From the Cleveland Herald.
The Defenoes of Paris,

AS Paris is now substantially in n
state OF actual siege, we may sprculitc
upon its duration. Soon after the acccs-
sion OF Lonis Philippe in 1880, new for
titications were commenced. The old
town with its fortified Gordon was much
smaller than the present This old line
of deftnces is represented by the great
boulevard surrounding the interior, or
old, usually caIleJ the barricadcs, which
occupy the old parapets and moats. The
city occupies both banks of the Seine,
which divides it equally, aud it is about
seven miles in diameter A permanent
fortified front encloses the entire city,
the circuit OF which Is not far from
twenty miles. There are about ninety
basl lions with their adjacent curtains Of
about four hundred yards each from
angle To angle.
According to Mr.. Mahon, Professor
Of Engineering at West Point. who was
educated at The Polytechnic School of
France, the highest land in Paris and it's
envirous is tour hundred and fifty feet
above the Seine. Outside oi the fortified
front, among the villages which consti-
tute the suburbs, are twenty permanent
forts. capable of enduring Il siege. They
are from one to two miles from tile walls.
and from a defensive line oi about thirty
miles. There are no outworks or rcdans
connected with the front around Paris
unless they have been recently built,
neither do we know what fresh earth,
works have been thrown mp to aid in the
defence OF the outside line of forts.
Some hurriedly constructed earthworks
have been mentioned in the dispatches
~ thrown up within a week or two, but
at what points, or To what extent, has
not been clearly stated.
The crest OF The parapet along the
main or interior hne is about thirty feet
above the bottom Of the ditch. A stone
wall supports the parapet, but on the
outside OF the ditch there is no vertical
wall, but only slope Of earth repre-.
senling the counterscarp. Outside oi
this IL broad bernie and glacis ot
earth falling in slope away from the
ditch In the plane of the parappt. The
ditch may be filled with water FROM the
canals and thus turned into n moat.
But in Judging OF the resistance ot
this line Of works it must be remember
ed that they We're all built before heavy
rifed guns were brought into use. Tn,
Prussans cannot bring around Paris
men enough t. invest IL regularly on al
sides. To do this their outer parable
must be half mile to n mile from III,
outer forts, forming circuit OF thirty
tive TO forty miles, their camps being
two or three miles still further out
! Their policy will be 10 cut Off communi
cation aud to invest the weakest poin
by regular approaches. When one o.
two OF the forts are taken and breacI
made in the Fashioned fort, they viii
; virtually command the city. The inhabl
: tants can resist in the streets aud Mt tn
{ barricaaes, but only to ensure the d,
l. strue,ion of the city.
: We take il for granted that Geners
d froshu has men aud guns enough I
l'oidn tbs works around this ciry. 'Wk
