STRATEGIC IMPOUTAINICE OF PARIS the Position of Paris in the French Military System. `. A liallitary, view of the security of the French'capital is summarized in the following :4atement complied trona a FrOiCh . journal,' hich endeavors to tranquilizo public Mind ou that point: There are four routes, in a military pointof view, which au invading army might adopt An advancing from Germanyupon"Paris 1: By crossing the French frontier between' Stras bourg ani Luxemburg, and .then. advancing in a direet lineon Paris, 2. By, ci oSsing.the„ Swiss territory situated below Stratibourg, and marching by the 'valleys of the Seine and Marne • on the capital. 3. By, a movement. .frum` the north..passing the fortress of Metz anU reaching Paris by way of the valleys o; , the - Seine and Marne. 4. By 'advancing nrough Belgian soil, In a direct southern .line through the - valleys of the Oise and Aisne on Paris. Ihe first course is regarded as a military impossibility. France being protected on the East by the great natural defences of• the osges_. mountains, : theMostlle,--River„-tho. Ardennes mountains, and the River Meuse, upported by many fortified places, among a Lich is the stronghold of Metz. Dismissing, al.em, any. speculations which this route uay suggest. we arrive fit the seeoxid nue of advance toward the French If in this case the Prussians %%ere to violate the neutrality of Switzerland and attempt to adrance upon Paris from the southeast, they would find theniselve.s con fronted by the fortress of Lyons, :which has been strengthened and rendered very secure since the period of the first Empire, Before arriving at that point the invading forces would have to capture either Belfont or Langres, both of which occupy commanding i•ositions on the ground through which an army advancing from Switzerland should pass. The third route is themost feasible, and con in military • phrase, of turning the for: tresses on 'the northeast frontier, including Met z, and -then by-continued successes -at , tiring on the river Marne, from whence there u. ito formidable obstacle to an advance -to ward the immediate neigliberhOod of the apital. But an invading force could not, on account of-Metwatid-Strasbottrg,-wisekV-atiopt Lis .course., The.. French armyi - if defeated, could take refuge in Metz -and, thence harass he rear of the invaders._who would - be open tc,lsimilar attacks from Strasbourg and places of kss importance. The fourth route, -by way of Belgium, is secured by defences which the roverses of 1814 proved - more imperatively no- The. French'calculated that even if an enemy r.liould arrive in the vicinity of Paris her for tifications are practically impregnable. Thirty 3 ears ago, under the administration of M. 1 biers, these defences were completed, the uroject being regarded with special favor by Louis Philippe, who took an enthusiastic in terest in fortifications. Another resource is found in the population of Paris, now num bering 2,000,000, who, by acting in concert torces operating in the rear of the inva ,lers, might overwhelm them. Such was the hope of Napoleon 1., but in the altered cir cumstances of his time it proved impracti cable. MAGENAti. • The Scene of the French Defeat. • Hagenau. the principal city of the arrondis -ement of Strasbourg, with 11,500 inhabitants, Is situated in the middle of the forest of Nour, .nd is a place of garrison of the fourth class. ! his town, the name of which has been yeti usly spelled Hacbeneau, Haganae,Hagenovia liagenoa, has its origin in a castle belong -ng to the kings of France, and which was wilt in the twelfth century. In 1154 Frede ! ick I. had the town surrounded by fortified walls, and there defended the crown, the ceptre, and the sword of Charlemagne. These glorious relics were secretly purloined by the Bishop of Spire and taken to Castle Triefels. The German emperors bad there a palace, and often sojourned there. It was in the castle of Hagenau that Richard Occur de Licu was kept a prisoner by the Emperor H enry IV. The Thirty Years' War brought much misery on 'the place ' and during it the inhabitants were reduced from 1,300 to only ...""!0. The fortifications were razed in 1673 by tare order of Louis XIV., built up again a year Atter, and after that destroyed three times. In 1705 and 1744 the Austrians took the Mace, but did not hold it long. The Kleber Promenale, laid out in 1811 in honor of the Firth of the King of Rome, is very handsome, rind extends towarifs the Porte de Strasbourg. The city is the seat of a college, has a cun itlerable number of, industrial establishments .;trui is altogether in a flourishing el:Judith:on. In leaving Hagenau one reaches at once an pen farming country, with the horizon limited on the left by the Vosges Mountains. Soon the woods inclose the. traveler on both sides, and the city disappears entirely from View. PRAYER FOB PRUSSIA The Proclamation of King* William.. lite Prayer Inserted in the Liturgy. The Neue Prewsiselte Ercuz-Zeitung contains the following proclamation of the King of Prussia in reference to the day set apart, for prayer.. • I am compelled to draw the sword in conse quence of a wanton attack which must he warded off with all the strength at the com mand of Germany. It is a great consolation to me, before God and man,.that I have not in any way given occasion for the onslaught. My conscience is clear as to the origin of this war, and I am confident before God of the justice of our cause. The conflict is • earnest, and it will entail heavy sacrifices on my people, and on Germany at large. But I depart for war, looking up tot.p.n all-knowing God, and appeal ing to His all-powerful help.' • • Already I have occasion to thank God that, at the first whisper of war, all German hearts were animated by one feeling—a feeling of in dignation at the attack', and of glad trustful ,-ness that God, would grant victory to the rightfni cause: My people in this conflict kill` - stand - by - me - asitrstood-hrmyrfatherwlno-n rests,inGod...With me they •will make, any , sacrifice-to-restore peace to the nations.

' - . The Ind 1110 glg . lie? . correspondent full be lieves the negotidtions'are progress for the evacuation of Rome. :It has been remarked that Count Vimercati, who' was always the confidential agent employed between Na poleon and Victor Rnimannel; has just arrived at. Florence. Be is 'reported to have brotilit, with him an autograph letter from the Em peror to the King, and the people will persist in believing that the communication refers to ItOme. One thing is certain, (the writer adds) France is risking a great deal in the way of displeasing the Italian people if she does not elri brae& the . present opportrinity r jci- leave Porde." It seems - a suggestion 'has been made that the Romans should be invited to deter mine by a plebi.v.ituto whether they will keep the Pope or exchange his Holiness for King Victor Emmanuel. Denmark Threatened. It was reported on the 26th, frona Pans, as the belief in authoritative quarters there, that the French fleet - would 'proceed to .Copen bagel), take possession of the Danish fleet, or rather press it into the se vice-of France, aul then, with this additional ' force,. Denmark's neutrality broken, and with the entire Danish nation supporting- -the joined fleetS, repair- to fitralsund. Bence it is considere.d not at all improbable ihat, Jts many military auShorities have, ex pected lately, the French would ,make- a for tnidable'first attack . on their enemy Pom +•rania. and at the memo able noint where Marshal Saxe met Charles XII. The-special irjunctions to the Paris papers in regard to the Baltic fleet, on which the SUcle made some trong comments to-day, tend to confirm this rumored plan, which, I repeat, Ihave from an exceptionally good source. Probable Alliance. with Prussia.. Eng Jana Must' Fit:lit for' India. The Paris correspondent of the bttoul,!rd writes, July 27 : I find an universal opinion prevalent that iissia will take part with Prussia, and then I.ngland must bon gre mat gre cast in her lot ith France to save her commuuicaticois with India. Before we left Strasbourg it was com monly reported that Russia had declared war, and this probability seems the sole link which at the present moment binds France to Eng land. Frenchmen say that England ought to have backed them in this quarrel. But for the icading journal to take up a tone of intensely injured humanity, and to fly at the throat of .0 France, as itbs done, has provoked a most k tter feeling' t at I firmly believe would be terribly ,hard to)quench. The Mormons would do well to emigrate to Java, if, we,may credit the following account of Javanese customs, given by oue of the French princes, who has recently visited that :bland . , . tt In the interior of Java are several small native rulers - orsultans ; and these personages, though =really under the enti-e control of the Dutch, insomuch that their letters are carried to the Residency for examination before being delivered at the place, keep up all the externals of 'the most profuse Oriental luxury. Their courts . are a blended con fusion of rich colors, notably rose color, scarlet and blue, and of sandal wood, gold and diamoilds. ,Sultan Sousouhounan IX. is only twenty-eight years old; he is of ele wait figure, his complexion a pale green, his t-3 es large and, haggard, with great painted t ‘ebrows. This young man, whose petticoat ud vest made him look like a tropical parrot, u :is surrounded by three hundred cousins and nephews, and four thousand great lords and officers, on all fours ! He had been married at to elve years of age, and his thirty-third son, a howlingiraby . of a day old, was brought in to be shown the French visitors. This, in fact, vas the ebild of the Grand Sultana, and was iies.tincid to pass. over the heads of his thirty two brethers, and *to inherit his fatlieN throne. As to • the. little sisters, they were tOrty-eight in number, and were dressed in diamonds." • The Charges Against Dr. Lanahan. The MethodiSt'of August 6th returns to its iiilistantiation Of the assertion that the Com mittee of the Book Concorn did entertain cnarges against Dr. Lanahan, winch has been domed by the 'Western Advocate. The Methodist quotes frotulhe recent articles in that paper, and also in the Christian Advocate, to show that the Committee at its session in June dld decide to put Dr. Lanahan ou trial for his exposure of the frauds in the Book Concern, and that they debated the ways and means of proceeding to the arraignment of him. Both of these journals took it for granted that he was to be tried, and remonstrated against the post ponement of the case midi October. The I{'eigc , •e Advocate argued that one month would be sufficient to allow Dr. Lanahan to prepare for his defence, and :as the Bishops would be at leisure in July, then would be the proper time for his trial. The Methodist says that, by the publication of their resolutions the Committee Bare held Dr. Lanahan; up as an accused manond the,denial now made that the charges riVere.ontertained can only increase. the painful feeling which has been excited by their proceedings.l • A R ochester_dpessmaker_felLifilove_xvith_ a rich young Man, nnbeknown to him.

THE IDIOTIC JEM.PEIL The Jumper's 'tens During and After Ills Jump. " Frank Thorne," or Comstock, who nearly made himself a subject for an inquest byjump ing from an elevator in Buffalo, is slowly re covering. The Ex pr ess says : " Frank Thorne' is now able to appreciate the awful jump he made better than he had any idea of before ; in fact it seems to us that his previous conceptions of what he intended to do were very undefined ; he has tried the xperiment, and now rejoices that he is not iood for coroners to dispute over. He rather resented the assertion made by one of our contemporaries of his extreme trepidation, .saying, as we in our report of the affair stated, r'hat he retired from the plank after first tak ing his stand upon it for the reason that it ‘1 as too springy ; he admits having been nervous to some extent, but defies the produc tion of a person who would not be under the eireumstimees. The jump, he said, was made as fairly as he could desire, and ho attributes the manner in which . he struck the water to the impossibility of any human body descend ing that distance and maintaining its perpen dicularity. While in the course of his descent his feelings are hard to be described, he says he did not think much of anythingin particular, a sort of drowsy sensation stealing over him. When his body commenced to lose its upright position he was fully conscious of the fact, and drew up his arms, as seen by the specta tors, for thi3_purpose of regaining his perpen dicularity. He also told us that he was hilly conscious when he struck the water, knew that he was badly hurt, and knew when he came up that be must swim for life or death, and therefore struck out manfully as we before described. We asked Comstock what he now thought of jumping from extreme heights as a healthy occupation.- " Well,"-ho replied, I hardly knew what to think; I rather guess I had' better hang up my tidl°. I have made a big jump and now let somebody beat it." The fact, was very evident, to both him and us, that he would not be in a condition to attempt the feat of jumping from the new bridge at the Falls on the 13th, even if he still counte nanced the Idea. He was somewhat troubled with_the fear.that people. would accuse him of backing out,through trepidity, but confessed the conviction that the jump if made would result in certain death. Although in a painfully uncomfortable con dition, there is every probability that he will 400 n fully recover, and Will be able to be about before many days have elapsed. • DEFALCATION IN AIEW ORLEANS.
