Paris-The Calm Before the storm.
LONDON, Sept. IA cable special to
the Herald says letter from Pares of
Aug. 81 has been received here, of which
the following is an extract:
The people of Paris are perfectly calm,
sedate and united. This is actually the
condition of the majority in the capital,
and there is not the least appearance of
alarm or distress. Of course an early at
tack by large Prussian Army is expect
ed, which causes secret uneasiness, but
there is no outward expression either in
words or acts.
Within the past four days there have
been constant removals into the city of
furniture and other property, from the
surrounding villages likely to be occupied
by the Prussians. In spite of the incon-
venience and loss caused by these re-
movals, there is no complaining or grum-
bling, but every one submits readily tothe
pressure of the occasion. The appearance
of wagons and carts conveying movables,
and the constant passage of heavy loads
of hay and forage of various kinds, look
singular. There is nothing in the aspect
of Paris that would impress strangers
that there is anything unusual, or give an
idea that a great calamity impended over
the capital.
Whatever is thought of ehe situation,
its probable dangers in the eyes of the
people are al distance. There is GER
tainly nothing in the physiognamy of the
lovely city that gives it melancholy look
of being doomed to great damage or des-
truction at the hands of q foreign foe.
Everything goes on just as usual. Shops
all open, and gaily dressed. Though bust
ness appears to be following its usual
course, such is not the case; for the de-
parture of thousands of strangers has
given severe check to trade. This is
