Against all this Wnrtenburg chafes. and
IS preparing to resist the projects of the
Prussian Crown.
The mission Of General Piole to Rome
has been entirely successful, and the
Italian army is moving to the front.
There are no symptoms remaining Of

Italy.
NV YoRK, August 26.
The proprietor of the leading French
organ in this city has positive informa-
ton from Paris that Bazaine has effected
q junction with MeMahon, and is now
psrfecting a grand s~trategical movement
which viii finish mp in a very few days
the army Of the Crown Prince. The
news received this afternoon. that the
Prussians were within 65 miles Of Paris.
IS considered Of no importance, in the
light Of events which occurred a week
ago. when the Prussians we're about SIS
near Paris as they are to-day. BRzaine
is known TO be anxious for the Prussian
army 10 push on 10 Paris, so as to fall
in the clutches of Trochu, who will be
ready to attack them in front, while Nc
Mahon and Bazaine will attack in the
rear and flank. That Paris is more hope
fnl there is not the least shadow of doubt.
All private dispatches from London this
evening acknowledge the same fact. and
were il not for the unpatriotic elamor in
the Corps Legislatif, the more conidant
feeling of those IN authority would be
shared by the entire Press and people.
The New York Tribune's special has a
report Of the siege of Pfalzburg. Ate.
describing the attack he saws: From
our position on the hill everything is to
be seen. Nov a puff Of white smoke
goes up on the left and a fierce rush
through the air tells of a passing shell
which falls in the town. Poor souls.
Within they did not fancy when the war
was declared, how. soon their rafiers
would be crushing about their ears. Yet
they live in a fortified place, and must
take their chance. We can not help a
wish that these shells may only damage
public property. as shrek after shrek
through the air tells of their passage.
Now there is a firing from the right.
The French gunners have manned their
pieces and reply in excellent style. Flash
after Hash comes out Of the old rampant.
The smoke curls up among those shade
trees where the garrisons have often met
on Summer evenings with pipes and RI
gars, and where nurse and maids have
brought the children 10 play. You who
have looked upon the old ramparts in
peace times, can fancy them now with
only soldiers upon them who are in no
sporting mood. There is fash after
fash from the ramparts, and from the
opposite rising ground there is a con-
slant vhistling and shriekiDg across the
space between and . filing of dust along
the Germans guns, or a crash in the
town as one side or thu other makes a
hit. 1.-THE Pfalsburg defsnses are in good
order, the determined commanders may
earn promotion BY q determined defense,
but should his works once get disabled
he is lost. The Germans having a
strong force, as VI can see, ready to ad-
ance after Weissenbourg, we know that
mere ramparts will not stop them. We
see the dark column Of smoke rising
above the trees and floating in the air.
The wind causing the church towers to
shoot out one column of smoke then
another. 1t is clear that the houses are
burning, but not so clear that the French
are silenced. They move more slowly
than their assailants and seem to aim
rather high. There is some heavy
metal in the booming reports which
come from the Pfalsburg ramparts.
Distant columns of dark smoke rise
from the town. Certainly the cannon
aiding dies away at evening and there is
no sign Of surrender.
LONDON, August 26.
