Despite reports to the contrary, we have good reason to believe, on the authority of the bulk of the evidence, that the terrific battles of last week had for their ultimate result the hopeless imprisonment of the French army within the fortifications of Metz. Ail of Da : zaine'S efforts were - dirdoted to the accomplish: went of a single design: the successful with drawal of his army from Metz .and the line of the Moselle, to \Terdun and the Meuse, and from thende, perhaps,: to Chalons and the Marne. He had no alternative but to accom plish his object or perish. The Prussians com prehended the magnitude of the Issue, and both parties fought with desperate energy and has lost, and his shattered or. t azar army lies crushed together around Metz. The' losSes of the Prussians, have. been appalling, brit their army has won, and as they control all the lines of communication, they can and will bring up the reinforcements of' which they have an immense supply. The Prussian army now lies directly west of Metz, reaching from Thionville (and controlling the -railroad from Itletta to that city) to -St. Michel, upon the Meuse just north of Commercy. This line is stretched immediately across the roads to - Paris, and Bazaine is certainly cut off entirely from that city unless the Prussian and French reports which alike indicate the occupation of thikpositiol, are singularly incorrect. Nothing remains now to Bazaine but patient waiting for the .possible' defeat of the army of the Crown Prince* surrender. He is held in his position by the grasp_of a giantagainst,_whose T strengthi all his agonized struggling has preyed Ile isi:compelled to - ituiction'at the - very: time when the salvation . of France depends upon his vigorous use of his army. If he could get to Chalons the result of the war might be very different. It is impossible to regard nie generalshiP which plaCed him in such a hopeless position with any feelings but of admiration and wonder. • While Prince Charles and General Steinmetz hold the flower of the French army powerless, the Crown Prince is moving rapidly towards Chalons. We hear of his arrival at Vitry-le- Francais, an important fortified town on the Marne, nineteen miles southeast of Chalons, and commanding the railroad from Chalons to Chamont. Occupation of this place would menace the communications of Chalons with Verdun, and if the Prussians are successful in their mareuvres, it is certain that they will stretch their line up so as to cover the road to 'Verdun. There are several reports of a battle between Marshal MacMahon and the Crown Prince at or near Vitry-le-Francais, and some -of them assert that the Prussians have won a victory. This story is, as yet, in a very indefinite shape, and it is not to be re ceived with perfect faith. It is certain, how ever, that such an encounter must soon occur, Tor the Crown Prince is, oven now, almost in the very front of Chalons. It is likely, too, that he will be the victor, for we know that the troops in the camp at Chalons are mere militiamen, and that they are utterly de moralized and without enthusiasm. But for the facts of the engagement we must wait : we shall have positive information very soon. In the-meantime the most careless observer must perceive that with one army deprived of , prer to move and kept in helpless imprisonment, and.another threatened in itslast stronghord by a powerful and victorious enemy, the chances of success of the French are extremely'small, while the prospect of utter defeat and ruin within a very few days is reduced nearly to a certainty. if the Crown Prince sends Mae- Nahon's militia flying back to Paris, the game is up. Bazaine must surrender and the Prus sian-Ring can dictate in Paris his own terms to his beaten enemy. The fortifications of Parisand.the - be utterly 'useless if there is demoralization dis aster and -rutin everywhere else. ASSOCIATED PRESS ENTERPRI SE We feel a generous fear that the public does :not 'fully .appreciate the immense enterprise of the New York Associated Press. We do ; for we have tried it, and paid many thousands of dollars in the experiment. We have got, as near;ly_as possible, a perfect idea of its true value. But there are so . many people who do not take sufficient pains to understand true uteri:. They may, in the case of the N. Y. A. P., •realize the huge quantity of news It ith which it assails them every snorning, but yet fail to take in the full scope of its inestimable value. Let us endeavor to aid them. Let us shed the light of the dispassionate investigator upon this interesting question. The great feature of the news of the New York Associated Press is its marvellotis pre cision. There is a succinctness about it which leaves the reader in no doubt as to the facts it professes to narrate. Let us illustrate. Taking _this-morning's liiqUirer is , anaveragOifOinfaii of the enterpriSe of the Venerable fossil news gatherer, we cull a few choice specimens of this characteristic lucidity. Concerning the military situation, who can ,do,ribt as - lo Marshal Bazalue's Movements, win he reads in this morning's Inquirer, of any 0 ther - Of the depentlOate of the N.Y. A. P.

Take the movements of the Empress Ea r,genie._llow clear and simple .ttcy appear tremeinlonq los,and again cir_v(yn intt,:the city " MADRID, Aug. 20.--The story that Eugenie had sent her valuables hither is denied." Seventy eaSes arrived here last week from Paris, addressed to the Countess Mon tijo." , . _ The, wbereabout of 011ivier is thus nitely settled, after being in doubt for several days : :The flight of 011ivier is now fully con firmed." "M. Emile 011ivier is still in Paris. He is keeping out of sight. Our informant dined with him on Thursday." The uncertainty about the Emperor, where ha is, how he is, and how the soldiers receive him, is definitely disposed of by the following coherent statements: "On his way from Verdun - to Chalons the Emperor passed in plain view of the enemy's pickets. To•day be is at Rheitus2' " "It is positiN'ely denied that the Emperor is at Rheims." " The Emperor and Prince Imperial were certainly at Chalons on Saturday. A \circum stantial repott • his movements states that he was in the saddl on that day, and visited the different corps, th soldiers crowding around him and clamorin to be led into action." -" The reported insubordination of the Garde Mobile at -Citaloris is confirmed: Insulting cries are beard against the Emperor and his oflicers, and the worst spirit is manifested." "The grave rumors circulated here yester day relating to the health of the Emperor were unfounded. .1 have the best assurance of this. (Signed) " Paris-JA gent of the-Associated Press." "The rumor of the death of Napoleon at Rheims, while underg(iing a surgical opera tion, and which has been in circulation here all day, is; still uncontradicted." « ‘"ty I'l .ne Emperor was extremelyll cl:'\1 1 ,1 , ncsday, at Chalons. ft was also intimated that be contemplated abdication." "It is rlinlolinbat the EMperor and Louis are at Compeigne, the former seriously ill." The preparations of Paris for a siege are evidentlyammitute-fOr the Associated Press says : " The capital has been supplied with an im mense quantity of provisions and munitions of war, and could now stand a siege of six months." " There is no exaggeration in saying that we run the risk of being starved already." Out readers will see from these random se= lections that the patrons of the New York Associated Press are a highly-favored people. They will understand why it is that the London Papers do not get half the news that the N. Y. A. I'. daily crams down the throats of its un happy victims. The public - searching - fortrutithrough - 7the muddled wilderness of the New York Asso ciated Press news, will be reminded of the pathetic appeal of Chadband-: " Let us, in the spirit of love, inquire what is that Terewth to which I have alluded. For, my young friends, if I am told by the doctor that calomel or castor oil is good for me, I niay naturally ask what is calomel, and what is castor-oil. Now, my young friends, what is this Terewth? When this young hardened 'Heathen told us a story of a Cock, and of a Bull, and of a lady, and of a sovereign, was that the Terewth? No Or, if it was partly, was it wholly, and entirely" No, my friends, no: If the master of this house was to go forth into the city, and there see an eel, and was to come back, and was to call untoe him the mistress of this house, and was to say, Sarah, rejoice with me, for Lhave seen an elephant,' would that be Terewth t' THE ptßLic DEBT We pu dish on another page a succinct state ment of the financial transactions of the United States Government for the year ending June ISiO. It is a noble exhibit of the faithful ness and ability of Gen. Grant in carrying out his inaugural pledges. During the year, the actual gain of the Treasury has been the grand total of $119,131,425 45, almost double the amount of the whole national debt ten years ago. But for the unsettled condition of the Indian frontier, which still keeps the necessary expenditures of the War Department at a point beyond those of the whole civil service, the year's redUction would have been much greater. With such a record of a single year's progress in the reduction of the public debt, the Repub lican party has every reason to enter upon the coining campaign with the fullest confidence, of success. -- A policy and a party and a Presi dent that are • thus rapidly taking the burden of debt „and_ consequent taxation from the ghoulders of the American people present an argument that is so plain and so unanswerable that "he who runs may read." The fact that the Republi can party has paid off one hundred and twenty millions of debt, in a single year, grand as the result is, must be fairly taken as only an indi cation of what is to be done In the immediately succeeding years. The wealth_.and._ resources. Of this country are increasing, Year by 'a year, in a tremendous ratio, and under the honest, practical, and sensible administration of Presi dent Grant, the nation may confidently look for a still greater reduction of debt, during the current year. This is the great argument to be pressed upon the people, and it is one which they cannot fail to appreciate. It is by no means the sole effective weapon in the Re publican armory, but it is one that will reach all classes and conditions of the people, with convincing, it riot converting effect. It Is reported that the fortress,cif Pfalzbura,in the central part of the Vosges, through which Madliabon retreated before the Crown Prince, has capitulated. Thecapture derives its import ance from the fact that the supplies from the Prussian 4irmy must come through this pass, and while Pfalzburg was held by the French the line of communication was constantly in danger. The Prussians now command the en tire pass. Meanwhile, the .seige of Strasbourg is,. continued with vigor. TM city rs sur . roumleit by thirty thotisand s . upPlied with healfy artillery. Strasbourg is said to contain thirty or forty thousand French, soldiers, including a large portion of MaeMa hon's former command, and we believe a des perate resistance will .be made to the Prus sians. But the result is hardly doubtful. The Prussians absolutely control all the surround ing country, and the French catrobtain no as sistance. from the outside. If it. , capitulates, the loss of men and material, to say nothing of the imperlant position, will be a severe blow to France. pitiLADEI4I'IIIA EVENING BULLETIN, AIONDAY, AUGUST "The Flying' Send" at thp Walnut. The Fall season began at .the . Walnut Street 1 Theatre, on Saturday night, with BbuCicault's drama, The Flying Scud. This play. was pro.. dueed In this city only ()nee' before—at the 1 Chestnut Street Theatre two or three years ago—but it was not presented, in such an elab orate manner, or with snob, careful and taste ,ful.preparation , ns,has _be en_ghr_enAo=it,at the., Walnut. "The Flying ken d" is a horie which wins the Derby races, and the play is devoted •to the intrigues and rascalities of turf men and jockeys, together with a 'love story or :tivo to give the composition flavor. Like all of Boucicault's pieces-Leven the ••worst •of them—this one is arranged so as to produce the broadest and most striking effects. The outline is sharp and clear, and the situations are of a kind which .aPpeal most powerfully to the enthusiasm of an ordinary audience. The author knows exactly where the applause ought to come in, and he lays - his colors ou in snch a bold manner that he aIWaYS suc ceeds in touching his hearers. But it is all glitter and buncombe._ There is nOthinglsolid and substantial in the play. The characters are not new, and they are merely sketched at any rate. The incidents aro of such a commonplace descrintiOn • that a school-boy Might have invented them, and the plot can be guessed before the end of the first act. But it is undeniable that the:piece is attractive and interesting, and that it is capa ble of exciting an audience to a frOozy of de light. Booth never received half so'imich ap plause in Alio Walnut StreOt Theatre as Was best Owed Upon Mr. Chapman whcn.,he rode the {winner of the Derby upon the Stage. The dramatist does his joiner work :well: ',People arc satisfied to have the old , figures 'glued- to gether again hi a new shape, if the shape is pleasing. Only give a few exciting elimaxes,and let True Lose triumph and Virtue be its own reward, and bring Villainy to grief - in tliO last act, and the author may be aS prosy and as slangy as he pleases with his text, and may steal his characters from whatever uarter he chooses. The only obstacle to the popularity of The Flying bend with the masses, is, that it is too .Anglican in its c.luiracter. 'IR:IX:MB of slang, phrases, sporting personageS, technical terms, jockeying and racing incidents 'which are pectliarly English, and -with which our people are not at all familiar. The-se fault s cannot be remedied, and they will always make obscure to Americans many of the points in the play which would please an English audience. We are sure that the piece would have found great favor in this country long be fore but for this very defect. Mr. Boucicault has written plays that are flinch less entertain ing than this, and found them capable of at tracting American audiences night after night. It is likely, however, that these thing's will be counterbalanced in a measure by the excel lent manner in which the drama is mounted and acted. The performance of the Walnut Street company certainly was good. Miss I-and-Miss—Woo &hardly had fair opportunities to distinguish them selves, for each•is capable of ,playing-in a part which requires far greater ability _than is de- • 'Banded by any character in The. Elyiiig Setul But they all did as well as Mr. Boucicault per mitted. Perhaps Mr. Chapman carried off the highest honors by his clever personation of "Nat" the jockey. It was an artistic perform_ ance which deserves very warm praise and all the hearty applause bestowed upon it. Mr. Chapman would gratify the public if he would consent to appear oftener in leading parts of this description. He is too good an actor to be buried entirely beneath the duties of a,stage manager. Mr. Walcot's representation of the Jew turfman and blackleg was exagger ated enough to give it strength. The cha racter is not a grateful one, but it belongs to a class in delineation of which Mr. Walcot is eminently successful—although hardly as much so as in genteel comedy. Mr. Bailey played with a great deal of cleverness in " Col. Mulli . gan," an Irish character which has been taken from Thackeray acid diluted to the Boncicault standard. Mr. Morrison's "Tom Meredith " was distinguished for good taste, delicacy and feeling. The mountings of the play are very handsome. The scenery is all new, and beau tiful, and the immense panorama of the scenes on the road to Epsom is a creditable work of art, which was received with applause by the audience. We sincerely hope that the season begun so auspiciously will prove a profitable one; that The Flying Send will fill the house nightly until the regular season begins, and that the promise thus made of a successful winter will be com pletely fulfilled.

Aug. :'fl.—Speculations and all movement in theseverai markets here continued the past week, as in the preceding one, to turn mainly upon the progress of the European war. In some departments Onite a 'regnant condition prevailed, owing to the uncertainties et the eitriation, rendered peculiarly difficult of appre ciation because of the mixed character of the reports received of army openitions and the contradictory nature of the despatclies. In the gold market, however, there has been quite a fair degree of excitement, and operations there, mainly influenced by the German bankers, have beau carried on on a parallel line to the course of dealings during the war in Ode country. From the first of the Prussian sac ceseee the cause of North Germany has apparently be come identified, in its relation to the, gold premium with that of the North here, and every Prussian victory has been interpreted as a bear influence in gold. In the fre iieent announcement of these, which are the more ieedily believed, especially by the German bankers,than the contradictions of the same through French sources, although published side by aide, there has been from the mart an active selling movement in gold, under the in fluence of which the premium has steadily declined, closing last evenlnga t 11.1 . ..4a114%, as against 117%, the figure at which it opened in the room last Monday. This rapid falling off of the premium, very largely the reeultof sales on speculative account, 1143 the increasing demand for cash gold during the last days of the week show, the effect of yesterday's operations being not yet seen, suggEatireome thought whetner there has not been an over-confident feeling on the part of the bears. The theory of their operations involves a triple hypothesis. The first assumption is that the telegraphic accounts of Prussian victories are true ; that the French army is shattered and demoralized beyond hope qf effective reor ganization, and the chances of any considerable reverse everts , g the German troops now in France undesery - trig o consideration. The second proposition upon which the theory ie founded is that this successful movement tends to an early pacification. and , the . thihi that such AD early peace would reduce the prerniuKi on gold. It is ecarcely necessary to say that in oveey part of this hypothetical areument, too much le !liken fee granted. In the first place the very fact that the news 01 Prussian victories come only through Prussian or Pra-Prnasfan sources, and evidently alms at sensational ethos (such as the story of photographing Turcos cu the field of battle, fortnstanee h exposes itrat all events, to the suspicion of being exaggerated, If not purposely or wholly untruthful. Again, while it is not proposed to review the reported military situation here, it may not ho out el place as suggesting caution to those operators who follow in the wake of harper dealers without any exercise of their own judgment. that even supposing Marshal !to ntine to be apparently cut off from Paris, and the way of the Prueeian army clear to that city, its capture is not so certain. The French generals hive some reputa tion us strategists and this belief in the titter annihila tion of their great army may be premature. Furtner,it is by no means certain that the inveistment,or, iii fact., even capture, of Paris would compel the french to make peace it their armies remained intact. Tho popula tion of the country is over thirty-eight millions, and if driven to deeperation might certainly hold out,although the resources of the capital were lost to them use. means of defence. Our civil war has some such lessons. Lastly, suppose peace to ho concluded to morrow. is it so certain that the gold premium would de cline? The struggle, short as its progress hits been, lifts already produced grave disturbances in finance and occasioned heavy losses and expenditure in both countries. We cannot expect to escape a elm° iu the burdens which these must entail upon all trade. Be fore the war commenced gold was 112, and since that time we have exported over 520,000,063 coin. Gold is now 114%. and moving under the operatior of exciting causes, impossible of clear and calm analysis, in which this seems to be disregarded. When more sober thought directs dealings this loss or specie is likely to be more felt. The banks hero hold• only atout the same amount of coin reserve now that they did last year at this time. Gold was then at a pre mium of 132. It is true the country is more prosperous, with an increasing cotton crop, and mitre acres ott land yielding cereal wealth in greater abundance. Ilut nei ther France nor Prussia will he the richer for their ex perience of thee few weeks ,and it Is notlikely that they,willbe b etiStenittrelor us,whilocau either, and especially. the armor, from which wo import so many articles of luxury, affiltd to sell to., M4cheaper?

THE WAR IN EUROPE Advices Through French 'Sources The Policy of the French Ministry Bazaine , s Despatches Not Made HE CLAIMS A VICTORY Emperor and MacMahn at Chalons FROM NEW. YORX. NEW Yonx, Aug. 22.—The Paris 'corres pondent of the Courier des Eats &Vs sends the following despatch froin Paris .thiS . morn It is with much difficulty that I can obtain _positive_inforMati on-concerning,--the-situatiorr of affairs in the neighborhood of Metz.. Mar shal Bazaine still insists-, on -the necessity. of This is - wrong, in 'my opinion, fur the anxiety which preVails in . Paris, in spite of the categoric declarations of the Minister of War, is prejudicial to the national cause. The bourgeois are timid and distrustful, and think there would be no motive to conceal other than unfavorable news, and their dis content is fed by the not very reassuring -des patches which reach us from Brussels and London. I have myself ssen the latest despatches trom Bazaine. He declares positivelY'that he is the victor, and that his strategic movement . has been accomplished with success, but is attended with serious loss_e_s,___Why_not_give_ publicity to this despatch,and reassure un-. quiet spirits? The enemy could not gain from it any useful information. To sum up, I believe that the incessant com bats of the last seven days have - been favorable to us, but that they have not Yet brought about decisive results:. One fact is certain, the army of the Crown Prince of Prussia continues its march on Pans. Yesterday it was at rVitry-le-Francais, and if we may believe a report which has reached the Corps Legislatif, it has the appearance of moving to turn the camp at Chalons and fall upon the capital. The Emperor and Mac Mahon are at Chalons. They have too great a revenge to take to permit any movement likely to be suc cessful. Meanwhile measures are being taken by General Trochu which indicate that we are on the point of being besieged. Yesterday be issued a proclamation calling upon all de fenders of the capital to rally to his support, and declaring that the hour of danger had arrived. "It is for Paris to prove to the world," he added, " that long years of pros perity have weakened neither her nor her patriotism." On his part, Admiral Ronciere has ad dressed the seamen and marines who were de fending the forts in an order of the day making an appeal to the glorious memories of Sebastapol. ' The armament of the National Guard is complete. Yesterday more than fifty thou sand guns were distributed, and Ohevreau de clared to the Chambers that in a .few days a hundred thousand National Guards would be under arms. Grain is arriving in great quantities, and the city is provisioned for 'more than eight months. All this certainly indicates that if we are threatened with a siege we are cer tainly prepared to sustain it. The people of Paris axe iu excellent spirits and full of patriotism. They will rise in this crisis to the height of the situation. LONDON, August 22.—A despatch from pri vate sources says : The Garde Mobile is returning to Paris from the front, doubtless because it is un provided with arms. The Prussians intend to surround Metz with a circular railway. A private despatch from Paris says : Convoys with provisions have gone forward to supply both armies. Ono hundred and sixty thousand men have passed through Paris to the front since Friday morning. It is generally thought here, however, that the march of the Prussians cannot be arrested before- reaching Payis. It is believed that one more decisive battle gives Paris to the Prussians.
