PARIS, August II, P. M.-The gar
rison and inhabitants of Strasburg are
making preparations to Withstand a
siege which will probably soon be

\ correspondent writes from Paris
Sunday night: 1t is still considered
uncertain whether the Emperor or
Bazaine commands. No decree has
vet made Bazaine Generalissimo Count
Palikaos statement is equivocal. Moth
ing proves that the Emperor may not
at any moment reappear at the head Of
the army. Changarnier is in great
favor but no command is yet assigned
him Nothing is yet known Of Nc
Mahon's position and it is probable
that he has been unable to rejoin the
army at a nearer place than Chalons.
