy he was attacked bv the' German armv and Hung back with dreadful carnage. This corresponds with the action near Beaumont, which was re i ported last night. This region of country I is absolutely depopulated. LATER. No additional details of MacMahon' s de feat have yet been received. THE S1ME BATTLE. Bouillon, Belgium, August 31?7 P. M A tearful battle was fought yesterday and to-day. Yesterday morning MacMahon commenced a general movement towards Montmedy. He was attacked near Beau mont and* driven, after a stubborn resist ance, towards the Belgian frontier, the Prussians capturing a large amount of ?camp stores. They drove the French from position to position until darkness ended the conflict. The battle was renewed early this morning and continued during the en tire day. During the night a large number of French reinforcements came up, but failed to turn the scale of victory. The Prus sians, who had also been heavily reiolorcco, attacked in overwhelming numbers. Mac Mahon retreated to Sedan with the rem nant of his force. The slaughter was im mense, and it is impossible now to estimate the losses. The population are flying in great terror. The Prince Imperial is said To be in Belgium. 'l-UE LAST OF THE NOON D1SP ATCHES THE NEWS OF THE BATTLE CONFIRMED.

Paris, September 1. ? Minister W ash burne contradicts the report that vessels are leaving United States ports to prey on the French merchant and naval vessels. FRENCH REPORTS? NO NEWS OF THE GREAT BATTI.E IN PARIS. P kri*, September 1. ? There is no news of the decisive battle reported yesterday, nor is it believed that one has been fought. Marshal MacMahon simply telegraphs that he lias crossed the river Meuse without having been harassed. ( q her accounts say there has been heav} fr 'lit iir_' between detached parties oi Mac Ma hon's and Prince Charles's armies with alternate advantages. CONFLICTING REPORTS ? TnE DEFENCE OF TARIS. London, September 1?3 o Clock P. M.? \n unofficial rumor says that MacMahon i> crossing the Meu<e at Stenay, and is push in" for Montmedv, where he has six hun dred "uus. A collision between him and Prince Frederick Charles is expected. The Garde Mobile, on a new requisition tor 100,000, are hurrying to the deienec of the capital. The press of Paris admits the spurioiisness of the dispatches purporting to come trom Marshal Bazaine. Should the French Emperor cross the frontier, the Belgians will demand his sword. . , . i ? vilher severe orders have been issued foi the purpose of guaranteeing Belgian neii tralitv. CONFUSION WORSE CONFOUNDED. Berlin, September 1.? The telegraph lines are still in inextricable confusion. The dispatches dated from the seat of war? par ticularly from Beaumont? require verifica tion. FURTHER FROM TARIS. Paris, September 1.? The exportation ol era in has lie en imperatively forbidden. At Marseilles a legion of 4,000 naturalized Germans has been organized to join the French army. . . Immense quantities of provisions have been sent from Marseilles to Paris. i he Diplomatic Corps have no idea of leaving Paris with the other membersof the Government, inasmuch as the Lmprcss, who is Kegent, remains, and neutral Powers unist acknowledge the regency. BELHICM. Arlon, September 1.? Serious lighting is reported to-day between Armigay and Dorsec. , ? . . . in 'I he Trus-ians entered Conquion at 10 o'clock yesterday. London, September 1. ? It is said that MucMalion disobeved the orders of Napo leon and detached 30,000 troops to protect the Prince Imperial. The siege of Strasbourg continues. Great slaughter is occasioned by its vigorous bom bardment. NIGHT DISPATCHES. London. September 1.? A large body of French Gardes Mobile passed the Khine near Bellenger, twenty miles uorth of Basle, cut the telegraph wires, and retired. The Prussians have taken precautions against such enterprises hereafter. It is reported here ttiat three army corps have entered France from Baden. Paris, September 1.? The Corps Legisla tif is engaged in denunciations of the Prus sian barbarities, and of laudations of French endurance at the siege of Strasbourg. La Gaulois says that last night Marshal Baraguey de lfillyers assured a club that a battle occurred at Conllers, resulting in a great French victory. Thirty thousand Prussians were placed horn du combat. A large convov of prisoners and baggage were captured by the French. 1 he Journal des Debats says that the wa"ons and seventy-nine horses belonging j to the Crown Prince were captured near I Chalons. | \V ashinoton, September 1.? There is no thing ottieial from the Peat of war since ! Kina William's dispatch, ot which the lol i lowing is a full copy : " Viircnnes, August 31).?' WTe had yestcr dav a victorious engagement.

Ben Twelve guns and several thousand 1 prisoners and mueh material of war are in our hands. 1 repair to the battle-field to i pursue the rout and to victory. God bless us further. ? [Signed] William. Paris, Saptembcr 1.? The combined movements of Bazaine and MacMahon have been most successful. Strategic plans have been well devised, promptly executed, ! and directed to all weak points of the The victory of the French at Course llos1 is lmportantf as maintaining prestige agalnrt numbers. Confidence Is entirely reKtorcd, and asiegu is ridiculed. A dispatch received to-day from a corre spondent or the Daily Times on Prussian affairs represents that discouragement is on the incrrasc, and the cry of "On to Paris" j is daily becoming fainter. Deaths from ex- ! posure and disease are making fearful havoc in the Prussian ranks. La Monitcur declares' positively that the battle of Courselles was a decided victory for Bazaine. The Prince Imperial remains at Varennes. THE BOMBARDMENT OF STRASBOURG. Paris. September 1.? The commander of; Strasbourg announces the determination of the people to burn the city rather than sur- ! render. The Prussians have refused the j appeal lately made by the citizens to spare \ the portion "of the city where the dwellings are located on the ground that it would defer the capitulation. The same object dictated the refusal to permit the women and children to leave the city. General Mntleringo, who was distin guished in the Crimean and Italian wars, has been appoiuted to the command of the Parisian .National Guard in the place of General De Trail marre. DEATH BATHER THAN SURRENDER. Strasbourg letters continue to complain of the Prussians for firing on dwelling houses. In the quarter of the city which has been destroyed the inhabitants clamor Death rather than surrender." The be siegers employ prisoners in the entrench ments of Strasbourg. Its citizens' garrison is a theme of praise everywhere. The Bishop has urged the commander to hold out until the last prayer has been uttered, then retire to the citadel, and raze the city rather than let in the enemy. It is said that 200,000 Prussians have been killed and disabled since the war begun. DETERMINATION TO RESIST TO THE LAST. The citizens and officials of Lille have determined to defend the walls with the same spirit which was displayed at Avernes, Cambria, Donai, Dunkerque, Valenciennes, and Grarchnis, where the patriotic memo ries of '02 are reviving. SHIRKERS TO BE PUNISHED. La Monitcur demands that municipal officers abandoning their posts shall be punished. FRENCH REPORTS OF THE RECENT BATTLES. La Liber tic says the Government has re ceived no official dispatches in consequence of the interruption of the telegraph lines between Sedan and Jlezieres ; but it is cer tain that battles were fought on Tuesday and Wednesday. The tir.?t was a surprise, whiNi resnlted'in a partial panic in the corps of General Failley, who still commanded. There were also separate and detached con flicts, the troops displaying great heroism ; but there was a lack "of unity during the engagement. and the Prussians claim a vic tory. ^ In the battle of yesterday there is no question hut that MacMahon had great suc cesses against the troops of both Princes. Bazaine was not engaged yesterday, but it is known Bazaine continues the work to d iv so energetically begun by MacJlahon. Vinery's corps passed through Paris and reached the battle-field yesterday, and is doubtless lighting now. TIME AND THE PEOPLE WILL SAVE FRANCE. .New York, September 1.? A special to the Tribune from Paris, dated Wednesday, ?ays that the distrust between the Govern ment and the people is much diminished. Time is the great ally of the French. A week since the Crown Prince ought to have ridden into Paris. To-day the de fences are stronger, the moral condition of its defenders still more improved, and it only need to trust in the people to make Paris and France safe. ANOTHER REPORTED PRUSSIAN VICTORY. London, September 1.? The Standard has a special dated Florenville, Belgium, Thursday morning, which says the French have been badly beaten on the Sedan road. The Prussians entered Oarignan, a few miles southwest of Florenville. There was furiou- lighting all day Wednesday between Armiguy ami Douzy. THE FRENCH CLAIM A VICTORY AND ACKNOW LEDGE A DEFEAT.
