The j German (Kuzctte of War oral Pi-ace, a \ journal of the highest military authority i in Prussia, openly admits that Paris is'i : beyond the reach of bombardment, and, < !impregnable to us/ault. The outlying]} j forts are at a distance of about, three ;i j thousand paces from, the oicchifc, and i j their guns eommand a range of rromjj four to live.thousand paces. The Prus-!( si an batteries cannot Mlerefore be placed ;j i nearer than six or seven thousand paces'j 'I'hn ItfiniliafiJnipnt of 11 irom iiju eu,>. JL.4 Paris from such a distance intmjirnerica- j I ble, and the GttScHc expressly skvs that u the Germans "are not in n position to? j 1 bombard the centre of the capital, while' j the partial bombardment of a few* fun-' j boutgs would not aftlct the resistance of , [ the beseiged." The lirst step towards!^ tlie capture of the city by directly oIIen-!t *ivo operations must be, tiu*efore, the 'j reduction of the forts. The.-e pre f--o;| skillfully placed that each i- commanded j by the ;uns of the two nearest forts, and -j the seige of one involves the solge of ?, all three, it being necessary to silence,"] two before the third and intervening ( one can be occupied. This would be a;tj work of the utmost difficulty and dan-J^ gcj\ The mere dropping of shells into j j( the forts accampiishs little, since the ^ garrison can easily take refuge in their',, bomb^roofe. The walls of the forts'? must be knocked to picecs t<> such an 'tl extent as to permit the entrance ofa'c storming column.

Their reduction, which is an indispen-1 sable preliminary to the bombardment j j of Paris or an attack cncciutc, Is there-j,j fore seen to be a lask of t4io utmost dilii-j ^ cultv. The (Jo3e-tte honestly admits that j, "the forts were erected to protect the'j capital and have uot failed to do so." j'c , What is called the "bombardment of] j Jiiris" is the veriest farce. It is simply j ir noisy discharge of artillery, kept npj( either* for the purpose of making it!,, appear that Paris, when it may stirren- !(| ' " Imj lmnn /?in> 1 tpl I;vl tO i c tier irom iuiuiuc, , . yield to the irresistible weight of Krupp's guns, or in order to prevent Troehu 1'rom! j, removing the guns from the forts, in ^ pursuance of the startling movement ^ which he is about to majw. The starvation of Paris, unless the ,! city should Ik- relieved by the armies ofjj. of the provinces, is of course a mere]' question of time. Foreseeing thin, und|c knowing his inability to break' through i t the German lines, it is believed that I r Troelui contemplates no less bold a' >, movement than the eyacuution of the {~ city, and t.he concentration of Jiis army}*in ?n inn > use intrenched cbmpnt Mont 1^. Valericn, ou the we.s.t side of Paris. J)r. j Russell, in a letter to tne distinct- f, ly foreshadows this movement, and''., remarks that day after (lay he Iwsseen ? li'iyled wagon trains entering the fort 011 j Mont Valericn, and returning to l'aris empty. The-recent sortie which was made on the east side of the city was a',, part of this plan, and was intended to . distract the attention of the enemy frnfii (j, the movemout of guns and provisions . fo Mont Valericn. That the Germans j" have an idea of Trcohu's intentions 1 would appear f?om their violent boni-j,i: '?1 * " * r">-tu T~av.

It i.s from tito.~L-' forts that Troeho would natural]v fli\st | {, remove the guns which it is hiij object ..j to curry.to his intrenched enmi>. The Lf Gentnaiisuim to prevent tills by a, eon-1 jj tinued and heavy lire. The very sik-ne.ej p of the forts is, however, a probable .* evidence that the guns are uhvady re-1 moved. j. The advantages to bo gained b^tlins? , evacuating Paris is plain. Mont Valerien is now a work of' tremendous r strength, commanding the whole city. ' If Troelm can place within its lines the army and the jcunsand provisions of the j, capital, ho can easily ufibrd to throw nn/.n the rates of Paris to the besiegers. ' The latter will have a whole population ^ to feed, ami will capture no materals of ^ war of any consequence. The army of Parisian, however, bcinhtet, sheltered by works capa!4e of standing a pro-;^, longed siege, and armed with the heav-]t iest guns, and provisioned for a year to:;i come. The (Jermans will really bo bo- j. sieged in Par is v for tbey will be at the _ mercy of TVoehu's guns, should he he! willing to bombard the capital. Safe in j his camp, Troehu can wait for sjMimr, i knowing that every week is a gain to France and a loss to tlie invaders. The war will thus indefinitely postponed, and the chances of war wi<i all be in favor of the French. It shouhi.be remembered that Troehu's army, and not'c the city of Paris itself, is the rcHl object-jj jive of Von Moltke. If Troehu wives his^*1 ??,i tho u-*rnt Hit? eoati' U.ILUJ ( of surrendering Pur is, ho will hit veil earned the tit ie or one of the ablest] strategist*) ot* the age. That this is his,4 purpose, all t?je indications seem to l how. Indeed, it is said that he is so 1 confident in the success of the con torn- j1 j plated movement that he has fully de-! 1 i scribed it in his will, so that in ease of j' his sudden death his siicccs^-or can carry; li out.?-V. }r. )Y&rld. jj TI13 Land Riag Once Mpre. i The substance of the last prpnuncla-! , menU) of Senator and ex-Land Conimis-I Isiouer O. r.
