New York, 13. GallariJct, the Paris editor of the French Covrier des Eiats i'nis, svuds the following dispatch : Paris is transformed into a camp of war. The armament of the fortifications fortifica-tions is complete. Five thousand additional ad-ditional artillery arrived on the 12th. There is serious agitation everywhere, but at Marseilles, Toulon and Lyons there is now no disturbance. In Paris the situation is the same, with much less tumult and more resolution. All classes of society and men of ail opinions opin-ions move toward the frontier and the current that way is unresistable. The first object of the new minister ot war has been to remedy all the defects de-fects of detail, and provide for the restoration res-toration of that part of the army most demoralited. We await with anxiety news from ! the army as the decisive aiomeut approaches. ap-proaches. Pispatches to the minister of war of recent reeonnoisjinces mado near the enemy" indie ate that tlie Prussians now have an invading army of 750.000 men between Cologne and Uastadi. We know, however, for certain that they have not more than 250,000 in Al.-aee and Lorraine. The chiels of the French army are fully prepared to resist this torrent of invasion. Over 400,000 troops will in a day or two be united between Vospes and Moselle. The bulk of the French army is now concentrated con-centrated around Metz, where the first detachment of the corps of General M;'lal)on and Failly arrived yesterday. The retrfat Of the troops was made n good order. The abandonment of Al-ace by the French troops" causes great anxie'y and discontent, at and near Strasbourg, which place was provided for in war maieria! and provisions, but tho garrison, garri-son, it is feared, will not be able to hold out long.
