M. There was nothing new from the headquarters of the army at noon to-day. Telegrapnic communication was Lnterrupted yester- day between Paris and Nancy. Last night the authorities at Toul sent a despatch to Paris stating that Nancy had been occupied by a Prusgian detachment, The news is confirmed this morning. La Pawrie 3 that when ‘asbourg was invested by the Prussians it was letely supplied wita ammunition, and that all the places likely to be injured by the enemy’s shot have been strengthened, Many persons left the town willingly, and many others were sent away. Strasbourg, it adds, can only be captured Uirough famine, and it has provi- sious for any months, The journals unantmously demand the expulsion of Germans trom French soil, in consequence of the discovery of Prussian sples, Generai Count Palikso has issued an address to the troops, in which he blames them for firing too quick. At Wissembourg he says they used more ammunition in one day than the Prussians would in three days. The General reminds the soldiers “that they are now on the grand Ine of defence from Thionville to Metz and Nancy, and they must hold their ground, Back of that ts the line’of the Meuse; then the Argonnes; thea the tine of rivers illustrated by the campaign of 1814; and behind all this is Paris, and behind Paris is all France, with four million of armed men and one billion of trea- sure,” LOpinion Nationale says the German journals admit that their 108s in killed and wounded is in the proportion of five to two of the French. The newspapers announce that the Prussians treated the inhabitants of Woerth as enemies be- cause some of the citizens fired upon the German troops. A despatch dated Metz, August 13, eleven A. M., says:—‘‘The Prussian pickets yesterday appeared in ahe valley of the Moselle, and a detachment for a short time held Pont-a-Mousson. A brigade of our (French) cavalry drove them away and made thirty prisoners. More Prussian spies have been arrested in Metz.

Oficial Reports of the Situation in Genernl— The Defences of Paris—The Crisis us it Pre- sents at Home ond Abrond—Bismarck’s ©: culations and Disappointmmenta—No Negotins tions for Peace. Paris, August 14—6 P. M. The Journal Oficie contains the following tn gence, which it is authorized by the government to give to the public:— At the beginning of the war witn Prussia the Em- peror received addresses from the principal native chieftains of the three provinces of Algeria, who asked that they might be permitted to march and fight by the side of our troops and to open subscrip- Uons for the suiferers by the war. The Empress Regent, on the report of the Keeper of the Seals, has commuted and reduced the sen- tences of 1,641 convicts now confiued in ail kinds of penitentiary establishments in France and beyond tne sea. The imperial clemency 1s applied especially to those cases where uniform good conduct has given the prisoner a claim to indulgence, One of the public journals of this city stuli pre- sumes to doubt that real work is going on for the armament and defence of Paris. Although it may be an act of treason to speak thus ih face of the enemy, such insinuations impose the necessity of areply, notwitustanding the danger of doing so. All the material n ary for the armament o1 Paris is in Paris itself, More than six undred ean- hon are already mounted on the walis of those forts which are likely to be firsc threatened with attack, andthe work of placing other pieces in position continues without interruption day and night. Yes- verday 7,500 workmen were engaged in cutting oif the streets leading into Paris, This work has been completed, and nothing remains but to close up the openings in the wails and place drawbridges im posi- tion, Thousands of laborers are occupied outside the walls on eurthworks, minea, ditches, &c., which are to connect and complete the network of fortifications around the capital. These facts and figures we are obliged to give in order to reply to perfidions and erroncous insinua- tions, and to restore the confidence of our good citizens, if such questions should be renewed thetr authors will have to answer for their conduct before a council of war, where they will be subject to all the consequences of the law; for there are hours, and now more than ever, when justice can- not be permitted to sleep. The public opinion of Europe does justice to the heroic courage of our soldiers and tne energy with which the whole nation rises as one man, prepared to repair unexpected reverses, Our enemies counted on party divisions, Which would wave been treason to the national cause, The patriotism of the Cham- bers and the country has disappointed their calcu- jJations. In the Corps Législatif the “Right” andthe “Left rival each other tn their eagerness to push to the last limit of vigor the spirit of devo- tion to France. The new Ministry finds tt has the active and loyal co-operation of the country’s repre- sentatives. The session of the loth of August will distinguish that day as among the most noble in our parliamentary annals. Never has the nation acted under the inspiration of sentiments more elevated. ‘This atutude of the Chambers is both encouragement and recompense for the troops. The soldiers feel that the whole nation is behind them, and that the hour approaches when the enemy will be chused from the land. A review of the diplomatic situation shows how efficacious have been the efforts made to place on a good footing our relations with foreign Powers on any point which touches the present crisis, At the beginning of the contest M. Bismarck sought to ac- complish the following objec’ Fivst—Yo awaken against us the susceptibilities of Engiand on toe Belgian question. Seoond—To cement an ailia between Prussia and Russia. Third—To embroil us with Spain throught the Hohenzoilern affair. rourth—To alienate us from Italy on the Roman question. ‘This entire combination las Jailed, England, fully reassured by owr declarations of sincerity, has just signed with us a treaty which is as valuable to us as it is to the Belgians and renders secure our northern frontier. Russia has not signed the treaty, as Bismarck expected, and public opinion throughout the empire of the Czar is more and more unfavorable to the exaggerated exten- sion of the Prussian monarchy, and is far from beit hostile tous. Spain has shown us nothing but cor- miles east by south of Paris. Strasbourg lies near | road communication the right hand corner of the map, ninety-two miles from Nancy and 312 miles from the captial, The re- tirement of the French from Nancy upon Toul, and the presence of a detachment of Prussians in the former piace and also at Frouard, shows that rail- ment with the Cabinet of Florence we have taken up our position again on the basis of the con- vention of the 16th of September, and a solu- von of the question has been accomplished to our common satisfaction and without raising any diMculty. Thus neither at London nor at St. Petersburg, nor at Madrid, nor at Florence has Bis- marck succeeded in carrying out his programme. ‘The sympathies of Denmark tor us continue to be as warm as they were before the war. Our feetis be- fore the port of Kiel, and great events will take place on that coast, Austria and Italy are filling up their armies. Unquestionably negotiations for peace cannot for an instant be entertained at a moment when the war has only just commenced, and when the national feeling declares itself with admirable energy. An idea of Weakness cannot vistt. the heart of a single Frenchman. So our relations with foreign Powera are what they should pe. The new Minister of Foreign Affairs will find the ground well prepared for him to pursue the work commenced by his pre- decessor. Parliamentary Proceediugs—Stormy Debate— Public Safety or the Dynasty. Parts, August 14, 1870, In the Corps Légisiatif yesterday M. Juies Simon presented a petition praying that members of religious communities be required to do military service like other citizens, The petttion has 8,000 signatures. MM. Arago, Pelletan, Ferry, Raspail and others introdued similar petitions. M. Gam- betta moved that a cominittee be appointed to con- sider the petitions and report on the same. M. Argance demanded that the war loan be raised to 2,500,000,000 francs. The Minister of Finance stated that having consulted with the oficers of the Pank of France be would support the proposition of M. Argance, M. Chagot moved that the delay in the payment of commercial bills be increased from thirty to forty five days, The Minister of the Interior answered that the government was prepared to accept the de- cision of the Chambers, and onty askea for prompt action. The motion was carried by a vote of 254 to 1. Count Palikao was asked why the name of Leboeuf appeared signed to a decree in the Journal Offciel, and replied that the decree was drawn up prior to Lebooul’s resignation, He stated that Marshal Bazaine was now absolute commander-in-chief of the army. M. Gambetta demanded immediate action on the proposal of M. Jules Favre, resolving that the Corps Légwilatit appoint a committee of defence. M. Picard thought the discussion on this subject should be conducted with closed doors, ‘The President decided that the debate should be open to the public. M. Gambetta declared there must be no trickery on such a subject, The Chamber must pronounce between the safety of the State and the safety of the dynas‘y. Great agitation and noisy interruptions. Count Palikao sald the government was not op- posed to the debate. M. Mathieu referred to the manifestations of ap- plause on the part of the spectators with which M, Gambetta’s attacks on the government had been re- ceived, and moved that the galleries be cleared, and that the Chambers go into secret session. ‘The spectators were then ordered out by the Presi- dent and the doors closed. After a stormy session the sitting was dissolved. The Senate and Corps Légisiatif are in session again to-day. The members have been requested by the governinent to remain in Paris, The text of the law voted yesterday by the Corps Legisiatif has been to-day officially promulgated, It 1s as follows:— First—The time allowed to make protests, and all acts with regard to appeais concerning all’ com- mereisi paper negotiated beiore the promulgation of this law 1s extended troai one month to forty- live days. Payment shail not be required of en- dorsers or other parties interesied during said time. Interest thereon Wil be due waiter maturliy up to the ume of payment, Secont—No lawsuit shall be carried on against citizens called upoo to render military service dur- ing the war, ih virtue of article second of the law of August 14, 1870, or against the Gardes Mobiles at present serving under the flag. La Liberté, of to-day, says that at a secret meeting esterday of the Corps Légisiatif, Jules Favre deve- ed wilh ability and moderation a proposition that lo a committee of defence, having supreme power, be appointed by Chambers, Count Palikao, With tact, avoided ay acrimonious discuss with Metz must be cnt. consequently becomes a point of much importance. It ts situated on the Parts and Strasbourg Raltiroad, about 200 miles from Paris and tweive miles from Nanoy. trength, Toul A Deputy asked the Count whether he wished to be @ Minister of the Tuileries or of the Chambers * Palikao replied that he had the utmost confideuce in the patriotism of the Chambers, and would ve guided by them; but he deemed the formation ofa) committee of defence incompatible with the regular dutles of the government. Deputy Gambetta made an abie Speech In favor of the proposition of M. Favre, bat on a vote being taken only fifty or sixty deputies voted for the moton and it was lost. PRUSSIA.

King William had his headquarters at Faulque mont yesterday, halfway between Metz and Saar. bruck, on the railroad between those cities, General orders have been issued trom the royal | headquarters that two francs be paid each maa Gaily ag commutation of rations. Blockade of the Great Rivers by the Frenc Lonpox, August 14, 1870, The British Consul at Hamburg telegraphs that the mouths of the rivers Elbe, Eider, Jalide Wesoer are blockaded by the French fleet. The Governor of the Island of feligo fused to grant a pilot permission to co: of truce boat to Cuxhaven, und THE SITY, IN FRANCE, iN A more diiticult task than to track the movemen. of the French and Prassian armies, according to the cable despatches, cannot well be tmagtned, From London conres the news that Napoleon has certainly retreated from Metz, and the statement 1s turther made that the city has been evacuated. From Paris Wwe are informed that the French army ta in front of Metz, and two days agoa despatch stated that immense quantities of suppties were being harried to that place. Between tnese contradictory state- ments we must seek forthe truth. The idea that Metz has been evacuated cannot be tolerated for @& moment. It is quite possible = that the place has been uncovered by the main body of the French army, bat Af it has been we may rest assured that a very large | garrison has been left there, General Changarnier 4s reported in command of that fortress, which is one of the strongest in Europe, and there is but little prospect of the old veteran surrendering while his men have a ration of food, Supposing, then, that Metz has been uncovered, the French army would be east of the Moselle, on the range of hills in front of the Mense, It is certain, ‘however, that the army cannot have retired from Metz, because if it had we could not ,at this time have had telegrams from there dated up to noon of yesterday. Besides, in his address to the army, Count Palikao speaks of a first line from Thionviile to Metz and from thence to Nancy, which certainly meahs something more than mere bumcombe, The occupation of Frouard by the Prussians wouta destroy railroad communication between Metz and Paris, but would not prevent supplies from reaching that place. To begin with, it ts evident that the French hold the road from Metz to Bellevilie, and from thence to the fortress of Toul 4 but a few miles (not more than ten). It would be an easy thing to forward provisions on this road, particularly as there ts at present no enc- my very near by. But tf this road 1s even impracti- cable there is yet another route. There is the rail- road from Drerkirk which forms connection with the Metz and Treves road near Thionville. Thus far there have been no movements whatever on this road so that we must conclude the communication. to be still intact. By this time the forces of the Crown Prince have certainly united with the matin body of the Prussian army, Nancy, it seems, has been occupied by a detachment of the enemy: but whether the occupa- ton was temporary or not we bave no means of judging. “With the German headquarte: at Herny we should locate the army tn front of Metz, with its right resting near Gondreville, and stretching out along the hills in rear of the river Nied, across the railroad to the town of Vomene, This portion would be good for advance as well as for defence.
