About half-past 3 o'clock yesterday after
roon a fire broke out in the rear portion of
the large four-storied brick building situated
hi the northeast corner of Twenty-Second and
Wood streets. The flames spread with great
inpidity, and soon enveloped the entire struc
ture. , The fire originated over the boilers in
the northeastern portion of the building.
The dtructure destroyed was built mainly of
brick, with a front on Twenty-second street
c.f one hundred feet, Rnd extending back on
Wood and Carlton streets a distance of one
hundred and thirty feet. That portion of
ihe buildiD fronting on Twenty-second and
Carlton streets was occupied as the Phcenix
rass foundry and iron railing manufactory.
The central part of the front building was
occupied by Wilson fc Fennimore, manufac
turers of paper hangings, whose wor'irooms
also extended to the hack portion of the
building. On tho corner of Twenty-second
nnd Wood streets was situated the Girard
finishing works.
The entire interior of the building", with
the machinery and stock, was destroyed, and
nothing is left but a mass of smouldering
ruins. The lite wai not entirely extinguished
until late last. night. A large number of
workmen are thrown out of employment by
this mishap.
The total loss by the fire is estimated at
$100,000, about equally divided on the build
ing and machinery and stock. The insuranoes
on the stock and machinery could not be ac
curately ascertained, but it is believed that
they about cover the losses.

Callowhill street, below Twenty-second,

TUB WAR.
TIIIS MORNING'S DESPATCHES
IRANCZ TBYINO TO EECOVEB THE PBTJBSIAN AD
VANCE CRITICAL STATS OF AFFAIRS IS PABI8
TPS POSSIBLE niSE AGAINST NAPOLEON.
Pabis, Aug. 8. The Journal Offkiel con
tains the following despatches:
Metz, Aug. 8 U-30 A. M. In the battle on
Saturday, near Keischoffer, MoMahon's chief
of staff. General Colson, was shot by the
Aiaranul s side.
General llaouli is among the missing.
Our artillery suffered heavily.
Marshal McMahon is now in communication
with General Failly.
Metz is being prepared for a vigorous de
fen ae. The General commanding the fortress
Las ordered the Germans and strangers to
provide themselves with a permission of resi
dence.
The General says that the relations of the
government of tne haiperor witn the iaro
peon powers continued to be everywhere sat
lhfactory, and he believes that the late events,
eo far from being prejudiced by this state of
affairs, render more significant the fact that
what the governments deBire in common with
France is the maintenance or European equi
librium.
An imperial decree has appeared, convok
ing the Senate and Corps Legislatif to-morrow.
The report of the Minister of War, approved
by the Emperor, is published in the official
journal. The minister says: "Existing cir
cumstances oblige us to provide for the de
fense of the capital, and to garrison it with
fresh troops, allowing all those whom the Em
peror keeps under cim to contend in open
country against the enemy, emboldened by
his first success to the point of marching on
Paris. But Paris will not be taken unawares.
The exterior of the forts received their arma
ments some time ago, and already we have
eowmenoed to arm the walls around the city.
. "A state of siege has been declared to
facilitate the execution of certain works which
will be commenced to-morrow. Thus the ex
terior of the forts are in a condition to . sus
tain a regular siege, and in a few days the
entire circuit of the walls will be found in a
aimilar condition. Neither strong arms nor
the devotion of the inhabitants will be want
ing foi tbet&si. lb Jti&iita GuftrU is t
defend the ramparts, which it will have helped
to render unassailable. Forty thousand men
taken from its ranks and added to the pre
sent garrison will be more than enough to
make an active and vigorous defense against
an enemy occupying an extended front. The
defense of Paris, then, will be assured; but
there is a point not less essential, it is the
necessity of filling tip the void in our army
with help of marine troops. .
"With the regiments still at our disposal
in France and Algeria, with the fourth batta
lion of each of our hundred regiments, in
cluding those members who belong to the
Garde Mobile, and with a portion of our gens
d'armcs, we may easily put into the field 150,
000 men. Besides this call the class of 1809
will give ns 00,000 men, who in a month will
become real, soldiers. But for this struggle
we can also employ the . entire National and
Mobile Gardes the companies of Irano
Tireurs, who are everywhere asking to be.
organized. Here we have 400,000; and,
finally, counting on the Garde Nationale Se
dentaire, France can then arm two millions of
defenders. Their arms are ready, and a mil
lion are still in reserve."
A decree has been issued ordering that the
Garde Nationale of Paris be detailed for the
defense of the capital, and that the fortifica
tions be placed in condition to resist an
attack.
A project of law will be presented to the
chambers incorporating in the National and
Mobile Garde citizens under thirty years of
age, who are not actually members.
Paris, Aug. 8. Americans here are receiv
ing their passports.
Ihe ministers have issued the following
proclamation:
"1 renebmen: Y e bave told tne whole truth.
It is for you now to do your duty. Let one
shout come from all from one end of France
to the other in sustaining the great cause.
Some of our rights have fallen before over
whelming numbers. The army has not been
defeated. Let the inhabitants of all parts of
Franco not subjeoted to the burden of war
rush to the assistance of their brothers in the
east. Let France be united. Heaven bless
our arms!"
Paris, Aug. 8. The Temps this evening
announces that Marshal Bazaine has been ap
pointed commander-in-chief and General
lrochu major-general of the army. General
Lebieuf retires.
London, Aug. 8 (Special to New York
Tribune). A special correspondent sends
from Nancy, Friday morniDg, the following
account of the battle at Weissenberg from
the French side: While General Douay's
division, composed of the Seventy-fourth aud
Fiftieth regiments of the line, Seventy-sixth
battalion of chasseurs on foot, one regiment
of Turcos, and one regiment of mounted
chasseurs, were busy yesterday in the neigh
borhood of Weissenberg, they were actually
startled by a tremendous discharge of
artillery. As the patrols, which had been
posted all along the frontier, bad not sig
nalled the presence of any Prussian
troops, the men believed for a moment that
they were surrounded by the enemy. This
was not the case, but the Prussians in great
force and well supplied with artillery appeared
on the heights of bcusvtrgen, occupying the
whole of the country near the small Bavarian
village. . General Douay ordered his troops to
advance before the enemy, keeping as much
as possible behind Weissenberg, which lay
just between them and the Prussian force.
But this precaution proved useless, because
the guns were pouring a tremendous fire
upon them and the troops were falling in
great numbers in the village of Weissenberg
itself.
The French retired from their former posi
tion and commenced marching on the right
side of the village. The Prussian guns were
firing at a tremendous rate, and the rounds
fell equally in Weissenberg as in the midst
of the troops. Several bouses were on tire,
and large numbers of soldiers lay dead or
wounded.
At about eleven o'clock General Vohcan's
division was commencing to retire. However,
a new attack was ordered. The Turcos led
the way, and, bayonet in hand, threw them
selves on one of the Prussian batteries of
artillery, but all proved to be useless.
Had the French insisted on attacking the
enemy any longer there would not have been
one of them left alive on the ground. As
soon as what was left of General Douay's
force began retiring the Prussian artillery
was after them. It was about 12 o'clock
when General Douay fell a victim to the
Prussian artillery. The troops began running
without order, crossing the roads and vine
yards until again reaching the farthest part
of Weissenberg. The number of dead and
wounded must be very large. The remain
ing troops are eager to avenge the death of
their late general.
The country people seem to be in the greatest
consternation. The roads which lead to Hage
nau are filled with peasants carrying their
goods and cattle with them, and crying over
the sad fate reserved to their humble cottages.
London, Aug. 8. William Wood, a survivor
of the battle of Bladensburg, is dead.
London, Aug. 8. (Special to New York
Tribune). The news from Paris grows hour
ly more serious. None but official accounts
can come by telegraph, and it is from letters
and Paris journals that all intelligence must
be gathered. The declaration ot a state of
siege does not repress popular demonstrations,
and it is very doubtful whether the govern
ment has the force to keep order, or to put
down any considerable demonstrations.
The republicans believe their hour ap-
Itroacbes, and Paris at this moment is as
ikely to rise against Napoleon as to arm
against Prussia, One of our correspondents,
writing Sunday evening, says the rage, fury
a nd disappointment of the Parisian popula
tion, at landing there bad been a series of de
feats on French sou instead of -an easy mm
tary promenade which they expected, are be
yond description. We already feel the state
of siege. All kiosks on the boulevard were
shut up at eleven o'clock. Something
serious, which I cannot fathom, has taken
place, for all the cafes on the boulevard are
shut up.
I could not get from Boulevard Montmar-
tre to Boulevard des Italians, it being barred
by troops. . I shall endeavor to telegraph this
fact to you, but feel very certain that the
news will not be allowed to pass. I expect
to Bee a frightful catastrophe from the temper
of the people.
The population is furious on reading the
proclamation of the Empress and Ministry,
saying the country may yet be saved if all
will be united, bometning - more serious
than J know of must have happened this
evening, from the state of the boulevards
which I have observed. Although troops are
in the streets new, there is much lees excite
ment than there was last night. As far as
know now so serious disturbance has taken
place.
Another correspondent says: "Official sup.
preseion of news will not much longer be
tolerated. What especially irritated the
people was that the only tolerably distinct
report of the Weisseuberg defeat printed
MARINE TELEGRAPH.
