Telecraphic communication with all points
in the departments Of Aube and Coted'or is
cut of. The minister of the interior authorizes
the statement that additional advices Of a
favorable character have been received from
the armies In the field, but informationis pur-
posely withheld from the public, as some Of the
journals indiscreetly give details which should
be kept back.
The Constitutional, answering the state
ment of the London Times that the French
are in desperate condition, shows that that
journal draws conclusions without waiting for
complete or authentic reports Of recent events,
and defes 1t to decide who new is in the best
military position, Bazaine or King William.
It adds that the hostility of the London Times
is accounted for by the fact that the proprie-
tors son married the daughter Of the Prussian
Ambassador at London. Some persons say,
in addition, that the paper has been heavily
subsidized by Bismarck.
It is reported that a Prussian spy near
Rheims. mistaking general officer for Mar
shal Mcmahon, fred at him twice, missed him.
but dangerously wounded an officer at his
side. The spy was secured.
The Journal Oficiel says that,the amount OF
the national loans taken yesterday is 62o,0oo,-
600 francs, when the lists were closed. Crowds
were sent away. The loan was quoted In open
market at 80, the same figure as rentes.
YThe press generally condemns the conduct
of the deputies Of the Left in the session Of
Yesterday. Gambetta's attacks are condemned
as ill-timed.
The Constitutional says, officially, that with
out going into details, we may affirm that
work on the Notifications of the capital is pro-
crossing with wonderful rapidity, and the
elan Is immense. The Prussian papers repre-
sent that Paris is not the Paris OF the period
between 1892 aand 1915. They will
discover their mistake. The capital proves
now as ever that she is the heart OF France.
She Is ready to receive the enemy. Neither
spies nor. .battallons can break down the walls
Of defence which her danger has cemented.
Should the Prusslans advance to the ramparts
of Paris, they will find this out,
The process of incorporating the National
Guard with the regular army has commenced.
