PARIS, Sept. 8, evening.-Great crowds of
the Garde Mobile and citizens, carrying the
French and American flags, made a demon
stration to. day before the American legation in
gratitude for the recognition of the French Re-
public by the United States. The letter of
Mr.. Washburne to Jules Favre gives great sat
isfaction, and the people seem to be persuaded
that the American government will interfere in
favor Of peace. The following proclamation
appears in extras and is placarded about the
city:
"The country is in danger. In the pre-
sence of the enemy all differences of opinion
and all opposition should disappear before the
general safety. Accused be he who can re-
tain personal desires or prejudices in such
supreme moment. The undersigned set aside
all opinions save one, that it is our duty to
offer our most energetic and absolute assist
ance, and make no conditions save that the
Republic be maintained. Let us all be buried
in the ruins of Paris rather than agree to the
dismemberment of France.

indicates the presence of the enemy at those
places. Communication continues with Me

from BaZaine.

PARIS, Sept. 7, evening-TSpecial to ths New

radical enough for them. All the Imperial ambas-
sadors have been recalled and new ones appointed.
Louis Blanc's nomination to London, publicly mem
toned heretofore most natural relation from his
long residence there and English popularity, has
to-day been substantially agreed on, subject to
the prompt recognition by England of the new

to discuss some chemical means of assisting the de-
fence.

ChalODs was by the Emperor's orders, who never
reliDquisbed his real command Stories of bad
ammunition are confirmed, and returned soldiers
openly display cartridges which are partly filled
with sand. Similar contractors frauds are coming
to light.
The aspect of Paris is that of a military camp.
The Mobiles and Garde Rationale dwell in the
streets. On all sides are men in uniforms. Regl-
ments of cavalry and artillery passing through

tons there are many narrowing scenes. Women
and children are endeayoring TO leave In thousands E
the railways now refuse to take baggage. As the
trains leave each departure, hundreds are left
behind; the women fret and weep and the children
At night there are no police but patrol of citi-
zens, who severely investigate everybody. No
places of amusement open, as most of the actors
belong to the National Guard, which at night has
possession of the boulevards The town Is as quiet
