PARIS, Sept. 7.--[Special to Now York
Times. 1.-The new republican government
seems to count much on the moral and material
support of the United States as their old
ally. Its organs, especially L'E2ecteur Libre,
this morning calls on Jules Favre to address
himself directly for and to the government at
Washington. These journals forget the in.
fuential German population in the United
States, and that is the reason so large a por-
ton of American Republicans are on the Ger
man side.
General Vinoy's corps is fast pushing into
Paris. The Prussians are advancing by forced
marches.
The plan of the republican government is
to leave departments free to organize their
own defence, which plan is universally ap-
proved.
The Prussian plan of attack on Paris, l
have reason to believe is this: An advance by
Meleurs and Fontainebleau to Versailles, while
the army now advancing from Laon pushes on
to Saint Denis.
This latter force will make an attack on
Montmartre, but the main attack will be on
the other side, the enemy occupying Yer
sailles, and advancing by road to Mendon, and
thence by Park d'Issay. On the heights of
Clamart they will throw up esrthworks, and
plant batteries against Fort d'Issay and open
fire on the vanguard.

engagement with the Prussians, in which he
| was worsted.

swindles. The 9TH regiment of the line re-
ceived blank cartridges, while other regiments
received cartridges made of sand.
PARIS, Sept. 6, evening Especial to New
York Herald. Paris last night was calm. To-
day there are symptoms of sadness and dejec-
tion. No one knows what is to be done.
| There is no fire or spirit in the people. The
| cry is s'the Prussians are coming" Yester-
| day all the police were dismissed and Paris
left unprotected, but new men have been put
into their places to-day. Troops are march
| ing into Paris. Many bear the appearance of
| having been through a hard campaign, and
most Of them have been in battle. They look
| detected but calm.
| General Trochu is attacked to-day by some
Red journals. There is an ugly rumor that
there are no balls to fit the calibre of many of
the cannon on the fortifcatons. Orders have
| been given for the arrest of Pietri, late pre-
| feet of police. Nearly all the country men,
bers of the Corps Legislatif have left the
capital.

thousand Chassepots were found in the cellars
