PARIS READY FOR THE ENEMY. M. Gaillardet says: “The appearance of a division of the enemy between Kheims and Soissons would seem to indicate that the in- vading wave will therefore eome upon us by the valleys of the Aisne and the Oise. It mat- ters little by how many routes the enemy marches hither. ‘The entire circumterence of our fortifiationsis in a formidable state of de- fense. All the roads have been obstructed, save only the railroads and canals; and many gates and posterns.have been walled up. Yes- terday the railroad bridge to Asnieres was blown up; and, in short, nothing has been left to chance. At the Ministry, I am informed, that there is talk of removing the ad- ministration to Tours, or beyond the Loire during the seige of Paris. This would be at once prudent and sensible. It is necessary that the ministry should have elbow room. | shall desire to have it too, and it is notimpossible that J may follow the flag.” A FRENCH WAR STEAMER AT LONDON.

THE EMPEROR AND McMAHON The Emperor is now at Besthenville, al miles north of Chalons. Marshal McMahon is near Stenay. PRUSSIAN MOVEMENTS. Ublans occupy Montmedy. It was reported that Gen. Von Steinmetz had been displaced, and that, in consequence of the great losses in curred, his force had been incorporated with thatof the Crown Prince. It now seems that the report was false. The Prussians have ap- peared at Suippes, fourteen miles north of Cha- lons. The Prussians now in the valley of the Aube are concentrating at Sommecy. OLLIVIER IN ITALY. Froresce, August 29.—Emile Olltvier and family have arrived in this city. BATTLE AT DUN.

Lompom, August 29.—The report of a French victory on the Meuse, in which battle 50,000 were slain, is false. French accounts say that MoMahon is not ready for battle. Not a word can be got from Bazutne, though his lines ere still reported open.. It was Bismarck who gave the order that there all that is possible to prepare Paris for a siege. ‘We shall be ready. We are confident of the patriotic courage of our citizens and tie future of France.” The Opinion Nationale says:—“‘ The Duke de Palikao must have entire authority daring the critical moment. He must meet no interfer- ence from other officials. The authorities must beaunit. The first cannon shot willcause a cessation of all political differences.” This Journal again demands the expulsion of al! Germans from Paris. ACTIVITY LN PARIS. Paris, August 29.—The Minister of War announces that with the guns im the re- serve depots be can arm an immense force of the National Guard im addition to those already under arms. The Minister of Agri- culture and Commerce is wonderfully active. It is estimated that the bakers have at least fif- teen days’ subsistence. Besides this, the Minis- ter has collected at Paris 250,000 quintals of flour, 150,000 quintals of rice, an immense lot of potatoes and fresh vegetables or all sorts. There have been also collected 190,000 beeves, 500,000 sheep, and all the grain and forage ne- cessary for their temporary keeping. Salt. spices, coffee, sugar, and other articles are also stored in sufficient quantities for the subsistence of Paris during three months; making 3,000,000 of rations. At the entrepots are stored great quantities of salt port and salt fish, together with straw, oats, and hay, necessary for the sub- sistence of horses, as well those of the army ag of private parties. Munitions of war are also plentifal. LATER. PARIS MUST BE SAVED. The Prussians Will Never Reach the City Without a Complete Victory Over the Fremh.

Lowpox, August 29.—It is rumored that the French Ambassadors at neutral cocrts have asked for the interposition of the great powers to guarantee the present French dynasty. The military articles in the London Tims, which have attracted some attention, are un- derstood to haye been written by General Bur goyne. A French frigate is cruising in St. Georges Channel.

King William's suite at army headyuarters consists of about one thousand peréons, of whom eighty are court dignitaries, servants, attaches of the postal and telegraphic service, members of the engineer corps, geographers, etc., make up the rest. Bismarck’s train is almost as am- ple as King Williams’. THE LONDON TIMES ON THE SITUATION The London Times says that Paris must and will be saved, but the removal of the seat o: government is indispensable, owing to the pre- dominance there of vile passions, which are ir- reconcilable with public order and with mili- tary movements. The Times questions the taetics of Me- Mahon in moving to the northwest, and thereby leaving open the road to Paris, and says he might at least have threatened a descent on the advancing columns of the Prussians. Ata meeting of the Paris defence committee yesterday, M. Thiers informed the members that the Prussians would never reach the city without a complete victory over the French army, and that even then their stay would be short. The Irish war fever is still most intense Funds in aid of the French wounded are accu- mulating rapidly. The North German bark Texas, Capt. Meint- zen, which sailed from Philadelphia on the 19th ot July for Hamburg, has put into Stornaway, S-otland, to avoid capture by French cruisers. Panis, August 29.—General Trochu, Gov- ernor of Paris, has issued a proclamation or- dering all strangers, natives of countries now at war with France, and not nataralized citi- zens, to leave Paris and the department of the Seine within three days. They must quit France, or at least retire to some department onthe other side of the Loire. All strangers who come within the above injunction, and do not conform to it, will be arrested and handed over to the military tribunal, unless special permission to remain is received from the Gov ernor of Paris. >< ee THE LATEST.
