PARIS AS LIKELY TO RISE AGAINST
NAPOLEON AS TO ARM AGAINST
PRUSSIA.
Mayekce, Aug. 8.
The great battle of Saturday was a complete
victory for the Prussians. Bismarck tele
graphs that it was won at Hagenau by the
third German army, under command of the
Crown Prince Frederick William, over the
united French corps dc armee of Marshals
McMahon, Canrobet and Defailly. Up till
now C000 prisoners liave l>een brought in.
over one hundred of whom are officers. Be
sides these, six m trailleurs, thirty odd cannon
and two eagles were taken.
Paris. Aug. 8.
The Emperor has sent a despatch to the
Empress Eugenie, in which he states that Gen.
McMahon had five divisions of the French
army < ngaged in the battle at Hagenau, but
that Gen. Failly was unable to join bill), ef
I fectivelv. with his command. During the
i fight the.French made several hold and bril
I liant charges.
| It is reported that Marshal McMahon is at
tempting to retreat upon Nancy. Gen. Fres
sard. wiien retreating, after the late engage
I mt-nt near Hagenau, left in tlie hands of the
Prussians tlie entire baggage in an encamp
ment of two divisions of Ins command.
Noon.—The city at this hour is tranquil.
•Tlie intense excitement prevailing during the
night and early this forenoon has quieted
down.
The Journal Official contains the follow ing
despatches :
Metz. Aug. 7,—9:30 P. M. In the battle
of Saturday near Kiesehotfen, McMahon’s
chicf-of-staff, Gen. Colson, was shot by the
Marshal's side. Gen. Hovoult is among the
missing. Our artillery suffered heavily, i
Marshal McMahon is now in communication
with Gen. Faillev. Metz is preparing for a
vigorous defence. The General commanding
the fortress, has ordered Germans and strang
ers to provide themselves with a permission
of residence.
Tlie Journal says that the relations of fhe
government of the Emperor with foreign
powers, continues everywhere satisfactory,
and believes that tlie late cvcpts are far from
prejudicing. This state of affairs renders
more significant tlie fact that what the gov
ernments desire in common with France, is
tlie maintenance of the European equilib
rium.
An imperial decree has appeared convoking
the Senate and Corps Lcgislatif to-morrow.
The report of the Minister of War ap
proved by tlie Empress, is published in the
Official Journal. The Minister says: Ex
isting circumstances oblige us to provide for
the defence of the capitol, and to garrison it
witli fresh troops, and allowing all those
which the Emperor keeps under his orders,
to control the open country against an enemy
emboldered hv his first success to the point
of marching on 1 aris. But Paris is not to la*
taken unaw ares. The exterior forts received
their armaments some time ago, and already
we have commenced to arm the walls around
the city. A state of seige has been declared
to facilitate at the execution of certain works
which will he commenced to-morrow; thus
the exterior forces are in a condition to sus
tain a regular seige, and in a few days the
entire circuit of walla will he found in a
similar condition. Neither strong arms nor
the devotion of the inhabitants will be want
ing for this task. The national garde is to
defend the ramparts, which it will have
help to render unassailable. Forty thous
and men taken from its ranks and added to
the present garrison, will be more than
I enough to make an active and vigorous de
| fence against an enemy occupying an ex
I tended front.
i ne aeiense oi rans men win ne assumed,
but there is a point not less essential; it is |
the necessity of filling up the void in our army 1
with the help of marine troops. With regi-'
ments still at our disposal in France and Al
geria, with the fourth battalion of each of our
hundred regiments, including the members
w ho belong to the Garde Mobile, and with a
portion of Gendarmes, we may easily put into
the field 150,000 men. Beside this n call for
the class of 1869 will give us 60.000 men who
in a month will become real soldiers. But
for the struggle we can also employ the entire j
National and Mobile Gardes Companies of,
France, and the Fieure, who are everywhere
asking to be organized here. We have 400,-■
000 men, and finally counting on the Garde |
National Sendentuiro France can then arm |
2,000,000 defenders. Their anus are ready
and u million still in reserve. A decree has
been issued ordering the Garde National of!
l’aris tu he detailed for the defenqg of the
Capitol, amt the fortifications will be placed
in a condition to resist an attack. A project
of law will be presented to the Chambers in
| corporating in the Nationall and Mobile
Gardes citizens under 30 years of age who
! are not actually members.

at (Jhalous, and that doctors have gone to
attend him.
The British Foreign Office has an impera
tive demand from Prussia, that England sl all
stop the shipment of coal or abandon tlie pie
tense of neutrality.
It is believed at Antwerp that the war will

treat towards Nancy. It is thought in mili
tary circles that he is endeavoring to form a
junction with the French forces at Metz.
Gen. Fressard is falling back lrom Soar
river with McMahon toward Nancy. His
corps in the late engagement suffered a
heavy loss in both officers and men.
Metz has been hurriedly placed in a state
of defence, and every male person in the
place has been pressed*into the service.
Gen. Buffimere is in command of the forti
fications at Metz, and it is believed that
should McMahon effect a junction w ith the
forces at present there, that the victorious
march of the Prussian nrtny through France
may be cheeked. In the event of McMahon
being cut off from Metz, there is not the
slightest doubt but that Gen. Buffimere will
be compelled to evacuate Metz and fall back
towards Paris.

tablished his head-quarters at Chalous, Sur
tnane, about half way between Metz and
Paris.

voked by equestrianism.
Bismarck in his letter takes speciai pains
to deny hav ing encouraged the plans of Gen.
Turr or others against Austria. He says
thntTurris not a person to be trusted with
political confidence.
French despatcl es to-day represent that
active hostilities ure momentarily suspended,
but a rumor prevails that the Prussian arms
have concentrated, and a battle is raging be
fore Metz.
The Pall Mall Gazette says that the result
of this battle means the triumph of the
Prussians in the war.
The German press generally consider the
French loss irretrivable, but there are three
French corps which have not yet been under
fire. The movement of a retreat for the
purpose of concentration lias been effected,
and a new line 01 defence taken up in the
passage of the Vosyes. A general battle in
the front of Metz is considered probable to
morrow.
The Prussians are moving by forced march
es in that direction. The defenses of Paris
are officially reported as nearly ready to re
sist the heaviest assault, and it is said that
IdO.fiOO men are ready to fill up the ranks of
the army in the field, and that the arming of
all adults is contemplated;
Special to the N. V. Tribune:
London. Aug. d. News from Paris hourly
grows more serious. None but official ac
counts can come by telegraph. It is from
letters and Paris journals that all intelligence
must be gathered. The declaration of the
state of the seige does not repress popular
demonstration, and it is very doubtful whether
the government has force to keep order or
put down any considerable demonstrations.
The republicans believe that their hour ap
proaches. and Paris at this moment is as
likely to rise against Napoleon as to arm
i against Prussia.
FROM NEW YORK.
New York, Aug. 8.
A Day of Rejoicing.
This hns been a day of general rejoicing
among German citizens, in consequence of
the victories of Prussian arms, and many
I business houses have suspended operations.
I The Germans are full of enthusiasm and free
ly predict the capture of Paris within the
; next few days. Steps will he taken at once
1 to orgai ize preparations for a mass meeting,
and for a grand public rejoicing, which will
! be the greatest demonstration of the German
\ population since the opening ot the war. The
i German Consul's office has been thronged to
1 day. and volunteers for the army are very
i numerous, though only those liable to mili
tary duty are received.
The French in this city are despondent and
i crest-fallen at Napoleon’s reverses, and the
i same spirit seems to pervade the Irish portion
of the population.
The Nathan Murder.
The witnesses before the Coroner's Jury in
the Nathan’nmrder case to-day were General
Frank P. Blair, l)r. Walter H. Peckham,
Washington McKensie, a carpenter,^ Urs.
Janverin and Ruppaner, and James Neis. a
newsboy. The testimony was important, but
nothing not already' made public was devel
oped except in the statement of the newsboy
that while folding papers on Mr. Nathan’i
doorsteps, three-quarters of an hour befors
the alarm of murder was given, he saw a mar
pick up a check from the steps and walk oh
with it, the door of the house being partly
open at the time, lie also stated that a crowi
of ten or fifteen men rushed up to the lioust
j , when (be alarm of murder was given. Tha
one of the Nathan brothers picked up a do.
ami showed it to the men, and that it was ful
ly ten minutes after thnt before officer Man
gam appeared.
