THE COMMANDER OF PARIS. Ufarahal I.oula Iturnauar tl'IIilllera. Nano. . In case of serious disaster to the French army, Hhe most important military command in the kmnire would be that of Paris. The dUcoo tented element of the capital, which the elec tions of last year showed to be largely in the tnalorUr. would probably be prompted by a defeat of the army Ju the field to some desperate vnd ii the city should fall into the bands of the Faubourgs uvob, In the event of Prussian success o the frontier, jNapoieon wouio do practically ll.ii ..J f1A mnlntakn n KHmmlail . t .( the capital, therefore, is one of the most cntlal things to the success ef the Emperor nd the stability of his throne. Marshal Can- uiherthad been In command of the city for line time previous to the outbreak of the war, it his presence in the fieia has created a dcuncv. the filling of which required the the Emperor. A cable telegram from Paris an nounces that Louis Baraguay d'llilliers, Marshal of France, and a devoted soldier of the first as well as of the second empire, has been appointed to this responsible command. Louis Baraguay d'llilliers is the son of one of the generals of the first Napoleon, and was born on the 6th of September, 1795. He Is therefore of the advanced age of 75, almost too old for active service in the field, although not too old to keep a sharp eye on the turbulent French capital. He began bis military career in 130(5, by entering nominally the 1st Regiment of Dragoons, but in reality by proceeding to the rrytanee Militaire. He left the rrytanee in 1812, joined the 1st Regiment of Chasseurs in the Russian expedition, and was present at the battle of Moskowa. In the final campaigns of 1814-15 he took an active part, and distin guished himself at Champaubert, Brlenne, Montmlrall and Quatre-Bras, being always found at the post of danger. In 1833 he was ap pointed governor of the military school of St. Cyr, and with great energy repressed a serious republican demonstration on the part of the students at that institution. In 1841 he was ordered to Algeria, and ably seconded Mar shal Bugeaud in conquering the Arabs of that troublesome colony. He was made general of division In 1844, and at ttie revolution of 183 was in command of the 6th Division of the army nnd stationed at Besancon. lle.recognlzed the new republican regiim promptly and was re tained in his position. In 1849 he was appointed by the Prince President commander of the French troops in the Papal dominions, and sent on a special mission to Rome. He returned to France the following year, was elected a mem ber of the Legislative Assembly, and in Janu ary, 1851, was placed in command ef the third military division, which included the army of Paris, displacing General Changarnler. This appointment gave rise to much angry feeling, and led eventually to the tall of Baroche. He resigned the position, however, before the ac complishment of the coup d etat, and did not take office until the new Napoleonic system of government was fairly established. He then became a member and Vice-President of the Senate. In November, 1853, he was appointed French Ambassador at Constantinople, but held this position a year only, being recalled at his own request in April, 1854, and put in command of the corps sent to the Baltic to co-operate with the allied fleet. The fortress and garrison of Bomarsund were captured Angust 16, 1854, aud for this service he was rewarded with the baton of a marshal. At a later period, after having been in command of a military division in the south of France, he was again elevated to the dignity of a Senator. The Grand Cross of the Legion of Honor had been conferred upon him on December 11, 1850. In the Italian campaign of 1859 he rendered important services to the Emperor, and has been throughout one of his most zealous and trusted adherents. PRUSSIA IN THE BALTIC.

The determination of France to vigorously carry on navai operations ju tue uaitic invests a statement in a recent number of the French official journal with some interest. According to it tne iouowidjc appropriations were ruaae in the budget of the North German Confederation for this year: Basin at Wilhelmshaven 1,878,000 Fortifications and armament of that port .... 2,250,000 Basin at Kiel 1,879,000 Forttncatlons and armament of that port a. 250.000 Hydraullo works, dyking, etc., eto 662 9S0 Torpedoes 150,00J Construction and armament of new vessels ef war 6,862,500 There are seven vessels in course of construe' tion. At Wilhelmshaven the Great Elector, a cupola, iron-clad, to be completed In 1873; the Lonely, an aviso, in 1871, and a steamship for local use. At Kiel, the Frederick the Great, a cupola, iron-clad, in 1873, and an ordinary steamship. At Dantzic, the Hanse, an iron clad, in 1873; tne Ariaane, corvette, and the Albatross, both to be finished this year. The Nautilus, an aviso, in June, 1871. The Government is also ia treaty with En? land for the purchase of a steamship to be used for a naval school in the Baltic In order to raise the fleet in the Baltic to the force contem plated, there must be constructed between 1870-77, 11 lron-cladsKll corvettes, 7 avisos, and 3 transports. The port of Wilhelmshaven is the most im portant harbor for the newly-founded German navy. It is in the Bay of Jahde, on the North Sea, and was opened by King William on June 17. laBt year, ims port is a vast artificial con struction of granite, and comprises five separate harbors, with canals, sluices to regulate the tide, and an array of dry docks for ordinary and iron-clad vessels. The first harbor is an arti ficial basin, flanked by granite moles respec- a. i 1 jaia 1 litt r . n. . . tiveiy uw anu ww ieet long, xnis basin, called "the entrance," is 700 feet long and 350 wide, and leads to the first sluice, isi ieet ion? and 60 wide.

A Paris correspondent writes as follows, under Gate 01 Juiy iu: The Chaaaepot. Now that the Chassepot may be called into erious action a few words In reference to tue rowers of that rine may not be uninteresting This weapon was adopted in I860, and has not yet been tried in actual campaign The troops sent to save Rome from the Garibaldian bands were armed wita Chassepots when they em barked and exercised with them daring the passage to (Jlvita Vecchia. A brigade supported the Papal troop i. The Chassepot spoke for the first time at Montana. Its etfect was terrible., and the delighted com mander of the French trooos exclaimed. Vhassrpot fait merveWe." la Algeria the rapidity of firing and the range of the Chasse pot again did wonders. The powerful tribes Donl Meniaand Benl-Ghulll were forced to sub mit within two days, although hitherto, sur rounded by inundations and thick woods, they had occupied an impregnable position. There is little doubt that fear of the Chassepot aud long, straight streets went far towards saving Paris from a revolution at the time of the late plebiscite. There is nothing new under the sun. Breech-loaders were actually proposed duriDg the time of Napoleon I, ('and that Emperor Is caid to have foniKen and nn'lr- fclOoU UC MUkOilUgUa Wllicii AVaiU iiVU their introduction some days before his death. In the MuFee de l'Artillerie there is a revolver, matchlock musket and an arm called l'Amusette of Marechal Saxe. In the "Corrcspondance da Napoicon I" is a letter from the Minister of Police to the Emperor, concerning a breech loader, patented by Pauly, a gunmakcr of Paris. Pauly received a gratuity of ten thousand francs, and his system was submitted to a mili tary commission. It was rejected as being too complicated and unfit for a campaign. From respect for M. Pauly the commission kept silence and rejected the arm without publishing its defects. The idea of breech-loaders, how ever, was not abandoned, and in 1813-14 a manufactory was established at St. Eustace for the fabrication of guns and pistols a la Pauly. The result was not satisfactory. The Needle-Kiin. In 1835 Lefaucheux (who, like Drcysse, the father of the celebrated Prussian needle-gun, had been employed in Pauly's manufactory) produced a rilled breech-loader, but it was unfit for soldiers in actual service. The Prussians took every precaution to conceal the advantages of their needle-gun from other powers, and throughout Europe, in France especially, officers of distinction laughed at it. The Prussian cam paign and Sadowa, however, astonished the military wiseacres. When the thirty-first and last volume of the "Correspondance de Napo leon I" was about to appear, the son of a com panion of the Emperor at St. Helena found among his father's papers "The Project of a New Organization of the Army," written b 3. .nila111 Vilmcnlf anA In wntnn uniiin.a tkA Hdl.V'VYH MIU.BVii m4 u iiuivm I i 0 bug lowing: The lniantry mueKct, witn its Dayonet, is tne most perfect arm invented by man. Clever mechanicians have made attempts to load the musket at the breech, to charge it with fulmi nating powder for fifteen or twenty shots at a time, to suppress tne nintiocKS. inese attempts have not yet answered the requirements; but everything leads to hope for success from the progress made by the chemical and mechanical arts. When these ameliorations are adopted the firing will be more active. At the present time, of six or seven shots, one, at least, misses either because the priming does not take fire or because it does not ignite the charge. Terrible Knglneaon Both .sides. Should war be declared tfie carnage will be frightful. Both France and Prussia are in pos session of engines for the destruction of human life more terrible than the Chassepot. The effect of Les Jiues au vommanaant, as the new mitrail- Ituses are piayiuiiy nicKnamea, nave been tried at Satory on three hundred horses bought from a knacker for a few francs each. There were two mitrailleuses on the ground. In less than three minutes the three hundred horses were killed. On Thursday a similar experiment was tried on five hundred with even more startling effect. All soldiers, however, are anxious to press forward to the frontier for death or destruction, Marecbal Caurobert, commanding the Army of Paris, among tne rest, lie demanded to be actively employed; but the Emperor replied, "lea, my dear Marechal. During my absence I require a man in Paris on whom I can rely. There is no one in whom I have more confidence than yourself." The French IHItrailleur. The mitrailleur, referred to In the above cor respondence, which is as yet untried in practi cal wariarc, is consiaerea oy tne .rrencn as tne most destructive military weapon known. Re cently three hundred wretched horses, already condemned to the poleax, were purchased at the rate of four or five francs each, and ranged at a considerable distance. Two mitrailleures were brought to play on them, and in three minutes after two discharges not one of the animals re mained standing. On a second occasion five hundred horses were brought down at a single trial. This formidable weapon is constructed as follows: It is a light 87-barrelled gun, arranged that its barrels may be discharged simultaneously, or con secutively. The 87 cartridge. Intended for one charge, are contained m a small box. A steel plate, with corresponding holes, is placed on the open box, winch is then reversed, aud the cartridges fall points foremost Into their respective holes. Tney are prevented from falling through by the rims at tbelr bases. The loaded plate is ttiea in troduced into tne breech-slot, and when the breech is closed by a lever, a number of steel pins, pressed by spiral springs, are only prevented from striking the percussion arrangement in the cartridges by a plate in front of them. When this case is moved slowly by a handle the cartridges are fired ono by one. If the plate be withdrawn rapidly they follow each other so quickly that their discbarge is all but simultaneous. The invention seems very well adapted for use in forts or other nermanent places of defense or oilense. but its car. riage and management In the field would prevent many ana insuperable oosiacies to its general use. EUROPEAN COMPLICATIONS FEARED. Our Navy to be Placed on a War Footing Kvery Available Veaael to be Immediately placed In Uoiiimleslon. A Washington despatch to the N. T. World says: Admiral Porter Is to be gratified, so. far as the limited appropriations of Congress for the pre sent fiscal year will permit. The navy is to be placed on a war footing. Orders have .gone for ward from the Navy Departmcnrto the com mandants of the Portsmouth, Boston, Brooklyn, and Philadelphia Navy Yards, to hasten with all possible speed the repair and completion of every vessel that can be placed in commission. If these orders are fulfilled the department will be able to put half-a-dozen efficient vessels in European waters before the middle of Sep tember. This sudden activity in the navy yards, of couree, has do other foundation than the very remote fear that the European situation ; may present some complications of interest to the Lnited States. Messra. Porter and Kobescn tnink that the navy ought to have 14,000 sea men, but the present complement cannot be in creased without further legislation. At the Portsmouth Navy Yard additional workmen have been put on, and the second class sciew-steamer California, of twenty-one' guns, and the fourth-class screw-steamer Nar ragansett, of five guns, are fitting out and re pairing, and will soon be ready lor sea. The Illinois, of the same rate as the California, is on the stocks. At the Charles town yard the commandant has received orders to fit for sea with despatch the new second-class screw-steamer Worcester, fifteen guns. It is also thought that other vessels lying at this yard, will be got ready for sea. Tne Connecticut, seventeen guns, aud Pennsylvania, twenty-one guns, with second-rate screw, are in the stocks. The Iowa, same rate and class, twenty-three guns, is laid up; and the Niagara, twelve guns; Shenandoah, ten guns; Ticonde roga, ten' guns, are repairing at this yard. At Brooklyn orders ' were sent some days since to put every available ship in condition for service wlUi all possi ble baste. Already two ships are ready for sea, and only await their stores and crews to be sent to any quarter of the world. The guuboat Nipsic, four guns, and the sailing sloop Guard, six runs, are nuder orders to proceed at once to the Fishing Banks to join the Frolic, on that station, in guarding the interests of the American fisheries on the banks. At the Philadelphia yard the Brook lyn is fitting out; she will be ready for sea by the 15lh of August, aud officers have been ordered to report for duty on that date. At the Washington yard the Kansas is being repaired, and is the only vessel of lmportanee here. PRUSSIA'S PREPARATIONS. The Fortreaata and Army of the Uhlne Before the Uct-laralloa of War. JVcm tht Corrfpotutencmf the Gauloti. , Ems, July 11 Prussia is prepared. Her for tresses are maintained with extreme attention to every necessary detail, and are on. such a footing as might be looked for were they to be besieged to-morrow. The troops undorarnn Within eight days the reserves and thoso absent on leave might bo in their plrces. The frontiers are studded with numerous bodies of troops. Coblentz alone has at present more than 5000 men in its garrison. There is at Cologne, at Saar-Louis, at Treves and at Saar bruck from 10,000 to 13,000 men supplied with every munition of war dewn to a pontoon train. The railroads are protected by veritable fortifica tions, and each buttress of the casemated towers is fitted for the reception of cannon. The tracks are Intersected by iron gates, per forated with loop-holes, and embrasures which can be formed into lines of defense in a single instant. The King of Prussia has sum moned to a consultation the commandant of the fortress of Mayence; General Goltz, command ing the 8th Division of Cavalry of the Guards; Colonel von Telle, commanding at F rank for t-on-the-Maln; General Count Stelnmetz, commanding the 1st Army Corps of Pomeranla at Konlgsberg, one of the heroes of Sadowa; Count Donha-Schlobetten, the Colo nel Marshal of the royal househeld, and the commandant of the fortress of Coblentz. The 1st, Sd, and 6th Army Corps have already, I am assured, received orders to march to the Rhine fortresses. The movement of these three corps will reinforce the array of the Rhine to the Avtunt of about 40.000 men. whirh will hrlnn. the effective strength of the first bodies ol troops posted on this line of battle to 70,000 men.

It has been stated in print, and truthfully. that the principal cause of complaint on the part of General Grant against Mr. Motley was that, in spite of directions to the contrary, he wrote his own instructions ior his inter course with the Government of Great Bri tain, and it is assumed that therefore the Alabama claims controversy was not presented in Great Britain in substance as our uovernment wouia nave naa it submitted. and consequently the whole subject will be aeain taken up by Mr. .Motley s successor. Mr. Frelinghuysen. From an authentic source your correspondent learns, as matters now stand, Mr. FrcnnirhuyBen win noi De cnargea witn tne con duct of the Alabama claims controversy, the subiect having been removed to Washington for negotiation some months ago. Affairs may take such a turn as to require reference hereafter to our Minister, but at present there is no occasion for submitting the subiect to his care eneclnllv. From the same source it is learned that Mr. Fre linghuysen will be instructed to negotiate for the adoption of a treaty regulating the practice among oemgerenis upon tne seas during war. This Government has heretofore attempted, but without success, to periect a treaty with the great powers of Europo to make all private property exempt from capture at sea and then abolish all privateering. Nearly all the powers have from time to time consented to this basis of treaty, but England has refused. Mr. Fre- liDghuysen will, immediately upon his arrival in London, endeavor to conclude such a treaty with Great Britain, and there are reasons for believing that it ud 111 mirpepfl- Onr M IntatAra nf Vmnnn Prussia, Russia and theotherpowers of Europe will receive similar instructions to tnose given Mr. Frelinghuysen, and all will be directed to urge that these principles of maritime war shall become a part of the international law. Our ministers will also be instructed to urge as a rule of international law a blockade shall not be a restriction upon trade, but shall be a strictly military worn, tnus permitting mercnant vessels to pass blockading squadrons. If this can be accomplished, we shall have no more stoppage to our ocean mail service, and commerce upon the seas will be unobstructed by reason of the existence ot war Detween e ranee and Prussia.

The excitement occasioned by the publication of the secret treaty between France and Prussia is increasing as the evidence becomes more clear that the document is genu ine. Nearly all the journals of London have editorial remarks this morning on the subject, and they are all similar In tone. "France must explain this offensive treaty" are the words of the Times and the burden or tne London press. There is no question but that the press, and the Times particularly, are seeking to make this treaty a pretext for the intervention of England in favor of Prussia. The Attitude of Ireland is also commented upon. After giving the de tails of many meetings recently held in Ireland, and strong resolutions of sympathy for France which have been adopted, the Times asserts that this sympathy is altogether due to Catholicism, and in consequence of the hatred of German Protestantism.
