PARIS, August 28.-The Prefecture and

ease Of siege at Paris
Up to Thursday morning the Prussans
had captured ten guns.
Two battalions of the Garde Mobile were
annihilated by the Prussian cavalry.
Seventeen officers and $50 soldiers were
captured.
The Prussians had one major severely,
The Constitutional says the army OF the
Prince Royal has been reinforced by part
Of the army of Frederick Charles, who Is
marching ON Paris through the valley OF
the Aube and Seine. The Prussians must
know how adventurous such an attempt
will be and the peril into which they are
leading their main army, which is closely
watched. Mcmahon may cut communica-
lions and place them between two fires.
To avoid this danger the Prussians made
great efforts, attacking Bazaine three times,
which the French successfully resisted,
when, despairing of their ability to con-
quer Bazaine, they decided to keep him
checked and march on Paris. From Paris
to the nearest point on the German from
tier there are hundreds of leagues, which
line the Prussians must defend in order to
subsist on the country. The Prussians must
extend their lines and disperse forces, a
thing SO fatal to us in the commencement of
the campaign. Our revenge, says the Con-
stitution,,el in conclusion, is near.
The FIGARO says the opinion prevailed in
the Corps Legislatif yesterday that the
Prussians may reach Paris In week. The
Journal says: The advance OF the Crown
Prince is fatal to the Prnsslan campaign
The Opi,io,s Rationale says: The battles
fought on the twenty-third and twenty
fourth resulted in wholesale slaughter OF
the Prussians. Some papers say Stelnmetz
was beaten in the former and Frederick
Charles in the latter battle. The forts
around Paris are armed, garrisoned and
provisioned. The removal Of the seat OF
government to Lyons is suggested.
A train Of American ambulances, under
the direction of Dr. Marion Sims, left this

members of the United States Sanitary Com
mission, accompanied the train in uniform.
