LONDON, September 8.-A letter
/ from Paris dated Sept. 7th, midnight,
says:
The city continues strangely calm
/ but underneath 1t is easy to discover
q serious feeling of apprehension.
There IS, beyond a doubt, a much
concealed desire for peace on any
terms, il preference to subjectiug the
capital TO the horror and danger of a
siege; but everybody is afraid to talk
of yielding.
The circular of Fayre is liked; it
Inspires with courage the doubling
and undecided.
The sombre weather increases the
depression.
Minister Washburne, at an unoffi :
cial interview with Jules FaVre, Mon

electric lights at various points.

The Uhlans are approaching fast.
What effect their actual arrival will
produce is hard TO say, but it is likely
to be defiance, although. if the ques
ton was honestly decided according
to the wishes Of the people, il would

bodies of troops have a scarcity of

rough citizens all go armed. A no.
tice to expel all the women and chill
dren from the city is anticipated to-
morrow.

The new Ministry is besieged with
the condition of the country. The
Ministers appear more anxious to
turn out the Imperialists, and provide
place for hungry Republicans, than to
guard against the approaching enemy.
The patriotic papers talk wildly. One
proposes to burn Paris like Moscow;
another to fill the mines with powder,
and another to let the Prussians In,
and kill them in the streets under
meath. There are deep fears of out
break and thieves, aud general plum
der and slaughter; this tear is really
as great as that of the advancing
Prussians,
The stories told in the English
papers of an interview between Ma
poleon and King William are mere
romances.

has ordered Rothschild to get his
chateau near Paris ready for the re-
ception of the royal headquarters on
Sunday night.
Tue value of the crown jewels in
1891 was estimated at $4,000, 900
francs, and the celebrated regent dia-
mond at II 100000. Their present
value is treble those amounts. There
is a rumor that the jewels have been
recently sent from the Bank of France
via Dieppe TO London. to the care Of
Rothschild.
The hope that the Prussians would
not arrive for eighteen days In falla-
cious. Now with good roads and an
uninterrupted passage. they doubtless
will be here by the middle of next
week. Their approach will doubt
less be made by Vincennes and
Dennis.
