Lonpon, Aug. 1--P. M. The wor preparations of Prussia, both for attack ‘and defence, as they are reported by telegrams from jthe Continent here, are very active and of a very Jeoxtensive range of pian. ‘Trenches have been opened at a distance of ten Jeagues from Cologne. An intrenched camp of very wWonsiderable extent nas been estaplisied in the itrianglewnich 1s formed by Cologne, Cob!entz and Treves. ‘The fincand well known park of Cologne, with the magnificeut chateau belonging to the banker Oppenheim, have been obliterated and wazed.

At Frankfort @ reward of 500 thalers has been offered by the authorities for the first capture of a French revolving cannon. It 1s genorally believed that Prussia wit! raise the Xing’s army to one million and a quarter of men, ‘&nd afterwards advance on the soll of France. ‘The day aiter the declaration of war was received by the Prussian Government General Von Moltke Said that if Napoleon nad not marched to the Rnte by the 2ist of July he would never cross above Mayence. Sauriduis has been recently fortified and serves ag the centre, Incase of necessity the Prussians can fail back on Mayence and Coblentz which protect the Passage over the Rhine, and behind which they have a formi- able corps in reserve.
