PARIS, August 27-Evening
The Journal des De0atS or to-day has an editorial
article on the situation OF which the following Is an
extract:-
We have faith that all win do their duty in

Keratry, himself, moved political truce, and
public sentiment viii Judge all who try to break It,
There must now be but one thought-onc interest
to repuse the enemy.
The Stecie says:
1t is our dnty warn the public against the emo.
tion which the presence OF enemy before the
walls may produce. All must understand that the
strategic plans OF our generals may involve Paris
being left to lfdefence momentarily. There is

struggle and expel the enemy from her son.

One OF the city journals this evening has a re-
markaple editorial, OF which the following is an
extract:-
"Next to the of the approach OF the Prus.
slams to the walls OF Paris that which most occupies
the public altogether Is the possibility OF an omen
rupture between the government and General
Trochu. 1t is reported that the Empress has de-
manded the dismissal or General Tr0chu from his
position as governor OF Paris, but we can affirm
nothing positive. IL is nevertheless true that
person has been permitted TO express carelessly
the opinion that Trochu, In the presence of the
Empress. had been asked to retire"
late copy OF the journal 0f Nancy, which came
to hand to-day, says
That which wounds us more than all else Is the
condition OF our unfortunate farmers dweers in
our country Our tears Dow at the sight OF long
lines OF wagons laden with oats, hay ana provisions
OF every Kind TO be given over TO The Prussian armv
The fine horses which were TO prepare the earth for
the seed Of the iuture harvest have harnessed
TO the Prussian cannon. Since everything Is scat.
tered destroyed the day after the harvest it
equally follows that remarkable barrenness OF the
country must ensue. The difficulties OF an entire
year crowded Into one moment. The ruin IA
complete and unspeaKable. Long years VIII be
necessary TO repair the damages OF these few days
or INVASION.
