pean war, extra editions will be issued after

early edition.
THE SITUATION.
Ti ne news from the seat of war grows daily
wore favorable to the invaders. Hope after
hope cherished by the French turns out to
be delusive. What is loft of Bazaine's army
in Metz is now so closely besieged that its
Surrender is confidently anticipated, and it is
too weak to be an object of serious apprehen
sion. It seonis probable that a portion of the
fio-called "Army of the Rhine," under com
mand of Conrobort, escaped during the bat
tles of last week, and formed a junotion with
MacMahon's forces, but the Prussians do not
seem to dread this combination. The French
complain that their country swarms with
German epies, and there is no doubt a suffi
cient basis for this complaint to warrant the
belief that the invaders are remarkably well
informed in regard to the movements of the
Frenoh army. It is therefore a fair inference
that the advance in force upon Paris has
been undertaken with a full knowledge of
the situation, and with a confident belief that
MacMahon, Canrobert, and Bazaine could all
be held at bay. Overwhelming numbers and
undaunted courage are giving to the invaders
irresistible Advantages, and it is scarcely pos
sible that tho French will gain time enough
to organize their new levies into effective
troops before the war is brought to an abrupt
termination.
The despatches from Paris show how
thoroughly her citizens are alarmed. When
they dwell with satisfaction upon the arrival
within the environs of cattle and sheep, they
indicate that a siege is considered inevitable;
and when they repeat ostentatious assurances
by the Ministry of ability to maintain order,
they prove that great fears of a revolt prevail.
It will be a new experiment in m)dern
warfare for a city of first-class magnitude to
attempt to withstand a siege. The fortiaoa
tions may be strong enough to protect an
army or to resist assaults, but it remains to
be seen whether any military system of de
fense can resist the pressure from
within as well as from without
which must follow the approach of the main
body of the Prussian forces to the capital.
If the Germans make such a demonstration
it is natural to expect that they will employ
every available agency to terrorize an excita
ble populace. They will hold out the olive
branch on one hand and point to enormous
siege grins with the other. It is said that
they have thrown hot shot into Stra9burg,
and the French cannot be sure that Paris is
absolutely exempt from a similar danger.
When the choice of evils narrows down
to a prompt decision between a treaty and
the involvement in a thousand perils of
one of the greatest cities of the world, with
her millions of people and her varied interests,
even the boldest of Frenchmen may be
templed to abandon the notion that they can
only make peace after the invaders are driven
beyond the Rhine. It was one thiug for the
Russians to burn down tho huts of Moscow;
it will be quite another for the French to
provoke the destruotiou of the palaces of
tVit.s.
the rm'ssiAN rnoTA'sr.
'J hi. Ira3ian Under Secretary of State. Von
Ti ile, has forwarded to Baron von Gerolt, the
Minister of the North German Union at
Washington, a protest against the violations
of international law and the rules of civil
ized warfare on the part of the French by
firing upon the flags of truce. Ilerr von
Thile mentions three instances in which flags
of truce were fired upon, in one of which
the trumpeter accompanying the flag was
killed, and he declares that it will hence
foroe be impossible to send flags of
truce to a nation whose soldiers
Lave lost in Africa, China, and Mexico all
recollections of civilized warfare. The suc
cession of disasters which have overwhelmed
the Frenoh appears to have frenzied their
Soldiers as well as their citizens, and while
such barbarous behavior as that of which
they are now accused is on no account to be
excused, the probabilities are that the leaders
of the army are blamelebs in the matter, and
that the Prussian flags of truce were fired
upon by over-zealous sentinels or pickets.
The French Government has got itself into
sufficiently bad repute already with civilized
nations by its eagerness to begin
the . present war without . even
a decent pretext, and it cannot afford to
bring itself into further contempt by coun
tenancing a style of warfare that would dis
grace savages. The object of Ilerr von
Thile in sending this protest to Baron von
Gerolt was that be would communicate it to
Secretary Fish, who would forward it to
Minister Washburne, with directions to lay it
before the French authorities in his capacity
ft guardian of Prussian interests in France
during the continuance of hostilities. We
eipeot that as a matter of course the French
ViU promptly disavow what were probably
the unauthorized acta of private
0oUier or tubordiuata officers, bat
whether they do or not, the indications at
present are that be Fore long the Praasianir
will not be under tho necessity of sending
flags of truce for any purpose, on account of
the utter rout of their opponents, or if 'flags
of truce are sent at all it will be by the
French, with propositions to surrender under
the most favorable terms their enemies 'Are
willing to acoord them.

Perfection of the Art of Refining Whiskies.
P. HIVNEF, Sole Proprietor, for the State of Pennsylvania, of the
CELEBRATED "P. P." WHISKIES,
Nos. 246 S. FRONT and I I 7 DOCK St., Phila.
It has been clearly denaonhtraled that all Liquors distilled by the ordinary methods contain
a very large percentage of impurities; the degree of heat that most necessarily be em
ployed, deoomposiug, disengaging and vaporizing all the baneful elements and noxious
gases contained in the mash, which when condensed form the deleterious fusel oil so detri
mental to life and health; but, when indulged in to excess, the result is Brain Fever, De
lirium Tremens, Apoplexy, Insanity, ite. Consequently Liquors, as ordinarily distilled, are
apt, even when only used sparingly as a Simulant, to create Nausea-, Sick lleadacht, In
flammation, and Kidney Diseasta.
The "P. P." "W'hwkies, on the contrary, "stimulate and cheer" without unduly exciting
the brain or injuring the coats of the stomach. They are distilled from the choicest product
of the Cereals in vacuo, the pressure of the atmosphere being reduced from 15 lbs. to 2
lbs. to the square inch; consequently a temperature of only about 00 degrees of heat is re
quired in the operation, The process is entirely mechanical, no ACIDS, CnAllCOAL,
ESSENCES, EXTRACTS, DRUGS OR CHEMICALS OF ANY DESCRIPTION BEING
USED henee the "P.P." "Whiskies are not only delicate i flavor, but pure, wholesome,
and innocuous as a beverage, retaining in simple purity the flavor of the cereals from which
they were distilled.
The "P. P." AVhifekies have been tested by some of the most eminent of the Medioal
Faculty, by Analytical Chemists, and by the best judges of Liquors in the United States,
and pronounced perfectly pure and icholiioti, and especially detirable for Family use and
Ardical purpose.
Members of the medical faculty, the trade, and the publio generally are cordially invited
to rail and inspect tbe machinery and process, and examine the liquor and the impurities
extracted, at the Refinery and Warerooms, Nos. iMO South FRONT aud 117 DOCK Street.
