German dispatches to-day are meagre,
but from them we gather that the military
situation is as follows: Tbe Twelfth Prus
sian Corps is now between Metz on Thiou
vi'.lo and servos to keep up communication
between Prince Frederick Charles and Stein
metz. The fortress of Metz is euclosed ou
all sides and communications between
Chalons and Paris are cut off. The head
quarters of the Crown Priuco ar e at Basle
Due.
McMahoo and Failey are still retreating
to' cover Poris.
London, August 23
The following dispatch has just been re
ceived from Alexandria: Tbe Prussian
frigate Ilorta, Carrying 23 guns, bas been
captured by the Frvucti. No particulars
given.
Herbert Bismarck, one of tbe sons of tbe
Prussian Prime Minister, was wounded in

Tbe Standard's correspondent is confident
Paris will be defended ereu if bombardment

The Post is authorized to deny tho letter

A letter from Baden, published here to.

An Alsace correspondent of tbe Dally

The war news in tbe Loudon morning
papers is meagre.
The bombardment of To'-il bas been com
menced. Tiie Emperor's headquarters are now at

McMahou's headquarters are at Conti

Paris, August 23.
Journals to-day s ly that a dispatch bas
beeu received here, from Baziiue iu which
the Marsha! declares bis intention of re
maining near Metz, without giving fuller
explanations. The dispatch admits that
Bazaine's communications were at 'one time
broken, but asserts tbey ate 'now se
cure. From all appearauces tbe
fust
bit ol
British America that "inevitable destiny"
is likely to annex to the United States, is
the region or tbe Red River or tin North,
though it must be confessed that the people
oflbe Dominion of Cunads are making rap
id strides towards representation in the
Senate aud llousn of Representatives at
Washington. Kiel's fiasco Is said to bave
terminated in an attempt at a . closer politi
cal union betweet tbe Red Pivvt country
aud the Dominion, but unlorlunately topo
graphy interferes witb that. By land and
water, by railroad, steamboat, forest trail
and bark canoe, it is lurtber from Ottawa
to Fort Garry, through British possessions
than it is from Washington, via the United
States, to Fort Garry. Not In actual dis
tance, maybe, but in time and iu facilities
for travel. To get around this difficulty
some entbuslastio Britons bave proposed to
build a railroad from Ottawa to the Red
River aud on througb British territory; lo
tbe Pacillc. Imagine a railroad through
tbe rough, wintry and almost teoantless
country north of Lake Superior. It would
certainly be tbe most wonderful acoieve
ment ol English engineering, for it would
be the most expensive work yot attempted
and would not need a station ofteuer than
every five hundred or one thousand miles.
Tbe fact is, there is only one avenue of
communication between tbe people of Riel's
late dominion aud tbe civilized world, and
that is via tbe United States aod
tne Red River valley. As wo said
above, topography Interferes witb Can
adian fchemos and Is tbe strongest ally of
American annexation.
