The WATER REGIsrRAR's OPFICE.-For some
time past the Water Registrar (Mr. s. X. BOnd)
and his assistant have been busily engaged in

There are yet many who have not paid, and in
few days the Inspector and Taper will be
engaged in shutting of the water from those
who have failed to pay the water tax (for laying

A despatch from Rheims, dated August %,
says
II was supposed that the armies of Mao
Mahon and Bazaine had effected q junction,
and, well supported by the quadrilateral COM
posed of the fortresses of Montmedy, Verdun,
Thionville, and Metz, would await an attack.
It was not expected that any important en-
gsgement would occur within two days.
The Emperor quilted Oourcelles last night
and goes to Brame, near scissors. Yester-
day the Imperial headquarters we're at Cha
Ions.
The grain mills in the valley of the Seine
and the Marne, and all their contents which
could not be removed, have been purposely
burned. The country people are destroying
the roads and doing all they can to impede
the march of the Prussian armies They
will burn or destroy such provisions as they
are unable to remove or store out of reach of
the Prussians. Prussian scouts have appeared
at Chalons and also atlSt Menehould. The
prefect of the latter town and all the railway
officials have left the place.
The Constitutional says:-''As the season
is so far advanced, the Government has con-
cluded not to give blouses to the Garde
Mobile. The blouses will be replaced by
warmer woollen garments, and the projects
have received orders to have them made
where the troops are raised This measure,
in sanitary point of view, is excellent, and,
BESIDES viii give work to large number of
people whom the war has reduced to idleness
and restitution"
Advices from Montmedy, dated August 81
say that 500 Prvusian cavalry have cat the
railway at Autun.
La LGberte says the Emperor, on the open
ing of the Chambers on January 1S, 1869, as
sured France that the military laws which
we're to be proposed and the appropriations
to be asked for, would place the country in a
condition to meet all emergencies. Are we
not right in saying that he who uttered this
and similar misstatements on that occasion is
what an overwhelming responsibility before
France invaded, before Europe astounded,
and before history!
