Cheveau aiso gave other explanations of ‘the preparations for the detense of Paris, which were received with great satisfaction. ‘The Journal des Debdats says that at the battle of Gaumont, referred to by Count Palikao in his statement to the Cor Legidatit yesterday, one French regiment heldin the Prussian force, thus enabling Marshal Bazaine to exe- cute a flank movement, and repulse the enemy with great loss. The statement of Count Palikao that the French wen a victory on the 18th and drove the Prussians at Gaumont is reported from other sources. |Gaumont is between Metz and Thiou- ville.} 5 pINTERVENTION TO SAVE PARIs.

RE IS IN FULL MABCT ON PARIS. The City Preparing fora Siege They Claim to be Provisioned for s Months. AN ENGLISH VIEW OF THE SITUATION, Bazaine Cu’ off, and McMahon Surrounded MINCE FRIDAY, NO FIGHTING The Battle of Gravelotte, Telegraphed Baclusively to the Boening Star, THE CROWN PR MARCHING ON t dispateh dated Par Unis, says “dt is with much difficulty that we can obtain positive information concerning the situation of aflairs in the neighborhood of Metz. Marshal Bazaine still Insists on the necessity of *ilence This, in my opinion, is wrong; for the anaicty which prevails in Paris in eptte of the categoric ieclarations of the Minister of War ts prejadi- cial to the national cause. The Bourgooiaso, timid and distrustful, think there woul! be no motive to conceal other than unfavorable news, and their discontent is fed by not very reaasur- ing dispatches, which reach us from Brasels and London. I have myself seen the latest die patches from Bazaine. He declares positively be is the victor, and his strategical movement bas been accomplished with‘success, but is at- tended with serious lost. Why not give pablicity to this dispatch, and reassure anqtiet «pirite? Surely the enemy could not gain from tt any aseful information. To sum up, I believe that the inceaant combats of the last seven days have been favorable to us, but that they have not yet brought about decisive rosulte. One fact is certain: The army of the Princ) alot Prussia continues its march on Paris. Yester- day it was at Vitry le Frencois, and, if we may believe the report which has reached the Corps Legislatif, it has the appearance of moving to turn the camp at Chatons, and fall apon the capital. PARIS PREPARING TO RECEIVE THE ENEMY. ‘The Emperor and McMahon are at Cualons. They have too great a revenge to take to pere mit any movement no: likely t> be successfal. Meanwhile measures are being taken by Gen. Trochu which indicate that we are on the po t of being beseiged.

All this certainly mdicates that if we are threatencd with siege we are certainly prepared to sustain it. ‘The people of Paris are in excellent spirits and full of patrioti-m. They will rise in this crisis to the heighth of the situation. GE OF STRASBURG. Late advices have been te- ceived here from Ernstein, a town near Stras- burg. The Prussian army was besieging Siras- burg, and had caused the people of Ernsteia to change the course of the little river IM in that neighborhood, in order to stop the supply of water forthe city. The Prussians had appoint- eda mayor for Erpstein. The general in com- mand of Strasburg had driven off the defences all who consume army stores without affording a THE GAKDE MOBILE KETUKNING TO PAKIS. , to the Cowrier des Btate Lonpon, Aug. 22.—The Garde Mobile is re- turning to Paris from the front, doubtless be- cause it is unprovided with arms.

Bextin, Aug. 22.—Bismarck’s regiment,which has several times recently been reported totally annihilated, has not yet been unter fre. BOTH FRENCH ARMIES IN A BAD WAY. Lompow, Aug. 22.—It is said that Marshal Ba- zaine is absolutely cut off from his resources. The Prussians are between him and Paris. McMahon is also believed to be surrounded. Convoys with provisions have gone forward to supply both armies. One hundred and sixty thousaril men have passed through Paris to the front since Friday morning. It is generally thought here, however, that the march of the Prossians cannot be arrested before reaching Paris. It is said that there are now nearly 300,000 good troops at and near Paris. It is be- lieved that one decisive battle gives Paris to the Prussians. MISSION OF PRINCE NAPOLEON TO ITALY. FLORENCE, August 22.—Prince Napoleon is here.
