NEW YoRK, August %.
F. Gaillarde forwards a dispatch IL
The Courier des Flats Unis. which SAYS
II is with much difficulty that I can OBJ
tain positive information Of the situation
near Metz. Bazaine still insists on ths
necessity of silence. This is the cause
in my opinion, for the anxiety which pre-
walls in spite Of the declarations Of the
Minister ofwar. 1t is prejudicial to tht
national cause. The Bourgeois are timid
and distrustful. and think there would
be no motive to conceal other than bad
news. and their discomfort is fed by moi
reassuring'them by the dispatches which
reach us from Brussels and London. ]

the victor, and hat his strategic move.
ments have been accomplished with sue.
cess ; but are attended with serious
losses. Why not give publicity to this
dispatch, and reassure these disquieted
spirits? Surely, the enemy could not
gain from them any useful information.
To sun up, / believe the iucessant com.
bats of the last seven days have been
favorable to us; but they have not brought
about any decisive benefit. One fact is
certain, the army of the Prince Royal Of
Prussia continues lis march on Paris.
Yesterday it was at Vitry-le-Franeois; and
if we may believe reports which have
reached the Corps Legislatif, it has the
appearance of moving to Ameins, turn
the camp at Chalons, and fall upon the
Capital. The Emperor and McMa-
hon are at Chalons, and they have too
great a revenge to take to permit any
movement not likely to be successful.
The armament of the National Guard is
complete. Yesterday more than $4,000
guns were distributed, and Cheoreau de-
| clared to the Chambers that in a few
days 100. 900 National Guards would be
under arms. Grain arrivals in great
quantities are now received, and the city
is provisioned for more than S months.
All this certainly indicates that il w are
threatened with a siege. We are prepared
to sustain it. The people Of Paris are in
excellent spirits, and full Of patriotism
They will rise in this crisis to the hight
of the situation.

Late advices from E~rnsteintown. near

sieging Strasbourg have caused the peo-
pie of Ernsteintown to change the

SLAMS are between him and Paris. Nc
Mahon is also believed to be surrounded.
Conveys have gone forward with pro-
| visions TO supply both armies.
One hundred and sixty thousand men
have passed through Paris to the front
since Friday morning. 1t is generally
thought here, however, that the march
of the Prussians can not be arrested
before reaching Paris. II is said there
are now 0 1000 good troops at aud near
Paris. II il believed that one or more
decisive battles will give Paris TO the
Prussians.
