The report is confirmed that the

lican Ministry have determined to ar
rest them on their arrival here.
Rumors are also in circulation that
a difficulty existed between General
Trochu and the Ministers. The lat
ter gave way, and harmony has once
more returned to the Republican
Council. The difficulty arose on the
question of arming all classes of the

was premature and impoIitic. In the

PARIS, September THE new Re-
publican government seems to count
much on the moral and material sup
port of the United States, as their old
ally. Its organs. particularly Lete-
clure Liber, call on Jules Favre to
address himself directly for aid to the
government at Washington. These
journals forget the influential Ger
man population in the United States,
and that is the reason why so large
portion of American Republicans are
on the German side.
Gen. Vinoy's Corps is fast pushing
into Paris.
The Prussians are advancing by
forced marches.
The plan of the Republican gov
ernment is to leave the Departments
free to organize their own defense,
which plan is universally approved.
The Prussisn plan of attack on
Paris, have reason to believe is this !:
/ An advance by Melun aud FOntain-
/ bleau to Versailles, while the army
now advancing from Laon pushes on
/ to St. Denis, this latter force will
make an attack on Montmatre, but
the main attack will be on the other
/ side. The enemy are occupying Yer
sailles, and advancing by the wood to
Mendon, aud thence by the Park d.
| Issay to the heights of Clarmons, and
will throw up earthworks and plan
batteries against Fort D. Essay, and
open their fires on the vanguard.
Karatry is exceedingly unpopular.
The Journal lie SOir gives singu-
lar account of the interview between
King William and Emperor Napo
leon. The King behaved like a
brute, and but tor the intervention of
the Crown Prince and Bismarck, he
would have had the Emperor shot.

PARIS, Sept. THE last person
arrested by the Imperial police was
General Cluseret; and the first one
arrested by the Republic Is Princess
Mathilde. who was running away with
fifty one millions.
The Prussians have entered France
by way af Belfort, and are going to
Mulhausen. General Venoy with
30 600 men is coming from Sedan to
Laon. It is Tumored that he had an
engagement with the Prussiaus, in
which he was worsted. Every day
brings to light new Imperial swindles
One regiment of the line received
blank cartridges, while other regi
ments received cartridges made Of
sand. The manufacturers of Pari,
have constituted Henri Martin as one
of the majors, and gave an idea o
the character of others. Everything
is quiet. The provisions of the cit,
