Rome, September 17.—The Inhabitants of the city have received a flag of trace from Genera Godarna, in command of the Italian troops, who have arrived very close to tho city.

All accounts from Parte denote the French as eager for peace. Tho Herald special, dated London 17th says a special correspondent with tho French fleet writes that the sailors express much satisfaction at the prospect of the raising of tho blockade and their return to some point where active service will be possible. When tho fleet left Cherbourg the Minister of Marine made to ad miral Willineurso a positive promise that not alone should several iron-clad ships follow him at brief intervals, but what was of first impor tance, that a fleet of transports would speedily join him, conveying a force of thirty or 40,000 troops for land operation. -The promise has been broken in both instances, and the fleet left to its own aid and resources, which has been barely sufficient to maintain a blockade of the enemies forte. Such service is tedious: and: unsatisfactory.' Our situation is in dangerous waters, abounding in hidden reefs and shal lows. No friendly lights to give warning in the night; no buoys to serve os marks for guides by day, while we are compelled constant ly to "guard against surprises by the enemy, with small means for retaliating in open forts. We aro forbidden to attack fortresses, and conldnotdoso with the slightest prospect of success, and the heavy iron-clads draw from 23 to 28 feet of water, with the exception of the Lochambeau, which combines formidable arm ament with comparatively small draught; but. little can be done with a single ship. We might attack Niel, but to what purpose? The forte commanding the entrance are situated so high that it would be almost impossible to elovate our guns sufficiently to effect anything, while the ships would bo exposed to a destructive downward fire; escaping which they would en counter more formidable obstacles in the bay, which is filled with torpedoes and made unfa vorable by sinking vessels connecting with chain cables, leavingonlyanarrow and tortuous channel through whioh only smaller crafts man age to pick their way. Under such circum stances it would be madness to attempt to pen etrate far enough to bombard the town by a fow wooden men-of-war. It would have beena piece of Eettsefless temerity, and probably re sulting in another German triumph. Hence the complete and disastrous failure of the French fleet in the hour; of danger. Notwithstanding the heavy cost to the country, there shonldhavo boon no fleet here or ofle four times as powerful. London, September 17.—It is siiid that Bis marck has asked an explanation from the Bel gium Government for having allowed twelve thousand French soldiers to cross her territory unchecked;. The Independence Beige, in this connection says tho feara of. Belgium has al ready leaned too sharply to Prussia. Pabis, September 17.—Ulrich telegraphs to the ytav Department that the situation of tho city of Strasbourg is growing desperate, necessity ting an eariy capitulation. Tho French iron-clads havo been recalled from the Baltic and North seas, to protect Cher bourg, Havre and other ports from capture by the Prussian?. Pams, September 17.—Fourcheon and the Minister of Marine, areat Havre. At a grand Republican demonstration recont- ly at Marseilles, Esquires made a strong dis course in honor of the U. S., asserting that the Empire was the friend of the Southern rebell ion, and that the Republic of France favored the Union. Price, American Consul, also made a speech sympathizing with the new Govern ment. London, September 17.—A correspondent of the Globe, writing from Paris, says the Red Republicans aro now more dangerous to the Bafety of Prance than the Prussians. Some are sdready urging the erection of the guillotine at Tours. The following news is promulgated through the offices of the Frenoh Secretary of the Inte rior: All service of the-Northern Railroad is suspended. The Prussians have fired into pas senger trains at Ablon and Bromet depot. They have crossed the Seine with 50 cannon. Prussian cavalry now isolate Soisson from Paris and Tours.

It is reported that the advance guards of the Prussians have been defeated between Mul- house and Oebnior. - Demonstrations have been made in Bordaux in favor of the Republio. The Amerioan Con sul was loudly cheered. Amendment as a finality. Washington, September 16.—The.monthly Agricultural report says of cotton, that there is considerable complaint of damage .from' rust, worms and unfavorable August weather. The general prospect is not discouraging. The average of reports from North Carolina, shows the condition to be five per cent, better than at the same date last year, but there are reports of tojury by rust, bolls falling off, caused by wet weather. Sonth Carolina is 5 per cent, above, but rust is prevalent, and the yield diminished by the intensely hot, dry, weather. Georgia iq, 5 per cent above, with rast and wot ms deteori ating the crops to some extent. Rust and cry weather havo dona considerable damage on „ray lands fertilized with guano. In Florida the condition is 15 per cent, above last year. In Alabama rast, drought and boll worm have wrought serious damage, while in some localities the rain has’ induced rot and extensive shedding of youDg bolls. An aver age of reports, however, shows the general prospect in the State as good as at the same date last year. Mississippi also reports an av erage condition, though complaints are numer ous of tho depredations of boll worm and shed ding of bolls from frequent rains. Lonisiania ia8 percent above an avarage con dition. The crop is later than usual, and rains and caterpillars have done some damage. Texas te 9 per cent, above with increased acreage. The Cameron county reporter says; “This valley produced 400 bales last season and will probably produce 2000 bales this year.—■ The worm has done much damage and excessive rains have been disastrous in-some localities. Arkansas promises ten per. cent better than at this date last year, with few complaints of injury. Tennessee and Missouri are about an average, though several correspondents report the crop considerably below that of last year, unless there should be a similarly favorably Fall. There te little in the figures of our reporters to. indi cate a decreased yield of cotton, and favorable weather henceforth must insure considerable increase. Staunton, Va., September 17.—The city of Staunton voted an additional $50,000 to-day, making the total subscription three million dol lars, which insures the construction of the-Val ley Railroad from Harrisonburg to Salem, Va.; Staunton and Lexington.
