| Mcmahon Evacuates Rheims to Re-
inforce Bazaine.
LONDON, Aug. ga special CORE
spondent of the New York Tribune from
Rheims, Tuesday, sends very important
and late news of French movements, which
was not allowed to be telegraphed yester-
day evening:
There were about $50, 900 troops in and
about Rheims, under Mcmahon. During
the night they began to move toward Ar
dennes, and are still moving in that direc-
ton. By noon this place will be entirely
evacuated. They take the road to Bethel
and Meniers, but even officers do not know
how far they will go in that direction. If
what is believed here about Bazaine be
true, the two armies will soon be united.
Bazaine is reported at headquarters to have
said he could beat the enemy on the goth,
but if he waited till the 25th he could an
initiate him.
This evening the march of troops which
began last night continues. Artillery, in
santry and cavalry came pouring in unin-
terruptedly through town. 1t is raining
hard to-day. l compute that nearly 200,-
600 men In all have passed. There Is no
longer any doubt about the direction of
this movement. From the officers of the
baggage and supply train learn that they
have orders to go direct to Montmedy.
Two baggage men who had tried to get to-
ward Verdun had been stopped by the
Uhlans, and all reports agree that every
road thither is picketed by the Prussians.
$4,000 French Reserves.
Reorganization proceeds with the utmost
dispatch. AS one example, train of 500
wagons, fully equipped, was organized and
reached Rheims, from Verdun, IN three
days. High officers here are positive that
a part Of Bazaine's forces are between
Briey and Etain. Our own movements
from Rheims to join him are made with
the utmost secrecy. The second army of
reserve, now forming near Chalons, COM
posed of old soldiers, will reach 100000
men. The Emperor will command the
Imperial Garde in person.
Enormous Extent of the Prussian
Invasion.
Our correspondent from the Crown
Princes headquarters, under date of 18th,
saws: No delay of advance. Town after
town is occupied. You may hear of, but
YOU can scarcely realize, the extent of the
invasion. While the Crown Prince has
advanced through Northern Alssce into
Lorraine, two other German armies have
entered French territory from Rhenish
Prussia, and the reserves are ever increas-
ing. 1t is no exaggerstion to say that the
conquered provinces will barely hold the
troops poured into them.
Raising the ChaIOns Camp.
Our special correspondent at Paris writes
that on Wednesday, before the Chalons
camp was raised, it was fired to prevent
the Prussians from occupying it, and to de-
stroy great quantity of stores which they
had no time to remove. Telegraph clerks
ders the previous evening to pack up.
The Adventurous UhIans.
PARIS, Aug. Pa courier of the enemy
was seen at Breune. The German Uhlans
also appeared in the reimbursement of
Loughe, but soon fell back to the northward
of a corps de aHmee marching towards
Chalons. The Prussian Prince Royal is said
to have been at Disier on the 23d.
The Defence of foul.
Half of the troops lately beseiging Toul
have been marched to Nancy. The garri-
son of Toul defend the place heroically.
The Prusslan bombardment thus far has
put but fifteen men h0rS du combat. The
beseigers on the contrary have sustain
ed serious losses.
BushwhaCkers.
People of the outskirts of Stenay, be-
tween Verdun and Mezieres, are defending
themselves against the raids of the Prus-
slams, and are inficting considerable dam
age on the enemy.
War news is communicated from the
Ministry of the Interior under the greatest
reserve,
Gen. Trochu, Governor, has vainly de-
manded the displacement of Piertre, Pre-
feet of Police.
Dynasty or NatiOnl
During discussion in the Corps Legis- |
latif yesterday, Jules Favre informed the
Deputies that in his opinion the recent !
French misfortunes were due to the lead |
ers. After denouncing them, he wanted to
know whether it was for a dynasty or the |
nation we are fighting?
The Minister of the Interior accounted |
for delays of kilograms by saying that the |
Generals were too busy fighting.
Bread for Forty Days.
The bakeries of Paris were all visited |
yesterday by the authorities to investigate |
whether they had supply of flour to last |
forty days according to average sales.
To Enroll All Between 20 and 30. |
1t is said the Committee of the Corps |
Legislatif charged with the consideration |
of military measures, have proposed to
enroll all men between 20 and 35.
In the Corps Legislatif Montpayreux
proposed the total abolition of the Garde |
Mobile, and distribution of men in the reg
ulsr army. He claimed the measure as urg- |
ent, and it would give the regular army at |
least hundred new regiments. At length |
the proposition was sent to the military |
committee, and it will no doubt be adopted. |
To Insure BeIgic Neutrality.
The Government has taken measures to |
cause Belgium to arrest the transportation |
of munitions of war or wounded soldiers |
across her territory.
IcOnOcIastic Vandalism.
A letter to the Univers says the cry of
herror rings throughout Alsatia, which has
been SO tried by war. Our magnificent
cathedral no longer exists. The Prussians
burned it after profaning the statue of the
Virgin by covering it with mud and break
ing it.
