TIM SITUATION IN FRANCE.
The headquarters of the Prussian " Army of
Paris" remains at St. 'Dizier, but a short dis
tance in advance of the former position at Bar
le Due, but the general movement of the army
seems to be onward. The Crown Prince,upon
the right,has passed through Chalons, it is sup
posed with a large portion of his army, while
the left advances more slowly up the valley of
the .Aube. On Saturday the scouts of the
Prince were at Chateau 'l'hierry, a village, upon
the Paris and Strasbourg railway, fifty miles
from Paris. This morning they are an
nounced at Meaux, a small ~ town upon the
same railway, but twenty-eight miles from the
capital. - This — certainly indicates the unceas
ing advance of the main body, which occupied
Chalons, andlndicates the onward movement
of the -whole-force- which-,joined-the Crown
Prince. It is not unlikely we shall hear of the
arrival of this array of 250,000 or 300,000
Prussians in front of Paris in a day or two.
Me Pariiiian papers admit - isucha probability;
'and•bave nothing better to offer their readers,
in view of the approaching disaster, than ap
peals to arms and prophecies of Prussian de
feat, founded upon ingenious but not very
satisfactorY demonstrations of the folly of the
Prussians in leaving their base so far in the
rear.
Meanwhile attention is directed again to the
neighborhood of Metz, from whence we have
reports - of severe fighting between the Prussians
-antniacMahon. The latter general is at Mont
medy, trying to force a junction with Bazaine
but the task appears to be a hopeless one. The
Prussia.ns surround Bazaine completely, and
they are able to offer such sturdy resistance to
Mae:Mahon that he will probably not accorn
_plishhis object.___They_occupy____T4lnguion,
which controls the highways and railroads to
Thionville and Etain, and they hold Stenay,
which commands the roads south to Verdun
and west to Rheims. The collision between
these armies seems to have occurred on Satur
day, between Montinaly and Stenay,,. A de..
• II ;nt of he arm' of the Crown Princewas
sent up from Vouzieres to Stenay to support)
the Prussian force at the latter place and to at
tack MacMahon's flank. The manoeuvres of
the Prussians, according to onr despatches re
ceived this morning, were successful, and Mac-
Mahon was defeated. It seems not unlikely,
that he will soon find himself in Bazaine's pre
dicament=-sarrounded by an overwhelming
force of Prussians and unable to move in any
direction. We may expect to hear of more
hard fighting from the same quarter within a
very - fin( - Yrilline. Mac - Mahon must make some
niovement,either toward Bazaine or back again
toward Paris.--
HOW IT WORKS
The public is beginning to see the practical
working of the American Press Association in
supplying reliable and early news, not only
from all parts of our own country but from
Europe. The old New York Associated Press
enjoyed the monopoly of furnishing news to
the American press so long, that the public was
gradually deluded into the absurd belief that
that little clique of New York newspapers
owned the sole right of receiving and pub
lishing. news, and that any one who ventured
upon its domain was an interloper or an im
postor.
This grinding monopoly has grown fat on th•
fruits of this successful delusion, and has domi
neered Over the whole business of journalism in
this country, forbidding or crushing out news
paper enterprises, and doling out news to or
withholding it from the public just as its own
private interests were best served.
The establishment of the American Press
Association, in February last, broke up this
old monopoly and opened the field of the
world's news .freely to American jona.nalism
and, through that channel, to the people. At
first the New York Associated Press sneered
at it as unworthy of its notice. Then it began
to lie about it.,..Finaily .It.. has. CO= . , t - steal
from it regularly and greedily. From the very
outset, the American Press Association entered
vigorously upon the business of collecting im
portant news from all parts of the world, and
again and again distanced its overgrown rival,
by anticipating its intelligence. Many notable
instances of this success might be cited in proof
of this assertion. In some instances the only
intelligence received in this country of really
important events has come through the Ameri
can Press Association, and in many more
cases, it has been received much earlier than
by the New York Associated Press. Only
yesterday, the American Press Association• re
ceived the news of the renewal of active hostili
ties near Montmedy, and the papers of the
New York Associated Press deliberately stole
it, without taking the trouble to correct a
typographical error in the despatch, and with
out any credit to the source from whence it was
taken, and the war despatches of the American
Press Association are daily to be found, dove
tailed in among the items of the old co Bern,
in the same manner.
•
As with foreigno withAomestic-news4rhe:
Ameifeail Press AsSoclatiOn is on the alert, to
obtain whatever of news is worth publishing
frem . all parts of the country, and, for a young
institution, its success is very remarkable,.
On Sunday, a week ago, Archbishop Purcell de
livered an important speech . in Cincinnati on
the (Ecumeidcal Council. Much anxiety was
felt to know what position would be taken by
this eminent prelate. The New York Associ
ated Isness uiatTe a"great shear ofp - reparat
forward a report of the speech. Extra repor-
ters were engaged and extra wires secured, and
the =American _Press Association. was to be
‘ 4 left out in the cold." But the American
Press Association was not to be caught_ nap
ping, and its Cincinnati agent, a &striate type
of Young American enterprise, forwarded over
the wires of the Pacific , and Atlantic Telegraph
Company,in time for Monday morning's papers,
the full and accurate report of the Archbishop's
speech which we presented to the readers of
the EVENING BULLETIN on Monday after
noon, while the New York Association, with
all its vaunted facilities, made a total failure
of it. •
The American Press Association is, as yet,
In its infancy, but it has built Itself up an a
sound foundation, and is conferring upon
American journalism and the Amelimn read
ing public constantly increasing benefits. The
bitterness with which the New York Asso
ciated Press lies about it, and the unblushing
_coolness with which it steals from it, are good
proofs that it has already become an institution
not to be despised.
A POSSIBLE RETRIBUTION.
The report from Paris that all the pictures
and great works of art in. the Louvre have
been packed in cases ready, for hurried re
moval, if the Prussians approach, too near the
city, suggests the reflection that seizure of
some of these treasures by the Prussians could
not be regarded as an . act of gross injustice.
The uncle of the present Emperor was the first
modern conqueror who pursued as a system
the cultivation of the resthetic tastes of his own
people, at the
‘ expense of others, and made'
regular levies upon the public and private art
collections of defeated nations.' He began this
business of, robbery during his very first cam
paign in Italy. At Ills - request the -Directory
sent to him a committee of artists who moved
with the army and whose business it was to
-select from-the galleries seized by Napoleon -
the works which were most meritorious and
valuable. These clever critics began their
labors in the territories of the. Duke of Parma.
frOnil Whom • they -timli- twenty of his z finest'
paintipgs. The -Duke of Modena, the next
victim, also was robbed of a score of invaluable
paintings, including some of Corregio's noblest
works. During the same campaign the famous
Ambrosian Library in Milan was ransacked
by the French corps of connoisseurs and a
large portion of its most precious contents
was shipped off to Paris. Subsequently when
the Papal territory was invaded quantities of
pictures, statues and other works of art were ,
seized at different periods "by Napoleon and
sent to the Directory, with the information
that the artist collectors " bad made a good
harvest of paintings in the Papal dominions,
which, with the objects of 'art ceded by the
Pope, included alinost all that was and
valuable, excepting some few -objects at Turin
and Naples." In Venice Napoleon displayed
the same kind of rapacity, levying upon pic
tures, statuary and even manuscripts of inesti
mable value, and in enormous quantities.
Later in his career he subjected Prussia to the
same treatment, and.-removed--from Berlin and
-other_cities_all_thelinestpaintings_anii:works_oL
art, including the monument •of Victory
erected at, Berlin _by Frederick. the Great, and
he even seized'at Potsdam the sword, belt and
'hat of that monarch. Some of this and the
other plunder with which Paris was enriched
was returned to its rightful owners ,by the
allies after the overthrow of NapoliOn; but
eery much the larger portion of it remained in
Pans, and is in that city now.
So, if the Prussians should enter the capital
and secure the treasures of the Louvre and of
other collections, it is likely they would obtain
a good deal of their own property, and much
more to which they would have quite as strong
a claim as the French have. It would be sim
ply just retribution if they should put into
practice the principles established by the first
Napoleon, and confiscate not only the fruits of
his long series of thefts, but appropriate the
best French works of art. The French ad
mired very warmly Napoleon's system when it
produced results so splendid for France. They
cannot reasonably complain if the same system
is made to operate to their grievous injury; but
perhaps they will appreciate better than they
ever have done, the rage and despair which
filled the souls of the Italians and Germans,
when they were despoiled by the Imperial rob
ber seventy years ago.
•
TRIERS' REVENGE.
Four weeks ago M. Thiers was one of the
most unpopular men in Paris. In the frenzy
of enthusiasm with which the French people
received the first intimation of the intention of
the Emperor to declare war, he was cool and
dispassionate, and he protested against the pro
posed act, declaring that France was unpre
pared, and prophesying disatiter. De warned
Napoleon not to undertake the Mexican expe
dition, and the fate that he foretold befel that
unhappy enterprise ; but this proof of his clear
sightedness did not prevent the excited people
_of Parisi:row .scorning .cot nselsin. the .pro-
sent crisis, and from denouncing him and re
garding him as a faint-hearted and false
prophet of evil. The wonderful events of the
present campaign have again vindicated his
judgment and perspicuity. The French army
is beaten, divided and, demoralized upon its
own soil ; the invader'is in front of Paris, and
fearful disaster appears to be impending. It is
now entirely evident that all this panic and de
feat can be charged directly to the fact
that France was not prepared for
such a war, but that there was miserable- in
competency, demoralization and corruption - I'n
every department of the military organization.
M. Tillers knew much more of the actual
state of affairs than his colleagues and de
nouncers seem to have done, and he may well
claim, he has, that all this misery might
have been spared to France if his counsels had
been heeded. A complete acknowledgment
pf the justice of his position and of the high
character of his patriotism has been made
by placing him, against his wish, upon, the
Committee of Defence. It is indeed -a most
proper .place forlim, for to hts energy'bniC
gacity" the city of Paris is indebted for whatever
possessei to resist the attack : of an
invading army. M. Thiprs is the author_of
those magnificent fortifications which. - surround
the city, and offer a formidable obstacle,
manned though they be with civilians, to the
approaching . armies of Prussia. It is to be
feared, however, that he has been taken into
the confidence of the government at too late a
- Ti ay. is plan was to keep the Prussian army
away altogether by letting them alone. It is
PHILADELPHIA. EVENING- BULLETIN, MONDAY,,AUGI.7ST ,29, 1870.
unlikely now that even his genius will exclude
them, from Paris. Certainly it will not save
the Empire.
Whatever the popular opinion of -the -action
Of Napoleon in provoking the present war, it
is evident that the mass of the French people
are now filled with hatred of the invader, and
are thoroughly aroused to a determination to
resist the Prussians to the last extremity.
Nearly every, available man in Paris is armed
and in the fortifications, and the provinces in
the south *and west are actively engaged in
recruiting troops. In Lyons a corps of veteran
soldiers has already been, organized, and has
taken the field, and others are declared to be
forming in the same locality. In various other
parts of- France there is promise of like ener
getic action, and the Paris papers declare that a
new army of fifty thousand men will soon be
ready for action. Even the peasants in the
provinces occupied by the Pritesians ex
press - their hatred -- of the - invaders — by
such stealthy, and sometimes brutal
and cruel demonstrations of opposition as
they dare venture without military organiza
tion. But almost all of these new recruits are
men who are unaccustomed to discipline, un
familiar with arms, and without either good
weapons or knowledge of their proper, use.
Such a host as this, no matter how great its
size or bow fiery its patriotism, will avail little
in a contest with the splendid armies of Prus
sia. It is likely that the Prussians can march
enough troops into France to equal any force
of any kind that the French can bring, against
them, and every man of them is a"., trained sol
dier armed with the finest weapons in exist
ence. It is an unequal contest in which the
heroism and desperate valor of the French will
be overmatched by the discipline-and- efficient
armament of their enemies.
The Wilmington Commercial has a Phila
delphia correspondent Who 19 evidently an
attaché of some newspaper belonging to the
Associated Press, and a steady admirer of the
vassalage of his employer. Hekrites a clever
enough letter, but he has an unpleasant habit
°lna confining himself to truthful statements.
On Saturday this person asserted that it often
happens that the journals belonging to the
American Press Association receive but ten or
twenty lines of news daily. Upon the very
afternoon of the- publication of this falsehood
the BULLETIN printed three full columns of
cable despatches exclusive of head-lines, and
every word of this•was sent over the . Atlantic
by the agents of the American Press Associa
tion, excepting half a column translated from
a despatch in the Cour r ier des Etats Unis, and
about a quarter of a column of. special
despatches which appeared in certain New
Yolk papers. Two columns and a half of this
news was received before three o'clock, and
'minted in that edition of the paper which was
distributed by our carriers. All of the de
spatches were clear, intelligible and important,
and there was none of the absurd contradic
tions, none of the exaggeration of small mat
ters, which distinguish the news of - the - New
York Associated Press. We assert not only
that we beat the afternoon papers in this city
that depend upon the New York concern, but
that the BULLETIN contains daily more cable
news than any other evening paper in the
United States.

The New York Money Market.
[From the N. Y. herald of to-day.)
SI'N'DAY. Atm. 2.S —While the volume of, business the
past week was far below the average, and while the mar
kets outride of gold were seldom so inactive, the present
inert influences affecting the financial situation are of
mere than usual interest. It is this singular contrast be
tween the gravity of the situation and the quietness of
the street that commands attention. ft shows that Wall
street is like the world at large. Iti needs agitators and
leaders to Influence movement based on the causes which
otherwise lie inoperative. Were it not for the great
captains of finance who sweep into and through the
streets at intervals the operation of natural laws would
be but a prosy matter, and speculators of limited capital
would seek other fields for the trial of their luck.
Hence it is that at a season when the watering places
have not yet lost their attraction for the great leading
spirits of speculation the Wall street markets respond
but fitfully, if at all, to the changes in the current of
speculative influences.
In such a condition of things it is easy to understand
that speculative transactions have of late been gene
rally consummated in the Gold Boom, the speculative
spirit there finding an opportunity to try its fortunes
upon a medium of more shifting value than elsewhere
presented in the vicinity of the Stock Exchange. But
even in this - direction the venture of capital has been of
*limited amount, for the opportunities of rapid move
ment have been almost counterbalanced by the risk of
the undertaking, tho current week exhibiting a.
fickleness in the fluctuation of the gold premium
which has mita)l calculation at defiance. The earliest
sales of gold on Monday were at 114,t1, from which, de
spite large contracts on the short side, there was an ad
vance to 117, at which point the same short interest was
deceived into the belief that gold was destined logo back
among the " twenties," and a further rise to 118 was
occasioned by the covering of the original short
sales. The legitimate demand ceasing at this
figure there_, was an eventual relapse to 1163. i.
Here was it - movement of between three or
four per cent, the gainers in which ware so by pure
chance. The check to speculation produced by it re
flected in the closing dullness of the gold market and in
the dwindling down of the clearances from a hundred to
only forty millions daily. The rise and fall followed in
some measure the - changing aspect of the warlike affixa
tion. in It urcitAti-hiit theit -general inconsistency was be- -
frayed by the timidity which followed the alternate re
ports that pools had been formed on the one Bann to ad
vance and on the other to depress the price ofgold The
short interest at the beginning .of the week, based upon
an expected speedy settlement of the war by the Prus
sian conquest of Paris, and reflected in MA borrowing
rates for cash gold, was intimidated into covering by
the report of the organization of a powerful "bull "
clique. A " long " interest tempted by the same report,
found its hands full of gold Just at the moment that
another report was circulated of the formation of a
powerful " bear " pool. The consequence was a sharp
decline in the price and great loss to the speculators,
who were afforded another opportunity for verifying the
truth of the saying that " Wall etreeet is a hard ;lace to
make money in."
The question, however, which absorbs most interest,
and now constantly exercises the mind of Wall street,
is the future of the money market in the interval to the
cessation of the fall demand from the South and West.
Attention has been particularly directed to this matter
by the steady decline in the resources of the banks,
whose surplus beyond the legal reserve is confined to
the sum ofonly ten millions of dollars, an amount which
experience has shown is easily within the reach of
speculative contraction. But the situation this fall is
different from that for many years. The remembrance
of the events of last autumn, with its terrible stock
panic, was so deeply impressed upon the street that in
contrast to other years the interval since last September
has been exceedingly dull. The obliteration of the fa
cilities for speculation on the ono hand and caution on
the other produced a marked decrease in speculative
animation. The sufferors by the panic seem to have re
membered only the terrific decline in prices, and have
been patiently waiting for a return of September that
they may correct the mistake of last year. Hence,
while the bullish feeling of the summer has been
of little moment, the " bear" plane for the cool
ing fall have been gradually organizing and
have taken so deep a bold of tho public mind that ac
tive money is impatiently awaited as the signal for a
general movement for lower prices. It is,the extensive
character of this feeling which is likely to defeat itself..
It is here that we shall find the solution of stook move
mitts in the approaching season. The speculative
stocks are in the hands of the cliques and_ heavier ope
rators, whe bought in the winter and spring, but have
found no market as yet in which to sell them. A very
active—A stringent—money market would, of course,
embarrass them in their possession of the lead ; but
should they; as, they have done before, exert their
credit and procure time loans, at high rates of interest,
they would doubtless dismiss the idea of marketing their
stocks at present and retain them over the crisis. It may
be .that they cannot follow out so felicitous a pro
gramme as thus indicated. Tho money.
course this never so barren of prophetic signs as to course this
fall. But that the public may make a great mistake in
operating for a heavy decline In stock in the interval_to
.tbeielaxation of money is - very - obvious, __The -- cliquey
may turn their extremity into a greatitfall for the

L07 , 11/01i, August 253, 11 A. M.—A report was
current here of a' battle on the Meuse, in
which the Prussians lost' fifty thousand men.
It turns out to be entirely untrue.
On the contrary a report prevails today that
a battle has takep 'place between the ,Crown
Prince and Marshal MacMahon,in which the
latter was defeated.
There is no news from Bazaine, and troth-

A French Report of the Situation—DlM.
et:titles of Telegraphic Communication.
- NEw-Yonx,-Aug. Z:—The correspondent of
the Cotti - rier des Etats lints, Paris, Aug. 28th,
evening, says :
" Itis extremely difficult this morning to
send any despatches. The central offices have
facilities hardly sufficient for the transmission
of government telegtams. M. Chevrau him
self announces that a great number of private
despatches have to be forwarded daily by
mail to their destinations in consequence of
the overcrowding of the wires. I hope this
one will arrive; anyhow I shall tisk it.
The Minister of the Interior bad pub
lished yesterday a number of official de
spatches in relation to the invading armies.
It is evident that they are , approaching,
and from all appearances _the_ _ enemy
cannot • be .before Paris before Wed
nesday. His siiies are perhaps daily
in our neighborhood. They are certainly in
side our walls,a.nd a dozen, ave been shot this
week, but . there 'remain some
among us, and many Prussian cavalry 'are at
I at Chalons, and some (e
-tachments at Epernay.
" The appearance of a division of the enemy.
between Rheims and Soissons seems to Indi
cate that the invasion also comes through the
valley of the Aisne and Oise.
--P•Arns, August-:—lmperial headquarters
were established on Saturday at Vouziers. An
advance•guard-a-MaeAlahon's forces-had-d
-feated the Prussian vanguard in an encounter
at Atte gny, near VouZiers.
The Crown Prince
is said to have detached the bulk of his army
to the north against AliacMahon. Marshal
Bazaine is reported to be moving in the coun
try between Churney, Etain and Metz, while
Marshal MacMahon is said to be operating in
the Valley of the Ardennes, and a great battle
is expected to be fought soon in the country to
the right of Rheims and Epernay.
Despatches from the vicinity of Rheims
state that 20,000 Prussians—cavalry and in
fantry—passed through Chalons, yesterday,on
their way to Epernay.
Rale of Napoleon.
LONDON, Aug. 29.—The Paris correspondent
of the London Times says that the opportunity
to deprive Napoleon of power,even if it existed,
has not been seized, and may never return.
Imperialists are recovering their boldness 'and

THE ROMAN QUESTION.
WAR Rome be Seized by Italy?
An Italian correspondent of the World says:
The return of the Prussian ambassador,
Count d'Arnim, whose departure from Rome
to Berlin I mentioned in a late letter,/is an
nounced with delight by the Unita Catholica,
on, account of the personal assurances he is
stated to bring from the King to the Pope of
his friendly disposition to the Holy See. That
paper states that the Pope appears per
fectly tranquil in his mind, and assures all who
approach him that . Rome will not
be invaded by regular or irregular
Italian troops. The' • equanimity of
Pius IX.. under
,present circhnistanas
.is noted by the correspondents'of anti- ilc al
papers, as well as by the orthodox Ma, and
is equally attributed by them to his trust in
Providence .and Prussian powder. Only if
we may believe the Italian papers of to-day,
Count d'Arnim is still at Berlin,and therefore
has not yet brought his Holiness the desired
autograph of King William. In its leading
article on the oth the bame Unite institutes a
close parallel between the ' restora
tion to his throne and possessions of Pius VII.
in 1814, by means of Protestants and Schis
matics, working blindly for the ultimate gOod
of the church, and the probable results in favor
of Plus IX. should the victory this time rest
with Prussia: When that exiled Pontiff re
turned triumphant to the See of 'Peter, it was'
not, says the Unita, the Christianity of Franco,
nor the apostolic Catho , icity of Austria, that
gave back to Pius . Vll. his provinces of Ra
venna, Ferraraißologiaai - and - the—cities—of
the Marches, but the helping hand of Prussia.,
