CAVSES OF THE FRESCII DEFEAT.
Letter from the Due de Peratgny.
A curious letter has been received by Mrs. V.
j Botta from the Due de Persigny, the autograph
: of which will be inserted in an album now pre
paring, to be said for the benefit of the French
sufferers by the war. We print below on English
translation:
London, May S, 1871 Our late disasters are
generally attributed to the superiority of the
Prussian army la numbers, discipline, and or
ganization. Without denying the influence of
these causes, and recognizing that cur military
tcience may be improved, this explanation does
cot eeem to be the true one.
i The French army has never possessed and
rever will posses the peculiar qualities which
, lave distinguished the Prussian army since the
time -of Frederick the Great. The French char
acter will never submit to that minute attention
to detail and that strict discipline which charac
terize our conquerors of to-day. And yet, in ;
spite of her defects, France has ever been, and
ever will be, a warlike nation of the first order.
She conquered the Prussians at Jena in spite of
tbeir superiority, and would have conquered
them again at Forbach and Woerth, but for one
of those extraordinary mistakes in strategy
which history at times reports, and which are
sufficient in themselves to explain the ruin of
nations, and the loss of empires,
t At the beginning of hostilities the two armies
were about equal in numbers. The Prussians,
in crossing our frontier, had not 5100,000 men,
and onr army nearly equalled their effective
force. But instead of concentrating on one
point, or at lease en two in Alsace and Lor
raine it was distributed in carps of about 80,000
cen each over a line extending more than
eighty leagues; so that the Prussians, encoun
tering only isolated and comparatively weak
bodies, overwhelmed them with superior num
bers. To understand fully the fatal influence of that
l first error on the Issues of the war itself, one
must take into accauot the nervous and sensl
. tive nature of the Gallic race. Three centuries
ago it was said by Machiavelll that at the suc
cessful opening ef a battle the French were more
than men, and In a reverse less than women.
However exaggerated this formula may be, it Is
certain that the French, when victorious, seem
gifted with extraordinary powers. They obey
their chiefs, bear cheerfully all privations, and
make up by their intelligence and spirit for any
deficiencies of organization.
If, on the contrary, they are defeated, with
that mobility peculiar to the Celtic race, they
are too much inclined to accuse their officers
of incapacity and treachery, to cease to obey
them, and the relaxation of discipline soon in
volves military disorder.
The principal condition of success then
would be victory at the outset, which calls forth
that fwa franceee which for two thousand
years hat never failed us.
ye. Now th question is: Have our soldiers degen
erated; have they lost that valor and Intrepidity
which butjately led them to triumph over the
Russians at Malakoff and the Austrlans at Sol
ferino? No! a thousand times no!
In order to understand the condition of our
army before the demoralizing causes had af
fected It, let ns judge it from the first battle,
that of Wlsseinbourg.
Here was a division taken at random, a small
corps of observation consisting of from seven
to eight thousand men.
The commander, General Douay, in case of
an attack by a superior force, was to fall back
on the corps of MacMahon. But the General
being killed at the beginning ef the engagement,
his division found itself face to face with an
army of one hundred and twenty to one hun
dred and forty thousand men.
It fought; however, a whole day with energy
and perseverance. The Crown Prince of Prus
sia was unable to conceal his admiration for
that handful of brave men,, and admitted in his
official report that he lost on this occasion eight
thousand men in killed and wounded. This
lrom a single division of seven or eight thou
sand men ! Every allowance being made for
time and circumstances, there was never a
nobler deed of arms.
Suppose now that with such soldiers, instead
of those Isolated corps having no connecting
link and but one distinct command, Marshal
MacMahon had held under his hand the corps
of the Army of Alsace, and Marshal Bazalue
those of Lorraine; in other words, that the
Crown Prince of Prussia and Prince Frederick
Charles, instead of dealing with fragments of
the army, had each of them encountered a real
army comprised of such soldiers as fought at
Wissembourg, would the result have been the
lamer
This first enormous strategical error is then,
in my opinion, the true cause of our disasters.
That error, I hasten to say, can be explained by
unforeseen circumstances, independent of any
will; and far be it from me to throw additional
blame on the august and unfortunate victim who
has borne the weight ot It.
I wish only to assert that our soldiers bad
not degenerated from their ancient valor; that
our army was as brave as any of those that have
heretofore astonished the world, and that with
out the fatality that caused it to be surprised In
, place, it would have repeated the marvels of
Aatterlitz and Jena,

THE HALL ARCTIC EXPEDITION.
Preparation for Its Departure.
. The Polaris is almost ready to sail, and many
of the stores for the voyage are being placed on
board. Captain Hall is here superintending the
arrangements in person. A great deal of satis
faction is expressed by those interested in the
expedition at the thorough manner in which all
the preparations for the exploration have been
Dade, which is due to the liberal aenroorlation
of 100,000 made by Congress. The vessel sails
from here It i expected by Captain Hall, next
Saturday for New York, andbe intends to start on
bis voyage from New York two weeks later. The
surgeon-naturalist who takes the dace in tha
company that Dr. Walker resigned, it Dr. Emll
Bessela, of Heidelberg, Germany, who weut to
Spitsbergen and Nova Zembla with the Swedish
Arctic Expedition. A young man from the ob
servatory of Ann Arbor, Miehigan, will go as
astronomer, and as meteorologist an officer from
the storm Signal Corps of the War Department,
it is understood, will be detailed. This exnedi
tlon starts nnder bettor auspices, on account of
more perfect equipment and advantages gained
from past experience, than any expeditlcn
for Arctic exploration ever before
fitted out, and Captain Hal and
bis associates are tnoet hopeful of
achieving satisfactory results. Mr. Morton,
who la third officer, aid who is the only living
explorer who ever saw the open Polar Sea, has
the otmast confidence that the Polaris will find
a route by which to enter it. A number of large
planks for sledges are among the things on
board. Captain Hall says he has to have the
natives make his sledges, sinoe they can do it
much better than white men. A neat little
cabin, handsomely carpeted, is fitted up, and a
cabinet organ is now in it, which a manufac
turer bat presented, and which will be taken
along, if room can be spared, for amusement In
the long winter nights. Captain Hall will re
main here till the vessel starts for New York,
and then be will proceed there by rail. Wasti

Tweed Splendors of the Reception The
Trousseau Expensive Gift.
At 7 o'clock last evening Miss Mary Amelia
Tweed, daughter of Wm. Marcy Tweed, of New
York, was married to Arthur Ambrose Maginnis,
of New Orleans. The wedding was a most ex
pensive affair. The ceremony took plaee at
Trinity Chapel, which was crowded, long before
the aj pointed hour, with a richly-dressed audi
ence, who awaited in speechless expectation
the advent of the bridal party. When at length
it appeared, the whole audience rose and leaned
over to catch a sight of the bridal magnificence.
The bride is a young lady of twenty-one years.
The bridegroom, who it a widower of twenty
five, Was supported by Messrs. Dick and Frank
Tweed as groomsmen.
The bridesmaids were Miss Josie Tweed, a
sister of the bride, and Miss Maglnnis, the sis
ter of the groom. The marriace service was
performed by Rev. Joseph II. Price, D. D. After
the ceremony was concluded the bridal partr
drove at once to Mr. Tweed's palatial mansion,
corner of Forty-third street and Fifth avenue,
whither they were soon followed by the not
ables who were present at the seremony, and
such of the undistinguished as had been hon
ored with Invitations to the grand reception.
Among the guests were Commissioner Henry
Smith, Sheriff Brennan, Controller Connollv,
Superintendent Kelso, Commissioner John T.

functionaries were accompanied by their wives
or daughters in magnificent apparel.
ine presents were a cniei centre or attraction
to the guests. They filled an entire room when
crowded close, ihere were forty silver sets,
any one of which would have attracted a crowd
if placed in a jeweller's window, and one single
onecontainea separate pieces. Mr. James
Fiek, Jr., Bent a frosted silver contrivance repre
senting an iceDerg, evidently intended to hold
Ice-cream or some equally frigid substance. The
association was beautifully sustained by the
Presence of Arctic bears reposibg on the icicle
andles of the bowl and climbing up the spoons.
Singularly enough, Mr. Fisk displayed the same
taste as Superintendent Kelso, and their offer
ings were exact duplicates. Among the names
on the silver were Shandley, Norton, Witthans,
larnocnan, juaginnis, ana many others.
mere were iorty pieces ot jewelry, ot which
fifteen were diamond sets. A single one of the
latter is known to have cost $45,000. It con
tained diamonds as big as filberts. A cross of
eleven diamonds, pea size, bore the name of Mr.
and Mrs. II. w. Genet as donors. A pin of sixty
diamonds, representing a sickle and sheaves ef
wheat, was the gift of J. H. Ingersoll. Peter ii.
Sweeny's card appeared on diamond bracelets
of fabulous magnificence. Cornelius Corson
