Paris. 29. The JV.-iV. a Semi cc-ial cc-ial organ, says: When the seige of the capital is both possble and prol a ble, we must think of the institutions of the country at large as weil a; those of Paris. We ask ourselves if it would not be prudent to transfer to another city the ministry of the interior? The presence of the ministry ia Paris will become useless, for Paris boseiged belongs be-longs exclusively to the military auth oritj- but should political considerations, considera-tions, wnieh seem to be of seoendary imponance, but which may still be worthy of notice, in the opinion of the ministry, induce them to remain in Paris, is there not some means o! centralizing the administrative power'.1 Paris, August 29, midnight The.e have been scenes of extraordinary animation ani-mation in the faubourgs to-night.

It is positively known that ad the Prussian forces have been concentrating concen-trating for two days upon Bethel. Youziers 'and Montmedy. The Prince Royal appears undecided. He has arrested his course at Chalons, owing to his ignorance of McMahon' s intentions. The same want of information has led to the movements uf Stcinmetz and Prince Frederick Ch;.rles, who first marched toward Montmedy. The leaders oi the three armies of the enemy lost all day, according to accounts, in deliberating deliber-ating what course to pursue. .McMahon has gained such advantages through this delay that the army of the Crown Prince cannot reach him before he has fought with Prince Frederick Charles. When the Crown Prince arrives 15a-zaiuu 15a-zaiuu will also have had time to come up, as he is not surrounded but free to move anywhere from his entrenched camp. A council of ministers was held to-1 day. Paris is entirely prepared to stand a siege. London, Aug. 20.

St. Petersburg papers of the 23d formally deny that the Czar has in any way recognized the conduct of the Prussian regiment of which he is nominal proprietor; and adds that Russia reserves to hercelf the most absolute ab-solute freedom to act as her position requires in the interest of F.uropean equilibrium and of her own destiny. The commander of the third military circumspection has formally inteidicted the destribution of Herman newspapers news-papers through the mails.
