THE ADVANCE ON PARIS. Loxvon, September 19.—(Special to the New Vork Tim A correspondent ot the New York Times, writiag from Paris on ihe 17th, says that Gen. Vinoy, led 30,000 troops last night to Vincennes to dkpate the parsage of the Marne. The advance of the enemy yesierday was not sreat. Their troops are ready to cross at any moment, being massed near the Seine. Cross- ing the Seine at Villeneuve and St. George's, they will pass in the vicinity of Longumeau, in the rear of Versailles. Established there, they will push foaward by the woods of Mendon, to plant batteries on tue heights of Clamart, and if the city ts bombarded, w.ll open fire upon the vanguard.
