NEW YORK, August 22.
Gaillardct, in his dispatch to this morn.
inC's Courier dcs EtdtS UnfS, says: ut is
with much difficulty that can obtain
positive information concerning the situA-
lion in the ncighbOrhoOd Of Metz. Mar
shal Bazaine still insists on the necessity
Of silence. Thisis wrong, inmy opinion,
for the anxiety which prevails in spite OF
the categoric declarations OF the Minister
Of War, is prGjudiCial to the national
cause. The bourgeois arc tlmid and dis
trustIll, and think there would be no mo-
tive to conceal any other than untaY0ra-
bic news, and their discomfort is led BY
tho not very rcassuring dispatches which
reach lis from Brussels and London.
II have myself seen the lNtcst dispatch
cs from Ba2aine. lie declares positively
that he is the victor, and that his strate:
getic movement has been accomplished
with success, but is attended with serious
losses. Why not give publicity to this
dispatch, and rcassurc unqulet spirits
Surely tho enemy could not gain from
them any useful information.
"To sum up, believe that tho inccssant
conbNts Of tic last seven days have been
favorable to us, but that they have not
vet brought about decisive results. One
fact is certain: The army OF the Prince
ROYAL Of Prussia continues its march on
Paris. Yesterday It was at Vitry lie
Francois, and il we may believe the re-
port which has reached the Corps Legls-
iatif; thas the appearance Of moving 70
turn the camp at ChalOns and fall upon
the Capital. Tho Emperor and McNlahon
arc NJ ChRlons. They have too great q
revenge to take 10 permit any movement
that is not likely TO be successful.
"The armament ofthe National guard is
complete, yesterday more than $4,000
guns were distributed, and Chcarean de-
clared to the Chambers TINT in few
days 100000 National Guards would be
under arms. Grain is arriving in great
quantities; the city is provisionCd Tor
more than eight months; all this certain.
" indicates that five are threatened
with a siege, We arc certainly 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"
