PARIS, Sept.-It is not true that Nc.
Mahon was wounded. His wife has
received a dispatch stating he is safe
and well, dated subsequently, to that
announcing his wound. M tl -
The attitude of the population OF
Paris this morning is tranquil, but
determined. The Republican party is
behaving periodically. All are
awaiting patiently the sitting of the
Chamber at noon. There is no fear OF
rioters. f-E 1a di -st -
The movements in Paris, whatever
change takes place, will be effected
quietly. The general opinion points
to but one result. Inecd not specify
more than to say that history will
repeat itslf. The cause Of France is
imperild, but not lost. Every man is
determined to die sooner than yield.
The hopes of France are turned to
Bazaine, with the fortress still intact.
With levy en- mrsse, the country can
soon recover from the blow, the main
obstacle having been removed
The last contingent of men from
twenty-six to thirty-five including
merely bachelors and widowers, will
furnish to France l, 100000 combatants
The defeat of Mcmahon is disas-
trous but it has given time to Paris
to mature her defences. The position
is far better than when France, under
the Republic, had to fight the whole
of Europe. l shall telegraph during
the day. 81. EHr-- ID
Colossal Armies to be Collected.
PARIS, September 5-morning.-
The Provisional Governor has taken
possession of the Office without the
slightest disorder. All the Ministers
are acting with energy. An order for
the immediate formation of colossal
armies has been issued. Over 100000
men are nearly ready to take the bat
tle-field. In view of the events in
Paris, the Senate is suppressed and
the Corps Legislatif dissolved. An
important fraction of the Chambers
have met at President Schneider
residence, and seem disposed to act
independently of the Provisional
Government, to whom, however, they
have sent a delegation. The officers
and soldiers fratcrnize with the PEG.
pie and place themselves under the
orders of the Government, which is
in permanent session at the Hotel de
Vile, under the Presidency of Gene
raj TrOchu. The Francois tiraillcurs,
of Paris, guard ali the Ministers and
public officers snd evince the utmost
desire to be courteous. 1t is understood
that the Government will convoke q
Constituent Assembly. The Paris
journals, without exception, urge the
nation to make an unyeilding defense,
and declare the ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF
France impossible. The King OF
Prussia, they say, proclaimed that
he was waring only against Napoleon
1t now becomes evident he is warine
against the French people. The string
gle must be one of determination
The fleet must be ordered to treat
the seaports of Germany as the Pms.
sian armies treat the towns of Alsace
and Lorraine. The enemy must fee
what united Republican France can
accomplish. All men here must beal
arms.
Invading the Imperial Palace.
The correspondent of the Daily
News at Paris says, at 3 p. NJ. Sunday

throne and destroyed every thing

Napoleonic insignias, and carried
away and into the Seine all busts
