LONDON, August S.-The news from
Paris grows hourly more serious.
None hut official accounts can come by
telegraph, and it is from letters and the
Paris journals that all intelligence must
be gathered. The declaration of state
of seige does not repress the popular
demonstration, and it is very doubtful
whether the government has force
enough to keep order or to put down
any considerable demonstrations. The
rage, the fury, the disappointments OF
the Parisian population at finding there
had been series OF defeats on French
soil, instead of the easy military prom
enade which they expected, are beyond
description. The population is furious
on reading the proclamation of the Era
press and Ministry, saying the country
may yet be saved if all will be united.
Something mora serious than know
of must have happened this evening,
from the state of the Boulevards, which
| have observed. Although troops are
in the streets, there is much less excite
mcnt than last night.
Another correspondent says the Off
cial suppression of news will not much
longer be tolerated. What especially
irritated the people was that the only
tolerably distinct report of the Weissen-
berg defeat here printed was translated
from the English papers. This morn
ing's Rappel, just received, publishes
the following declaration "The under
signed Deputies met at the place Of the
Corps Legislatif They demand the i'm
mediate arming Of citizens. In the ac-
tual circumstances all France must be
armed and ready" Seventeen Depu-
ties sign this, among them Fsvre, Gre
mieux, Esqueras, Garmier, Pages, Ara
90. Pellitan, Pisardo and Jules Simon.
The press support the manifesto with
another saying France is invaded.
This manifesto is signed by the Avenir,
Cloche, Democratic, Rappel, Revel and
Steele. 1t is certain these Deputies and
| journals do not make this call to arms
for the defense of an Emperor whose
. military incapacity has brought disaster
on France.
Another correspondent writes: Ev-
erybodv here was mad this morning
-madder at noon--maddest 10 about
the revolutionary point at night. We
are swindled by the ministry about news.
Though the people may bear up against
defeats from the Prussians, they will
not much longer endure insult and
fraud from terror-stricken govern
ment The news of French defeats was
known in London and New York hours
before it was in Paris
( LONDON, August S.-Our special cor
respondent writes from Mayence on
Thursday: This evening came dis
patch from Weissenberg announcing a
Prussian victory and the occupation OF
Weissenberg. ! have obtained the fol-
lowing additional details: The King,
