Sensational Iteport?-Affairs tn Parla. LONCON, August 9.-Tho Pall Mall Gazette has assurances, from private sources in Paris, that the Empir? is on the verge of a oollapse. The Germans are expected in Paris. Even if they aro arrested in their pro? gress, the Empire is dead. The Parisians ore receiving arms, and they are all Republicans at heart. The esta? blishment of a Provisional Government is already talked of. The Orlcanists, through Generals Ghangarnier and . Troohu, aro in the ascendant, und emi? nent Imperialists are leaving France. Publia opinion here receives with favoi the advent of Gen. Ghangarnier. Anthentio advices from France show that Marshal Bazaine, Commander-in Chief, bas 180,009 men at Metz; McMa? hon 50,000 at St. Avoid, and Cauroberl 60,000 at Nancy. Letters from Paris say tho citizens, defiant of martial law, continue tc assemble on tho streets and discuss th? war. A rumor has reached hero that the Prussians are in Mulhausscr, sixty-ou? miles South-west of Strasburg. PARIS, August 9.-The Minister of tin Interior has issued a proclamation, an nouneiug, according to the terms of tin law bf 1819, that, on the declaration o a Btnto of siege, the military authorities have the right to interdict ail publica tiona of a nature to excite or keep U| disorders, and snob a proposition as tba made by tho Si?cle, to institute a com mittee of defence tends to anarchy an< compromises unity of action, creatinj useless agitation. On the advice of th Council of Ministers, it is decided tba the military authorities shall apply prc scriptivo measures to any journal renew iugsuch proposition. Republican am Democratic journals advise the imme diate meeting of tho Corps Legislati and arming of tho people. They a censure strongly the disorders whic havo taken placo in tho streets, an connsel calmness and moderation. Deputies to the Corps, now in Paru met yesterday afternoon, and called upo the Empress. Great activity in enrolling of volur teers in all parts of tho city. 33,0(1 workmen are strengthening the fortif cations, assisted by 20,009 sailors froi the navy. The Gaulois says false news of victor was disseminated in Strasburg, la: week, at the same time it waa sent oi here. Thero was a preconcerted attorn] to deceive, the nation. The Journal Ojjiciel contains the fe lowing notices and decrees: "Minist Washburne was received yesterday I the Empress, for the purpose of delive ing the reply of President Grant to lt tera recalling Minister Berthemy. Tl departments of Cote L'Or, Saone, Lo raine and Rhone, are declared in a sta of siege." Edmund About writes from the fiel bitterly condemning the Emperor's m: management. He says: "Huving d olared war, he lot the Prussians begin It is true, that neither party was reai to act. The French lost twenty days marohing and counter-marching. Th were surprised nt Weissenburg by t enemy, whom thero were no videttes watch, no skirmishers to meet, and plan to repel." The decree relative to tho iucorpoi tion in the ranks of the National Hoi Guard of all citizens between thc a? of thirty and forty years, who do r already belong to nomo of the milite organizations, convoites all chiefs corps, and prescribes measures for i mediate re-armamout of the guard w guns; adhered to breech-loaders; iu s tions where tho National Guard bas i heretofore been organized, the chiefs battalions have already been appoint and, thanks to tho efficiency of thc m sures taken, tho organization of tho I tional Guard will soon extend to evi part of France. In the department the Seine, where that organization strongest, it has already given proof devotion and patriotism which can: bo changed by the circumstances throt which we aro passing. On demand the Minister of War, the Prefect t morning charged tho engineers of municipal service with the execution plans for strengthening tho fortificati of Paris. This service will bo organi at once and divided between three cl eugineers and eleven assistants. E chief will bo in charge of an arrondi! mont. The Prefect commits tho cl supervision of the entire work to 8pector-GeneraI Arphaud. At 2 o'clock yesterday, the direct of tho service, in presence of geno and colonels, directors of the fortil tions, opened negotiations with tho n considerable contractors of Paris. Tl contractors said they would make conditions, but placed their fortunes their personal services, their mate and their experience at tho disposal tho authorities for tho d?fonces of Pi The officials and engiuecrs at onco t possession of tho work-shops offeree tho contractors. Last night, posters were distribi over tho city, inviting citizens botv tho nges of thirty and forty to pre themselves within three 'days at Mayoralty house, for enrollment in National Guard. As soon as cu meut is completed, the distributic arms will commence. Tho Corps L?gislatif met to-day. order of tho day, directed against Ministry, was proposed by Clement reonois, and was adopted by a large jority. Ollivier asked for a sus sion of the sitting for a few minute Tho proclamation of martial lav rather a precautionary than an im] tive measure, and its rigorous enf ment is not couteinplatcd. Tho official journal, after descr the resources aud patriotic spirit ol nation, which has always been au stacie to Prussian ambition, asks other ipower would liko to seo Pi making tho North and Baltic sens : sian lukes, invading smaller States and ac q u i ring dan ger juspropon doran oe? Fa? vorable aigus are already apparent. Eng? land is satisfied with the categoric as? surances of Franco, and hastens to ren? der secure the Northern frontiers of France by causing Belgian neutrality to be respected. In Sweden, Norway and Denmark, popular feeling is with France, and the Emperor of Russia gives proofs of the best understanding with France. Aus? tria and Italy are arming, and will cause embarrassment to Prussia. French di? plomacy is not more idle than French arms will be, and France will prove she hus not degenerated in 1870. HAMBtno, AugU3t 9.-The river Elbe bas been closed to prevent tho entrance of tho Freuch fleet, but a small passage is still loft open at Goose Island for steamers of traffic.
