THE PARISIANs IN TERROR.
LONDON, August 26.-German Uhlans
are objects OF prodigious terror at Paris.
Their arrival there is momentarily eX-
pected. Patrols are stationed everywhere
in the vicinity TO announce the event.
WHAT M'MAHoN HAS DONE AND Is DOING.
LONDON, August 26.-The Times of this
morning has the following resume of the
situation: liking William, leaving suf-
fcient force before Metz, where the siege
works rise like exhalations, has Joined
the Crown Prince, who was pushing on
for Paris.
1.-THE movements of Marshal Mcmahon
begin now to be intelligible. A fugitive
from Woerth and eysding Metz, he passed
through Vosges to Moselle, to Nancy, and
to Chalons, where he was reinforced by
the Garde Mobile and volunteers. His
obvions aim has been TO bar the passage
and prevent the advance of the Crown
Prince on Paris, affecting to disregard
him. The Crown Prince moved on his
| flank past the camp at Chalons, offering
Mcmahon battle, which the latter de-
clined, retreating on Rheims and leaving
the Chalons camp all to the Prussisns.
Since that Rheims itself has been aban-
doned. 1t is obvious to notice that
| throughout part of the French tactics has
been to avoid fight. The Prussians are
now within q short march of Paris, where
perhaps some slight additional resistance
may be met"
LONDON PAPERS MIsREPREsRNT PUBLIC
