Amerfean resident of Paris, is auth
orized to reject the offer of General
Sheridan and other Americans, who
were said to have been anxious to
servo in. the French army against
Prussia. It seems almost needless to
say that General Sheridan has offer
red to do no such a thing. Like all

A. Saratoga correspondent of the

gives this picture of the mends of
Saratoga, one of the fatuous summer
resOrts of this country:
"There are more than one hundred
'disreputable houses conducted openly
and more conducted slyly. Twell4
hundred "soiled doves"—soiled in
every degree—pursue their calling.
Pickpockets and thieves of nil kinds
ply t heir trade, and beggarly hives
:tors haunt the public walks. Panel
!liaises carry on a successful business,
several eases of robbery having occur
red within the past week. The ex
edlent police system at the hotels of
excludes all these characters.
The village police, however, is sin.
gularly ineffective, and the general
mismanagement of corporation af
. fairs has induced a general expreasien
of feeling for the recall of Mr. John
White to the presidency. This gen.
tleman is onoof the most wealthy and.
popular citizens of Saratoga. While
he was pmsident all such characters
were effectually banished."

The prolonged stay of headquar
ters, including the King and General
Moltke, at Berlin, shows confidence
that the Prussian ling cannot any
where be suddenly forced.
Later intelligence from the seat of
war leads to the belief that the Prus
sians will assume the offensive and
that the first great battle will be fought
on French soil. A collision hetween
the two armies cannot jie delayed
much longer, if it has not.aiready ta

Tut: readeN of newspapers In this

During our own troubles the French
Government was in sympathy with
the South, and went as far as It dared
to promote our disruption. It not
only threw its moral influence against
the Union during our struggle, but
sent Maximlllian 'to Mexico to found
an Empire thereto Imperil our Inter-,

erless' to prevent it. Prussia, on the
other hand, was with us in sympathy
from the beginning to the close of
the siruggle.- In 1801, while lion.
Joseph Wright, was representing the
'United States in Prussia he wrote 1114
'follows to Mr. Seward, our Secretary
of State: •

and ommeree, and will do all she
can, consistently with her obligations
to other governments, to sustain the

between this and Saariuuis. Forty
.men of the garrison of &menials and
some infantry weut out to meet them
and werewthlug up with them be

this plate, when a squadron of French
cavalry suddenly ntppeared. The
Prussians tired away as hard - as
they (mid at the cavalry with
needle guns and disposed of them be
-fore the. infantry, could come up.
Then. an. Infantry tight followed,
which' ended in the French throwing
oft their • kits and, running away, }
leaving one officer and 'eight men'
dead on the Held.. Three Prussian
soldiers wore , severely,- wounded.
According • to report, no less than
three French companies of infantry
were engaged. •
—That there was a nuts nacre of the
Christians in l'okin seems to be an

and claim much ofthe general atten

'RANCE AND GEllitAN.,
We receive such a prpffigioits mass
of dispatches from EttroO relative to
the i ranee German War that it Is
difficult to separate the wheat from
the chaff. Bola as we am make out
the French appear to be using these
foreign news dispatches to manufac
ture sentiment abroad fhvorable to
their own cause and unfavorable to
PniSSln. It seems to ho one univer
sal and king continued brag of what
Franco is doing, what she is going to
do, what she, expects to do, what she
feels sure of dding, and what no one
need calculate to prevent:, her doing.
It is an odd commentary MI this sort
of vaporing that, while the dispatches
are •filled with statements of the
preparations made alai Making by
the French to Invade Germny, and
it was even announced In the Corps
Legislatlf that aver must be declared
right off, to prevent Prussia being
allowed time to arm, there conies
along it quietelispatch :amount-leg
that the Prussians had destroyed all
railroad and telegraphic communica
tion with France, and that a Prussian
corps had marelesl into Lorraine, in
the direction of the great French
fortress of Metz. The French dis
patches try to make light of this, and
to treat it merely as a detachment
sent forward to-ilestrow the railroad,
which, nevertheless, would he highly
important, as it cuts off the French
(kitties for approaching the frontier,
and renders it more likely that' the
war will commence in France titan
in (Jemmy.
It - had been the calculation of
Napoleon, it is said, to get into
Rhenish Vrttaila in advance of the
Prussian prefarations,and commence
the war thereby tm :Meek on the
Prussian fortress of Mayence, and we
wereertreffilly hit formed by the French
dispatches that the French engineers
'had obtained ' , full plans of all the
German fortrotses proving the pre
meditated character of the war. The
i l l i i n h o lin of the
advance
11fSscllo is ntunhl 'cstty to
anticipate and prevent this invasion ;
and as Bisinitrck and Moltke 'seldom
undertake stlch movements without
ample preparations, it is not probable
Mint the advance toward Metz MN
merely a feeler. Indeed, the French
dispatches admit that the Prussians
will move upon Metz from two di
rections, one body by way of Thiele.
silk and the other by way of Kiel,
and that they will make a combined
and general attack upon the fortress.
This surprise to the French seems
to have been effected by the Prussian
corps nntrehing. through Rhenish
Bavaria, by the line of the Nancy and
Mannheim railroad, It seems that
Nopoleon had calculated on the
neutrality of Bavaria ; a most prepos
terous idea, as Bavaria was bound by
treaty to'follow the Prussian standard
in war. The French preparations
were made for crossing into Rhenish
Prussia, and Moltke takes the French
by surpriseby means of a flank march.,
We have previentAy pointed out how
'the possession of the South German
States by Prussia, enables Moltke to
dank the French °pentanes constant,
ly, and this movement upon' Metz
illustrates the force of our *okserva-
dons. From Mctz two railways
diverge into Germany, and if the
Prussian ears get to that point in
advance •of the French they can de
stroy these .line completely and
isolate Metz. lake French persevere
in operating along the line of the
Meselle, it will be netvisary for them
to save Metz and restore the railways,
and drive out the Prussians. 11',
however, they should wake a false
attack by the Moselle 'route, and
concentrate their strength to pierce
through the heat of ( termany by the
Strasbourg route, they could be cut
oW in two directions; iiNt, by the
obvious southernwtml march of the
Prussians along the Mus Ale, and
second, by a flank march on t he sent')

The haturlititthe French po.i don,
however, glvis the French common-
alas the advantage of interior lines,
so that, again our own civil war,
theirforeLN can be shifted from one
colutian to another UM necessity de
mands. This may be rendered nu
gatory by the magnitude of the
Prussian operations, and it would
certainly -be lost the moment the
Freud' should enter t;ertuany upon
any distinct and well defined line o f
invasion. :Should the I'russian:4 sue
teed in obtaining the initiative, and
invade France in three separate col
umns in 'great force, by exterior
lines, the Follett plan of eituipaign
would have to be rearranged entirely
to suit the defensive, which has ob
viously not thus far been contem
plated by Napoleon or his advisers.
The only way •by which Napoleon
could have prevented the flanking
operation's we have above pointed
out would have been to imitate the
strategy of Moltke, and invade tier
many in three strong columns, thus
oecupying the liermans on the whole
of the available lines of operation.
Ills only chance of success 1,4 to push
straight ahead for Berlin aas fast as
possible, and tight all the forces on
his route. If the war gods into
France he is Ink.
Wo must here call the attention to
a statementjust Made by the London
Times to the effect that the object of
war, on the part afros - silt, is to re
cover for Germany the provinces of
Alsace and Lorraine. We have al
luded to this before, but simply as a
remote contingeneyi for, In fuel'
France has held these provinces so
tong that nothing but the most'bu
initiating defeat wouid compel - her
to surrender them. The true aim of
the Prussians is, perhaps, not fairly
stated by the Times. The luission of
the French fur the Rhine boundary

Germany, that Bismarck tle,:ires to

lle wants to get clear of the everlast

Stant threat of French invasion. As
to the possibility of the Prussian tir

ly as that the French should reach

ed and everything will depend upon
the commagcling generals. We rain
hardly think that the war will be a
