UNITED STATES.

NEW YORK, August 12.-The III-
6brle'S correspondent telegraphs from
London: "All France must have
gone mad about Prusslan spies,
as your special correspondent, jour
neying from London to France by
way of Ameins, Rheims and ChalOns,
says he was stopped at a little place
called Terguici, and questioned by the
custom house officers and gems d'arms.
He was asked to produce his papers,
and finally allowed most reluctantly
TO proceed when they were found to
be all right; yet this correspondent is
a French officer. After his eXamina-
ton was concluded, the authorities
apOlogized for thetrouble caused him !;
but he saw that they were compelled
to question everybody, so great was
popular suspicion"
A special correspondent writes from
Paris Wednesday evening as follows:
Extraordinary precautions were
taken to-day to protect the Corps Leg
islatif. Besides infantry and cavalry,
two batteries of artillery were In pO-
sitiOn.
"Sev,enty-nine Deputies voted for the
immediate discussion of the proposal
to increase of the national guard, and
one hundred and seventy for its post
pOnement.
"A forced currency of bank notes is
practically established, for a hundred
franc note cannot be changed without
paying premium. The Bank OF
France still processes to pay in specie,
but gives only specie for notes. The
run OH the bank to-day was very Sc
we're. Some persons will be CON-
PEELED to wait five years for their turn.

LONDON, August 12.-Our special
correspondent from Paris, on Thurs
day, writes: "Scraps of news about
the recent defeats are permitted to be
printed. At Reinehafer the soldiers
had no cartridges left; they had been
without any for an hour,
and had made repeated bayonet
charges. The Prussians moved them
down in masses. Ammunition was
on the way, being conveyed by rail,
but was stopped at the station nearest
the battle field by the explosion of
bombs from the Prussians. Prussian
spies had signaled the train to their
friends.
The Prussian armies are reported
penetrating France in three great di.
visions, by way Of Forbach or Metz,
by Weissenburg, and by Mulhouse.
They evidently intend to cross the
Vosges and make for Nancy.
The first thing the Prussians did
was to cut the telegraph lines and the
railway between StrasbOurg and st.
Auverne. St.Auverne is the key of the
VOsges, and if the Prussians are really
there, as there seems to be no doubt,
the eastern railway of France is
thrown wide open, and Saarbruck is,
of course, abandoned.
The French soldiers and officers are
furious at the want of organization.
On the 9th inst. no coffee was distrib-
uted until 6 o'clock at night. The
soldiers fought, fasting after The bat
tIp Vhera VVaa No diqfrihufion of food
for four days, and the soldiers lived

The French prisoners, as they pass

cigars, etc, and ladies enter the cars,
going from man to man, offering them
paper and pencils, and volunteer to

WASHINGTON, D. c., August r.
Attorney General Akerman, has
written an elaborate letter on the sub
iect of Georgia's reconstruction. He
declines to give his opinion en- the
late act passed by Congress, through
motives of professional etiquette; but
holds that the present State Constitu-
tion is the legal one; that it provides
for the election of half the Legisla-
ture during the present year, and that
therefore such election must be held
only at concession.
