FRANCE.

PARIS, August "a - Telegraphic
communication with all points in the
Departments of Auber and Cote Dor
is cut off.
The Minister of the Interior au-
thorizes the statement that additional
advices of o favorable character have
been received from the armies 10 the
field, bat the information is purposely
withheld, as some journals indiscreet-
ly give details which should be kept
back.
The Constitutional, in answering
the assertions of the London Times,
that the French are in a desperate
condition. shows that that journal ar
rives at it's conclusions without wait
ing for the complete or authentic re-
ports of recent events, and defies it TO
decide now who is 10 the best mill
tary position, Bazaine or King Will
liam.
1t adds that the hostility of the
Times is accounted for by the fact
that the son of one of its proprietors
married the daughter of the Prus-
sian Ambassador at London, and
some persons say that In addition 20
this the journal has been heavily sub
sidized By Bismarck.
The CoRstituttonneL semi officially
says: Without entering into details,
we may affirm that the work on the
Notifications of the capital is pro-
crossing with wonderful rapidity,
and the elan Of the populace is i'm
mense.
Prussian papers represent that Par
is is not the Paris Of 1892 to 1915.
They will discover their mistake.
The Capital proves now, as ever. that
she is the heart Of France. She is
ready TO receive the enemy.
The process of incorporating the
National Guard with the regular
army has commenced.
1t is reported that Prussian spy,
near Rheims, mistakipg general Of
fcer for Marshal Mcmahon, fired
twice at him. He missed his aim, but
hit and dang srously wounded a SOL
dier standing by the side of the officer.
The spy was instantly secured.
The Journal OfcieL says that the
amount of national loan taken yester-
day, SO far as heard from. was &C.,
600, 900 francs, and when the lists were
closed last night, at least five thou
sand persons, waiting to subscribe
were sent away.
The returns from MarseilIes, Bor-
deaux, and several other large cities
have been received. The lists were
re opened this forenoon, and large
crowds were pressing forward to sub.
scribe. The loan is quoted in open
market at go francs 80 centimes, the
| same figures as rentes.
The rroca of fho oifxy 0onaraliu a0u,
demned the conduct of the Deputies
Of the Left, in yesterdays session o.
the Corps Legislatif, and Gambettas'
attack is denounced as ilI-timed.
