LIGHT AT LAST:
At last, we have some definite information
concerning the movements and operations of
that independent army of the Prussian Crown
Prince , Which has ,been lost to view for several
days Fast. Reports yesterday declared that the
camp at Chalons had been destroyed by the
Frendb, and that the troops there, under Mar
shal .MacMahon, had withdrawn to the north
wein- the direction of Rheims. The conjec
tures,provoked by this story were various. It
was thought by some that MacMahon had de
tetmined to try to - reach 'Bazaine at Metz ; by
others that he intended to march down upon
thellank of Geteral Steinmetz, and by others
win that his design was to operate in some
mysterious way against the Crown Prince. Our
own despatches, received this morning, show
that the camp at Chalons was abandoned and
burned because it was threatened by the Crown
Prince. , His army prepared to attack
the French position, and .MacMahon,
conscious - of --its weakness, of- the - de
moralization, inefficiency and want of dis
cipline among his own troops, and of the
splendid character of the Prussian force, con
cluded not to risk a battle. Accordingly lie
abandoned the position, which we believe was
not particularly strong, and destroying the
material of the camp, withdrew to Rheims and
the vicinity. This movement has all the
virtue of a victory for the Prussians. It de
monstrates the weakness of MacMahon, and
- proves - tirat - there - is - not - at - Paris a force-of-dis
ciplined men so large that any could be spared
to reinforce him. It opens to the Prussians all
- the direct - roads' to - Paris, - and - gives - them - com- -
plete contra of the whole country, with all its
splendid positions, between Chalons and the
Marne, and the line of the Moselle, where the
main body of the Prussians is now situated.
The Prussians, indeed, control all the railroads
—and-highways-from-Chalons to the -Rhine, and
they will have no.difFiculty whatever in bring
ing up supplies and reinforcements in any
quantity. We doubt _ not-. the army is
being increased now with reserves brought
over these routes. The evacuation of Chalons,
too, must have a demoralizing effect upon the
French troops, and it will dishearten the peo
ple, of Paris, for it was confidently believed
- McMahon would make a stand east of the
Marne, and engage the advanbing enemy. The
Crown Prince has made good his strategic vic
tory by entering the abandoned camp and going
beyond it towards Rheims. lie . can do this
safely, it appears, for he has no enemy in his
rear ; he can easily keep open his communica
tions with the army before Metz, and he has
with him a splendid force, variously estimated
at from 130,000 to 180,000 men,which is strong
enough to act with complete independence.
We believe the Crown Prince will follow Mac
Mahoninstead of venturing on to Paris and
leaving this French force upon his rear and
flank. If MacMahon can be kept iu an isola
lated position, away from Bazaine, and au en
gagement can be provoked without the possi
bility of reinforcement of the French force, i t
is nearly certain that the Prussians will beat
liaellahon again, as they did at Wissenabourg.
MacMahon's retreat indicates that he has no
faith in his army, and is afraid of such a re
sult. He appears to desire to avoid an engage
ment.
Meantime we are inclined to believe that
Bazaine, after all, really is firmly held by the
Prussians in the vicinity, of Metz, that he.can- .
not escape, and that the story of his having an
open avenue of communication by way of
Thionville is false. It may be that a portion of
his force has got away, as some reports assert,
but the hopeless imprisonment of the main
body of the army may be regarded as nearly
certain, If he can be kept in such a position
while the Crown Prince operates against Mac-
Mahon, and a large reserve force is brought up
to reinforce the Prussians, disaster and ruin
are inevitable. The Prussians can overwhelm
-MacMahon and his militia,-and march -on- to.
Paris, where there may be hard fighting. But
it is doubtful if the civilians who man the
fortifications of the city can accomplish much
while they have such a powerful enemy to con
tend with, and while the flower of their army
• lies helpless far away at Metz. The news of
this morning preSents toe situation in a new
.aspect, and, we are glad to say, that IL is
full of promise for the success of the Prussian
arms.
1111.1 E !SITUATION.
We gather from the Inquirer and other
Philadelphia dependents' upon the New York
fifirsociated Press the following interesting facts
with regard to the Franco-Prussian situation :
" MacMahon is still at Chalons."
"NlacMahon left Chalons, after burning
the .e.a.tnp, for Rhein's."
" 9iacM anon is strongly posted in the plains
before Chalons."
"Obbeurity still surrounds MacMahon's
m(weznents.
" M =Mahon and Bazaine are now ready to
asstune the oilengve."
.13a.zaine's position is unchanged."
" Macnahon has not gone to reinforce Be
zaine."
"Metz Ls entirely isolatect."
" MaeMahon and Ihtzaine are in daily com
munication."
"Bazaine is still at Metz."
"Bazaine is shut up in the Prussian netl)e
tween Metz, Grand Lange, and tle road from
Metz to Etain."
Now If anybody who - reads the Sew York
Associated Press papers fails to recognize what.
the Inquirer eqlls
_"!a - marvel of j•Jurnalistic
skill, enterprise and liberality unsurpassed in
the history of journalism„" what more can be
done
THE NAVY DEPARICBIENT AND AD
MIRAL 'PORTER.
, Mr. W. H. Allyn, 'Chief Clerk of the Bureau
of Steam Engitieeting in the Navy Department,
was dischargea some time ago by. Chief En
gineer King, the head of the. Bureau. Mr.
Allyn has taken his revenge in the shape of a
letter, in which he accuses Chief Engineei
King of a very serious attempt to defraud the
goiernMent. Of the clarlieter — of the e.tternprit—
is not necessary to speak at length ; it will suf
fice to say that it is alleged to have been made
in connivance with the, Corliss Steam Engine
Company of Providence, Rhode Islandwid it
involved the sum of $140,000. The special fact
of which we wish to speak is that this let
ter of Allyn's instead of being addiessed to
the Secretary of the Navy, as it should have
been, involving as it does a charge of ras
cality against one' of his subordinates, is
written to Vice Admiral .Porter. Worse than
this, the document contains- some very inde
cent insinuations • against the Secretary and a
plain intimation that, in the opinion of the
writer, Admiral Porter is the only functionary
in the Department with whom an intelligent
man will think it worth while to transact busi
ness. As the letter is addressed to the Admiral
we have the right to suppose that it was given
the public press with his permission, and if this
is true, he is guilty of an act of grave dis
courtesy to his superior, Secretary Robeson.
In any event the tone of the document indi
cates plainly. that Admiral Porter is regarded in
the - Department as the virtual head of the
Navy ; that Mr. -Robeson is looked upon as
merely ornamental, and that he does not ,
in
spire that respect to which he is entitled by his
position, his talents and his high personal
qualities.
As in this letter so in everything else apper
taining to the business of the Department the
figure of Admiral Porter has appeared lately
until the enemies of the administration and of
the Secretary have made the matter a subject,
for ridicule, and the friends of both have won
dered why Porter was permitted to exercise lit'
such an autocratic manner duthOrity Which
does not belong to him. He has no legal po
sition in the 'Department ; he has no right to
perform any of the functions belonging to
any office in the Department, and his assump
tion of such authority not only gives grave of
fence to other officers in the Navy, but it does
incalculable harm to the service. It is welt
known that the Admiral has very strong preju
dices,.and it has been alleged, perhaps unfairly
in some cases, that he has used the peculiar in-
fluenee of lisfaise position to gratify those pre
judices in tbe instances of certain officers, and
also of certain measures which be desired to
have executed in the service. We know that
he has been the head and front of all the foul
injustice•done to the staff officers during recent
years, and that he opposed with great bitter
ness the claims of the staff to be made equal
with the line arid to have such treatment as
should be accorded to gentlemen. The ferocity
and intensity of the prejudice exhibited in this
matter goes very far to prove the truthfulness
of the charge that this same prejudice has in
duced him to commit other acts of injustice.
.But even if such were not the case, public
sentiment would seem -to make his .removal
from the Department advis able. It is vitally
necessary that the affairs of the Navy should be
conducted by an official who is a civilian and
far removed from the temptations which must
beset the best naval officer to act with .par
tiality. Mr. Robeson is fully competent to
conduct the Department without the assistance
of such an adviser as Admiral Porter. Other
civilians with far less ability have discharged
the duties satisfactorily to the navy and to the
people. Mr. Robeson will have a higher claim
to popular respect if, he will undertake the
same responsibility. indeed he cannot over
look the insult conveyed by this letter of Al
lyn's. It is an offence that it was addressed to
a person who has no legal standing whatever
in the Department, instead of being seat() the
Secretary.; it.issa. more grevious offence that
Admiral Porter received it, and infinitely ware
that,he permitted it to be made public. We
earnestly hope that tins crowning piece of in
solence to which Admiral Porter appears to be
a contributor, will insure his removal and as
signment to legitimate duty. Mr. Robeson
owes it to himself and to the Government to
institute this reform at once.
DEMOCRATIC fiLAVEBY IN D.E.LAd
Yesterday Mr—James Ponder, of Sussex
county, was nominated by the Democrats of
Delaware as their candidate for Governor ; or
rather, we should say, he was nominated by
the Saulsbury family as the individual for
whom the Democratic vassals of that clique
are required to vote. Mr. Ponder is a brother
in-law of Dr. Saulsbury, the present Governor
of Delaware, of Willard Saulsbury, the de
baucbee who disgraces the United States
Senate Chamber with his drunken capers, and
of Mr. Eli Saulsbury, Ike anemberofthe happy
family who stays at home to manage the
voting vassals, and keep them true to their
allegiance to the Saulsbtuys. It is one of the
traditions of this family of demagogues, drunk
ards and small politicians that certain offices
in the gift of the State of Delaware and all
the Democratic voters in the lower section of
the State, are their peculiar, property ;
and there is a pleasant little understanding
between the Saulsburys and the Bayards, who
reign supreme in the upper section, that there
shall be no trespassing on each other's baili
wick. The Saulsburys always select a member
of their family for any fat office that:is in the
market, and the servile Democrats never think
of refusing to nominate him with enthusiasm
or of declining to vote for him. These facts
are perfectly well known to everybody who is
familiar with the politics of Delaware, and
when, therefore, the Age speaks of Ponder's
nomination as a "fortunate choice," as if
certain sagacious citizens had picked him out
as the best man among a thousand, and when
itattributes.the unanimity of his nomination
to the fnct that " he . is popillar witli all classes
of people," it is well aware that its utterances
are merely bosh and nonsense. Ponder was
brought forward simply because he is a brother
in-law of the Saulsburys, and he would be
elected even if hewere. the stupidest of all the
wooden-headed Democrats in the State of
Delaware.
It may seem somewhat surprising that a
Whole - community of free American citizens
should submituncomplainingly year_after _year
to the insolent tyranny of any single family,
particularly when its representatives hitherto
fiIILOELPIIIA EVENING I3UL
On Tuesday last the formal opening of the
Lake Superior and Mississippi Railroad took
place at Duluth. The ceremonies were partici
pated in by the party of excursionists who left
Philadelphia on the 12th inst. for that purpose,
uliar in and were made the occasion of much rejoicing.
both at thr it' which b,
have always been remarkable, for their inca
ipacity, and for their shameless, open indul
gence in the`lowest Nices that cdn disgrace hu
man beings; but the Saulsburys have taken
care to keep their follovirers,in training for the
peculiar kind of service required of them. For
years past they have controlled the Legisla
ture and all the influential (Ares in the State,
and they have neglected to provide the
with a free school system,., with a decent rail
road systein, and with all the appliances which
combine to make communities intelligent, lib
eral and progressive. As a consequence of this
the lower counties of Delaware have a civiliza
tion which is half a century' behind that which
exists in any of the neighboring States. The
people are 'distinguished for a blind and brain
less bigotry, a stupid conservatism, an absence
of common intelligence and a complete want
of sympathy with the spirit of the age, 'which
is Without parallel in this ;Cofintry, excepting,
perhaps, in some of the most INnighted regions
of the South. All this .is the direct result of
the Saulsbury policy, and such a' deplorable
condition of things is necessary to; the success
of the Saulsbury designs. A community Must
be brutalized and ignorant beyond even the
requirements of ordinary Democracy to obey
without question, as these people do, the com
mands of such a miserable clique. , • .
But we have good reason to hope for better
things in the early . future. We believe the
Saulaburys have had their day; that the power
of the family will soon be broken' ; ; that the
preposterous Ponder will not beinfllctednpon
the people of Delaware as the successor of the
other Saulsbury who now.. occupies the gover
norship. The Republicans of Delaware are
well organized, active, earnest and determined
to win. They will poll nearly- theAvhole negro
vote at the coming election,: and there is
little doubt that they will at 'last grasp the,
reins of government and disenthrall the State.
It would be a little singular if the blacks whom
the Saulsbury party bate with . inexpressible
hatred sheuld rescue 'Delaware•from:herene
-Mies and,give her a c.hance to.prove that she_
still contains some honesty, intelligence and
capability ; but it seems probable that this will
be the case.
OPENING THE WESP.
new city whici. .ias sprung up, by
magic, at the head of Lake Superior, - and at the
older terminus on the Mississippi River, St.
Paul. A grand range of country is thrown
open to settlement and to trade by the com
pletion of thii road, and it gains - additional im
portance from the fact of its being the first link
in the great chain of trans-continental com
munication now being constructed by the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company.
From San Francisco We learn of another
railroad enterprise, tending to the development
of another large section of the great West•
The Central. Pacific Railroad Company has
consolidated the California and Oregon, the
Oakland and Allemeda, and the San Joachim
Valley roads, under its own management and
title. This consolidation will have a direct in
fluence in establishing important feeders to the
trunk-line, and in extending the advantages of
freer communication between the several sec
tions of country traversed by these roads and
the East.
Still it third railroad enterprise has just been
completed in the Far West. We refer to the
extension of the Kansas Pacific Railway to
Denver. The completion of this great enter- .
prise will be celebrated next week, at Denver,
and an excursion party, consisting of promi
nent railroad men and other gentlemen inte
rested in our Western .imprvements, will
leave New York and Philadelphia on Saturday
next to participate in the rejoicings over this
event. The road which connects the Kansas
Pacific Railway with Denver and thence with
Cheyenne has the double value of opening up
the eastern section of Colorado, with all its
great mineral resources, and of giving the
Kansas road a most desirable line of outlet
westward by its connection at Cheyenne with
the Union Pacific road.
All these far western railroad enterprises are
so many practical indications of the rapid in
crease of our frontier population. Even while
access to the Western territories was almost
impossible, the hardy pioneers of American
eiviliiation, forced their way into the unex
plored wilds of the West, and made homes for
themselves and their families, far beyond the
reach of any communications ,but those that
the untracked prairies afforded. Gradually
they have opened up the country, and . as their
numbers have increased trade has pushed
after them, and the 'railroad has become a
necessity. In all directions, first through the
Western States, developing Missouri, Illinois,
Iowa; Minnesota, then thitiugh Kansas and
Nebraska as they emerged from territories
into States, the railroad men of America have
extended
• " the iron threads we spin
That weave our web of towns,"
until now the broad continent is belted in
every direction with railroads that at once bring
the frontier world into easy communication
with the older-settled country and carry for
ward into the Far West that excess of European
and Atneripan population which is to people
and civilize the whole vast territory beyond the
Mississippi.

PRESIDENT GRANT AT NEWPORT
Visit to the Yacht Cambria.`”Spiendid
Re ception by Captain sehbury---Dinner
Party at Mr. Morton's Cottage.
NiwpouT, August 24, 1870.--Newport's
volatile gayety, which, with the declining sea
son, was rapidly subsiding into a monotony of
drives, bathing and hops, but has been roused
to temporary vitalizing animation by the pre
sence of the New York yacht squadron, is,
since - the departure, this morning, - of - nearly
all the vessels of the squadron, enjoying an
additional pleasurably emotional excitement
in the presence of President Grant.
About noon, the President,-accompanied by
Mrs. Grant, Mr. and Mrs. Morton and Gene
ral Porter, visited Fort Adams, Colonel Du
pont commandant. A salute was fired in
honor of the President's arrival, after which
he reviewed the troops of the fortress. The
line condition of the fort and admirable mili
tary training evidenced by the soldiers,elicited
the warmest encomiums of the President. The
most pleasing, as well as the most interesting,
event of the day was a visit made by the
President on board the yacht Cambria,
Mrs. Grant and the other parties
named above also accompanying him
in this visit. The President was received with
all due honors, which would have been greatly
extended, however, had not, as already stated,
nearly all the vessels of the New York Yacht
Squadron.left early in the morning, leaving of
this squadron only the yachts Sappho and• Ma
deleine to unite with the Cambria in extend
ing to the distinguished visitors the honors
usual on such occasions. The President and
party were received in the Cambria's gig, and
after coming on board were introduced to Cap
tain Ashbury, who in fitting terms expressed
to the President his appreciation of the com
pliment tendered him, and having introduced
essrs. Cook and Kemp, his conipagnons du co y
agein the late ocean yacht race,sho wed theparty
over the vessel. It is unnecessary to say that
the President was most highly pleased with
the thorough perfectness of all her interior
appointments as well as splendid sailing quali
ties, so conclusively shown in her late _bril
liant but closely contested• race with the.
Dauntless. The yacht was profusely deco
rated with flags, and as the party stepped on
board the Arnericanliag, which till then bad

WEDNESDAY. Aug. 24.—The gold movement continues
to monopolize the attention of the street to the exclu
sion of speculative interest in the other markets. Nor is
it the more readily understood the more i, engrosses at
tention, but la gradually getting to be of the nature of a
Puzzle, each as appears in many magazines, the sole
t ion of which, being quite hopeless to the ordinary
mind, is promised in a subsequent num
ber, So here to-day it exhibited some
curious features, opening active and strong
and advancing rapidly one per cent. from the figure of
the first sales. From that it weakened .and went off
per tent., but rallied again .14 to . - hc, and continued
steady for some time. Suddenly It became panicky
anti dropped 1 per cent., but as quickly recovered,
advancing 'avidly in successive fractional stages.
Here it stood at the Mined closing of the
room (117-d); but mtbsequently advanced a fur
ther 34 per cent., which, however it again
lost, leaving off at the same figure. The precise
causes operating to produce these cfluctua
tiens it would be difficult to state positively. The story
of a pool having been formed gained further credence
early in the day. and may have stimulated a closing
out of the remaining short interest left over from yes
terday.and so produced the first advance. That this
shortinterest has been gradually eliminated is 'Mown in
the rates of the gold loan market to-day, which ranged
from flat for borrowing to 3 per cent. for carrying, The
subeequent gradual decline is explainable by the fact
of the Government selling geld to-day, 81,0,AV
being the amount announced, yet the Secretary hoeing
the option to take all bid nor. This is still further borne
--out by-the-fact-of the-sudden-drop-being---occaltioned—hy—
the rept rt that the Secretary bail availed himself of such
privilege. This latter incident, however, is in itself a
puzzle, the whole amount bid for being only 4'2,050,1M,
and the award of 41,e00,000 having been made and posted
on the bulletin board in front of the cashier's desk in
the Sub-Treasury building for some time before
the excitement in the Gold Room referred to the report
of a different result commenced. The speedy contradic
tion of the absurd canard naturally enough produced a
ray in the market, the late fluctuations being easily
enough understood as occasioned by the agitation of the
market after so sudden a break. In regard to the pool,
concernin which so much is said in Wall street, it
would really
seem as though in that discussion it began
and ended. There may be such a combination as in
spoken of, although it would be a hazardous under
taking, and would certainly never reach theproportions
of that 01 last year ; but the most reasonable explana
tion of the excitement yet concerning it, in the absence
of any proof of the pool, is that parties sus
pected of forming it industriously circulated these
reports themselves, being desirous of creating au
impression that such an influence is operating on the
market. If they could once obtain general credence in
this regard; knowing the truth, it would be as
good a point to them as a :termite ,
pooh
; indeed, better, as being s.
any . that could be formed at the present unsettled
period. Beyond this, which could fully account for
whatever of artificial movement the market to-day pre•
'muted, this terrible Vite noire of Wall street does not
seem to be very formidable this time. The war notes
NVSS mostly inoperative iu the Gold Room to-day from
its indecisive character, A slight decline in Louden
early-in the day may have helped the first -reaction, but
there was nothing in the reports of tho London market
later In the day to influence the preminm hero.
The money market is without new features except an
increased ease, and mere loans at four per cent. Four
and live per cent. were to-day the ruling rates on call.
The government market was alike uninfluenced by
the movement In geld and• the European advices, and
continued dull and • steady- throughout the .:day.
The fact' is; the present holders here -are indisPose , i
to sell, and the war In' Europe, while It has not
caused the return of any of our bonds. has checked the
demand for them on foretell account. Hence pee, ulat ion--
la eke its essential stimulus and the market neither ad
yences nor_ declines for want of operating_causee, the
supply on the street being sufficiently regulated by the
—Treasnry 'purchases. To-morrow proposals will be re
ceived by the Secretary for the purchase of $2,000,000
five-twenties.

excited.
Discussion was upon the proposition offered
a few days Since by M. Keratry for the organ

During the debate M. Jules Favre made a
forcible appeal. He attributed the misfor
tunes which France now suffers to the fatal
leadership to which she has submitted.
The Chambers ought to say if it is for the
dynasty that France should fight. ,
The speaker was interrupted by loud • manic
festations of dissent.
M. Buffet rose to reply to Deputy Favre.
He said there was now but one question under
consideration in the Chambers, to drive
strangers from the country.
Upon a division the proposal of M. Keratry
to add members to the National Defence
Committee was rejected by a vote of 206
affirmatively, to 41 in the negative.

PARIS, August 25.—The Journal Officiel to
day publishes an article, of which the follow
ing is an extract: " Our ports are free. Our
fleet will strike boldly in the North and Baltic
Seas. Our commerce and industry are active.
Our credit is good. There can be no com
parison of our finances with those of the
enemy. Prussia looked for treachery and dis
couragement here, and uneasily wonders at
the promptitude of the nation in arming and
organizing, and understands by this time the
more the struggle is prolonged the better is
our situation. Our resources in men and
ine_ney_..are inexhaustible.
" Though invaded, France arms the entire
nation. Neutral powers remain friendly, but
comprehend that there cannot now be any
question of mediation."
Who Cares?
The Siecle, this' morning, commenting on the
item of news that the Imperial headquarters
are at Itheims, says—" Who cares? AlaciNla
bon can only have one headquarters—the
centre of operations. The Imperial head
quarters can only be a superfluity, au em
barrassment, a pretext for losing battles. The

The Situation as Viewed Through
THE FORCES AT CHALONS
MacMahon in Communication with
PARIS READY TO RECEIVE THE
Riatis, Aug. 25.--[Special to the Goaerter
des Etats-Unis.]—A decided change is apparent
in onr military situation within the last forty
eight hours. We look back upon ourselves
after three weeks of disappointment and de
feat, and ti-morrow perhaps we shall take the
offensive. Such at least is the opinion which
prevails at the War Department and through
out official circles.
"the - bitelligence - Which have Ob 7:
tained:—After the defeat at Froschweiler, the
debris of the corps engaged retreated in
pretty good order upon Saverne and Nancy,
whence they were transported to Chalons by
the Strasbourg Railway as rapidly,as the dis
organized_service of _the- hne- would permit
Concentration at Chalonia
On the other hand, part of the troops
encamped in Centerhad, south of Alsace, as
well as the large garrison of Belfort, were
• . # • o_Chalons-by-the-paria-and-
Muhlhouse Railway. At the same time an es
pCditionary force concentrated at Cherbourg,
in - orderto - opclutef biftliia - slioTe - s - of the la] fi c ,
and nearly forty thousand troops. of the line
were also despatched to Chalons, where they
arrived, in five days.
These forces, added to the fifteen thousand
regulars from Paris and the frontier towns
near Belgium, made up an effective army of
one hundred thousand men. Thirty-five thou
sand of the Garde Mobile were also added to
them, and, under the able direction of Gen
eral Trochu, these forces, lately entirely dis
tinct, have not been slow-to consolidate into
an army homogeneous and inured to war, and
provided with all necessary material for a cam
paign.
After completing the formation of this
army, General Trocbu went to Paris to or
ganize and create another new army.
[Movements of MaeMohon's Forces.
• After having rallied with considerable loss
the last detachments of the corps beaten in
the battle of August 6, MacMahon arrived at
Chalons, and has been placed at the head of
the army raised by Trochu. His first care was
to secure his communications with Bazaine
who had been almost hemmed in around Metz
by the Prussians.
He succeeded, I am assured, and his ad
vanced post extends as far as Mezieres and
Montmedy, and covers the Ardennes Railway
and a line parallel with the frontier. A fact
which proves that communications with Metz
are intact is the arrival yesterday at Soisson of
a great number of Prussians made prisoners
at Gravelotte, another convoy being also on
its way. This fact proves that this day, so
fiercely disputed, was not without glory for
us, since we have leisure to make and guard
prisoners.
As for the plans of MacMahon nothing is
publicly known , here, but I will take care that
you shall be promptly informed. The
Ministry is inflexible on the point, and you
would not receive a despatch which I should
send.
The Prince Royal of Prussia seems to real
ize the risks which he was running, and will
try eventually to go to the aid of his con
federates in the campaign, for it is affirmed
here that he has retraced his steps and retreated
on St. Michael. It may be true, however, ac
cording to another report, that he continues
his march on Paris by the Valley of the Aube.
In any case we are ready to receive him. .
is almost finished, and yesterday the erection
of drawbridges .9t the crossings of the princi
pal roads vas complet t ed. Bastions have been
constructed at each entrance, and posterns
whose batteries will deliver an effective cross
fire. The armament of St. Denis and of Mont
Valerian is really formidable.
Another battle occurred at Metz on Sun
day, and ended in our favor. Something de
cisive is preparing in that quarter.
