THE PRUSSIAN MAKCH ON PARIS, Loxpow, August 27—On Thursday evening the headquarters of the Prussian army were at Bar-le-Duc. The advance reached a point about midway between Chalovs and Epernay. ‘The march on Paris was to be conducted leis- urely by the Prussians, as no further opposition anticipated. There is authority for saying that the fortifications of Paris, unless manned by at least 500,000 men, are worthless. THE DEAD AND WOUNDED. According to French reports, Luneville is so filled with Pro-siam wounded that 3,000 are lefr ursheltered in the streets. Count Von Bismarck’s son is more seriously wounded than was at first reported. He has been sent home to Manheim. Bataille, the French General who wrs so seri- cusly wounded. is recoyering rapidly.

The Prossians who were at Stenay are now falling back upon Dun, several miles further south. HORRORS OF THE PRUSSIAN INVASIO New York, Aug. 27.—The following is a pecral to the Courier des Etats Unis: Pants, Aug. 26.—In spite of the orders given y the commanders of the enemy’s army, the Pros ian invesion of 1:70 surpasses in horror the re collcerons of that of 1614. At the War De- partment accounts are received from all sides, of pillage, devastation, and of summary execu- tions, caused by the resistance of peasants to the invasion of their homes. The Prussians concede to them no rights of deferce. The Ublans above all commit depredatiors wortby of the Cossacks of other days. THE EMPEROR. Little is said about the Emperor, and with good reason. Rot recriminations, are Beceseary. It will be time enough hereafter to demand an account from him, who was the origin of our first disas ers. THE EMPRESS. The Empress shows the most noble devotion to the wounded, Every day she visits the mili- tary hospitals and extends care and censolation to the victims of the war. All ladies of rank and bigh in social standing imitate her example. There are, unfortunately. rome exceptions to this noble cunduct. PRUSSIAN ESPIONAGE. The system of Prussian espionage has even stolen into some of the cburches and sacred places, where it would would scarcely be pos- sible to discover and prevent it. One or two examples have been made, which will probably put anend to this secret connivance with the enemy. GEEMANS NOT EXPELLED FROM PARIS.

Avstria rociprocates, and is anxious to contribute to its faitillment. TERRIBLE OUTRAGES CHARGED ON THE PRUSSIANS.

NnoT The Prince Royal of Prussia has issued a proclamation to the people of France, wherein he says :-— Prussia makes war against the Eu- peror, and not the people of France. The poo ple have pothing whatever to fear. The Princ rounces his purpose to instantly restore the ez of travel which have been interrupted o destroyed by army movements, co that labor aud commerce may éverywhere be resamed.” Allof the French officials have been requested to remain at theit posts, and their personel Saiety is guaranteed. The Prince furthe only surplus food will be taken for the Gorman troog —that only which is not required by the peaceial Frerch. BRUTALITY OF THE HESS Tle Hessians, according to French accounts, are again distinguishing themselves by their tra ditional pillage and brutality. THF LATEST PEACE PROGRAMME It is predicted here that terms for peace be- tween France and Prussia will embrace the tol- lowing points :—« Vosges to be the fature boun: dary; Bar-le-Duc to remain a French territory the province of Alsace to be partitioned between Bavaria and Baden; and Wartemburg, being anti-Prussian, is to get nothing.” THAT LAST DITCH. Panis, August 27.—It is reported that the government is preparing a note, to be addressed to its representatives abroad, announcing tha France will prosecute the war to the last ex- tremity, and that no proposals looking to peace will be entertained so long as the enemy is on French soil. TOO FOND OF FOREIGNERS. Lospon, August 27.—The Paris Figaro says the Tuileries are too fond of foreigners. Ameri- can beauties, tierce Andalusians, and sentimen- tal Germans were weaknesses that are now pos- sibly cured. THE BUMMERS GET NAPOLEON'S LUG- GAGE.
