} LONDON, September PA Tribune
correspondent at Paris, writing Tues
day, says: The attacks on the Gov
ernment continue, and are, If possible
more bitter now that we are al shut
up together. Some OF the Red or
gans, the Reveille, for instance, insist
there shall be no Peace on any terms,
that the war must go on at all haz-
: ards until victory is won. These
same people insist on a clean sweep
in public Offices, so that the whole OF
the administrative badly employed
under the empire, rank and file as
well as heads OF departments, shall
give way TO new men.
The Government is doing its very
best, but the Reds arc getting louder
each day in their dissatisfaction.
They threaten seriously to hamper
I the Government, and it may DO be-
fore long Paris may regard the incom-
ing of the Prussians a lesser evil than
their supremacy. We are doing well
enough about provisions and supplies.
The Government fixes the price Of
meat, which is As cheap, / dare say
as in New York. 1t is not yet more
I than twenty cents per pound. There
is no scarcity Of animal food, and the
supply of bread is unlimited. For
I wine the Prussians outside may envy
us. The city seems unusually healthy;
even the smallpox has disappeared,
or at least we hear nothing OF it. The
people forget to be III in the midst of
war. We are waiting, in no little eX-
citement, the return of NavTe from the
! Prussian headquarters, but those well
informed have slight hopes of his sue
cess.
Another correspondent writes Tues
day; The fight of yesterday, at Chat
! tc0n, was anything but satisfactory.
ltappears that originally General
/ TrOchu having reviewed his forces he
( remained to defend Paris without the
/ help Of any army outside. He made
up his mind TO give up all the strong
! places beyond the line Of the forts.
when suddenly came DuerOt, from Sc
dan, in the guise of "A peasant Here
was n general fit to be trusted with n

should have an army Of 0,O00 men TO
defend certain heights. They came
! to trial yesterday, and the most i'm
| pOTtant incident of the day was the
/ fight of the ZOuaVes. The b0asted
ZOuaves, without firing q shot ran in
to Paris, amid execTatiOns and hOOt-
! ings. They have been arrested in
great numbers, and it is proposed to
shoot them, or at least make a good
example of them in the Champs de
Mars. The young Mobiles did better.
They stood their ground. But the re-
suit of all is that the army of Duerot
has returned behind the forts, and
General TrOchu falls back upon his
original idea Of defending Paris by it.

Louis Blame writes on the 18th from
Paris: 'They have been fighting to-
day all around Paris, with alterna-
tiOns Ofsuecess and disadvantages. Tie
city is full of spirits, yet calm. The
National Guard has shown itself FesO-
lutte, and the Guard Mobile, coming
from all parts of the country, display
that careless gravity so characteristic
of the French. We are sad, yet hope.
ful. Don't suppose we expect to es-
cape from the consequences Of 4 war
into which we have been dragged in
spite of ourselves. We desire peace
on equitable and honorable conditions.
If we can not have that, Yves are ready
to accept war to the knife"
Another correspondent writes ON
the Goth that the Champ EIysees are
lined with cavalry and infantry. Fly
ing artillery is near all the gates.
/ The Americans, with all other for
eigners now here, will leave for Tours
if bOmbardment begins.
Demi-lunes are erected before the
gates, the sides of which are lined
with boards covered with spikes and
crests with rows of stakes, to which
wires are fastened. In front of the
Notifications a.zOhe has been cleared
for n few hundred yards Beyond
that the houses and trees afford Shell
ter enough to the enemy. The guns
on the cnceiate are mostly of light
caliber.
A Tribune courier reports a CONVEX
sation with PruSsian staff Officers,
who laugh at the idea of Paris stand=4,

peatedly but was turned back by the
Prussian patrols. Finally he passed
the picllets on the st. Germain road,
and reached the headquarters. He
was notified by the Chief of the Crown
Princes staH, Blumenthal, chat he
was the last person who would be al

told he could not return without the
