He wishes aid by Austria and Italy to aflect an armistice in order that the election of members of the Constituent Assembly may proceed. He stated that Russia would act in the same direction. The Government has not yet returned any formal reply.

The journals of Lyons demand an immediate adoption of vigorous defensive measures. They say that the Prussians seem to be turning back from other strong places, and may march direct upon Ly ons. The forts and delences of the latter city are ready, but there is a lack of experienced gunners. A large number of these have been sent forward from Toil I on for Lyons.

The answer of Gambetia was that the Council should do nothing about it without the concurrence of li:e Government at Paris. It is understood that preparations for national defense -re now so great that the Government v.

.li

not ac

cept terms of peace save upon a liberal ba.-is. At Paris the determination is also evident to make a defense to the last, unless honorable terms of poace can be obtained.

The Prussians have been hastily sending towards Paris enormous quantities of cattle and sheep and large supplies of forage.

TOVRP, Oct. 22.—Instances of the extreme cruelty practiced upon the FrancTircurs by the Prussians are related from all parts of the country. This only serves to render the latter more desperate, and determined to take no prisoners.

LOXDOX, Oct. 22.—The Iron .-.hip, Hecuba, Captain "Walker, which left Calcutta on the 1st of July last for New York, with a general cargo of SO,000 pounds sterling, foundered on a sunken rock in Struys Bay on the 13th of September.

The barrels, with their contents, were placed on the old Barracks and sunk in the river.

London papers publish reports, made by deserters from Metz, that Bazaine was dead, that Canrobert was in command, and hunger and pestilence prevailed in the city. The stories are generally discredited. At Berlin, however, the capitulation of Bazaine is hourly expected. It now- seems that the overtures recently made, looking to a surrender, referred only to the trsops which had refuged at Metz, and not to the garrison or city.

It is reported that the North German sovereigns have been convoked at Versailles to declare King William Emperor of Germany.

A telegram to the Manchester Guardian, dated Tours, to-dav, savs that an armistice for a month has bcen agreed upon, in order that the elections may proceed.

Deserters from Metz are constantly arriving at Berlin. King Leopold has given fifty thousand francs in aid of the German wounded.

THE CAMBRIA

Particulars of Voyage and Wreck.

LOXDON, Oct. 22.—The total loss of the steamship Cambria, which was yesterday rumored, is fully confirmed by later despatches and there is little to give hope that the passengers who had taken to the beats, have escaped. The coast is a very dangerous one, and it is evident from'the upsetting of the one boat from which a single survivor of the wreck was picked up, that the sea was very rough at the time of the disaster. Nevertheless those who had friends on board need not be in haste to imagine the worst. The coast is admirably guarded by expert and adventurous men and it is not impossible that if the boats were driven ashore some of the passengers were saved.

Other less fatal, but still serious marine losses are reported this morning, many of them on our own coasts. The late gales were everywhere dangerous and we may expect to hear, for several days, of serious wrecks along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts.

The Cambria was considered in sound condition and has ever been regarded as the finest vessel on any of the ocean lines. She was but recently rebuilt thoroughly of iron and in every way prepared for the severest contests with wind or wave.

Captain Cannaghan, the commander of the Cambria during this ill-fated voyage, was one of the most experienced and skillful naval.officers vbiting this port, he lias been in command of vessels of the Anchor Line for several years and was thoroughly conversant with the naviga lion of the trans-Atlantic route to Glasgow.

A RATION FROM A PASSENGER.

LONDON, Oct. 22.—Late on Wednesday evening, word reached Londonderry that the Cambria, of the Anchor Line, habeen wrecked off the coast of Dwe-g-i The information was brought to 11, city by the only survivor, John McG.n tland, a steerage passenger. The intelligence was at first disbelieved but has since been confirmed. The telegraph lines lias been disarranged by the recent storms so that the following summary of McGartland's narrative has just gotten through from Londonderry. The vovage from New York was generally fortunate, notwithstanding unplersant weather prevailed most of the time, until the night of Wednesday, Oct. 9, between ten and eleven o'clock. The Cambria was then under sail and steaming rapidly suddenly when all was apparently going well, she struck on Mistraline Island, a small rocky island ten miles west of Dwegal and thirty west of Londonderry. The vessel instantly began to fill through large holes stove in the bottom and the fires were soon extinguished. It soon became evident that the steamer was hopelessly wrecked, and efforts were therefore directed to save the lives of the passengers, who were massed upon the deck. Four boats, crowded with passengers, were launched and put off from the sinking steamer. McGartland entered one of these, and he saw no more of the ship or other boats, lie thinks there is no donbt but that all the boats were swamped and that he is the only survivor. Almost instantly upon getting into the boat it capsized and he lost consciousnes. Upon reviving, he found himself in the sea, but. grasping the gunwale of the boat, which had righted, lie succeeded in getting in the second time and found therein the dead body of a lady, dressed in black silk. Mr. McGartland was tossed about many hours, when he was picked up by the Enterprise, Capt. Gillespie, who cruised about the scene of the disaster for a long time, in hope of saving life and property. McGartland says at almost the very time of the disaster, the passengers and crew were congratulating themselves that the lempestous voyage was nearly finished, and rejoicing, in fact, that in one short hour more they would land at Moville. There were certainly one hundred and eighty souls on board and perhaps more.

LATER.

LONDERRY, Oct. 22. MIDNIGHT.— Vessels jnst returning from the scene of the Cambria disaster, in the north channel, report that they discovered only a lot of broken spars and a few barrels of flour, which formed a part of her cargo. Nothing has yet been heard of the small boats which put out from the Cambria when she struck. Hope for their safety has not been entirely abandoned by McGartland. Jleports that the wind was little short of a hurricane that prevailed at the time, which it would be miraculous for such a small craft to weather.

STILL LATER.

LOXDOXDERRY, Oct. 22.—Careful examination of the coast and waters for miles around the scene of the Cambria disaster, bv the liver steamers, fail to discover any traces of missing boats from the Cambria.

THE KOSS.

GREXOCK, Oct. 22.—Captain Chen noworth, of the steamer Ross, reports that they passed through much wrecked matter off the northern coast of Ireland. Among the debris were portions of the cargo of the Cambria and fragments of her smali boats.

K. Kinkel's tobacco factory, Dumont's boiler yard, and several her buildings. The buildings, generally, were of little value, and as a rule, the stock and fixtures not worth much. Total loss not over forty thousand dollars.

THE"SLEEPIXG BEAUTY."

Some days ago a committee appointed by the St. Louis Medical Society, to examine and report upon the condition of Susan C. Goodsey, better known as the Sleeping Beauty, pronounced her case one of collusion and said that Susan was a humbug.

The Republican h:u a communication from N. N. Cowgill, Rector of St. Pauls Episcopal Church at Hickman, Ky., near the residence of the Goodsey family, stating that the writer has been personally acquainted with the family upwards of twenty years, and knows by personal knowledge, that there is no collusion in the case and that the girl, during the period indicated, has always been in her present condition. Appended to the leverend gentleman's communication, under the words, "we the undersigned concur in the above," are the signatures of over twenty persons, including Judges, Clergymen, editors, lawyers, notaries and merchants. In several cases references are given by the parties signing, to some of our best known men. There is some curiosity to know whether the medical committee will notice the communication, especially as conclusions they readied were not consistent with the general statements of their reports.

In violating their pledges of general amnesty, on which pledges, troops were permittee! to enter the country unmolested and then commenced a course of violence.

The memorial recalls the fact that the troops were permitted to pass through American waters on pretense that they were on a mission of peace: recounts the outrages indicted on the Red River people perfidy of the Canadian government and general discontent of the inhabitants.

CIXCIXXATI, Oct. 23.— At a meeting of the Commissioners from the Chambers of Commerce, Board ol" Trade and Common Council at the Merchants exchange yesterdy evening, a general enterchange of opinion in regard to the Newport and Cincinnati bridge took place.

A resolution declaring in lavor of bridging the Ohio, but asserting the belief that it can be done without materially obstructing navigation and that Congress would pemit only this character of bridges to be built, was adopted unanimously.

They also declared it to be their opinion that the bridge in process of construction between Newport and Cincinnati, will not only materially obstruct, but will also largely destroy navigation of the river, and its construction should bo prevented without delay.

A resolution was finally adopted providing for the appointment of a committee to request the Secretary of War to immediately appoint a commission of L'nited States engineers to examine and report on this bridge—whether or not its completement, as at present proposed, will not materially obstruct the navigation of the Ohio river. John D. Minor and Captain Kyle were appointed as said committee. A committee was also appointed to wait on llie Bridge Company and ask them if they will not modify the plans.
