Dispatches From Emin Pasha.

Paris, Dec. 15.-Private dispatches are received from Africa, which state that Emin Pasha had several bloody conflicts in the lake districts, and that his position is precarious. Those advices, however, do not agree with reports from other sources regarding the movements of Emin, which stated Emin was received with the greatest enthusiasm by the troops who had served under him when he was governor of the equatorial province. It is said further when the news of Emin's movements reached Uganda, a British officer with 1000 troops, started to oppose his further advance. It may be this force came in conflict with Emin's soldiers, and it is to these engagements the Paris dispatch refers.
