TLt following resolutions were yesterday adopted by the Executive Committee of the Union League of America: Jifsclrcd, That this committee heartily nympatLize with the Germans in their pre sent contest ith the Imperial despot of France, recognizing as we da that it is not a content of the French people against the German, bnt an effort on the part of an un principled adventurer to disturb the peace of Europe for his own personal aggrandize ment. Jicsolud, That the subordinate councils throughout the United States be requested to manifest in every proper way their sympathy lor the Germans, who have ever been the friends of education and civil and religious liberty. About half-past 8 o'clock last evening a fire broke out in Spangon's hair switch esta blishment, No. 14.s North Third street, which fwas extinguished before much damage was done. By order of the llayor, about forty boys, caught running with fire apparatus, were arrested by police of the Feurth District, and taken to the Cherry Street Station. Between !) and 10 o'clock a fire was dis covered in the third story of a building on the Bouth side of Carter's alley, below Third street, in the occupancy of Messrs. Carey & l'otts, coacn lamp manufacturers. The hre was discovered before it had made much pro gress, and speedily extinguished. Its origin was unknown. -Upon the coming on the ground of two of the fire companies, at a lurious rate of speed, the police made an at tempt to stop them, and for a few miuutes there was a very lively ti i:e. Several of the officers were struck, and they in turn drew their revolvers, but no shots were fired, nor were any arrests made. At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Fire Department, held last evening, at the Hall of the Fire Association, Fifth and North streets, the following nominations were made for assistant engineers. The election will bo held on the first Monday evening in September: First Division Frank Tibbet, Marion Hose; William Sweeney, Niagara Hose; Joseph Scarle, Good Will Engine.

The workmen of the Southwark Foundry at tended the funeral in a body. On Sunday the store of Messrs. J. C. Troefit & Co., No. 212 Church street, was broken into and robbed of silks to the value of about $1000. No arrests have been made. The regular annual picnic of the Fenian Brotherhood came off yesterday at Schuylkill Falls Park. There was by no means as large an attendance present as was expected; never theless those who were there seemed thoroughly to enjoy themselves. Domestic Affairs. Gold closed yesterday at 1VL The National Labor Congress, which has been in session in Cincinnati for several days past, adjourned yesterday sine die. At Davenport, Iowa, on Saturday, a woman drowned her two little children in a bucket of water and then drowned herself in a well. Judge Pearson commenced at Ilaleigh, N. C, yesterday, an investigation into the Wiley case. A large number of witnesses were examined, but nothing of importance was elicited.

LAST N1UUT.1 DESPATCHES. THE MAKCH ON PARIS THE PRUSSIANS ONLY BlXTSr MILES AWAY NOTHING TO CHECK THEIR PROGRESS EXPORTATION OF FOOD PROHIBITED . rEACE PROPOSITIONS DISSATISFACTION WITH QVEEN VICTORIA'S ACTION. London, August 22. (Special to New York Herald.) A dispatch from France announces that Ollivier has been attacked with brain fever and that his life is despaired of. A dispatch received hero from Paris states that an alarming demonstration by the people took place on Saturday, occasioned by a report that Marshal Bazaine was defeated. The dis turbance was only quelled by a bold declaration by Palikao that Bazaine had not been defeated, which statement was posted on the walls thoughout the city, and had thecflect of quiet ing the people. It was feared a reaction would take place. The report that the Crown Prince of Prussia was before Chalons is contradicted. It is be lieved he is now on the way to Paris. A dispatch irom Dantzic states that great excitement prevails there over the report that five blockaders were in sight and that more were on the way. A dispatch from Tilset says considerable alarm was created over the discovery of a quan tity of fire arms and ammunition in church yards and vaults, belonging to Polish revolu tionists. Many arrests have been made, in cluding several Poles and Russians of noble birth. A dispatch from Mezieres, dated to-day, says the loss of the Prussians in the last bit ties was fearful. More than 40,000 wounded remained on the -field of battle without assis tance. The Prussians have asked permission to send their wounded home through Belgium. The rumor which came from Luxemburg that the French had occupied Verdun, is con tradicted. Berlin journals print a letter from King William to Queen Augusta, dated Ilez jnville, August 19, of which the following is an ab stract: h 'rr7rT About CO P. M.. the lighting eased gradu al! Wuhout',tlU3 I should have acted as at.. Koajggai' Von lloon saved me this alterna tive. The troop.,lw e performed miracle of vaJor-againat au enemy ( equally ..brave, who witbdifiw by inches, resumed the offensive to bo again repulsed. 1 cannot foretell the enemy's fate. I shrink from loarnir.g'OUr losses. J had deb'geed livouackicg here, but I find, aftor some hor.r!1, that I am without my luggage. In fact I have not been rid of my clothing lor thiHy hours. Subscriptions as small as three francs are received at Taris to the new national war loan of one thousand million francs. It is said Prince Napoleon, after accompany ing his family to a place of safety in Italy, has returned to France. The Daily News copies, with approval, the Economist's article, concerning the Queen's perpetual absence from the seat of govern ment, even in a crisis like tho prosent. The News goes still further, and urges Premier Gladstone, instead of losing his valu able time in vibrating at the Queen's pleasure between the extremeties of the Island, be made at once Iicgent, with power to perforin the duties which she so persistently deserts, though so enormously paid to perform. Pap. is, August 20. Special to New York Sun. The Parisians are still ignorant of tho truth respecting the battle of Rezonvillo. They believe in a French victory. They are assured Bazaine w as the conqueror, and ho has already been successful in forming a junction with McMahon and tho cither decimated French forces at Chalons. They say, "Not one of the Prussians will get out of France. Bazaine has put them in a trap." Typhus and dysentery are killing 1500 Prussians every day. Such is the only news allowed to be circulated in the city. Tho cir culation of all foreign papers is vigorously prevented. Every railroad leading to the capital has been undermined, and the mines charged with pjrate of potassium. It is questionable whether a popular upris ing will take place, though many intelligent people expect one in a few days. No one thinks of the Emperor. Trochu governs, and is privately preparing the way for tho return of the Orleans family to power. The fliutloix says that the Diolomatic Corps now meets daily. The Fnglish embassy in this city anxiously awaits a favorable moment to introduce pro posals of peace. It is said that let the turn of events be what it may, interposition will certainly be made, and that before the end of this month. The Journal 0itii contradicts the report of the illness of the Emperor, and says that ho will command the Imperial Guard in the next great battle for tho defence of Paris. The Moniteur says the Emperor, and Prince Imperial were in camp at Courciclles, near Iiheiros last week, escorted by Cent Gardes and a company of cavalry. Profound enthusiasm was produced yester day by the passage through tho streets of American ambulances going to the front. Every one remarked the completeness and perfection of all the arrangements. A hundred priests, going to the army as volunteer assistants in hospitals, marched through Paris, carrying their knapsacks on their backs. The crowds were deeply moved by the spectacle. The quarries of Chaumont, mentioned by Palikao in his statement to the Corps Legis latif of the defeat of the Prince Royal on the 18tb, have been in existence for over six cen turies. They aro extensive, and have baen worked to a great depth. Tho Con.it itutionnel publishes a circular from the Minister of tho Interior to the pre fects of departments, announcing that orders have been given for a distribution of arnn to the people from the arsenals. Tho Minister continues, "Ann without delay; we are in a crisis when all must come forward for tho de fence of the country. Jnflamo tho young men by your patriotism, and use means to make soldiers of them." A decree in the Journal Officicl prohibits the exportation of grain, cattle or forage along the land frontier, Dunkesquo to Lanselbourg, and in the maritime line from St. Valerz to Dunkesque. Baron Nalartie publishes a notice to the Hanoverians who proposed to form a corps of sharpshooters, that their services will not bo accepted by the French government. The Moniteur praises Bazaine for his bravery and energy and Palikao for his able adminis tration of affairs, and calls them the sa viours of France. The Journal Officiel this morning, explain ing the lack of advices from Metz, says, "Tho military situation is such that this circum stance need not alarm, still less discourage. If the enemy has happened for the moment to hold Bazaine's army near Metz, he has done so at the cost of the greatest sacrifices, and he is at tho same time compelled to keep there the greater part of his army, viz: the corps of Frederick Charles and Steinnietz. "What, in the meantime, will the corps of the Prince Royal do march directly on Paris or join the other two corps in an effort to crush the army of Bazaine ? The latter supposition is more probable, but they must take into ac count an army reunited at Chalons, or some other point under orders of Marshal McMahon; an army which may place the Prussians in the game situation. They boast they have the army of Bazaine that is to say cut otf and blocked up. "Let us, with confidence, await events In any case supposing our" armies are de feated at Metz or -at Chalons, the Prussians may expect to encounter at Paris other and greater dilliculties, than any they have met with up to the present time. Paris, they may be sure, will defend herself to the last drop of blood, to the last cartridge. "She will thus give entire France all the time it needs to coYue to her defence, and then there will be no hope for those who have come to brave our ramparts. Not one of them will return to his country." J.n Liberie reports that Bazaiue succie le i in reaching the railway from Mazieres to Murtmedy and procured all the provisions he needed. Trains filled with supplies had bo.'U waiting for him at Sedan, it being dangerous to pwsfa them forward on account of the Puu bian scouts. - . ' . " " - Communication between Bazajne and MoMa' hon is kept up by couriers. j La Libert reiterates the : report of the flight of Ollivier, and adds: 'lle was seen yos terday at Caloz, S wilZ'rUnd, and bit'erly re. proaches the maj'.ity in tlm Chambers for deserting him." The Emperor left behind at Chalons his per sonal baggage and wagon train. It is reported that he is determined to charge with Mc Mahon's troops in the next battle. It was rumored yesterday that Persigny wrote a despairing letter to the Emperor, and that he endeavored to send it by telegraph, but its transmission was forbidden by a high func tionary. La Liberie pronounces the story false. The Prussians have issued a proclamation that all persons not soldiers of the French army found in arms against Prussia shall be tried by a military court, and on conviction shot. Ln Libert c advises the government to de clare, by decree, all members of the Garde Mobile franc-tircurs. The customs guards and foresters belong to the regular army. The Opinion yitionile urges tho formation of an army near Paris, and that the supremo command of the forces combined for tho de fence of Paris bo placed in the hands of a dic tator. Lonp-on, August22. The Tribune's special correspondent, writing from Chalons, on Fri day, says: From officers of the Cent Gardes, I have re ceived further details of the a Hair at Longu ville, on Monday last, which was in fact tlie beginning of a series of engagements extend ing with intervals over three days. Sunday afternoon, the Emperor, with an escort comprising the Cent Gardes, the Em press' dragoons and gen d' armoe elite, left Metz, and reached Longueville-les-Metz, which must not be confounded with Lonjjuevillo, near St. Avoid. At Longuevillo tho Emperor and household encamped for the night. Early on Monday morning they wero awakened by a cannon shot. Hushing out of their tents, they beheld shells falling all about. The escort mounted, and tho Emperor in stantly tumbled into his carriage. Tho Prus sian reconnoissance was easily driven hick, and the imperial carriages made their way through Gravelotte and Confims to Verdun. Now comes tho part of tho account of this retreat, or flight of the Emperor, which was made through the very midst of tho Prussian ai my, then lying around Mars-Ia Tour, where the next battle was to occur. The Emperor and his cfcort had no notion what peril they ran till afterward, but they ha 1 actually passed during the night through the edgo of tho Prussian lines. I saw the Em peror this morning. He is incredibly-altered, and looking not only much older but blotchnd and puffy, and moves about with an air quite helpless. London, August 22. A special Paris dis patch to the New York Times, dated to-day, says: ' ... The pretended victory of the Prussians at Rezonville on the 18th finds littlo credence here, notwithstanding tho dispatch of King William. It is believed that all is going well with the French army. 1 have from unques tionably good authority the following informa tion: The series of battles which concluded on Thursda-' only resulted in giving the Prussians command of the roads to Verdun, which di verge at Gravelotte. Communication by the north with Thionvillo still remained open Fri day afternoon and early Saturday morning. The main body of Bazaine's command suc ceeded in effecting the withdrawal from Metz by the gate of Thionville, between Fort St. Quentin and Mommies do Metz. The highway follows the left bank of the Moselle, and runs due north till within five miles of Thionville, where it strikes off in a northwesterly direction toward Longuyon and Montmecly on tho Bel gian frontier. 1 he great railroad following this line, and connecting Thionvillo with the fortresses of Sedan and Mezienes,from which latter point it proceeds due north to Rhcims, was still intact. By the latest accounts Bazaine was reported at Agincourt, near Montmedy, a town on the river Cheers, a tributary of theMeuse, twenty- live miles north of Verdun and fifty miles northwest of Metz. It was presumed tint his intention was to cross the Argonnes by Stenay to Vouziers, and thence strike down the vall jy of Aisne to St. Menahould, where, half way between Verdun and Chalons, a junction could readily be effected with McMahon. St. Menahould is thirty miles north of Vitry-le-Francois, and twenty five miles northwest of Chalons. The three places form a triangle, of which Chalons is the apex. At St. Mena hould a great battle will probably be fought, as it is thouglit McMahon is now on his way to join Bazaine at this objective point. Ire t rencn position covers all railroad lines and secures the retreat to Paris in case of de feat. Important movements in another di rection are in progress by the French troops of which 1 am not at liberty to speak, but which are expected to alter very materially the aspect of affairs. I give you these facts as the grounds for confidence which is still felt in well informed circles here regarding the plans of tho cam paign. THE CZAR. Ill L'ouiniUklons In the Prussian Kervlce. By a despatch published by us on Saturday it was seen that the Czar Alexander of Russia has sent his congratulations to the regiment bearing his name which fought so well and successfully at Wei6senburg. In the Prussian regular army the Czar of Russia has long borne honorary titles, conferred by the friendship of his royal cousin. The 1st Regiment of Grenadiers of the Royal Guard bears the name of Alexander, in honor of the Czar; the 6th Cuirassiers are known as the Nicholas regiment, after the name of his father; and the Czar is the colonel, by courtesy, cf the 3d Lancers, which is the regiment spoken of in the despatch. The fact thus reported Is quite enough to show that there is no foundation whatever for the rumors from Paris that Russia is alarmed at the Prussian victories. There is no more reason for alarm at the putting down of a Na poleon by Germany than at the arrest ot a com mon robber by the police; and Russia and Aus tria, it is reported from Washington, join in congratulating Prussia on tier victory. CUBA. Defeat f Vnlmaaeda with Heavy I.o Vel low Fever Flaying IIave with the Hpaalah Troopa.' A correspondent of a New York evening journal writes from Kingston, Jamaica, on August 8: Yalmaseda is here from liayatuo',! where he left wit n a command of 200Q men, On his way he was attacked by the Cifbaus; and lost r50 men, killed and woundfei, among them Colonel Cacaara, De Miguel, and many other1 ofrTcers, and all ol' General Taluieseda's bagge, cannon, and $(i0UO ia gold.

Another corps for the same place left Man zanillo under command of Colonel Barranco, bnt wan checked in his march by the com bined forces of Modesto Diaz, Hall and Mar cano, and retreated to Manzanillo, leaving in tfeeir hands all his. trains of fourteen cars. He made another attempt with 15,000 men, bnt again was repulsed, losing 300. Eighteen cars loaded with wounded reached Manzanillo. There are no troops fit for service in San tiago. The attaok on La Ceiba was abandoned for want of men. More troops from Spain are required. About 400 wounded and sick arrived here in the last two weeks. Over 500 nnfit for service, either from wounds or sick ness, or having Berved their time, left San tiago by last steamer. Yellow fever prevails among tho troops, and the hospitals are crowded.
