The fact is that every body felt that a double , peril threatened us. We were without head or .organization, and we-had-before-us an antagonist longsince well organized, and whose political purpose may be statedin a single sentence—the destruction ofTrance We do not. exaggerate anything.

I have taken the com mand of the German armies to repel this ag gression, and 1 have beentriy-a concur rence of military events to cross the frontiers into France. The war which I carry on is di rected against soldiers and not against French citizens. These last will continue to enjoy se t urity for their persons as long as they avoid any hostile attack on the German troops—an attack which would deprive rue of the right of granting them my protection. tt By special dispositions, which will' be in due form communicated to the public, the generahi commanding the different corps will determine the measures to be taken concerning the different communes and individuals placing themselves out of the usages of war. They will also reg ulate, in the same form, everything that re lates to the requisitions which may be judged necessary for supplying the wants of the troops, while they will at the same time fix the rate of exchange for French and German 't money, in order to facilitate individual trans actions between the troops and - the inhabitants.

"On Sunday, August 7tb," says the correspondent, a special train came into Nancy with some of the wounded. Marshal MacMahon acciam panied them. He came ' precipitately' to Nancy in search of subsistence for his troops, the enemy having taken all his provisions. His troops had eaten nothing for twenty-eight hours.. The'Bfarshal went on — fiaor from - the railway station to the Cafe Boillot, a well flown rendezvous of the otlicers of the garrison: He was in such a state as to be hardly recognized. He was covered with Mud from head to foot, his hands were black, : one . of his epaulettes had been carried away by a bullet, the skirts of his uniform were full of bullet holes, his telescope was broken a,ut.der by a ball Übich at the same time slightly wounded him in the hand. He had not hail time to take oil his Hessian, boots and long spurs. Every body in the cafe, as soon as he was known, respectfully saluted 'him. He hastily called for some cold meat, for he had not tasted leo& for bw etity=eight hours: —H e wrote' a killer while he was eating; and was very soon joined hi. an otlicer who is believed to lie Gen. Del. Italy. They' went into a private roma and had a short consultation, after which the. Marshal went back by rail with the provi sions he had bought for his soldiers. An in habitant of Nancy, personally acquainted with the Marshal, asked him news of the Cuiras siers. His answer was: " The Cuirassiers! why, there are none of them left!" ProclamatiOn of Napoleon.

Our rea6rs will remeMber the terrible thus der storm at Kingstown, Ulster county, on Thursday evening, during which five rsons were killed and others severely injured by the sane stroke of lightning. The telegraphic re port of4lic occurrence was confined to a brief notice, aut. -- te have procured the following detailed ar.liunt of it, which will be read with interest: The heat throughout the day was intense, the - thermometer making as high ,as ninety tWo.,in the shade, The- atrnoSphere-was verY derise, and was made to seem more so from being loaded.with smoke-from fires.-on the mountains in the river.eounties. : .4bout,noon the smoke lifted for the first time, when it was fourid that heavy clouds were accumulating around the horizon, and about dark a storm of rain s with thiinder and lightning, corn menCed. Union avenue was crowded with persons going to the circus, the tent for which had been pitched in that avenue. By the time the performance commenced there could not have been less than fifteen hundred human beings under the canopy. This was just before BP. M., and large drops of.. rain had already commencettst , wile .the Willi der *ithritit - almost drowned the voice of the ring-master within. A short diStance from the main tent was a smaller tent used as a fruit Stand, and a few feet from this stand stood located in a corner of the yard of an adjoining Qn the corner of the circus gibund, under and near the tree, were,grouped a large number of persons, who had taken shelter there from the StlPl In. Under the fruit tent were also congregated about twenty-five per sons, while hitched to the tree spoken of was a horse attached to a wagon, a colored man being seated in the latter. Mirth and Jollity prevailed about this group ; one colored man yelling at tunes to passers-by, "Save yer money, yer a slow before morning," and then all would laugh. Suddenly One Illtodhot Sheet of Flame ' lit up the enUre scene, and a peal ' of thunder felloweil which shook the earth while the air__ seemed - impregnated with.a sUlphurous The scene which then occurred inside the cir-' ens-:tent batiles description.

Tlie clown cracked his jokes and laughed as loud as ever, but tt could easily be seen that it was not a natural laugh, and that he. too awns thoroughly alarmed; While all this was going on inside the tent the fatal shaft, of h2htning had done Its work outside. Never ~re such fearful results of a stroke of light ning recorded before. al feared to come from the west. or with wrest, eiating a hole about twelve feet square through the top of the main canvas, thence across the open space to the willow tree spoken of above, forty yards distant, shatter ing the tree, killing the horse which was tied t' it, and knocking senseless the driver, tear ing the soles from his boots and singing his clothing. Passing from thence it descended to the group of colored persons near the tree. Five were , trick down with smiles and jokes upon their i,,. The following is a list of them, all eiikired people: Elizabeth Newkirk, of Hur -4f ), aged 10; Jane Montanve, of Marbletown, a 50; Arthur Scott. of Kingston, aged :to dames Bush, of Marbietown, aged 28 ; W.

She b II with liar arms folded. and they could hardly be pried apart. Elizabeth Newkirk laughing, and there was a smile upon her lir , when she was nicked up. Arthur Scott tiaii one arm partially raised, and after death it was hard work to straighten it; and thus itl i cy died.

Twenty-live pi•i • ons under the .fruit tent Were knocked wn and severely injured. According to the statement oftiy-standers, it was, indeed a fear right. Hundreds under the main tent.were p ak zed, and incidents of an extraordinary n:,ll,re were visible everywhere. When the tri,e state of affairs outside became known u hoe. the main canvas, there was no holding it i aildielleC, and thent.he entertainment for hi' \ ening ended at once. As a rush was eie for the open air, it Was ascer to it that scores of persons could not Irate their seats. All of them were more or less injured:- - -Otio 'Midi - had troft . "Or Erg coat torn away ; another had lost the rim of his hat, and dozens were alutest unconscious. They sat like statues, and there was a gaze of vacaucyin their eyes that was frightful to look upon.
