NEW YORK, August 26.
A special telegram from Paris to the New
York Times, received tonight, says "Do not
expect specific intelligence from this side for
several days.; A great strategic movement is
in progress, the importance of which is to be
judged Of by the reserve of the generals and
authorities. All communications for the army
are stopped, and correspondents are; impri-
soned. Place no faith In the lying Prussian
organs in: London, or in journals counting
Prussian patronage in New Yo.k. The mill
tary prospects, Of; France are now clear rand,
more certain than at any time since the COM
mencement Of the campaign. The French
strategic combinations can scarcely tail to
achieve decisive results. They regard the de-
struction ofthe invading army"
