One of the nest impailant clauses in the law ordering the construct! n ami repair off rliesses was that granting a sum of 1 tOjCOO.OOOf, for eiftistrncting a double fil eol ills nee around the capi tal. Although M. Thieis had raised a great war alarm ill 18 id, there was then no pr sped or probability of an enemy inarel.ing on l’aris. i lie fact was in his desire to have the lortific;- tions censtmcted arosefiom the atlitn !e j of the Parisians towards the gown j merit. Keptil lieans aid B nnpurtists had coalesced aga list the I'll lag dy nas ty. fn August of the same y< ar (1840) L' ldg Napoleon had tnarle It e nitempt at Hi ulegne and tin ngh lie faiad aid ' was captured, it was seen that he had the sympathy of the mats of the people. To fortify I’avis against the l’arismns was the real object of M. Tliicts, ami iio pressed the law with such vigor that on the 25th of June, 1841, it was pa si and by the Chambers. Singular as it tnay seen) Paris had never b cn regularly fortified. The Itcvnliilioiiary Directory had entevtainod some idea of having waits constructed, and nils qu l ntly Nnpeleen himself gave the siiLdect so ;iors consideration. *1 he vicli ry at Vidrry sand the Directory t e m-cssity < fdi ti ruling the capital, and the wars ol NapoVen well'all aggressive excepting in 1814 and IXIS. In both these years, m th" approach of the allied armies, de fensive works were lint r tally thrown np, but though they enabh '1 the dtlei dors to resist the progress of the enemy for a brief while they wcio entirely inade quate to the wants of the city. FI.AX OF THE Frr.THTCATI I.VS. Ti e plan agreed njvoii hy the commis sion is rv hat was ad-pled ly the gov ernment and carried oat.

Their fires sweeping each ether, it is necessary for an enemy to pass between them before he can attack lie inner walls, whose gnus also sweep the i pi ii space between the forts. TIIF tS'XKIt LINT. The inner line of works consists of a series of has!ions whieli present ninety four angular fronts Ihe line is rreg ular, through ti e 1! is ih; Vinci lines on the southwest. It is twenty two miles in circumference, and is probably tie longest Coritinnons line of bastiin.s ii woili.l. The wall, which forms a part o! the bastions, is also terraced and has an iscaipmerit if thirty-fur feet, faced with masonry. Each of the angular lo ci s(i bastions) has a medium lengt : of 1,100 feet. In front of the whole and entirely surrounding the city is aeon tinned fosse, or line of wot ditches, lined with masonry and of a depth < f cight"en fell by a width if twenty hot b roni the bottom of these ditches to the top ol the embAukincnts crowning t e wall- i a bight e»f about forty-five feet. The bastions will have mounted io them a average ol about ten gnu- each, w’ u h will make a t >tal ol 040 for ti.o ninety- four angular faces. Til's agrees with • '.l.e dispatches from Paris, which, report . 1,000 guns mounted on the ramparts since tiro battle of Woerth. About one i hamboil gates pierce the lampnrls, the ! ditches b ing covered by draw-bri ! ges, willch cun be removed ut a moment's I not ce or destroyed in two n inutes ly the cannon in the bastions. At diflernt points in the rear of the I'lie arc placed extensive magazines, well Supplied with aiiuintuou for the ar- : tillery, and amply protected fmm the shot of tlic enemy. Siucc the accession of Iciiis Napoleon these magn/.ini'K have been entirely remodelled, and are new alisnliilely iinprcgnahh' t > .shot, and shell.

In place of these routes there ; is a line of railiond directly in the tear 1 of the fortifications and around them, hy mr&ns of which troops can be thrown j from one pai t of the line to th" other with e real rapidity.
