Paris Communications ONT.


LONDON, Sept ia despatch just received
in this city from Marienbourg states that the
Calais railroad and telegraph lines to Paris are
cut, and all further communication with the
besieged city severed. Passengers proceeding
to the frontier are compelled to take the lines
that go through the cities of the north of France
The People Downcast.
The people throughout France are downcast
in consequence of the absence of all organiza-
ton in both the military and civic departments.
There is
No Public Confidence
in the chiefs of departments, and the universal
sentiment is that of ineXpressible hopelessness
and yearning for constitutional head who shall
bring them out of this terrible chaos into some
toing like order. In the provinces, generally,
there is prevailing impression that could a
leader be found like the First Napoleon the po-
litical and social condition of France could be
speedily retrieved.
Desire for Peace.
Prominent amidst all this discussion there is
universal desire for peace. 1t is now known
that Bismarck will not consent to the signing of
any treaties for peace unless those treaties have
the sympathes and confidence of the people of
France.
The Feeling In BelGium
is strongly in favor of the French. This is we'll
known in France, and 100, 900 men could easily
be found in Belgium to fight for the defense of
France, but there is no one sufficiently influen-
tial and powerful to organize and lead them.
M. Thiers and Earl Granville.
The negotiations for peace that have been
carried on between Theirs and the British Gov
ernment terminated without any result favorable
to peace. Earl Granville, the English Foreign
Secretary, informed NJ. Theirs, on behalf of her
Majesty's Government, that all interference
having for its object terms of peaceful settle
ment between France and Prussia must be posi-
lively declined.
Theirs expressed to Earl Granville his regret
at the unsatisfactory termination of negotia-
Eons, and he reminded the Foreign Secretary of
the continuous efforts manifested in their seve-
raj interviews when terms were proposed to be
submitted to each of the belligerents by which
satisfactory peace might possibly have re-
suited. Lord Granville, with courtesy pecu-
liarly his own, remains firm and immovable in
the position he had taken in reference to peace
negotiations.
English Aid to France.
Considerable excitement is manifested at the
Prussian Embassy to-day in consequence of a
well-founded belief that large number of mus
kets have been sold to France since the war
commenced. This is regarded by the Prussian
Minister as an offense of considerable aggrava-
tion by neutral power, inasmuch as he has
reason to believe that the muskets were the pro-
perty of the British Government, and that the
sale was effected by the agents of the Crown.
The Fort of Vincennes Blown Up.
Tours, France, Sept. 1.-THE fort at Vim
cennes was blown up and destroyed yesterday

LONDON, Sept. II.
storminx for Peace.
The Economist of this city to-day has strong
article in favor of peace. The very oDJect OF

ooree that no great city shall hereafter be for
titled. S..
