ON the railroad. A part of the Prussian

PARIS, August 10.
The Presse publishes q proclamation
addressed by the Project of Strasburg
to the citizens. He says reports calcu-
lated to create uneasiness, have been
circulated. Some persons dared to ex-
press the belief that Strasburg will sur
render to the enemy without striking a
blow. Our ramparts are filled with a
hundred and our garrisons are large.
If We are attacked we will defend u
selves, so long as there is n man left.
Let all good citizens be reassured and let
the evil disposed tremble.

The Times says: In a fortnight, the
Emperor has more perfectly undermined
his throne than his enemies in a score
of years. Reassured by the plebiscite,
he has thrown away the votes of his
people and his dynasty.
An abstract of McMahon's report of
the battle of Woerth says: On the 9th,
the enemy attacked the nights of Guers-
dorf, opening with cannon and rifles.
The attack was SO violent that the first
division was compelled to change front.
Soon the Prussians made n feint from
the right of the Saar, and followed at

The Review refrains from specializing
on the war, because it says a few days
must determine the fate of France and
the Emperor. Probably the army will
take matters in its own hands, choose a
leader, and fight out the war.
The Spectator thinks the next battle
must decide the fate of the Empire, as
the popular faith in the Emperor is rap
idly vanishing.
The Post contradicts the evening papers
of yesterday, and asserts that the Prince
Imperial is with the Emperor.
1t is said a telegraphic blunder caused
McMahon's defeat.
Advices through Prussian channels to
the 18th, state that the Prussians have
taken II, 900 prisoners. Saarbruck was

arms and equipments on the road worth
a million of iorins.
