As for a diversion in their favor among the faubourgs, they need not count upon it, for at this time it would be difficult to restrain the summary vengeance of the people upon any individual convicted of treason. The Fortlllcalon of the Cltr. 1 visited this morning the liae of fertilisa tions between Neuilly and Autent. An army cf workmen, aided by Gardes Mobiles and wen of all military classes, were at work cut ting down trees in the Bois de Boulogne as far as the lakes. The bastions are supplied with mortar batteries, and cannon of very heavy calibre have been mounted on the ramparts, and across the roads drawbridges Lave been thrown. Poor 1'arU ! On the side of that city toward Tassy and Auteuil a large number of houses have been demolished. In short, this part of Taris, nee so beautiful, is entirely unreqognizable. On the Tlncennea Side (East) I am told the work of defense is pushed with still greater energy. An intrenched camp has been established in the plain of St. Maur, which commands the passage of the Jlarne. The inhabitants of all the surround ing localities have abandoned thoir houses tnd taken refuge in Tatis. 200,000 Troops About the City. As for the really effective force of troops to whom our defense is committed, I estimate it upon authentic data in the neigborhood of 200,000 men, of whom 15,000 are soldiers of the regular army, r.000 municipal guards end gendarmes, 10,000 sailors and marines, 70,000 Gardes Mobiles of the reserves and bat taillous de dopot, and about 100,000 National guards, firemen, etc. With this effective force, and provisions in abundance, we can hold the enemy in check for some time. Mcarclty of Army New. The news from the army of the Moselle is always scarce. What I am pormitted to send you is in substance this: Bazaine Preserve Intact his communications with Paris by tho western route. The last battle, delivered at Jau&iont, had no other result. Bazaine is also greatly strengthened by the vast fortifications of Metz and is still master of the line of retreat by way of Montmedy, Stenay, Vouziers, aud the valley of the Aisne. Ills Reinforcement. He can doubtless by the same route receive reinforcements,and I have reason to believe that part of the forces lately assembled at Chalons set out for that destination yesterday morning. The Prulnnat Met. The enemy's army around Metz has always been superior in numbers, but, decimatod by the late battles, is incapable, for the present at least, of resisting a violent attack. The reinforcements which it has received are composed of landwehr and of levies from the Southern States, hastily gathered for the in vasion of our couutry. The enormous losses which the Prussian army has sustained will hardly be encouraging to these new comers, and there is then a marked advantage in favor of our troops at Chalons, who defend the soil of their country from the invader. Indeed, we are all awaiting a brilliant revenge for Woerthe and Forbach. The Prusalaa Secret Service."

In Alsace and Lorraine the necessities of the Trussians by the exorbitant demands of their commissaries have exasperated the un happy people, who, pluudered, harassed, and abused, have inaugurated a guerilla war against their invaders. Moreover King Wil liam has launched a proclamation declaring that every individual not belonging to the French army and taken in open hostility to the PrusRlan army shall be shot. A rising of the people en mosf will bring a day of justice for all thesa insults and injuries. lotortnnt Mo vi:irntn Near Metz. Ixnpov, Aug. W. Bazaine has forced a passage by way of Autnn aud Longnyon, reaching Montmedy. It is reported that tho armies of the Trince Royal and Prince Frede rick Charles have formed ft jmui.ijn to the westward of Metz. Hpcedy Intervention Certain. Lonkox, Aug. i!-'5. It is almost certain th it an interposition of the great powera of Eu rope in tha Franco-Prussian question will take place within a few days. Paris journals continue to urge a levy ca masse to exterminate the invaders. "Keen Cool!" This morning's Opinion National:, under the caption of "Keep Cool," predicts tho do feat of the Prussians as tho result of the pending combinations. Klmiiarcli'n Mon. Herbert Bismarck, one of the sons of tho Prussian Trime Minister, was wounded in the foot, and his brother William had his horse killed under him. Defense of Paris.

A letter from Baden published here to-day says the French peasants are so fanatical as to poison the wells in Alsace. French Villages Destroyed. A correspondent of the Daily 2fees says in the battle of the 18th the French were flung back on St. Quontin, Vionville.Flavigny, Rezonville and Gravelotte. The villagos in the neighborhood of Metz where the battles of the past ten days have occurred have been nearly destroyed. The Bombardment of Toul has been commenced. The Camn at Chalons has been raised. The Emperor' Headquarter are now at Rheims. MaelHahon'a lleadiinarters are at Cerucelles. Bazaine Helnlorred and toTnlte the O (lenitive. London, Aug. .': 12 M. A special Paris despatch says the armies of King William and Steinmetz are reported to be too severely crippled to assume the offensive, and it is given out on high authority that Bazaine was reinforced from Chalons on Sunday for the purpose of 8lvinS battle to the enemy near Metz. He is confident of victory, when ho will march on the army of the Crown Prince and rescue Paris. It u in or of a French Victory. A report has reached London of a Freuch victory. Another special despatch from Paris says: ''Bazaine was yesterday at Metz. He has his north and centre ground entirely open to him, either for retreat or to receive rein forcements. The Appalling Prussian Losses have sent a thrill of horror throughout Ger many, and recruits are only to be had from among the country people and working nisn, nearly all of whom are raw. Bazaine professes to be master of the situation." Business Paralyzed. As'fwrBP, Aug. The war has paralyzed business here, but no failuras have yet been announced, nor are any anticipated. Here, as everywhere, the only hopes of resumption of commercial activity is based oa the speedy triumph of the Prussians. First t-oiirt-inartlnl of a raptured Spy.

The tpace covered by the design is quite large, and a handsome frame surmounts the whole. The penmanship was doue by Mr. J. W. Rassell. Altogether the thing i most novel and well worth examining.

A loafer named David Cy perheldt was yesterday arrested bv Oltlcer Kellcy, on a warrant Usued by the Mayor, for the theft of a set of fire equipments from the Pennsylvania Hoee House, Eighth street, below Green. whisky now. A PlMlllery Selted and Ty ,Hfi ArrenteA- The Mreond District station Narrounded by an Infuriated Mob-A Detail of marine Ordered Out. At half past 4 o'clock this morning, United States Revenue Officers Clark and McCa'tlley and Deputy I'nited States Marshals Kldgwayand Showers started on a raiding tour through the southeastern portion of tho city la search of Illicit whl6ky 'di8tllleiies,having information thai there was one In operation In that locality. Ou nearlng Second and Kced streets the smell of molanses mash was very plain, and the officers traced it to a ebanty at Rye and Bowcn streets. The door was opened and a still was found in full blast. Two men named Joseph Ellenger and John MeGinnis were discovered In the place, the latter asleep. They were taken into custody and escorted to the Second District Station, where they were locked up. The ollicers then returned to the distillery ana took possession of a barrel and a half of whisky and a still. After daylight the news of the arrest spread around the vicinity,and in a short time the station was sur rounded by an angry mob, who seemed intent upon a rescue of the prisoners. Towards 11 o clock the United States officials repaired to the lock-up for the purpose of conducting El lcnger and McGlnnls before thel nitod States Commissioner for a hearing. Tho Ulcers went down stairs, and after taking the prisoners out of the cells, escorted them to the front door. Hardly had the portals been passed when McGlnnls started up Second street and Ellcngcr toward Christian street. The Marshals attempted to seize them, when the crowd interfered and attempted to divert their attention. By this time a posse of policemen ran from the station and seized Kllengor and conducted him back to his cell. In the mean time there was a desperate bcuffie going on out side between the mob and the Marshals. Me Ginnis reached Fitz water street, down which he ran, pursued by an otiicer, and he by a crowd. The prisoner succeeded In entering a house on Front street, and by this means effected his escape. U. S. Deputy Marshals Ridgway, Murray and Beatc were pretty roughly handled by the crowd, who discharged pistols and nourished knives. The police,- during the melee, were busily engaged in making arrests of the prin cipal participants in the attack, and when the mob had dispersed It was found that throe were in custody all brothers of Ellengcr named James, Jacob, and William. It They were locked up, and the deputies re ported to Marshal Gregory that it would be worth their lives to attempt to take the Ellen gers before the U. 8. Commissioner. The Mar shal then gave orders to his deputies to proceed to the Navy Yard and obtain a detachment of marines. This was done,and the detail, consist ing of 30 men, under tho command of Sergeant Reese, proceeded to the station, and having opened ranks, tho Elleuger brothers were placed between the files and thus marched to the U. S. Court-room, followed by a large concourse of people. While confined in tho station Revenue Ollicer Clark went to the cell to have a talk with the prisoners. One of them drew a pocket-knife and mado a plunge at Mr. Clark through tho bars, but fortunately the weapon did not touch that officer. The distillery which was seized thi3 morning has been broken up ou several occasions, but heretofore no arrests wore made. Tho name of Ellcnger Is familiar to everybody who has read the police reports, and it has been a terror iu the southeastern pari or tne city.j THE TIEAKING. The prisoners, after being escorted to the rooms of United States Commissioner II i bier by the file of marines, were arraigned for ahearins. fJThe cbargo against Joseph Ellcnger was illicit distillation, while that against James, Jacob, and William Ellengcr was aiding and abetting In tne escape ot tue prisoner Aicuinuis, and in obstructing the United States officers.

At the c aclusion of this stage of the evidence. the Commissioner announced that the prisoner Joseph Ellcngcr would be bound over iu sfs :J000 bail to answer at court. The rest of the prisoners were then heard on the charge of resisting the authority of the ollicers, and in aiding in tne escape ot MeGinnis The three brothers were brought hand cuffed into the toom. The handcuffs were re moved previous to the hearing. The following was the testimony: Henutv Marshal Ridgway sworn Had two war rants th's morning to make the arrest of the men iu the distillery; arrested them there aud toos them to the Second District Station House; left them there, and returned to take them out; when we got tn th liavt ment one of the prisoners started und ran acrosH the street; caught him oa the pavement oa the other side, when 'William Ellenger caught me and said I shouldn't and couldn't take the prisoner again; the other two prisoners were mere, out aia not do anything a. that time; took pri soner to "siailon und then came out to arrest William; Deputy Marshal Murray then told me that James Kllinger had struck him: went to back of house and found James with a pistol; he was holding pistol right at me; I drew my revol ver ami fired a shot; lie threw the pistol over the prison renee; a policeman came up auu usuou ntm what he did with the pistol : we arrested James and locked hlra up; Jacob Kllengei-Jresisted us when we were putting James into his cell.

The special cor-re-pondent of the Tribune wiiu-s from Pari on Sun day (21st): "The Committee of Deieuse as linally c.rgaiiized comprises Gen.

These reports go subsequently to the Muiisu-r of W ar, aud thence to the Council. "It in fully believed here that the Empress is urg ing the Emperor to abdicate in favor of his son, but the Fmp ror refuses. All the acts of the Corps Leis latif take effect without Imperial decree cnurijiiug them or directing thtjr execution." Th following extra, from a nrlvato l tvr, ated Vist, by a correspondent long resident iu I'arn, g'.ves a sinfularly clear and trnst worthy ac-Muni of tho actual situation anil projects in the French rm tal: "Trochu first and second address 8 to I'arla, and Ms first to the Tempt, mark the extent and rapidity of the political transform at tnu we are under going, while the personal elements of the provi sional anonymous government show that tne trans formation must go further before a reformation begins. 1 say 'anonymous, for. althoueii the old name Is still over the door, the bnsineai lias gone Into t he hands of assignees. Ths Teal executive tri timv Irate Is Bar.ainc, Trochn, aud Palikno. The l egislature Is led mainly by Tillers aDt ('nmbetta, who have struck hands with Palikao for the occa sion. "Th Republicans don't care to push ti(npa mnca faster than they are going; they do not at least want, to declare a republic now. The nearest Xn a conclu sion reached last Fildsy by about a hundred of them, memtiers or the Left, Journalists ami others, was to wait and watch the growing- change. At a later and much smaller meeting, or interview', be tween a do.en Republicans and Uambetta, the latter being asked whether l'alikao deserved ail tlie truat he sermcd to place In him, answered, 'Vch, because he Is a traitor.' "Uambetta, young as he Is, shows more of the nnallty of a political leader than anybody eNc in th j Chamber, except the Nestor Thiers. Trie real trou ble is the old one, the party Is all heads and no body. As Bera tiger long since said, 'There Is no one for Vice-President.

The Napolconifits are alp dy bolt leg and getting ready to bolt "From what I hear, from what Americans long ia business tell me, from other evidence such as Tro chu's letter, and from a very remarkable letter writ ten by George sand, shown mo by her correspon dent, I judge that the ex-Napoleonists, t'ie a li r illa tive voters 011 tho phbUcitum, are no almost be yond the old opposition In their contempt of the Im perial rr-iime.

"Whetlicr the French, enervated by the last twenty years of mlsgoverument, will prove equal to the needs of the situation, or whether '.his an-iny-mous Government can bring out the la-ent virility of the people, are open questions. That with a government of revolutionary enerry, and in full exchange of coniideuce with the people, they c mid defend l aris and drive the Germans otf French soil, I nave no shadow of doubt. But the assignees aro merely coalesced, not united; working tige.ther on a compromise, not an arreenient; one manager trnst lng another 'oecanse he Is a traitor,' no: aciin? with the lull force of convictions and hopes; all weakened by mental reservations.

"Although there has been bold cntttnp or red tape, an administration so long the slave of rontine still hesitates and obstructs. As for Trooha, the Parisians have already nicknamed tilm 'J'.Uvier on a war-footing.' Olltvler himself kept his promise to support his successors by quitting the Chamber. Rarely before has he been so faithful to n!s word.'' Relief tor the BurrERBns. The Franklin Fire Insurance Company, through its President, Mr. Alfrfd O.
