The Military Situation.

The news of military movements among the
contending armies in France is unusually
meagre this morning. Around Paris the
usual desu!tory firing goes on, the guns of
forts Mont Valerien, Rosny and Nogent espe-
cially keeping up an effective fire on the works
of the besiegers. A sharp encounter about
the neighborhood of Thionville is reported,
Prince Frederic Charles Eighth corps, from
Metz, having moved on that stronghold. The
First, Second and Ninth corps of Prince
Frederic Charles army are moving down the
valley of the Ouch towards Lyons, where extra
ordinary preparations are being made to with
stand the siege. A correspondent estimates that
France has outside of Paris five hundred and
thirty thousand men under arms and organized,
and that inside Trochu has at least two hun
dred and thirty thousand men whom he could
use for service in the field. These armies are
fully equipped with everything but artillery.
King Williams army about Paris is said to
have great numbers on the sick list. 1t must
be that there are too many discordant elements
among the French people, as the imprisoned
Emperor alleges in his interview with our cor
respondent, or else there would be some COM
bined movement on the part of these i'm
mense masses that would make King Williams
quarters too warm for him.

to England. Here, in 1888, he published his
''Des Idees Napoleoniennes." The year fol-
lowing he embarked on board small steamer
with Count Montholon, General voisin and
ffty-three others, and, landing near Boulosne,
endeavored to win over the garrison. Failing,
the party attempted to retreat, but were sur
rounded and captured. The Prince was tried
before the House Of Peers and sentenced to
perpetual Imprisonment in the fortress Of
Ham. Nearly six weary years were passed in
confinement. Louis Philippe refused to per-
NIT him to visit his dying father, although he
offered to bind himself to return. At length,
on May 25, 1916, he escaped from the fortress
disguised as workman and made his way to
England.
Henceforth the career of Napoleon was one
of success. True enough, he did act as a
special constable at the time of the Chartist
movement in London; but the day of his real
misfortunes had passed. In 1848 Louis
Philippe was dethroned and Napoleon returned
to France. All the ridicule which had attached
to him for his previous attempts on the throne
soon vanished. The prestige of his name

Europe. Half dozen departments elected

recover from her bewilderment the nephew OF
the great Napoleon sat upon an imperial
throne. What followed every reader OF con-
temporary history is aware Of He made
France wealthy beyond precedent; he restored
her to her rank among the great Powers; he
humbled Russia, beat Austria and freed Italy.
Had he given liberty to France his work would
have been surprisingly grand. But he ruled

twenty-five years, his first disaster overthrow

GREAT AND FATAL FIRE.-COn-
stantinople, June q. Yesterday al
ternoOn flames were discovered In
an old building in Pera. The efforts
of the tiremen to subdue them were
futile, and in a few hours the resi-
dences of the English, American
and Portuguese Ambassadors and
ConsuIates, Naom theatre, many
churches, mosques, thousand OF
houses and the richest stores and
shops in the eitv, were reduced TO
ashes. The loss OF life by the fall
ing of walls has been fearful. 1t Is
estimated that at least Thirty people
have been killed or injured by this
cause alone. The loss Of property
is immense, as the burnt district IN,
cludes one of the wealthiest and
best built quarters in the city.
