THE STATESMAN.

LONDON:

TUURSDAY, JULY 6, 1815.

Another day has cosset] away and still no satisfac-
tory intel!igence f►om Park and the armies that were
approachinelt—nay, not even a word of any kind is

Elorded to relieve the deep anxiety which now prevails
iii dna public) mind. We have kept the press open
in the latest hour in expectation of being able to dis.
bipata the growing gloom occasioned by this Ohl
silence on a subject interesting to the world and to
humanity ; but we are still doomed to speculate in
lizik nes,. In this state of suspense we shall not

hazard many opinions, but our duty is to remark on
such circumstances as call for notice. It is now eight
days since the Allied armies were withiu a few miles of
Paris—anticipating a peaceful and triumphant entry

into that capital—it is now some days since we were
told so much appearance of opposition to this had been

eahibited, that the Allied Troops had been under
the necessity of commencing a bombardment of that
splendid city, and that they must have occupied it a

short time after this vigorous way of dealing was put
in practice—yet we hate still no assurance that thii is

the rect. The inference from this silence is, that the
'amours to this effect are not true. We are in-
formed that the Deal Telegraph reported, et the
close of yesterday evening, the arrival of an Officer
with Dispatches from France, bringing accounts of
en action in the vicinity of Paris, urged on by
the Allies, for the purpose of obtaining pos-
session tqf the heights, in which attempt it is
'ski they were successful.—We think, had
say such Officer or accounts arrived (for the Mes-
senger must have been in town before now), we
fhoti!il have bad some official notification of its The
gramd question is, has resistance been ventured upon
at all ? If it has, iii effects must be dreadful, and
NAPOLEON and the most determined of his followers

must have been in the midst of it to stimulate the
daring resolution. If the Duke of WELLINGTON .has
pot entered PelfiS, what could have prevented him,
after spurning at all offers tq treat with the present
Government ? If his Grace has not given a decided
negative to the propositions of the Commissioners,
it is made pretty evirkit that Prince &opine' would

not listen to them. Has the consequence of this beets
a union of all hearts and hands in and around the
french capital to defend it to the last, and perish with
their independence ; and have the Proclamations of

the coming Ntonarch, who is breathing vengeance
oa half the nation, tended to give the elements of

resistance additional strength ? It is by no means

unlikely that this i 3 the case. The greatest and
the mast speedy development of the remaining

force cf the country would ha made to second the
offers of peace—to save France from an anticipated
reign of horrors, and the lives of the most prominent
of her warriors and her statesmen. It is therefore
not improbable that the Provisional Government has
been sufficic,•iy alert to collect from the South and
West, and, perhaps, even from the North, a consi-
derable body of troops of the line, which, with the
Natiatial Guards and the armed Confederates who
pave cworn pot to allow the capital to be twice given
pp to the fore'gner, mty have induced the Allies to
pause, or driven them to the necessity of risking
hostile operations against the city. Paris might be
entered at malty points ; but unless possession of the
]heights which command it could be obtained, there
would lie no safety in Paris. The rumour regarding
action for thc heights of Montmartre says, Oa
Allies, after obtaining possession of that station,
turned the guns on the city.. But there must have
been dreadful work before this could have happened.
4nother rumour ati!tes, that the Prussians, in at.
teonptitig to enter the city, had sustained an immense
lost y the est:Act:ion of a mine, and been obliged to
vetreat. A third report will have it that Marshal
Gatiucia y, with the force from Sois.;onS, amounting
