Paris, Aug. 30. (Special to the Courrier dii EtatvUnis.) MacMahon has an effective force of probably two hundred thousand men, the dite of France. Everything is now in t-uf'pense, waiting the issue of the battle which must soon be fought in Ardennes or along the Meu.se. Paris Is Fully Prepared, id calm, and rilled with patriotism, and all her men and youths are ready to take up arms fit once. What the Prussian lavadlac Army la.

He affirmed that this was not patriotic, and said the Protestants were ready to sacrifico their lives and for tunes in defense of the country. The Minister of the Interior said that such accusations were unworthy of Franoe. He knew that all Frenchmen were moved with the same sentiment. Pntrlotlsm the First Religion. He would cause it to be published in all the communes of France that the first reli gion now is patriotism. This was greeted with great applause. The I'Dltcd States Oermna Filibusters. Subsequently Deputy Bethomont de manded from the Minister of Marine an ex planation of the reported filibustering expe dition of Germans from various parts of the United States. The Minister in reply said he had received no official despatches on the subject, and in the absence of any intelligence directly con firming the report he could not suppose the American Government would permit such a violation of the rights of nations. The Patric soys the report of these expedi tions is absurd, and all the other evening papers take the same view. Messrs. D. C.

The representatives of the press being assembled his Honor spoke as follows: In view of the statement containen in ine pape In connection with the arrest ami admission to bail of Edward F. Landman, these gentlemen (members of the press) caned to see me. l nave reau me statements In the Fublic 1cot1 and Morning PoL These gentlemen are desirous of making statements under oath 1 desire all to be present, as newspaper comment has been made. He then called forward Mr. Franklin, who, under oath, made tne annexed statement: 1 was concerned in the arrest and examination of a man who gave the name of Edward F. Landman, who was charged with attempting to rob the safe of the rajmaster of the United States Navy Yard in this city, and who was captnrei Whilst endeavoring to escape by a sentinel, who knocked him off the wall. On Friday I told Chief Kelly that he had better call on the united Mates District Attorney, Aubrey II. Smith, and ascertain as to whether they intended to try the prisoner or deliver him over to the regular city authorities. Mr. Kelley called oh Mr. smith, and the latter, alter examining the law on the subject, decided that It was best and proper that the prisoner should be handed over to the custody of the city authorities; he then Issued an order to have the prisoner, who had then been conUned two davs, bronght to the central ei.uion oyaguaraoi ma rines and nanued over to juessru. tranKiin ami T'jon. Witness then went to the Navy Yard, and se cured all the witnesses. The prisoner was brought out by a squad of marines, placed la a ear, and taken to Ninth and Walnut streets. He was then conducted down Walnut street and through the square to the Central, where ha was placed In the rogue's gallerr. At 2 o'clock P. M. he was given a hearing, and was committed to prison by Alderman Kerr. In regard to the ma'lnes having been treated by me to liquor, I have the following to say: After tne hearing, when the marines were about going away, the ser geant came to me and said that owing to his coming away lu such a hurry from the yard ne naa procured no cnangs, and lie wonld like to treat his men to a glass of beer. I went into the back room to Chief Kelly and told him that the marines wauted some refreshments, when he pulled out a one dollar bill and hsnded it to me. 1 tnen took tnem np Mien street to uauter s beer saloon and treated, a thing I would do every day in the week ; after returning we had a consulta tion about taking Landman to prison, when, owing to the neighborhood being crowded with thieves, cracksmen and their backers, and supposing that an attempt might be made to rescue mm lr placed in the van, I told Chief Mulholland that the better plan would be to take him to prlBou in a carriage. To this he agreed, and the carriage was procured and stationed on Chesnut street opposite the Sherlirs otllce. The prisoner was then conducted through the hall north of theotllee and placed in the vehicle, myself and Mr. Tryon taking seats therein, and we were rapidly driven to the prison, where we lodged the prisoner, since when I have not seen him ; when we got back Mr. Tryon, on ac count of having spilled somn Ink on his clothes, re mained In the carriage and was driven home; I, however, got out, and meeting Chief Kelly was told bj him that parties had hcen at the oniee and had procured a transcript of the case for the pur pose of getting Landman out on hail; I then advised him to go see the District Attorney, when he replied that Messrs. fcheppard, Hagert, and Dechert were all out of town. I next told him to go over and "post" the Recorder. He replied that he knew the Recorder by sight, but never had been introduced to him. 1 then volunteered and went over with htm. Introducing Mr. Kelly, I told the Recorder the case and advised him to be careful about the kind of ball he took, lie answered that "he had been very lucky In that respect, that no bail had yet failed him, and that he would see no straw ball was entered." 1 then left, and the next I knew of the case was the next morning, when I learned that the prisoner bad been released. I have never seen him since. I never saw him before his arrest. Detective E. K. lryon was next sworn He cor- roberated the statement or Mr. franklin np to the time of his leaving the carriage ; ne tnen went home ; so far as his knowledge of the man was concerned. he said, "after I was taken down to hoo him, at the jard, I tolil Mr. traukiin tnat i Knew nis ia:e and Mud seen mm aunui uiree hdu uau years ago, 18C4, at the Johnson inauguration, but that I could not think oi nis name; i Knew ne was not a pniiadcipnian, nor is ne; i nave since learned that he was then on here with a gang of pickpockets; 1 came down town on the nigntor the .1 . n ..1.

Special Despatch to the Evening IcUgraph. Beading, Aug. 31. Judging by the attend ance of delegates at the meeting to-tlay, which is being held in the Court House, but little inte rest is being taken in the majority Republican and the majority and minority Democratic counties in the matter by which it is proposed that the minority shall be repre sented in proportion to its strength In tho halls of Congress, Legislature, etc. Those assembled represent none other than the Re- Dublican minority counties, including Mont gomery, Berks, Lehigh, Bucks, Carbon, Wayne, Monroe, Columbia, Pike, Cumberland, North ampton, Clinton, Montour, York, Westmore land, and Fulton. The gentlemen" who have been the prime movers in this project are con siderably annoyed to find that the majority districts have manifested such a luke- warmness, as from no other locality than Philadelphia, outside of the mlno rltv counties, have they received even a response to the Invitations extended to be pre sent. The Democracy have paid no attention whatever to the matter, and tho only represen tative of that party preseut is Senator Charles R. Buckalew, who has kept the matter of minority representation prominently before the public for a number of years. Ho arrived yes terday afternoon in company with the Colum bia county delegation, and during the remain der of the day was waited upon by numerous friends. The other delegates came in slowly, and on their arrival reported to E. J. More, Esq., the chairman of the meetings already held in Phila delphia. Towards evening it looked as though there would bo a mere handful, but each train brought some accredited agent, and by 9 o'clock there were about thirty present- According to previous arrangements there was an informal caucus held in the parlor of the Mansion House, over which Judge Jones, of this county, presided. Joseph Ritner, Esq., of Cumberland couHty. acted as Secretary. The session was a long and stormy one, and the re sult showed that good judgment had been excr o teed In holdinar this preliminary meeting. Tho presence of Senator Buckalew was a thorn in the side of some of the. politician delegates, and hardly had they taken their seats before a resolution was offered directing the Secretary not to enrol the names of any but Republicans. This brought several gentlemen to their feet, all of whom characterized this movement as an illiberal and narrow-minded one. The argument continued until nearly midnluht, when a motion to lay tho resolution on the table prevailed by a nearly unanimous vote, so that all Democrats who present them selves will be entitled to the same privileges as Republicans. There was another matter presented Itself, but awiner to the extreme lateness of the hour it was not pressed, and that was a resolution tro'iptt by the LerJb county delegation, de nouncing tbo course of Senator Cameron for the manner of his distribut on of the public . patronage in the Democratic Congression 1 districts. It is said that it will be introduced to the convention in the course of its sitting', and although it will meet with strong objec tions, a Vote on its passage will be demanded. 1 ctters regretting their inability to be present at the sessions Lave been received from Col. Forney and Samuel C. Perkins, Esq. Both of these gentlemen endorse the object of the meeting, aud state that positive engagements alone prevent their being on hand.
