New YORK, Aug. PIN. Gallandett
telegral hs from Paris last evening In
spite of the orders given by the comman-
ders of the enemie's armies. The Prus-
sian invasion of 1870 surpasses in horror
the recollections of that Of 1914 at the
war depot accounts are received from all
sides of pillage and devastation and OF
summary executions caused by the re-
sistance of the peasants to the invasion
of their homes The Prussian concede
to them no rights of defence. The
Uhlang have all committed depredations
unworthy Of the Cossaks Of other days.
Little is saidfabout the Emperor and
with good reason. Deeds, not recrimina-
tons are necessary, it will be time enough
hereafter to demand an account from him
who was the origin of our first disasters.
The Empress shows the most noble de-
votion to the wounded every day and
visits the military hospital and extends
care and consolation to the victims OF
war. All the ladies of rank and high in
social standing initiate her example.
There are unfortunately some exceptions
to this conduct.
LONDON, Aug. 27.-On Thursday even
ing the headquarters Of the Prusslan
army was at Bar lie Due. Their advance
| had reached point about midway be-
tween Chalons and Epernay. The march
on Paris was to be conducted leisurley by
the Prussians and no further opposition
was anticipated. There is authority for
saying that the Notifications of Paris, I'M
less manned by at least 800, 900 men are
worthless.
According to the French reports the
| city of Luneville is SO filled with Prus-
sian wounded, that thousands are left
unsheltered in the streets; Count Bis
marck' son is most seriously wounded.
That first reported, has been sent home
to Mannheim.
Bataille, the French General who was
wounded is recovering rapidly.
A GailIaudets dispatch says system
of Prussian espionage has even stolen In
to some Of the churches and sacred pla-
ces, where it would be scarcely possible
to discover it enc or two examples
made, will probably put all end to this
secret conniyance with the enemy.
| [ answer to dispatch which you adj
dressed to me, Ireply that it is untrue,
that all Germans have been expelled
| from Paris a great number left voiunta
rily before the opening of the hostilities
| since which only hundred or so of Ger
mans suspected of carrying news to the
enemy were expelled.
LONDON, Aug. 27.-Bourges, capital
city ct the Department of Cherburg is
fortifying. The Emperor and the mem
bers of the Senate and Corps Legislatif
will go thither the right wing of the
French army already have taken that di-
rection Austria has concurred in the
declaration of neutrality as proposed by
