The Ffiuico-i’i'iiNnimi War. 
One of the noticeable features of the past 
week hnsbeen the active efforts of the English, 
in conjunction with other powers, to effect an 
armistice In the Interest of peace, Russia acting 
not in concert) hut Independently. Count Bls- 
marclc has proposed to Jules Favre a plan for 
an unnlstlee to cover BUfllclent time for holding 
ihe French elections and the meeting of the 
Assembly, all delegates elected to lmvc passos 
through the Prussian lines to Paris; the popula¬ 
tion of Alsaco and Lorraine not to vote or have 
any voice In the crisis. M. Thiers was expected 
to visit Paris, under safe oouduet from Bis¬ 
marck, to confer with the central government 
in aid of the proposed armistice. Up to the 25th 
no result had been reached, and little was ex¬ 
pected. The Tours Government is firm in its 
refusal to enter on any negotiations involving 
surrender of territory. Bisimirck’S constant 
answer to the suggestions made to him respect¬ 
ing peace is, that the election by the French of 
some authorised Government Is an Indispensa¬ 
ble preliminary. 
The Berlin Provincial Correspondence (semi¬ 
official) says:—"On the fuel of armistice little 
hope Is to be founded, ha the French refuse to 
recognize the hopelessness of l.hetr cause. The 
delay in the bombardment, of Paris Is due to 
the imperfect state of our preparations, not to 
political considerations.” 
Military movements continue active. On 
the 21st the French made u sortie at Paris l rotn 
Fortdu Mont Valerian, supported by forty Held 
guns, and were repulsed. The Prussians cap¬ 
tured one hundrod prisoners and two of t.ho 
guns. The German loss was small. 
The Gormans are advancing on A miens, where 
ovary preparation hnsbeen rnttdo to defend the

Gnrlbaldl has arranged bis command, consisting

officers. The French report nn Importantuetlon 
in the forest of llurcourt, where the Germans 
were defeated, with a loss of 100 killed. Froncli 
loss small, the commander being wounded. The 
Germans took 6,000 prisoners at Orleans, and 
nowooenpy tlmt city with 2.'i,iMH) troops and Gnr- 
gcan, near by. They have also bombarded Ver¬ 
non, on the Paris and Havre Railroad. French 
successes are reported near Fontainebleau, Bc- 
snnoon and Ivry, where the entire population— 
men and women -have risen against the Prus¬ 
sians. A desperate struggle had occurred tin re, 
with heavy losses on both sides. It Is also re¬ 
ported t hat the Prussians suffered a. defeat, with 
heavy loss. In the neighborhood of La Forte 
t'alnt Anbiii, and the troops Intending tdego 
there were hastily withdrawn to reinforce their 
beaten army.

ers and 120 camion. The French also made a

garrison at Verdun, but. were repulsed by the 
Wurtomburgere. 
The Bobo (newspaper) of Brussels says that 
3,000 men, with two pieces of artillery, have 
marched from Tblonvlllc for Verdun to relieve 
the troops there. 
The French report a successful sortie nt Ver¬ 
dun on the 24th, preventing bombardment and 
killing large numbers or Germans; also that, two

sent the following dispatch to the Queen at. I 
Berlin. , 
stnnllyupon getting into the boat, it capsized, 
and he lost consciousness. Upon reviving, he 
found himself in the sea, but. graspiug the gun¬ 
wale of tho boat, which hud righted, he suc¬ 
ceeded In getting in the boat a second time, and 
found therein t he dead body of a lady dressed in 
black silk. Mr. McGortluud was tossed about for 
a number of hours, when he was finally picked 
up by the Enterprise, Capt. Gillespie, whooruis- 
ed about tho econo of the disaster for a long 
time, in the hope or saving life and property. 
McGortluud says that almost at the very time of 
l bo disaster, tho passengers and crew were con¬ 
gratulating themselves on a tempestuous voy¬ 
age nearly finished, and rejoicing In the fact 
that In one short hour more they would land at 
Movillc. There were certainly ISO souls ou hoard, 
and perhaps more. 
Later news from London to the 27th ult. says: 
Tho four missing boats of the Cumbria wore 
found, empty, on the Giant's Causeway. No 
trace of the passengers or crew has boon discov¬ 
ered. The stern of the wrecked steamer Cambria 
has drifted ashore at Islay, Scotland. 8o far as is 
known here, there is but one survivor of the dis¬ 
aster- McGortluud. 
The Hurricane in Cuba. 
Correspondence from Cuba brings full par¬ 
ticulars of l he late disaster from wind and rain 
in that Island. It wus bad enough, but not so 
bad as first reports Indicated. The drowned It 
is believed will not.exceed one thousand, instead 
of two thousand, as at first reported. The sea 
seemed precipitated upon the land, and nothing 
could withstand tho shook. Buildings, of what¬ 
ever size or material, trees, railway trains, 
everything that was in tho way, went down be¬ 
fore the mountain of water; even the ground 
was washed nwuy. Graveyards were plowed up 
and tho dead torn from thotr graves and from 
their coffins, were scattered hither and thither. 
At Matunzas and at. Cardenas tho visitation was 
most severe. At latest advices, everything 
within the power of the authorities was boing 
done to relieve the distressed.

I,oks of the SteaniMlilp Cambria, 
Late ou Wednesday evening, Oct. IPHi, word 
reached Londonderry that the Cambria bad been 
wrecked off the const of Donegal, Information 
was brought to that city by the only survivor, 
John McGortluud, a steerage passenger by tho 
ill-fated vessel. The intelligence wusni Hrst dis¬ 
believed, notwithstanding the ve-sol was over¬ 
due. It has since been oonllrmed. Tho tele¬ 
graph lines have been disabled by tho recent 
storms, and McGortland’s narative has just got 
through from Londonderry as follows:- The 
voyage from Now York was generally fortunate, 
notwithstanding unpleasant weather prevailed 
until tho night of Wednesday, the llHb of Octo¬ 
ber, between 10 and II o'clock. The Cambria 
was then under full sail and steaming rapidly. 
Suddenly, when all was apparently going well, 
she struck on Miatraline Island, a small, rocky 
Island ten miles (vest of Donegal, and thirty 
miles west of Londonderry. The vessel instant¬ 
ly began to fill through the large holes stove In 
the hot tom. and Hie tires were soon extinguished. 
It became evident that the steamer was help¬ 
lessly lost, and tho eff orts were therefore direct¬ 
ed to save the lives of tho passengers, who were 
massed upon dock. Four boats, crowded with 
passengers, wero launched mid put off from tho 
sinking steamer. McGortland entered one of 
these, and he saw no more of the ship or tho 0 Gi¬ 
f'' boats. Tho weather was very heavy, and he 
thinks there is no doubt nil the boats wore 
lost, and ho was the only survivor. Almost in- 
Tiik Broekport Republic says “The dealers 
1 in npples hero have purchased so fur 25,000 barrels 
' at prices ranging from £1 to £1.60. There is one 
1 noticeable feature about tho market this fall, 
’ and that, is, the absence of eastern buyers. 
1 Usually they are numerous, hut either they wore 
badly bitten on transactions of last year, or have 
no confidence in tho stability of prices or of 
apples.”
