Paris, Sept. 13th. Gigantic preparations for defence are being made in Paris. 1,000,000 men are within the walls. As the Prussians approach, the enthusiain becomes intense. There are now no hopes of peace. The population will fight to the death. Strasbourg still holds out. Russia and Austria proposed an armistice of twelve days, to enable the parties to come to terms. Prussia declined all foreign interference. Volunteers to each side are pouring in from America and the Contiueut of Europe. A company has been formed in Newark, New Jersey, America, for the manufacture of rifles and needle-guns, which turns out 4,000 per day.
[The following items—important if correct —appear in our contemporary's extra of this morning. We imagine they are from a special despatch of the Presa Association: —] London, Sept. 12. There was a great demonstration in London, in favour of the French Republic, and against monarchs, at an open-air meeting in Hyde Park. Professor Beesly denounced the imbecility of the British Government, and charged the Queen with encouraging Prussia to destroy the Republic. The Queen's name was received with hisses, and three groans were given for the Prince of Wales. The aspect of the crowd was appalling, and the feeling against the Government and the Royal Family was very bitter in all ranks. The Times says that our foreign policy is dictated by the personal prejudices of the Queen and the interests of the family. Seditious placards have been posted on the walls of Buckingham Palace.
