CAP1URIMJ PARIS.
To.' Abnut It. Arrordln I n PrusMnn
onir.
A lleutenant-co'onel of the Prussian staff says
lLat three armies are in full march on Taris, by
way of the Moscl.'e, of the Vosges, and of Bel
fort. The G-simin strategist brings these
armies, b.idly cut up but still very strong, to
cur very walls. They mean to find their way in
at all hazards. But Paris is a vast lntrenchf 1
camp: it is not an ordinary stronff place, it is
defended by halt a million of men and pro
tected by an enceinte of twenty-eight
kilometres (17 miles) in circumference,
strengthened with ninety-three bastions
acd fortified thoroughly, 'iheso walls are still
further protected by hi teen detached forts pro
vided with seven reat external work?, whoso
lires cross and form a second cnclcnte, whoe
fcuns can crush everything around them. Paris
is further guarded by the Seine, the Marne, and
with nn internal circular railway. Such a place
cannot be Invested in the regular way; It must
be assailed at some vulnerable point. Now,
which is the vulnerable point? The eastern
forts, Komainvllle, Nocsy, Kosny, Nogent, Vin
cennes, are advantageously on a plateau covered
bv the Marne, and they form such a strong line
that our Prussian admits it would be imprudent
to attack on that side. Then, again, it wouldn't
tloto attack by Chareuton, for after carrying that
place they must cross the fires of Vinccnnes,
Ivry, and the ramparts. On the southwest the
attack would be against Chareuton, Ivry, and
the Bicctre decidedly unadvisablo. Then the
southein forts, Montrouge, Vanncs, and fssy, on
the steep heights between Sceaux and Ver
sailles, are very impracticable. Mont Valerlen
is the only work on the west; but then Paris la
behind the Belne, which makes a double curve.
The banks here are hilly and covered with wood,
fnrnifchiDg abundant shelter to tbe defenders.
The beeicgers,then,are limited to St. Denis. The
Prussian colonel says:
"The points of attack are naturally on the north and
northeast. They are the weak sides; tiiecastnrn
fronts are partly covered by t'.ie 31 true; the south
and west are strong, and their attacK mttit compro
mise the besiegers' line of retreat, on the north the
Tans and Siraxourg Railway would serve lor trans
port from the Khlne. Admitting that the Prussian
army must be stronger than tho French army, and
that the French in the field, being kept ata distance,
cannot annoy tho besting force, tit. Denis should
be the first point of attadk. He might then -advance
on Montniartre without the "risk of a rtanfcing tire
from the forts, vve should attack simultaneously
the three forts of St. Deni9 and that of Aubervil
Hers, and then make a feint on the cast. The siege
would resemble that of tebattopol. St. Dents Is on
the right bauk of the Seine, which leaves a tongue of
land that must be seized by the besieging force. The
besiegers will then observe the citadel of Mont Va
lerlen; they will cut railways on the left bank of the
Seine, and throw a bridge across to communicate
with the troops on the right bank."
To accomplish this the Prussian officer's ar
rangements are to set 50.000 ineu against the
three forts of St. Denis and ou fie tougue
of land between St. Denis and Mont Valerlen,
20,000 on the north of St. Denis, 20,000 moro in
front of Aubcrvilliers; and all these, covered by
the forest of lioudy and other point9 of resist
ance in that direction, could maintain them
selves against any force sent to dislodge them.
Tbirtv thousand at Neuilly could operate against
the Kosny fort, but their main use would be to
secure the line of retreat. Place before St.
Denis 50,000, north of St. Denis 20,000, in the
forest of Bondy 30,000, at Bouyet 20,000, at
Neuilly 80,000, between Neuilly and Villeneuve
30,000 total, 180,000, which would form the
siege. This plan was promulgated some seven
or eight years ago, Prussia with two other
armies, one of 120,000 (tho army of the Upper
Rhine), and one to enter France via Switzer
land, 100,000 strong, and even then, says its
author:
"A defeat of the besiegers might attain tho most
disastrous proportions, lr the population should
take an active part id the war, ana should join the
garrison in cutting off the convoys of tho invading
army."
How the Allies West About It In IS 1 4.
Paris was entered by the allies in April, 1814. On
the 30th of March, when they were at Meaux King
Joseph issued a proclamation to the people of Paris,
in which he said:
"Citizens: Let this vast city become a
camp for some moments, and let the enemy tin 1
their disgrace uuder its wails, which they hope to
break through in triumph."
The following day Paris capitulated, and the
two army corps- regular troops which it con
tained agreed to march out of it on the same
day, "commending the capital to the generosity
of the allied powers."
It was only on the evening previous to this
unconditional surrender that the Duke of Trevl
eo wrote to Prince Schwarzenberg, '"Under the
walls of Paris." "We are determined to defend
ourselves to the last extremity."
THE HORRORS OF BATTLE.
A Citizen on the Field of Woerth an Eloquent
i'onrayal of Human Mulferlnw.
The correspondent of the London Telegraph,
writiBg from Saverne, August Jl, fays:
i"M. Delmas has wished me to publish the notes he
made on the battle-field of Woerth. They are elo
quent In their brief Intensity, and they will afford
you more varied observations than could be com
prised in a mora formal description. As to this you
can judge for yourself:
"Sunday A rush pell mell of about two thousand
French BOldlers, who are running to take refuge la
Ntrasburg. heroes yesterday, fugitives to-day.
Heroes again to-morrow, when they will have seen
the standard again and eaten their soup. Sixty pea
sants' carts required to remove the wounded from the
Ueld of battle. In tbe 'evening, at Bruckmuhl, a lot
of Prussian corpses: a pastor and a Catholic priest.
A soldier is struck by his officer because he moved a
corpse with his foot. Two hundred wounded men
are in the null. N Ight Groaning and treatment of
the wounded. Lanterns of marauders In the dis
tance, on the Held of battle. An officer of zouaves,
his two arms taken off. wounnded lu the neck near
tbe dorsal vertebra'. An officer of Wurteniberg, M.
von Klberfeld; ball in the lotus; his torments ago
nirtngto see. What of his wife and children?
Dupout, a Parisian, wounded in the thigh-bone,
infers terribly without complaining.
"Amputation of a zouave's leg; thirty minutes.
II a has been smoking cigarettes all the time.
"A Turco, his ear, eye, ami nose all carried off by.

Spuchbacti. Gonstett, and Morsbroun. An irregular
st-mlcircle, of which the centre is Keishoffen. In the
valley of woerth all the dead are Prussians. On the
heights of Froschweiller there are hecatombs of
French of all arms. Tbe cuirassiers lie In the Hop
gardens.
The hearjs of men. of horses, and of knapsacks.
seen from a certaU distance, resemble Hocks of
sheen resting on the rise of a hill. At MorsUronn
were seen the Prince Frederick Charles and the
Duke of taxe t'oburg Gotha. The wounded French
and Prussians are treated precisely ou the same foot
ing. There la, however, a sensible difference be
tween the morale ot the wounded victors and the
wounded vanquished. Prussian officers console
their men by telling them of the taking of Strasburg,
which Is not taken.
"At Froschweiler the Chateau Durckhelm has
been transformed Into an hotel. There remain
traces of an obstinate struggle, our soldier have
fought bravely. As far as Elsaashausea the ground
is literally paved with shot. We are told by the
Prussians that they have shot fifteen maraading
peasants.
"1 came oron the body of an officer of cuirassiers
who had been shot through tbe loins. If the Bin
aud the nth cuirassiers are not eutirel destroyed,
there can only remain a small fragment of them,
poor nieu 1 Brave men !
"The church at Froschwellur burnt down. Isiw
the body of a French surgeon on a Utter, bis kepi
lying on his breast. Twemj-flve others are prison

wear tbe bailee of the Interua'iounl bo ;lety. Tney
appear to be mure wearied mi l Bulky tluu despair
lug ; they are occupied wit a lii care of the
wounded.
"Having qaitted the Prussian lines on the 11th
August, we arr.ve at B'.ueti. If we were weil re
ceived by our enemies, we also met witu ample !i s
pltallty from our countrymen. A military cauu'.u
