The non-arrival of the China steamer has delayed the departure of the Australian steamor. Captain Gilmore returns to Mel bourne, since there is no prospect of England being involved in the war. The Australian of 3 600 tons, arrived through the Suez Canal for China. By the Suez line £5 reduction has been made in tbe Peninsular and Oriental passenger rates, but this does not affect Australia.

A more cheerful feeling is evinced as to business in the prospect of peace. Serious losses in the cotton market have been made, rind hlflre or expected.

LATE TELEGRAMS.

Neuf Brisaco is invested by 5000 Badeners, A sortie made on the 16th was repulsed. In tho successful sortie on the 20th, two hun dred Germans were killed, and 2400 prisoners and 120 guns were taken with Schelstadt on the 24th. An Army corps occupied Epinal on the 10th, and advanced to Vesoul on the 18th. Severe fighting took place on the 22nd, when the French were driven back to Besanoon; 18 officers and 200 men captured. Lyons is provisioned for a two months' siege, but the extreme party there is giving trouble.

Soveral Prussian earthworks were destroyed on the 13th.

Advices from Versailles state that the French drove the Prussian outposts on the 28th to St. Denis, occupying the position with a considerable force. Tbe Prussians re took it on the 30th, after a brilliant fight, in which they captured 30 officers and 1200 prisoners. The losses on both sfdes were heavy. When the capitulation of Metz was known by the inhabitants they were furious, the National Guards refusing at first to surrender their arm*. Bazaine has gone to Wilhelm shohe. The populace hooted and attacked his carriage. Six thousand Prussians left Metz to beseige Logny. It is rumoured that negotiations are taking pace for the restora ion of the Empress, the object being to conclude peace with a legally formed Government. It is stated that the Empress refuses to become a party to the ne gotiations.

ENGLISH MAIL.

Fkoh tho papers to the Bth October, we collate the following. Much of the detail of the news, has been anticipated by full telegrap hic messages via Atlantic Cable receired by the Californian Mail:— THE SURRENDER OF STRASBL'RG. By the last account from the scone of operations we learn that the surrender of Strasburg gave the Germans as prisoneis 100 officers and 17,150 men. The 34th Regiment entered the city at 5 o'clock on September 27, immediately after the display of the white flag from the citadel and cathpdral. The next day a Baden regiment entered from Mundelsheim. Tbe 4th Rhine Regiment from Ruprecntsau and the 4th Pomeranian Regiment take charge of the prisoners. Kehl, which was entirely deserted is now crowd .il with Strasburgers wanting to return, but not yet permitted. A flying bridge will be established between Kehl and Strasburg. The railway bridge is slightly damaged, and is being repaired. In Kehl the railway-station in the main street has beenjentirely destroyed. Many of the late inhabitants are unable to recognise the foundation of their houses. In Strasburg the cathedral is much injured, the library, theatre, railway-station are burnt, and many private houses partly burut. The streets are full of mattresses and bags of straw just removed from the windows. The popula tion has not suffered much from want of food, but many are ill from anxiety and coniinement. The gates are now besieged by Strasburgers seeking re admission. 'J ho breach in the Citadel wall, sixty feet wide, is just opposite the lunette f>2. General Werder, on meeting General Uirich, embraced him. -Clinch bad held out until threatened with assult and a geinral bombardment. His position warn uttrrly untenable. Trains run regularly to Feb], within half-a-mile of tbe old station, and in a few days, the railway bridge being repaired, Strasburg will be in communication with the German lines.

BY BALLOON POST.—PLAN OF ATTACK ON PARIS.

A correspondent says: '* I am going to send off this letter by tho balloon post, for to such poor efforts for conununicuiion lis' the capital of civilisation come, in spite of postal systems, railways, and electricity. In fact, France is paralysed and Bisinarc-ked from Calais to Corel. On September 28th began the limited supply of inoat —oOi) oxen and 10,000 sheep. •At 5 a.m. there was a queue at Duval's, the great butcher in the Hue Tronchet, which had to bo ko-_t in lino by National Guards, as men were fightiii!,' and women fainting in the ranks. At 7 a.m. there was not a scrap of meat to be had. We must pray that no famine panic arises, as that would mean street riots, which, signalled to St, Oloud by his numerous spies, would b:*- the opportunity for which the Crown Prince is waiting. A council of war was held on i -f^tembcr 27 at St. Cloud. French oflicer-- believe in three sudden and simultaneous t.ttacks on St. Quen, Montronge, or Pout dv Jour, and St. Denis. The Mobiles are iin ] roviug wonderfully, and the National-Mo jiie army, of 150,000 ate anxio s to lake the held end assume the •■cgresaive. They had belter leave that alone. Rehind walls', ' Yes, yes ;' in the open, ' No.' And tne generals ? "'The same day there was a great "ahum. At 11 a.m. Paris was covered with a dense black J

cloud. Of course the Prussians were burning the city. It was the ignition by some enemy of a depot of 10,000 casks of petroleum stored neaf the powder magazine at the Buttes de ChaumO'nt. fiOOO casks Were destroyed. The ' .Private Correspondence' is interesting and pi-ovcS thoft Poi'si'gny and Pietri have seen the dangers Of the Empire for a long time. There is a curious lettt'i" from General Ducrot to General Trochu, dated 1860, pointing out that Prussia had 600,000 men and 1200 can nons, while France could not raise 300,000 men and 600 guns. In 1867 Persigny points ' o'tit that tshe Empire seems to be crumbling to pieces ; and ihste is an interesting ietter, dated July 18th, 186®,- from the Queen of Holland to M. Andre, a Duttffnran, whom Persigny took as his chef de cabinet.- The Bellengen scandal is not yet mentioned. Our position to-day may be thus summed up : Great confidence in the troops ; great hopes that no political differences will arise while the onemy is under the walls ; some fear that Republican soldiers will resist necessary discipline; a slight, but I fear, increasing dread of famine ; and a perfect conviction that a civil war will follow peace, victory or defeat. England is hated, and a stranger would be hardly safe.

RUMOURED SCHEME TO RE ESTABLISH THE EMPEROR.

Tbe King of Prussia, a correspondent says, is fully believed to be now in league with Louis Napoleon, the Taciturn, to reimpose him, or his son, upon the Jb'rench nation, the first act of which would be his abdication in favour of the young lad, who picked up buliets at Saarbruek, and made old soldiers weep to sec him so cool. If this be the policy in view —which one can hardly believe of so cool a hand as Count Bismark —th# whole tenor of public opinion iv Paris, which it is very simple business to chronicle, is dead against any such attempt. Every day brings fresh facts calculated to bring the ex-Emperor into deeper odium. A commission has been charged to examine and report upon his correspondence, which, it is stated, will be published. Some scandalous transactions have already found their way into print, but I prefer not stirring up the cessspool which is already sufficiently

offensive.

COUNT BISMARCK ON THE SITUA TION.

The correspondent of the Standard has given the substance of a conversation between Count Bismark aud himself, from which wo make the following extracts :—" I asked if he thought the French would defend Paris. ' We shall not attack it,' he answered. 'What will you do then ?' I asked. 'We shall enter it without attacking it. We shall starve it out.' I urged that it would require 1,200,000 men to invest Paris, He explained that it would not be invested in that sense. ' But,' said he, 'we shall post our armies round it, according as is thought best; and we have 50,000 cavalry who will answer for tbe rest. They will perpetually sweep and scour the parts'not actually occupied by our troops, and not a morsel of food will be allowed to enter Paris. Why should we attack, and undergo fresh sacrifices gratuitously. There are fighting persons in Paris, who might give us trouble the first, and pcs«ibly the second day, if we attacked. The th d day, if we leave them alone, they will bo more troublesome to Paris itself, food becoming scarce. We will begin with the third day. Why ruu our heads against a wall ?' He spike with the utmost confidence of this system, and I leave hi 3 views just as they were stated. When I suggested that while Paris was being thus starved into submission time would be given for the formation of a new French army south of the Loire, he replied, " Not an army ; only numbers of armed people. We took 1500 of such near St. Menehould with a single squadron of dragoons. It is possible that the Frenchman may be made a good soldier in three months ; but we shall not give him three months ; and in any case the so called army will be without officers deserving the name. If they insist on fighting, well and good. They will be slaughtered. But it is a pity-"

GARIBALDI AND THE REPUBLIC.

General Garibaldi has addressed tho following letter to his friends —" Caprera, September 7. To my Friends, —Yesterday I said to you : War to the death to Bonaparte ; I say to you to day : We must help the French Republic by all possible means. lam tin invalid, but I offer myself to the Provincial Government of Paris, and I hope it will not be impossible for me to perform some work, Yes, my fellow-citizens we shall regard assistance to our brothers of France as a sacred duty. Our mission will not certainly consist in combaling our German brethren, who, bein^as the arm of Providence, have over thrown in the dust the germ of tyranny which weighed upon the world, but we shall sustain the only sjstem which can assure peace and prosperity among nations. I say again, support by all possible ways the French Republic, whifh. learning wisdom by the li-ssons of the past, will be one of the best pillars of human regeneration."

JCHE EVENING STAJ*, DECEMBER 6, 1870.



J. Cosgrave and Co. beg to inform the public that there is an entire revolution in dress, also in the prices of goods. It is neces sary it should be so, as Auckland is not in the.flourishing p>osition itwus twelve months ago ; it is like all goldfield cities, suffering under a recovery, the working classes are more nu merous and money less plentiful. Therefore, the prices of drapery and clothing must come down to suit the times. The population must have clothing suitable for an almost tropical summer. J. Cosgrave and Co. have met the crisis, they hare broken down the monopoly of large profits that h%ve reigned here for years past. They are determined the people shall be clad and that cheaply ; a great chance icas offered lately, the stock of a large importer of drapery was in the market, a discount off' English cost ivas given, and J. Cosgrave and Co. became the purchasers, hence our extensive mid valuable sale of drapery takes place This Day.—[Advt._]
