accepts this part of the situation. It is gene

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.

lrench (iuMtlln War.
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.

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

as everywhere, the only hopes of resumption
of commercial activity is based oa the speedy

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

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

The following was the testimony:

WAsniNcnON, Aug. 23 An oilleial report from
Colonel Nelson, commanding Port Supply, Indian
Territory, dated July 80, states that Brevet Colonel
Carpenter, commanding 10th Cavalry, arrived thero
July 27, from the CJierenne and Arrapahoe agency,
where he had been sent as escort for a train loaded
with Indian commissary supplies. He states that all
the Airapahocs are at their agency, and when lie
arrived there there were also about twenty or thirty
lodges of Cbeyennes at that place, and that twenty
two more under Big Horse (Cheyennes) came
In before he left. Big Horse reported that Big Jake
would be in shortly with 200 more lodges of
Cheyennes.
If Big Jake comes la there will be little further
trouble from the Cheyennes south of the Arkansas.
The depredations committed In the Camp Supply
region w ere done mostly by the Klowas, under Little
Hart. A report from General GuU-ron, commanding
at Fort Sill, Indian Territory, dated 2d instant, states
that there have been 110 recentdepredacions. Two
raiding parties are reported having been In Texas,
aud it appears from General Guirron's report they
arc the Indians who had a recent engagement
with a detachment of the 6th Cavalry near the Big or
Little Washita, In which three Indians and two
soldiers were killed, and a number wounded on each
Bide.
Iron Mountain, of the Comanches, and Thansea,
of the Klowas, with some head men of the Apaches,
and others, In all fifteen, were at Fort Sill, on the
llth Instant. They report the Indians on their way
in, and that they were then encamped at Mount
Webster, about fifty miles from Fort GUL It Is re
ported by an Indiaa that the Klowas have In their
possession 7 captives one woman and six children
who were lately captured In Texas. They are to
bring them la and deliver them up, as well as cap
tured property. They had just held a general
council and decided to cease all hostilities.

l.OKDON, Monday, Aug. 82, 170. 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. 'J rochu, Marshal Vaillaut,
Admiral Rigault de Genouilly, Jlarou Jerome David,
Gen. De La Tour, Gen. Guion, Gaiu JVAutemarre
D'Arville, and Gen. Soumain It powsesses the fullest
powers, aud has a special executive t-ouimlttee that
meets daily In the War Oilice, receiving lemons of

These reports go subsequently to the Muiisu-r of

"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

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. ' But the mill even now hs begun
to crind Napoleonlsm pretty hard, crush.ng it finely
and not slowly. 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. Von hear treason coru-taut'y in the
open streets anil cafes. Spies, if any hmp remain,
may listen and be welcome, Kvrn'the Ame.1i.in
tourists and residents are cooling in tnetr admira
tion Tor the Emperor.
"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. Repub)icHn-l'ino'-ratic--ociallsts
don't believe in any of them. 'I h-i clerical
party Is not enthusiastic. The well-to-d'j b-mrgeois
are as timid as always heretofore, for their pro
perty. "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.''
