THE SITUATION. Bazaine (111 Hemmed In nt Metz The re taaeaient at Pteuay The Urand Advance en Varlo Tbe icene of Operations. Tbe despatches which we published in our later editions yesterday afternoon, and those which came to band last night, throw a little light on the present situation. Neither Mac Mahon nor Bazaine, it would seem, are in com munication with Paris, and their exact where abouts and movements are still involved in uncertainty, but there is no doubt that Bazaine la still bemmed in near Metz. Tho New York World even has a special to tbe effect that his capitulation is anticipated, as bis troops are in danger of starvation. There are indications that at the battle of Gravelotte, on tbe 18th, Marshal Canrobert, at the head of one or two .divisions, got separated from the main body of Bazalne'e force by the interposition of Prince Frederick Charles' army, and escaped by way of Longuyon to the neighborhood of Montmedy. This Is probably tbe force about which we heard so much a few days ago, and which was converted, by the active imagination of French partisans, into the whole of Bazaine's army. It is also evident that there was a considerable engagement on Thursday of thU in tht n&iirbborhood of Stenav. which ') Is on tbe direct line from Montmedy to Von ll -tnwn -IA nllni IV S TV nf Unntmalii in.1 Or. miles N. N. W. of Verdun. The only reports thus far received give the victory to the Prus sians. Tbe French force engaged Is probably that which escaped from Gravelotte under Canrobert, making an effort to effect a j uuction with MacMabon's army. The advance of tbe Crown Prince on Paris still progresses, slowly but surely, and yester day tbe Senate and Corps Legislatif enjoyed tbe consolation of being warned of tbe danger by tbe Ministry. It is stated from Berlin that one corps only of tbe Prussian army has been left to bold Basoine in check, while the re mainder bas been pushed forward to Join the I Crown Prince in his advance on tbe capital. A I I fourth grand army corps is also being formed to co-operate under tho Prince Royal of Saxony in tbe movement against Paris. Tbe reports from tbe French capital confirm these advices by stating that a considerable por tion of tbe Prussian army which participated in tbe battles near Metz last week bas started for Paris, and that it will require but six days at the outside for the Invaders to reach that city, If there is no change In their plans. The cavalry advance Is already reported near Chateau-Thierry, whrch is but forty-five miles in a straight line from Paris to the . N. E. Altogether, eiht departments are reported from Paris as being in the possession of the Prussians, embracing the territory from a point fifty miles east of Paris to the Belgian, Prus sian, and Bavarian borders, with a population of about 3,600,000 souls. We present below an outline map, giving tbe relative locations of the cities and towns which bave already figured and are likely to figure in tbe grand Prussian advance on the French capital. By way of explanation, It is necessary to state that tbe Moselle takes Metz, Pont-a-Mousson, and Toul in its course; and that the Meuse flows I past Verdun, St. Mibiel, and Commercy. Tbe main line of railroad runs through Meaux, Cha V teau-Thlerry, Epernay, Chalons, VUry-le- l Francals, Bar-le-Duc, Commercy, Toul, tand hancy, and thence cast towards VIStrasburg. Between Nancy and Toul, a line ,'etartfl to the north, following the course of the Moselle, through Pont-a-Mousson and Metz, to jTbionville, and thence iuto the neutral territory AOl Luxemburg. Just west of St. Dizler another line branches off to the south, passing through that place and Jolnvillo. At Epernay another line starts towards the north, and pass ing through Kbeims, tends northeast to Me' ileree. Rbelms is also connected by a direct line with Paris, passing through Bolssons, which L . Is twentv-five miles north of Chatftftn-Thlerrv. v8 till another railroad line leave Paris, running y 'M first In a southeast direction through Meluu 1 to Fontainebleau, thence eaBt through Mou te ll reau, Nogent, and Mery, and thence southeast gala to Iroyes, seventeen miles distant, be ond which point it connects with the railroad hrough St. Dizler and Jolnvllle and the grand etwork in the southeastern part of France. Another railroad . also starts out from Paris, striking the main southeast line near Lougucy, with branches toFontenay and Provins. The Marne lollop the general course of the main central line men Uoned as far as Vitry-le-Francals, where it strikes off towards St. Dizler and thence follows the line through Jolnvllle. Tbe reader can easily trace tbe course of tbe rivers and railroads mentioned a'joye witfi a Jeafl pencil, sad then be will bave before bim an Impromptu map which will enable bim to grasp tbe situation at a glance.

Kinglake, in his history of the Crimean war, writes as follows of the French as a military people: The French are so military a people that, when a great national sentiment is once aroused, the very children are ready to seize their little muskets and fa'l Into columns of companies: but. In the menu time, and until tbe mighty nation is challenged, the great bulk of the French peasantry are perhaps more homelr, more rustic, moro uu adventurous than most of the people of Kurope. From these quiet millions of people many tens of thousands of small, sad, harmless-looking young men are every year torn by the conscription, and Immense energy energy informed with the traditions of an ancient and ever warlike nation is brought to bear upon the object of turning these forlorn young captives Into able soldiers. All that Instruction can achieve Is care fully done ; but the enforced change from rural life to the life of barracks and camps seems not to be favorable to the animal spirits of tko men: for although, when seen In masses or groups working hard at their military duties, they always appear to be brink and almost merry, their seeming auimation Is the result of smart orders the animation of a home when the rowels on either side are lightly touching bis flanks; and during the hours whilst they are left to themselves, the French soldiers of the line engaged In campaigning are commonly ile- f tressed aud spiritless. Of course this waut of ustlncss In the French army is superbly masked by all the resources of military pomp and althe outward signs which seem to show the pre sence of vigor, despatch, and warlike ardor; out the material of which the line regiments are composed must always keep a good deal of Its original nature, nd whoever glances at the rising stepa of French c Ulcers successful in Africa will find that they have climbed to eminence, not by leading troops of tin line, but by obtaining, in the critical part of their career, the command of choice Kronen regiments, or, falling that, the command of troops of foreign race. These choice French regiments are not com posed of materials at all like those which supply the line. On the contrary, they number in their ranks many thousands of bold, adventurous men, who take service in the army of their own accord, and It Is iu these choice regiments that France sees the true expression ol her warlike nature. Of all these choire regiments the "Zouaves" are the most famous; and each of the three foremost divisions of the French army on the Alma had in it a regiment a regiment with its two war battalions belonging to the corps of the Zouaves. What the spear-head Is to the spear, that Its Zouave regiment was to each of these throe divisions. THE RIVAL RAILWAY SYSTEMS. The Freneh and Uerwaa Hallway Systems Brought lute I'aela the War Muperlorlty of iheUtrnai Network. The Army and A'acy Journal of to-day has the following interesting article on the two rail way systems which have been brought into such active use by tbe exigencies of the present war: Added to the stories of military reverses come others which tell of a faulty condition of the French transport service and commissariat department. It is dliticult to believe tout the machine of which Marshal Nlel was the Inventor can be so badly con etructed. However that may be, it is certain that the Germans possess certain advantages In the mut ter of railway transport which are not due cither to tbe admirable system which they have matured, nor to the skill gained In two wars which -were models la this respect. That part of the German railway system which has come into use la this war Is accustomed to a much heavier business thau the corresponding French roads, ureat as Is the travel ' upon the lines which extend from 1'arls to liar- itUies, JBJ8Purg , and Luxemburg, tney we by no means eqnal, road for road, to the Immense business of the railroads of the Khlne in certain seasons. From Germany to France the Belgian route Is preferred to the Luxemburg way. From Eng land to Switzerland the Rhine scenery offers attrac tions which the Marseilles road does not. Replace each exenr-tontst on the Rhine any summer's day by a lolaier; load the freight trains with horses, provisions, and forage, and an array would be trans ported without disturbing the regular service of the rosd. The double service by land and water, too, is Immensely advantageous. Troops which transfer themselves at points of junction can be sent by water to the frontier, through lines reserved for the transport of material. The policy of the Prus sian Government towards tbe other States of the Bund has, however, not been very favorable to the preparation or the South German railways for use in war. One condition of the union Is that all railways Shall be under the direction of the central govern ment at Berlin, and care has been taken to have all the through routes lie In Prussian territory. A tra veller at Dresden sees Paris far to the west, and a degree and a half to the south of bim ; but to reach the capital of France by the southern route, via Hof and Mavrnce, will keep him three days on the wsy. By going north a degree and a hal', via Hano ver and Cologne, he can make the Journey in thirty hours. The roads leading to Belgium, therefore, have the advantage of pos sessing the largest amount of running stock, and also of experience in conducting an Immense business. Still, the management of all German roads Is admirably systematic, thongh the trains run very slowly. Accounts from Kurope show that in time of war the maxim "slow and sure" Is not adhered to. The speed of the trains Is in creased, and we are told of accidents In consequence of the hurry, a state of things which, however sad to the sufferers, is comforting to the Americans, as It shows that the frequency of rabway accidents with ns Is to be explained neither by climatic con siderations nor national temperament; but that if we ran slower we might occasionally save one of the tralnfuls of lives we now throw away. TIIE DOWNFALL OF OLLIVIER. A Spirited A recant of the Scene n the Corps 1eglnlalir oa the bib, of Annum. Events have already almost swept the name of Ollivier into oblivion, but this brief record of a scene in the Corps Legislatif, which preceded his fall, is of interest. It is translated from Le llappel: "M. Schneider reads the decree convoking the Chambers for an extraordinary session : 'Napoleon, by the grace of God and the will of the French.' (A prolonged murmur interrupts the amazed Presi dent.) He recovers himself, crosses his arms, apos trophizes the Left, declares that he will do his duty at any hazard, and continues the reading of the decree, but, uniting prudence with digulcv, omits the signature 'Kugenie. Where Is our Krcile Ollivier of the great days, disdainful, imper tinent, with his contemptuous smile and raised glasses? We saw an ilmlle Ollivier melancholy, humble, contrite, with a weeping voice and the air of a moityr. He reads an oiltclal declaration, stops before tbe Interruptions, does not care to answer them, however, lowers his glasses till the storm is past, and then continues in a monotonous and re Bigntd voice. ''They aid not wish, he said, to wait to have the country compromised before they convoked the Chamber. tLoud Interruption.) lie praises the heroism of the army. (Enthusiastic cheers from all sides and from tbe tribunes, the deputies rising to tncir legs and snouting ' vtve l armeti') lie asks the Cbambtrto aid tbe Government in supporting the national movement. (Vehement interruption 'Kverj tbig without you ; nothing with you.1) The Minister concluded with an expressive threat against what he called the 'minority of the country.' But he smothered this Insulting challenge with a voice so mild and so piteous that It was suffered to puss without lute rruption. M. B. Ollivier added that the time for him to bo silent was come; that the Chamber could dismiss the cabinet if It desired, and if it wished to recall it, it had only to say so. Tho Garde des 8ceaux quits the tribune amid a distress ing silence. No one cheered, no ono shook his nanu." ANOTHER SECRET TREATY. More of the Protect of Napeteoo to Push hie uouBuaneo to tne tcuiae. The Cologne Gazette publishes, Under head of "further revelations," the following documents (alluded to already by the cable), which it asserts it has received from a trustworthy source: I am in a position to forward to yon, pledging myself for their authenticity, tho text of two docu ments which have not yet seen the light, and which Count Iicnedetti had probably forgotten when lie drew np the famous account In which he repre sented himself as writing to the dictation of Count Bismarck. I send you the original text, in French, of those documents. In the handwriting of Count Benedettl to Count BUmarck : I. Copy, 4861 Private. Mr Dear President : In reply to the corainqoicatlona I sent from KicholsonbtirK to Paris, in oODuenue of our conversation on the2tilQ of last month, I have re ceived from Vichy tbe projeot of a secret convention, a copy of which you will find aceompanyiog this. I hasten to bring this to your knowledge that you may examine it at your leisure. I am, moi eover, at your command to di cuss tbe matter with you whenever you may consider tbe time convenient for doing so. Entirely yours, , . ... BKNKDETTI. Sunday, August o, 186& With this note was enclosed tbe following pro position for a secret treat, also in the handwrit ing of M. Benedetti, which has been preserved in the archives of the North German Condera tion : II. Bis Majesty, etc. His Majeety, eto. Article 1. The French Kmplre resumes possession of those portions of territory which, now belonging to Piusnia, were comprised within tbe boundaries of France in 1K14. Article 2. Prussia engages to obtain from the Kins of Bavaria and the lirmnd Duke of Hesse, npon the under standing that compensations are to be provided for thiwe rriucos, me cession oi rue portions ot territory whioh they now possess on tbe left bank of the Kuiue, and to transfer tneirpoMHasin to France. Articles. All the provisions connecting with the Ger man Confederation the territories placed nnder the sove reignly of the King of the Low Oountriea, as well as all those relating to tae right of garrisoning the fortress of Luxemburg, are annulled. Can It now be maintained, comparing these two dotumtu's with imaginary accounts given by MM. Benedetti and Ollivier, that they were written from pnre good nature at the dictatiou of Count Bis marck? There Is also auother question. Was the document which was sent from Vichy prepared without the Kmperor's knowledge? Ttwre is yet another question. Had the French Ambassador any particular reasons for Invltiug the Prussian Minister to examine 'at his leisure' proposi tions of Prussian origin ? Let M. Olli vier, then, agaiu assemble the seventy representatives of the press and prove to them that everything has been done In good faith, that Prussia has beeu unfortunate with her offers, and that France has been Imperturbable with her refusals. However, this Is really what did occur: Oa the evttirg of '.be 3d or 4th of August, M. Benedettl sought to extract from Count lllsmarck a formal promise of the above-mentioned concessions, ad ting that If they were refused, then there would bo war, M. Blmarck replied : ' Well, theu, it is war." lie, however, added that he oonld not believe that France really seriously Intended tnat threat, or that it desired to enforce by violence such an Impos sible demand. M. Benedettl's reply was that he was on the Kint of setting out for Paris, aud that far from ottering the Emperor contrary advice ho should recommend him rather to persist in his de mands, as above ail things it was necessary to pre serve his dynasty. That dyuasty, he added, would be lost If he did not obtaiu the compensation he demanded. Thus the present war Is but the final accomplishment of a fixed ilea which Is purely due to the Empire, and partly due the French people themselves. WHERE lSKAfOLEOX I A HtrlklDK Proof of the Power of tbe French Olrrrt.ry. The New York Tribune comments editorially as follows upon a point which cannot have escaped tbe attention of our readers: Tbe most striking and ominous proof of the extra ordinary power of the Directory which has yet beeu given, appears In a despatch from Paris which an nounces that the Council of Ministers, or Directory, has appointed General Wlmpfen to the oommanl of an army corps, iu place of General Falliy. It appears by this that the Directory hat begun to exerciso the very highest functions of the Kuiperor, la appoint ing commanders for the army. Could Mapoloou ever delegate tbe supreme ptwer lu this way ? Could he delegate it to a body of men which derives its authority from the Legislature, aud which contains among Us members such politicians as Thiers, aud such soldiers as Trochu ? it is the most startling Incident that has yet taken place during the revolutionary crisis in Paris, in the meantime, where Is Louis Napoleon ? Why this disappearance In such times as these ? It Is hard to ssy ; but still we tlo not believe bat be Is dead. TIIE CROWN PRISCE INTERVIEWED. French Newpapr CorreaponrfeetM at their V or it-'J he frlaee on tae Mottle of Woerth. Among tbe French who fell into the bands of tbe Prussians after the battleof Woerth were two correspondents of the Farls press, M. Ilenrl Cbabrillart, of the Figaro, and M. Cordon, of tbe Gaulois. Each of these gentlemen bos pub lished an account ef his adventures. At Soulz they were brought into the presence of the Crown Frincc, and the Interview is thus des cribed by M. Cbabrillart: 1 confess I am very much embarrassed. If I draw a flattering portrait of the Prlnoe, It will be saM that I am sold to the Prussians ; ti I draw an on favorable picture of him, to gratify any malevolent fasslon, I shall be guilty or Injustice and falsehood am a reporter, which means a kind of photographer. I shall therefore simply and truly state what I saw. and what was said. Those who may be dissatisiied with my account, must deal with the Prince them selves. It ia not my fault that be is human. Would to Heaven that all Germans were like him: but, unfortunately, it is not so. Prince Frederic William, heir to the crown of Prussia, Is a man of tall stature, thin, with a calm and placid countenance ; I Hit In tho curve of his aquiline nose and dilating nostrils there are evidences of energy, while the rapidity of his glance convinces you of his decision. A full, fair beard softens the somewhat stern expression of bis features. Ile has great simplicity of manner, and airects rather a kind of bourgeois style of speak ing, thinking, and general behavior. He was dressed in a black tunic with red collar and facings, withont any embroidery or gold braid, npoit the shoulder a small epaulet to Indicate his rank, bnt no other distinguishing ornament. He wore a small black cap bordered with red, and the whole uniform was severely simple. He speaks French with great purity, without foreign accent, beyond a slight German Intonation and occasional hesitation at certain words. "Do you speak German, sir?" said be to me. "?Jo, Prince, not snnlc!ently.,, "I am sorry for It, as otherwise yoa would have heard in what manner our troops speak of yours, and in what esteem they bold them." "I thank you very much for that opinion." "Oh, it Is quite deserved. We have all admired the tenacity and the oourage which have been evinced by even the humblest of your soldiers." Then, with much delicate consideration, and al most makiDg excuses for mentioning the facts to us, he told us that they had taken between 8000 ami 4000 prisoners, thirty guns, six mitrailleuses, an I two eagles. "Among the prisoners," said he, "Is General Raoult. 1 went this morning to see him at Rclchs hofen, where he lies wounded, his hip aud thigh being broken; I fear tnat be is now dying. He Is a brave officer, and he has given me some addresses In Paris to which be wishes letters to be sent." "But, Prince," I observed, "the otner prisoners also have families." "I have thought of that. I have had them sop plied with writing materials; the letters will bo sunt unsealed to our Consul at Geneva, who will for ward them to France." "Prince, we tnank you on behalf of the mothers whose grief you are about to assuage." "1 do not like war, gentlemen. If I should reign I would never make It. Now, despite my iove of peace, this is the third campaign that I have beeu compelled to make. I went over the battl Mleld yes terday. It was frightful. If it only depended upou myself this war would end here. It is your Miuisters and the Kmpsror who would have It, it was not me who wanted it. And yet the Emperor has been very good to me and very kind to my wife. The last time that I saw him was at the Tuileries on the 11th of January, when he said tome, 'You know that I have found a new Minister.' That was this M. Ollivier, who now makes this war against ns." "It is terrible, Indeed ; and I think your artillery is very formidable." "No, Bir, Is is not superior to yours, bnt we make different nse of It from what you do, placing it more freely with the advanced posts. Your aim is very good too good, indeed, for we have lost, I think, more men than yon have. I have regiments which bave lost twenty-nino or thirty otneers. nut we have taken prisoners, aud that restores our ad vftntftjCe "An enormous advantage, for you know well what you had before you yesterday." "Nearly forty thousand men, the corps of Marshal MacMahon and a division of the 7th Corps. I dl I not Intend to attack, wishing ouly to make a reuon- noisance In ron, but one Is not always able to put an ena to a ngnt wnen once it naa jegun tc was fortunate for us, on the whole, as he would doubt less have received reinforcements, and we sltould bave had still harder work next day." "Prince, it seems to me that yon are very well informed concerning onr army." "One must be so,': said he, smiling. "But," said I, wilfully committing an error, ' it was your entire army which was engaged, 250,000 men at least." "Not so many 180,000 men. They all fonght well ; but If the Bavarians had marched as well as our men, we should bave had it all over by noon Instead of fighting until after 6 o'clock. I should not give battle to your army unless I was superior In number otherwise I would prefer to retire." "You bave one great advantage, Prince, in the precision of the movement of your troops. From tbe tower of Woerth we admired, though with the grief caused by witnessing your success, tho two flanking movements which you effected upon our position." "The hills of Frelshweller are real fortlfi nations, and I did not care to attack them directly. By turn ing them I lost fewer men." "We are very mueh obliged. Prince, for the few minutes you bave been pleased to devote to us, but we do not see with you the Duke of Coburg, whom terday, and, notwithstanding his many anxieties, he has not forgotten the promise which be made to speak to you abont us." "I will perform your commission." "We now ask that we may be taken bock to, the advanced dobm." "I see no objection ;" and then, having courteously saluted us, ae wunarew. j NAPOLEON'S LAST.

In spite of the oiders given by the commanders of the enemy's army, the Prussian invasion of IK 70 surpasses in horror the recollections of that of 1814, At the War Department accounts are reoeived from all sides of pillage, devas tation, and of summary executions, caused by the resistance of peasants to tbe invasion of their homes. The Prussians concede to them no rights of defense. The Uhlans, above all, commit depredations only worthy the Cossacks of other days. The Kinperor.
