The complement of cler- ical force needed in tis bureau is now almost attained, the above appointments nearly com- pleting the maximum number of clerks re- quired. BUT FEW CHANGES are now being made in the stations of army officers. This is said to be on account of the new army bill authorizing a reduction, as it is feared by many that they may be honorably discharged if they sheuld desire any change of station; consequently the applications for desirable stations have greatly decreased and the special orders from the War Department heretofore issued daily are now re- duced to two or three per week, and it isa rare Occurrence to tind an officer’s name in these, most of them pertaining to recruits, musicians, &e.

Las? NIGHT'S TRLERGRAMS, The following embrace the most important items of war news received here by cable last night:— BREACH zane ad LINES aT Boricxox, Sept. 15. 10.50 p. m.—Part of Ba. zaire’s army has cut ite way through the Prus. ans at Metz, and is now marching on Paris. Marebal Canrobert is in command. Sedan has been placed in a state of siege, the mayor arrested aud the population expelled. PRUSSIAN ADVANCE ON PARIS, Lowpon, Sept.'15.—(Special to the New York Herald )— id special, dated at St. Denis, France, yesterCas, says the Prussians are ap- roaching Paris in thousands. Accurate caica- PGers piece the number of the advancing Pruseian forces at 400,000. There is great agita- tion here and in the neighborhood. PARIS TO BE ISOLATED. Paris,Sept. 15 —The Prassi: e adv in immense force. To-morrow the capital wilt be completely isolated. All the railways have been cut with the exception of the lines running west from the forest of Montmorency. The forest of Bondy is now burning. Other forests will be destroyed to-morrow.. The connec- tions will not be cut for a few days. Gen. Trochu published a proclamation to the troops to-day. Neuilly is full of supplies of water and food. The gates of Paris will be closed to morrow. There are now over six millions of pounds of gunpowder in Paris. Seventeen of the bridges over the Seine have been destroyed. No French fortress has yet been taken. Paris is grateful for American sympathy. Ali classes are resolved to fight to the death. Las. night Parisians were awakened by a tremendous can- nonading all along the ramparts. It was sup- posed that an attack had been made, and there was excitement which was, however, allayed when the announcement was made that the gunners were only practicing. The shops of the city are mostly closed, and masters and em- Lege alike are drilling. The workmen and ‘ational Guards have made another demonstra- tion of regard to Mr. Washburne and the United States government. PEACE FAILURES. Lonpow. Sept. 15—The Electeur Si Eve, ot Sooke says berg hoger with posed ee ob- taining peace have been going on between Jules Favre and Minister Washbarne, at Paris, and Minister Bancroft, at Berlin, but have failed. The King of Prussia rejects American mediation, and Mr. Bancroft replies be can only remain @ spectator of the conflict. Mr. Wash- burne,on communicating Mr. Bancroft’s dis- oe to the Minister of ncin; ‘oreign Affairs, added it he could only record his protest against this impious war. ‘he New York Tim+s’ writer says the an- nouncement that Prussia dictated the terms on which Italy esters Rome creates dismay. It is asked whose turn comes next. Mail communi- cation with Paris has been stopped, but the tel- e is still working. ‘Telegraph lines run under the ground tifteen miles from Paris. Prussia will only treat with the old Senate and the Empress. ‘This means war to the death, for the P agecenses a government, sooner than abdicate the republic, will make Paris a heap of ruins. A Paris dispatch of to-day gives a report that M. Thiers has received further in- structions to treat for peace, and that hopes are ente! fo: a successful result. PEACE WITHUUT PEACE. The Gaulois affirms that the British govern. ment has sent another letter to the King of Prussia demanding peace, and asking upon what conditions Prussia would sign, and where they would hove a peace concluded, and also informing him that the basis that would be agreed upon by the neutral powers would be the integrity of French territory. No written answer was received to this mes- sage, but the King asks what guarantee tho pro- visional government can offer, and whether the French people and the regular government to succeed the present would ratify the treaty of intervention. BOTTOM RAIL ON Top. Lonpon, Sept. 15.—In diplomatic circles the firm belief prevails that the Orleans family will be restored to the throne of France. The arrival in Europe of Compte 1)’Eu, ge veral-in-chief of the Brazilian armies, is certainly regarded as significart. M. Thiers has had a — interview with members of the Orleans family here. It is said that he delivered to the Duke )’Aumale an important private letter from General Trochu. STRASBURG. MUNDELSHEIM. near Strasburg, Sept. 15.— ‘The beseigers completed the third parallel be- fore Strasburg on Tuesday, and for the forty-eight hours a breeching battery has main tained a constant fire with telling effect. The republic has been proclaimed in Strasburg. A detachment of General Keller’s command dis- ree a force of French riflemen near Colmar, on Wednesday. Loxpon, Sept. 15.—The Tribune correspon- dent at Achen, on Thursday, telegraphs that General Ulrich has admitted that the situation ats is becoming desperate, from his in- ability to repair enormous injuries sustained from incessant bombardment. Last night the fire of the beseigers was very severe. Additional guns bave arrived.

Lonpon, Sept. 15.—[Special to the Tribunce.}— A special correspondent at Esch te! hs to- day that there has been no fighting Metz sin :e the 2d, except a two-hours’ bombardment on the 13th. The German officers say that the French reply is weak. The German forces have , and have closed in much nearer the walls during the past week, chiefly on the east and south sides. None now remain near Briey. Picket firing, which was formerly discou by the German comm: rs, is now encour- aged, 80 as to prevent comradeship vetween the pickets. The French are anxious to approach the Prussians in a friendly manner to get vic- tuals and news. Itis reported from a French source that the garrison must soon starve, and great destitution exists among the peasantry. Not a = is left, and even the German wounded have but the poorest black bread in the ravaged districts. Help for the starvin; villages will be needed soon. An official ap) is being prepared for publication in England and America. CARRYING THE WAK INTO GERMANY. Panis, Sept. 15.—The French troops which recentiy er the Rhine into Baden territory will probably remain and operate on German soil. Reinforcements have gone to them. KEPUBLICANISM IN LONDON. parades, banners, See Hac! , Clerkent Islington, and all sections, will be represented. The Englishmen will march in a body to join the Italian and French republicans at Trafal- jar square. They will then proceed to the offi- fia residence Gladstone and demand the recognition of the republic. GENERAL ITEMS. Paais, Sept. 15.—A Prussian was discovered to-day, ina secluded , firing with a rifle at one of the balloons wi are now being used as outlooks by the military authorities. He was promptly arrested. Gustay Flourens, Fouvielle and Chateaubriand are in command of batal- lions. At Pau roves demonstrations have been madegby the Garde Mobile and ple in front of the American consulate. Much enthus- iatm was manifested. The P: are to-day encamped at Croix aux Bois, Gastons Glas au Fontaine, near the city. It is reported that ie ge ie of the Prussians are deeply im! i@ mud of the Canal de la Marne au Khine. The Germans attempted to transport their guns by this canal, and the French sui let the water out of it. It is said this will delay the siege for @ considerable time. A party of American volui passed through Tours to-day, coming to Paris.

Only a few were killed and wounded on each side. The Italian head- quarters yesterday were fourteen kilometres out from Kome. Gen.
