The Debats speaks as follows:' The order of the government ot raris, wince axpels trom tne capital German residents, belonging to a country coun-try at war with France, satisfies public opinion. It is hard to be obliged to resort to such extremities, the more because among those expelled are many who are probably harmless. But by what sign can they be known from others, in the presentsituation? With the enemy a few steps from Paris, we can't stop to examine them. Considerations Consid-erations are lost before the necessities of the public salety. Ifc is no longer two armies which meet in a last struggle. Germany first gave the war its present barbarous character. The Germans should blame their own country, to which they have been returned, for the misery anil suffering th:y may experience exper-ience from their expulsion.

Everything now is in suspense waiting the issue of the battle which must soon be fought in Ardennes or along the Meuse. Paris, fully prepared, is calm and filled with patriotism. All her men and youths are ready to take up arms at once. The Prussian arruy advancing on Paris by the valleys of the Aube and Seine is nothing but the landwehr.The ;Prinec Royal's troops hare turned north to meet McMahon. Gallairdet says the peasants along the line are annovinc the invaders. Paris.

No official announcement of this affair has yet been made by the minister of war or of the interior. The Public says McMahon is entirely free in his movements and is in perfect communication with Bazaine. To-day both must be fighting the enemy. The forced marches of the Prussian Prince Koyal must have used up many of his men, who are footsore and have to be transported in carts, whilethous-ands whilethous-ands are left behind.

That was greeted with great applause. Deputy Betsement demanded from the minister of marine an explanation of the reported filibustering expedition ot Crermacs from various ports cf the United Stares.

Tlcrlin 31 in, -tin, r n,0 notables here last evening framed an address to the King, protesting again -t permitting permit-ting foreign intervention, which would deprive Prussia of her reward for her late victories. The sacrifices of Germany Ger-many alone should be heard. Germany Ger-many was willing to confide all to the King of Prussia in establishing a peace which was not again to be wantonly broken. The North German Gazette gives the following as a correct statement cf the organization and movements of the armies of Germany : The Prince Koyal of Saxony commands com-mands four divisions, organized as previously reported. This army has been ordered to meve on Paris by the way of llheims, while a third army is moving to the same destination through Troyes. Eight army corps are therefore there-fore now moving on Paris. The first army, in command of Stein-metz, Stein-metz, consists of the tirst, seventh and eighth army corps. This army is now near Metz. The second army is that of Prince Frederick Charles, comprising com-prising the i-eeond, third, ninth and tenth corps. This also is near Metz.
