PARIS ON THE EVE OF REVOLUTION.
THE POLITICAL oUTLooK-sCENEs IN THE CITY.
tFROM An OCCASIONAL CORRESPONDENT
PARIS, Aug. 27.-Ihe analOgies between the
situation here and and ours in America in 1872 are
numerous and striking The notable leading s that
Government spent itself in trying to save the
Union and Slavery this tries TO France and
the Dynasty. IL is too many for its forces. The
analogy will be preserved, think, up to what will CORE
spond TO LncOlns ProelamatOn-thc Great oue-and to
its enforcement The reluctance with which Ministers
and the Right who have grown mp under and proted ny
the late system yield the pressure which is weakening
it and them is not astonishing but remarkable But they
do yield Note the halfway concession to the plan OF
adiuncon of Deputies TO the Committee OF Defense and
especially how, at the last minute they have supple
mented the concession OF two days ago the addition
by special Decree Therss to the list Of aduncts

like Trochu, supported from without, viii hdCe more
power than they would willingly give him. Keller's
proposition yesterday for continuation OF the session at
the capital il it is besieged, meant to checkmate

organization of tho Defense is the Committee OF

manence virtually accepted by Minister'S; you OBJ

second, but coaxed IL off. IL will come up again ana
again till stands upthis Legislative Executive Com
mittee. Chevreau's announcement that the "army OF
the Crown Prince that had seemed to stop day before
terday C25t) resumed its march yesterday" has curl
Gus significance in the manner OF it. You VIII see by the
official journal report that the Minister Of Commerce had
moment before spoken in sense that would seem to
show that he had received late the Minis
ter Of the Interior that the decision OF telling the
news had not been arrived at by Pakao and Chevreau
till after Duvenois had left them, aud the debates had
begun Cheyreau Is q very capable administrator ac-
cording the old system Of optimism and hugger mug
GER but in danger OF going down with the system he
elings 10. The system is falling, like so many other
things now into dsrray. You will see by the same re-
mort (which needs reading throughout of yesterdays
proceedings that Cheyreau Is charged with not sec
onding even his brother Minister Of Commerce with duly
efficient zeal The remarks OF Horace dc cheiseui ezem
