In view of the threatened adoption Of Pres

policy towards Canada, including the with
drawal Of the bonding system, it is interesting
to know the immense accommodation which
Canada has afforded the United States by
permitting that country the free use of the
well and canal. In the year ending June 80,
1870, 2SSi American steam and sailing YES
sells with tonnage of ZAP tons, passed

necessarily entail like withdrawal of the use

THE SIEGE ACTUALLY BEGUN.

LONDON, September 23.-The I'ibunc's
Paris special writes:
The heavy guns at Fort Ivry did great
harm to the Prussans massed in the woods.
The French losses are not yet published, but
are reported as much less than the Prus
slams. Thus has commenced a series of
struggles, which inaugurates the siege Of
Paris, and which must now be terminated
either by victory and withdrawal of the
Prussians, or by defeat that will convert
every house into fortress. The plan of the
Garde Mobile is unquestionable. The resO-
luton of the National Guard is not less
firm, because less boisterous.
The provinces and communes are fast
coming in to the rescue Of the beleagured
subscribed $5O0,OO0, and thirteen others
$2,2O0, 900 toward the national defense. The
aspect of the streets changes wonderfully
from day to day. Fewer people are in
them; more shops are closed; more soldiers
are out, and fewer women; people grow
solemn. At 10 p. NJ. the cafes are regularly
closed, and by eleven o'clock the bOule-
wards are deserted. Ambulances, with
wounded soldiers, are continually passing,
and we hear grim rumOrs of houses and
whole streets being mined. Carriages pass
ing the line of the Notifications are for
hidden to 90 off a walk, for fear of OCCASION
ing explosions. Dread of spies has not yet
died out. Each man looks at his neighbOr
with suspicion.
Yesterday morning the most curious sign
of the siege was the number of foreign flags
flying about Paris. went to the English
Embassy, and there was the Union Jack
flying over the gateway in faubourg st. Ho-
more; and that there might be no mistake,
q great black board was put up to inform
the public that this is the English En-
bassy." Also a similar board on the garden
side, facing the Champs Elysees, and SINH
larly all foreign embassies have their flags
flying Every foreign resident in Paris hangs
out the flag of his nation. The number of
flags with the stars and stripes that meet
one in every street, gives q vivid idea Of the
regard in which the French capital is held
by the Americans. English flags are much
fewer. 1t is supposed that all houses COW
cred with such flags will be respected by
both belligerents. The red cross flags of
the society for the wounded are also very
frequent. If any one sets up private am
bulance in his house and allOts one or two
beds to the wounded, he may hang out a
red-cross flag. Among all the flags, the
American is the favOiite, and Mr.. Wash
hurne il, perhaps, the most popular man in
Paris.
