PARIS, Sept IA cable dispatch to
the New York Tribune says the new re-
publican government seems to count
much on the moral and material support
of the United States as their old ally. Its
organ, particularly LIE, Lecture Libre,
calls on Jules Favre to address himself for
aid to the Government at Washington.
These journals forget the influential
German population in the United States,
and that is the reason so large portion
of American republicans are on the Ger
man side.
Gen. Viney's corps is fast pushing into
Paris. The Prussiaus are advancing by
forced marches. The plan of the govern
ment is to leave the departments free to
organize their own defense, which plan
is universally approved. The Prus-
sian plan of attack on Paris, have reason
to believe is this: can advance by Melun
and FOntainbleau, to Versailles, while the
army now advancing from LaOn pushes on
to St. Denis. This latter force will make
an attack on Montmartre, but the main at
tack will be on the other side. The enc
my occupying Versailles and advancing
by the woods to Mendon and thence to
the heights of ClarmOnt, will throw up
earthworks and plant a battery against
Fort DisSay, and open fire on the van
guard.

Republic is Peace, But Yields not
OOt VI sui W
IrcSs. ....
PARIS, Sept. IA circular has just
been issued by Jules Favre, which con-
tains the following points:
The policy of France is peace, leaving
Germany the master of her own desti-
mics The King of Prussia had said he
made war against the dynasty and not
against the French. Yet the dynasty is
gone and France is free. Yet is this i'm
pious war continues VIII the King face
this responsibility before the world and
before history!
France yields not one foot of soil, not
stone of fortress. A shameless peace
means the determination of our cause and
that of Europe. We are undismayed.
The army is resolute and provided. Three
hundred thousand combatants can hold
Paris to the last. They can hold the city
for three months and conquer. If push
ed, France will arise and avenge it. Let
Europe know that The ministry have no
other aim or ambition than peace; but
war proving inevitable we will continue
the struggle, confident of triumph.

To-day there are symptoms of sadness
and detection. No one knows what's 10
be done. There is no fire, no spirit, in
the people. The cry is, The Prussians
are approaching, and the government is
busy distributing places. Yesterday
morning the police were dismissed and
Paris was left unprotected; but new men
have been put in their places to-day.
Troops are marching TO Paris. Many
bear the appearance of having been
through hard campaign and most have
seen battle. They look detected but

some of the red journals. There is an
