| THE PRUSSlAN MARCH ON PARIS.
LONDON, August 2I.-On Thursday evening
the headquarters Of the Prussian army were at
Bar-le-Duc. The advance reached a point
about midway between Chalops and Epernay.
The march on Paris was to be conducted leis-
urely by the Prussians, as no further opposition
was anticipated. There is authority for saving
| that the fortiications Of Paris, unless manned
| by at least 500, 600 men, are worthless

HORRORS OF THE PRUSSIAN INVASION.
NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE following is a
,recial TO the Courier des Etats Inis:
PARIS, Aug. 26.-Ip spite of the orders given
the commanders OF the enemy's army, the
Prus' ian invssion of lt,0 surpasses in horror the
r'collG ctions o: that Of 1914. At the War De.
partment accounts are received from ALI sides
of pillage, devastation, and OF summary execu-
tioDs, caused by the resistance of peasants TO
the invasion OF their homes. The Prussians
concede to them no rights OF deferce. The
Uhlans above all commit depredatiors worth,
Of the Cossacks Of other days.
THE EMPEROR.
Little Is said about the Emperor and with
good reason. Deeds, not recriminations. are
necessary. 1t will be time enough hereafter to
demand an account from him, who was the
origin Of our first disas ers.
THE EMPRESS.
The Empress shows the most noble davot;on
to the wounded. Every day she visits che mill
tary hospitals and extends care and consolation
to the victims OF the war. All ladies of rank
and high in social standing initiate her example
Ihere are, unfortunately. some exceptions to
this noble conduct.
PRUSSIAN ESPIONAGE.
The system Of Prussian espionaoe has even
stolen into somo Of the churches and sacred
places, where 1t would would scarcely be DOS
sible to discover and prevent is. One or two
examples have been made, which will probably
put an end to this secret connivance with the
enemy.
GERMANS NOT EXPELLED FROM PARIS.
In answer to the dispatch you addressed to
me, reply that 1t is untrue that al the German,
have been expelled from Paris. great mum.
Der left voluntarily before the opening OF hos
tlities; since which only one hundred or 90 Ger
mans, suspected Of conveying intelligence 70 the
enemy, have been expelled-that is all.
VALOR OF THE GARDE MOBILE.
ur young Garde Mobile is performing pro.
digies at Toul and Phalsburg. They hold the
superior enemy in check. At Strasburg they
have made number of successful sorties.
THE DEFENCE OF PARIS.
lniefs, 10 whose foresight We are indebted for
the fortifcations Of Paris, refuses obstinatelv
TO act on the committee OF defence. Count
Daru accepted this morning this difieult Office
The prospects Of siege, perhaps a lombard

THE MILITARY SITUATION.
Gallairdet also reviews the military situation,
which he represents as su bstantially, as already
given.
McMahon, whose effective force numbers
1861 600 men, extends his line from the valley Of
the Aisne to the frontier of Luxemburg, his
center resting at Ardennes. Bazaine has about
$4,000 men at Metz. The pert Of Mcmahon will
be to hold himself between Paris and Metz, and
In readiness to march to the relief Of the place

Frederick Charles, leaving Steinmetz to attend
to Bazaine at Metz, have gone with fresh troops
to reinforce the Crown Prince, who is advanc-
