it has been ascertained that Russia

view of a partition of Eastero Eurone
and of the Turkish Empire. The
Russian feet in the Black Sea ex-
ceeds the limits set by the treaty of

and Tusle.
Especial Dispatch to the World
PARIS, September 9.-There is much
alarm among the holders of property
| in Paris, as to possible disorder 10
case of siege. The attitude of the
lower classes is thought to be very
threatening. Nevertheless the pre-
parations of Gen. Trochu for a siege
90 on with the most uDremitting
activity. Enormous supplies of am
munitIon have been received and dis
tributed to the various fortresses
within the past week. The forts at
Dennis, Romainville and Aubervil-
liers are thoroughly equipped, and it
is said the Notifications of the Capital
are entirely ready for three months
defense.
We have no accurate information
as to the position of the German ad-
vance. Reports are hourly brought
in, but most of them are obviously
based on the appearance of mere
scouting parties, fOragers or cavalry
scouts, along the line of the great
railways. There is an authentic rea-
son for believing that the enemy in
force have even reached Rheims. Up
to this time the impression here is,
even among the soldiers, that the
Prussians will be In sight Of ParisAby
Sunday morning next.
am enabled to inform you by au-
thority that in an interview held at
the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, M.
Jules Favre assured Lord Lyons that
the Republic did not invite the wars
of the Empire; that the Provisional
Government would, very gladly, con-
clude peace, as soon as possible, on
any terms not absolutely dangerous
and dishonorablc to France. Favre
asked his Lordship if the English
Cabinetswould interfere and suggest
terms of peace to be offered by the
Prussians, such as he could be assured
that France would accept.
Lord Lyons replied that though
England would, he believed, help to
bring the war to an end, he had no
authority to say that she would under
take to suggest terms of peace to
either combatant. Favre. then said it
would be impossible for France to
lake any such suggestions, and the
interview was brought to a close.
There is but one sentiment apparently
reigning throughout the provinces of
France. From all quarters. the cry of
war comes up, and throughout France
the people are organizing for a pro-
tracted and national conflict.
PARIS, September 10-A deputa-
ton of nearly FIVE hundred persons |
went in body to thank the American |
Minister for the prompt recognition |
of the Republic by the Republic of |
the United States. The American |
Minister thanked the population for |
their cordial applause. and said that /
America was most anxious for the /
success of republican institutions in /
France aud throughout Europe.
The Worlds London correspondent
teleRraphs: 1T is the impression here
In high official circles that France
will accept any terms short of dis
memberment of her territory, IN re
fusinR which she is supported BY Rus
sia. Itis believed the Republic will
consent to pay a large Indemnity. to
dismantle the frontier fortresses and
largely to reduce her standing army.
More than that, it is asserted IN the
highest quarters that they will not for
a moment be conceded. If Prussia
should insist on cession of Alsace
and Lorraine, or Strasbourg. war will
assume a most terrible character.
The general feeling in London is that
Germany has every right to demand
the expense of the war, with reason
able guarantees for her future securi-
ty, but that she has no right 10 at
tempt to degrade and humble France.
It is quite certain that If she attempts
TO do this, she will be met by one OF
the most formidable European coali-
tions ever formed. and that no man
can predict the issue of the conflict.
LONDON, September 10.-king Viii
liam has given orders that Napoleon
shall be treated as the Sovereign OF
France.
tits denied that Lord Lyons has
gone to King Williams headquarters.
The Standards correspondent, writ
ing from Paris, says:
The Prussians cannot successfully
besiege the city with their 6OO,OOO
men.
1T is said that the causualties of
the war, thus far, aggregate 4OO,O 600.
More than one half of this immense
number are all either dead or MANNED
for life.
PARIS, 6, pit. 10-Certain Ministers
of tho Finance, War and Foreign At
fairs, will go to Tours at once.
Gambetta, the Minister of the In
terror, will remain here, but will send
a delegate to Tours.
1t is believed that even If commu-
are cut, that matters have
been so arranged, that the authorities
viii manage to correspond between
Tours and Paris.
The Diplomatic Corps vii go to
Tours to-day.
