Tag Prstic Dest STaTEMENT.—In conse- quence of the large amount of warrants drawn on the Treasury during the current month on account of quarterly pensions, it is likely the forthcoming debt statement will not show as large a decrease as the previous month's but will probably range from ten to twelve millions. Insrzction Tovr.—Mr. J. W. King, Chief Engineer in charge of the Bureau of Steam Engineering at the Navy Department, left here on Sunday for the Boston, Portsmouth, Brook- lyn, Philadelphia and Norfolk Navy Yards, to inspect Machinery in U. 8.

Un ace>unt of the recent law of Congress providing that jthere shall be Bo promotion to the grade of Lieut.

Commodore Mullany is now in comman! of the Richmond, of the European Squadron, and as she is a second rate vessel she must be com- manded by a Captain, consequently Commo- dore Mullany will be detached.

THE New Democratic Pargr. — Things seem to be taking shape for the appearance for the purpose of publishing the paper in ques- tion, has been organized, we hear, by the elec- tion of James E. Harvey, President and Editor; O. K. Harris, Secretary and Assistant Fditor: James G. Berret, Business Manager; W. J. Ben- nett, Foreman; and Charles D. Parsous, Press- mAn. Mr. Harvey was lately Minister to Portugal, and previously had enlarged experience as & newspaper writer. He was for some years the Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Nerth American, and as letter-writer ranked with men of the stamp of Kingman, Sargent and Grund. Mr. Harris, formerly eonnected with Tam Stam, and lately with the Republican, is an ex- cellent newspaper man. Jt bas been reported that Mr. Welling, for- merly of the Vational Inteliigencer, and since the President of St. John's College, Annapolis, was to be connected with the new paper, but it seems he is about to connect himself with Princeton College, and does not propose to re- enter upon the dradgery of journalism.

Dear Evitor :—Knowing that y u and your patrons feel a sincere interest in Washington enterprises, | have great pleasure in recording the fact that Piney Point can be put to the very top of the list as a tirst-class watering place; indeed, it has already assumed its ancient glory, and tbrough the indefatigable efforts of its ac- compyished host, Mr. l’oits, of Metropolitan Hotel Tame, it bids fair to be a formidable rival to Cape May, Long Branch, and Newport. To be candid, you can not find anywhere along the seaboard such an abundanee of sea food, served in @ manner fit to tempt the gods, if their tastes were at all epicurean, as you can at this place; with all the appointments of an elegantly con: ducted hotel, with a trained corps of servants, you still have the quiet and freedom of your own home, untrameied with perplexing cares, or the discomforts of a necessity to be in fash- jonable attire. ‘When we first arrived we thought what a ha- ven of rest this re is for business men, worn and anxious with the struggle of life.

All of the war news of any interest, received bere by cable last night, is embraced in the fol- lowing telegrams: A FLANK MOVEMENT. ABLON, 2, via BRvssets.—(Special tothe NA Work Sun.)—The Prassigey ont a flank movementon McMahon, as th didon Bazaine. This is the situation of doth armies: McMahon occupies @ line from Bethel to Stenay, leading on Mezieres, Sedan and Montmedy, with the bou: behind. ‘The Prussians who were marching on to Paris, deployed from Stenay to ‘Troy. ve their direction. Instead of west they are going north. Their troops around Troyes moved in the direction of Komilly, those around Cha- tons in that of Suippes, aud those which were between Stenay and Varennes in the direction of the Rethel, by Grandpre and Vouziers, while & strong force is at Dun, observing the lett of McMahon at Stenay. Meanwhile strong Prus- sian columns are advancing from Luneyille and Jernville to St. Dizier, where the headquarters of the King were reported to be yesterday. The manifest mtention of the Prussians is to destroy McMahon as they destroyed Bazaine, and then torn their attention to Paris. A great battle will certainly be tought before many days be- tween Rethel and Montmedy. Do not believe ina dispatch this morning trom Rethel saying McMahon and Bazaine are in connection. THE COMING BATTLE. Lospoy, August Advices from the seat ot war report the Emperor's headquarters were at Vouziers. It is thought the Crown Prince is moving northward, «nd will encounter McMa- hon west of Kheims and Epernay. It is said the French advance repulsed the Prifsians at At- tigny, a few miles northwest of Vouziers. McMahon is reported io be in Ardennes forest, and Bazaine between Metz, Charey, and Etain. A later dispatch statey that Gen. Steinmetz has marched northward from Metz, pursuing McMaton to prevent him trom disturbing the Prussian force investing Metz. OFFICIAL FROM PARIS. Panis, August 29.—Official dispatches state psy ood Prussian army continues its movement on Rethel or Vouziers. ‘I'wenty thousand cav- alry have passed through Chalonsfor Epernay. Strasburg and Pfaisburg still hold out. THE PREPARATIONS AT PARIS. Lonpon, August 29—A letter from Paris describes the preparations for a seige as follows: “Two hundred thonsand good troops are now in Paris, and fresh thousands well armed will arrive hourly. The new corps organized at Lyons has arrived. Gens d’armes, policemen, franctereurs, foresters, and customs servants are coming in from all the departments. Eighteen thousand gunners from the ficet are stationed in the fortifications. The city swarms with troops. e isastrong conviction that the enemy will be checked.” KESUME OF GERMAN OPERATIONS, Lonxpon, August 29.—The following is a re- sume of the progress of the German arms since the commencement of the invasion of France: After the check encountered by the French van- guard near Saarbruck, August 6th, followed by the rout of MeMahon, the French main body retired on the line of the Moselle. The fortresses of Metz, a defense of the first order, with well supplied and entrenched camps, gave great strength to their new line of position. A direct attack would have been difficult, therefore the German armies p: to the south of Metz to- ward the Moselle, to cross it above the city, and discover the enemy’s movements. Such great masees of troops, covering a wide region, re- quired special precautions. The first army was to tlank the enemy’s line of march, and was di- rected to take a new position near the river Med. In the meantime the first and second armies approached each other, a division pass- ing over the Morelle. Yhe same division on the 9th took part in the fight, in which the French were repulsed and pursued until they reached the protection of the guns of Metz. This combat resulted greatly to the advantage of the Prus- sians, as it retarded the French retreat, and the advantage was closely followed up. Two roads connect Metz with Verdun and Paris. ‘The second army refraining trom the passage of the Moselle, and Paris thus threatened. the French were obliged to witlidraw trom the right bank of the Moselle, before Metz, not being strong enough to stop the Prussian movements, The edvanee of the tifst army observing the movements of the French, attacked, August 14, the French rear, throwing it upon the mam body, which was compelled to semi back several divisions to support the rear. The Prussian first and seventh corps went on the south side to compel the French to face about. They suc- ceeded after a bloody Lut victorious conflict. The Prussian fifth division attacked General Froseard. By degrees the entire French force engaged, and of the Prussian forces other divisions of the third corps, tent! corps, a regimentof the ninth corps and a brigade ot the eighth ———, Prince Frederick Charies had tuken command. The movement was suc- cessfv], and the southerly road to Paris was in- tercepted. The Prussians fought heroically, and their losses large, but of especially imy Guard, were immense. The French cial reports estimate the Prussian pare mane at double what it was. The only way for the E: to total isolation from his supplies lay in the northern line.

A SERIES OF BATTLES. A series of bloody engagements had taken place in the wooded region between Varennes and Stenay, but nothing decisive was yet known, All the workshops in Paris were closed yester- day. PRINCE FREDERICK CHARLES TO FIGHT McMAHON. Lowpos, August It was reported, several days ago, that Prince Frederick Charles would return and go in pursuitotf McMahon. This re- port’seems to be gaining strength. It is sup- posed that the Prince has been thus led to de- part from the original plan of operations, because @ Of communications would be seriously gered with so large an army in his rear.

Army correspondents in France are faring badly. Mr. Austin, of the London Times, is im- isoved at Kheims; Mr. Hall, of the Graphic, ‘dat Nancy; and Holdsworth, of the been escorted back to Paris, under FRENCH CAVALRY ROUTED. ‘The Times this morning says: “On the 2th inst. tive German detachments routed six de- tacbments of French cavalry near Buzaney, in the Department of the Ardennes. The Ger- mars belonged to the 4th army, which is now scouring the eastern departments in order to prevent communication between McMahon and Bazaine.” BAZAINE ISOLATED YET. Prussians say that Paris telegrams purportin to come from Bazaine are fraudulent, as he is entirely isolated. 960,000 MEN MANEUVERING FOR PO- SITION. Lonvon, August 30, 1:30 p. m.—The following news from the French war office is just received here:—*Nearly 900,000 men are now in @ tri- angle formed by lines ranning from Kheims to Rethel and Vouziers, Bazaine is not shut up. He has 120,000 men, and McMahon is 189,000 strong. They are stealing two marches on the Prince Royal, who is two days ahead of Prince Frederick Charles. It isthoped that the latter cannot come up in time. Fifty thousand men left Paris Monday for the vicinity of Rethel, It is said the Prussian force there is 500,000 strong. THE EXPECTED GREAT BATTLE. BRvesets, August 30.—The Belgian troops are hastening to the frontier from all quarters. A great battle between the French and Pras- sians is apparently imminent and the services of the Belgian troops will no doubt be neces- sary to protect the country from invasion. ‘McMAHON AT SEDAN. BRUSssEts, August 30.—The investment of Longuey by the Prussians, reported yesterday, is denied. McMahon's headquarters are at THE BOMBARDMENT OF STRASBURG. some sort of truce or mediation.

KING WILLIAM’S ROUTE TO PARIS. ‘The Prussians have entered Vouziers on the heels of the retreating French. King William's route to Paris is by the Upper Marne and Meuse. A French frigate, which had been in the harbor of Leswick, Scotland, sailed thence Sunday, after repairing her engines. She had received notice from the British government to leave.
