IRELAND AND SWITZERLAND.

The populations of both these countries are in
Lope that the war will at least be of service to them

in sending tourists to see the natural beauties of their
respective provinces. Switzerland can, it is said, be
reached in safety through the Dijon territory by all
Englishmen who have passports in their hands,
and as many sovereigns iu their purses as can
be carried. It is confessed that travellers who have
come to Geneva, while on the way there, have had

occasionally to lie on railway station floors; with-
out refreshment and without rest. They have found,
however, that they can on the whole live cheaply in
the Swiss towns, and if they put all thought of peril
on the home journey out of their minds, can
positively enjoy the still lakes, lovely moun-
tain scenery, and picturesque valleys so
abundantly open to view. The sympathisers with
Ireland, however, have a better story to tell
as the results of a -Lodr in that country. We have
read this week a description of what is called the
"circular tour" in the western highlands of Ireland,

•
and from recollections of certain lovely spots,
which it is shown will be encountered in taking the
"circular" route, we are inclined to believe that the
glories of the west of that country are pretty
fairly enumerated in the travellers' guide furnished
by the directors of the Irish Midland Railway. The
direction taken, entirely leaves the southern lakes
and mountain districts out of the question, districts
which, be it said, are the prettiest and most interesting
for travellers, but many tourists have already ex-
plored Killarney, and the Reeks over and over again,
and therefore more attention ought henceforth to be
given to noting the beauties of the northern and
western routes, and in making them better known.
For the western highlands route, a traveller can buy
his ticket in England and he can pursue the journey
marked out for him without any trouble, question, or
delay. Hotel charges even here, it is said, are
moderate, and the hospitality of Irishmen is no where
so exhibited, as in those places where the invigorating
breezes of the Atlantic pass over the shore, and
where the round towers of other days are most
plentiful.

TIM WAR ON TAE OCEAN.

The war between France and Prussia will be concluded
with all its attendant horrors, upon land ; but on the sea a
new order of things is to be inaugurated. The Declara-
tion of Paris in 1856 contained four articles, which were
subscribed to by England, France, Prussia, Austria,
Russia, Turkey, and Sardinia, .as follows :
First—Privateering is and remains abolished ; second
—The neutral flag covers enemy's goods, with
the exception of contraband of war. Third—
Neutral goods, with the exception of contraband
of war, are not liable to capture under an enemy's flag.
Fourth—Blockades, in order to be binding, must be effec-
tive—that is to say, maintained by a force sufficient really
to prevent access to the coast of the enemy. The United
States Government refused to subscribe to the first article,
and did not become a party to the compact. At the outset
of the " little " trouble which now exists, Prussia made
capital by declaring that she would abide by all the
conditions of the declarations; now Napoleon comes forward
and not only assures the world that he will maintain
the compact inviolate, but also include the merchandise
and ships of the United States and Spain, as though
they had become parties to the Declaration. This is very
well for the present ; but should England intervene with
the "secret treaty" as a pretext, Napoleon may be in-
clined to change his policy and endeavour to give English
commerce a blow between wind and water. Coal has
become contraband of war under the new order of things;
-and the genius of the French Emperor may suggest the
propriety of including wheat, which would effectually
paralyze the energies of Albion, for without bread what
would her people do ? Every war develops new principles,
and the Franco-Prussian war of 1870 will not be without
important lessons and results.—San Francisco Chronicle.
London, England, 1870-08-22

NAVAL AND MILITARY.

The number of men, boys, and girls taken on in the
Royal Laboratory Department of Woolwich Arsenal,
within the last few weeks, amounts to nearly a thousand;
but many of the lathes still lie idle, the iron work pre-
served in what the workmen call " Gladstone's paint•" It
is, however, stated that an extensive order for shot, shell,
powder cases, &c., has been issued from the War Office,
which will soon set all the machinery in motion once
more.

By the death of Dr. Wilson, R.N., the post of an
honorary physician to the Queen, and a good-service pen-
sion, has fallen to the gift of the First Lord of the
Admiralty. There is no lack of candidates.

The Admiralty intend utilizing some of the best of the
large wooden ships by cutting them dos.vn, and armour-
plating them. An order has been given to at once con-
vert into an iron-clad ship the Robust, which has for
twelve years been on the stocks at Devonport,
two-thirds built. She was originally intended for a 90-
gun screw two decker, but was stopped building when
that class of ship was found to be obsolete. She willye.
quire extensive alteration, but will make a very tine
vessel. about

The United Service Gazette says :—Colonel Gordon, late
depot battalion, has been appointed to the vacant post of
Commandant of the Royal Victoria Hospital at Netley.—
We learn from Hazareebah that an officer of the 107th
Regimant has shewn such evident signs of mental derange-
ment that it has been decided to send him home to Eng•
land at once.—The First Lord of the Admiralty returned
to his official residence in Whitehall on Wednesday last.
With the exception of Mr. Baxter, M.P., the whole of the
Board are at their respective posts.— Captain Moors9ln,
30th Foot, has been appointed aide-de-camp to Major-
General Newton, commanding at Dublin.

The Broad Arrow says :—lthas been arranged that no
reductions of brigade staff appointments at Aldershot will
take place this year.—Our army is at last to be supplied
with field guns. It having been decided that the
muzzle-loading rifled field gun is suitable for Indian
warfare, the authorities seem to have no doubt that
it will be found equally serviceable against disciplined
troops and arms of precision. Acting on this persuasion,
they have ordered fifty muzzle-loading rifled field-guns to
be manufactured, and when these are ready, it is believed
that our troops will be able to stand in line of battle
against Prussia and Russia or any other two Powers
combined.

TURRET WAR SHIPS.

The controversy that has raged for some time
respecting the comparative merits of Captain Coles's
turret ships and Mr. Reed's iron-clads is likely to
receive an additional impetus by the entrance of the
Messrs. Laird, of Birkenhead, into the newspaper
war. When, in 1866, the Admiralty gave Captain
Coles an opportunity of reducing his theories to
practice, the firm of the Lairds was selected to build
the turret ship Captain. This vessel has been
characterised by Mr. Reed as the very worst failure
in a ship to fulfil her design that he had ever known;
but the builders contend that the Captain has ful-
filled every condition laid down, and, as a proof of

their success in this respect, the Messrs. Laird refer
to the reports of Admirals Symonds and Robinson,
' the former of whom speaks in most unqualified terms
as to the power and efficiency of the turret-
ship. " Comparisons are odious," to old
ladies like Mrs. Malaprop, but Messrs.
Laird are not reluctant to compare their own
workmanship with Mr. Reed's Bellerophon, one of
his most successful war ships. At the trial of the
Captain, her speed exceeded that of the Bellerophon,
although the engines of the former exerted 400 indi-
cated horse-power less, and she had to carry 400
tons greater weight than Mr. Reed's ironclad. The
accommodation in the Captain for the crew and
most of the officers is. under the protection of the
armour-plated portion of the vessel, while in the
Bellerophon this is not the case. Here, therefore,
the Captain is decidedly superior to the other ship.

CAUSES OF FRENCH FAILURE.

The John Bull says that wonderful has been the courage
shewn by the French soldiery.' All that man could do
Bazaine has done—aye, and M`Mahon too. The true
source of the weakness of France was over-security.
Prussian scouts are very superior to French scouts ;
Prussian means of information of all kinds are incom-
parably superior. Nye could specify many other
reasons for French failure, but this is not the season.
We have literally not the heart to do so now; hereafter

we may go more thoroughly into moral and social
causes. Organisation is incomplete in France; movements
are tardy. There is a want of intellectual vigour, and no
courage will avail in war without rapidity and what may
be best designated as life. But the chief want of all is
goodwill. Unhappily the nation is divided against itself ;
it has lost trust not enly in the ruling powers, but in its
fellow citizens. Distrust and suspicion, have always been
the chief weaknesses of the French national character :
they were the real occasion of the Reign of Terror, and
they seem to us to have culminated of late years. Enthu-
siasm has been lost even for glory.
London, England, 1870-08-22

SETTLEMENT OF THE RED RIVER DIFFICULTY.

Whether or no we escape being drawn into the
European imbroglio, it is satisfactory that we need
not anticipate another costly and dangerous expe-
dition against semi-civilized foes. The Red River
difficulty is at an end, if we are to judge by a
despatch just received from Toronto, bearing date
August sth. The expeditionary force was then at
Lake of the Woods, and Riel, the self-elected com-
mander of the rebels, was aware of their approach,
but a good understanding existed between him
and Colonel Wolsey, the commander of the forces.
Riel, according to the last accounts which we
have received_ of him, professes to be indifferent
to personal aggrandisement, and to be only anxious
t secure the liberties and privileges of " his" people.
Whatever the truth of the matter may be, he seems
to have decided not to oppose the advance of the
expedition, and has issued a proclamation stating
that all difficulties are amicably settled. Colonel
Wolsey has also issued an address to the people,
declaring that his mission was one of peace, and that
he would give equal protection to all races, havingcome
to establish her Majesty's authority, and to provide
for tie impartial administration of justice. Conse-
quently the expedition, which between the deficiency
of communications, the threatened opposition of
Indians, the manoeuvres of the Fenians, and the
possible unhealthiness of the season, at one time
threatened to cost many valuable lives, has arrived
at its journey's end with unexpected ease. The
American press is a little inclined to resent the dis-
appointment in the way of sensational news, but
Fiance and Prussia have provided them with con-
solation. The crops on the Red River promise very
favourably.

CHAPMAN & CO.'S ENTIRE WHEAT FLOUR.
PROFESSOR ATTFIELD, Analyst to the Royal Pharma-
ceutical Society of Great Britain, reports as follows :---" Its rich-
ness in gluten, or flesh-forming material and phoshates, or bone
and teeth-forming substances, shows it to be a very valuable and
nutritious food, especially for children. It is incomparably
superior to arrowroot, corn-flour, and other forms of starch, which
contribute but little to the growth o renewal of bone or muscle.

WRECKS AND CASUALTIES.

There can be no doubt whatever that a consider-
able proportion of our annual marine disasters belong
to the class of preventible casualties. If we knew
the full facts in every case of wreck and disaster at
sea we should very often find either that the vessel
lost was old, unsound, or insufficiently manned,
that the navigation was defective, or that she was
overladen, ill found, or otherwise unfitted for her
work. Of course there are thousands of cases in
which no human skill or caution will avail
against the dangers inseparable from a sea life, but
these are so numerous, that it is all the more de-
sirable no effort should be spared to avoid one need-
less catastrophe. Many suggestions in the way of
official inspection, legislative interference, and similar
directions have been made of late years ; but the
first step in the way of practical reform is un-
doubtedly the obtaining of full and accurate in-
formation. In this respect Mr. Henry Jeula, the
Hon. Secretary of the Statistical Committee of
Lloyd's, has done good public service by his issue of
an annual analysis of the wrecks and casualties
reported in Lloyd's list, compared with the average
of the three previous years. The tables have no
reference to insurance transactions, but simply record
all losses and casualties of any importance which
have occurred throughout the world, dividing them
into geographical sections, and giving the number of
lives believed to be lost in each case. The cases of
total loss, of damage, of raising after sinking, &c.,
are specified; so, though the actual circumstances of
the wreck are not given, the careful observer can
attain an accurate idea of the enormous aggregate of
mischief which goes on. An annual average total of
3,343 casualties for the last ten years, of which 2,266
occur off the British Islands, certainly calls for
further investigation.

ELEMENTARY EDUCATION.

On the 9th of' August the Royal assent was given
to the Elementary Education Bill, and on the 16th
of the month the Education Department addressed a
circular to every borough and parish, setting forth
the nature of .the returns that must be made to the
Council. The general or district form is to furnish

information with respect to the area of the borough
where school provision is required ; the special or
school form is to be filled up by the managers or
teachers of every school of an elementary character.
The councils of the various schools are reminded
that the Education Department take into
account .the schools in operation, and also
those which would be efficient for the
population when completed. It is further stated
that the Education Department may appoint persons
to act as inspectors of returns to inquire into their
accuracy and the efficiency of the schools. Should
the managersor teachers of schools refuse or neglect
to fill up the required returns or allow the inspector
to examine the school-books or registers, such school
shall not be counted among those which give efficient
education to the district. Should any local authority
fail to make the necessary returns, the Education De-
partment may appoint persons to fulfil the duty who
will be investsd with the same power and authority.

STATEMENT OF COUNT DE PALIKAO.

In Saturday's sitting of the Legislatif Body,
General de Palikao said :—" The Prussians have
used a report to be spread that on the 18th inst.
they obtained great advantages over our troops. I
come here to declare that the Prussians who attacked
Marshal Bazaine were, on the contrary, driven back into
the quarries of Jaumont." The Minister of War
added that the Committee of Defence was actively at
work. The Government had not the least appre-
hension, and before long everything would be placed in
the best condition. General de Palikao's declaration
was unanimously cheered.

M. Henri Chevreau, the Minister of the Interior,
then announced that the armament of the National
Guard of Paris was being actively proceeded with,
and that 80,000 men would be armed on the 26th of
August.

THE ADVANCE OF THE CROWN PRINCE.
A telegram from Paris says that Marshal Bazaine
is stated to occupy a
_position enabling him
to march upon Metz or Verdun, and to have
voluntarily arrested his march upon Verdun. The
communication between Metz and Chalons has
become difficult, eighteen hours being required for
despatches between Marshals Bazaine and
raackiahone In the battle or the Itith, tne rrenon
again fell short of ammunition.
The Crown Prince of Prussia is reported to
have pushed forward to Vichy-le-Francais. A. battle
VMS hourly expected between the Crown Prince and
the army at Chalons under the command of Marshal
MacMahon.

The Emperor and the Prince Imperial are at
Chalons. The Prussians made heavy requisitions at
Luneville.

SAXON ACCOUNT.

The Minister of War at Dresden has received a
report of the part taken by the Saxon troops in the
battle of Rezonville. The Saxon Corps d'Armee, in
oonjunction with the Prussian Guards, went into the
fight at four o'clock in the afternoon, and were
successful. Both divisions and the artillery corps
were engaged. The details of the losses sustained
are not yet known. Many prisoners were taken.
The troops engaged were the Second, Seventh,
Eighth, Ninth, Twelfth, and Third Corps, and the
artillery.

METROPOLITAN MEAT MARKET.

Devoid of any feature of importance the cattle trade
has been in a quiet state to-day, and the increased
liberality of the receipts has in some instances weakened
prices. The arrivals of beasts from our own grazing dis-
tricts have been on a moderate scale, but they have in-
cluded but few specimens of choice qualities. A fair
number has been received from Germany, and Spain has
sent a moderate supply in generally speaking good con-
dition. As regards trade prime breeds have been in
request at from 5s 4d 5s 6d per 81b; otherwise the
demand has been inactive at about late rates.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire and Northamptonshire
we received about 1,390 shorthorns, etc., from other parts
of England 600 various kinds, and from Ireland about 100
oxen. With sheep the market has been fairly supplied.
There has been a healthy inquiry at improving currencies.
The best Downs and half-breds have sold occasionally at
5s Bd, but 5s 6d per 811 as has been the general top quota-
tion. Lambs have sold slowly. Calves have been in
limited request, and pigs have been neglected.

THis MORNING'S NEWS.

THE FRENCH FLEET IN THE NORTH SEA.
The Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway
Company's steamer Wakefield has arrived at Great
Grimsby from Hamburg. She will make no more voyages
until the blockade of the North German ports is
raised by the French. On her outward passage
it appears that the Wakefield was boarded
by one of the ships of the French squadron; a
French officer warned the commander of thp Wakefield
that the Elbe would be finally closed on the 25th of
August, and then left, wishing him "bon voyage." The
Wakefield reports that part of the blockading fleet was
ying at anchor near Heligoland, while the remaining
French ships of war were cruising off the mouth of the
Elbe. A large number of Prussian troops—many
thousands—passed through Hamburg last week for the
seat of war. The Wakefield, in coming out of the Elbe,
passed one of the steamers of the General Steam
Navigation Company proceeding to Hamburg. The
English barque Pathfinder, of Swansea, from Peru for
Hamburg, with saltpetre, on approaching the Elbe was
boarded by an officer of a French blockading cruiser.
On the French officer finding that the cargo of the Path-
finder was contraband cf war he placed a prize crew on
board, intending to send the barque to Dunkirk. The
French officer, however, afterwards withdrew his men,
and ordered the Pathfinder to sail for England. She has
accordingly come to Grimsby to await the orders of her
owners.

It is rumoured in Lisbon that insubordination has mani-
fested itself amongst the troops at Madeira. The British
fleet, composed of eleven ironclads, is cruising off Lisbon

lle was born on the 4th of October, 1809, and married in
1830 the Princess Marianne, daughter of William, King
of Holland. The late prince was divorced in 1849, but
the King withheld his sanction until 1853, eight days after
it was granted he married, morganatically, the Countess
Rosalie de Hohenau, then 38 years of age.

THIS EVENING'S NEWS.

THE WAR.

MARCHING: OP THE CROWN
PRINCE ON PARIS WITH
150,000 MEN.

VERDUN SURROUNDED.

PREPARATIONS AT CHALONS,

PARIS, AUGUST 21.

Letters from Verdun to the 19th inst. state that
the Prussian advance guard was rapidly closing in
on Verdun, where no news had been received from
Marshal Bazaine
Verdun is in an imperfect state c f defence.
French accounts of the battles of Gravelotte, on
the 16th, say that the French lost 15,000 wounded,
without counting the dead.
The camp at Chalons is raised, and the troops are
being extended and have taken up positions along
the line.

The army of the Crown Prinee was near St.
Dizier, and it appeared that he intended to march on
Paris by the valley of the Aube. It is stated that
the army of the Prince is 150,000 strong.
The visit of the Emperor to Chalons on Friday is
believed to indicate the immineuc,3 of some great
movement. It is stated that Bazaine's army is under
the guns of Metz, and that Marshal M'Mahon is
executing strategical movements, which Marshal
Bazaine will support at the proper moment.
The Public states that yesterday Marshal Bazaine
received ammunition and provisions, of which he was
in need.

Other information states that the Prussians had
cut Bazaine's communications with Verdun. The
Prussians have occupied the station of Meyiers
between Metzand Thionville.

The Siecle says that the time for illusions is passed,
and the Parisians must accept the idea of a siege.
Paris is about to become the bulwark of the national
liberty and independence.
PARIS, Aug. 22.—The French official journal of this
morning, says :—" No news having been received
by the Government from the army of the Rhine for
two days in consequence of the interruption of tele-
graphic communications, it is thought that the plan
resolved upon by Marshal Bazain• has not yet suc-
ceeded. The heroic conduct of our soldiers in the
different encounters against very superior numbers
of the enemy gives hope of the ultimate success of the
Operations. The enemy's scouts have appeared at St.

An official decree, dated2lst August, prohibits the
exportation and transport of all kinds of cattle, meal'
and alimentary farinaceous substances, and all kinds
of bran and forage over the sea frontierfrom Dunkirk
to St. Valery.

FURTHER DETAILS OF THURSDAY'S
BATTLE.
PRUSSIAN OFEICIAL ACCOUNT.

BERLIN, AUGUST 22, 11 A.M.

In the battle of the 18th inst. the following troops
Were principally engaged :—The Royal Guard, and
the 2nd, 7th, Bth, 9th, and 12 Army Corps. The
3rd and 10th Army Corps were in reserve, of whom
Only small detachments took part in the ac-
tion, which was principally carried on by
the artillery. The whole army of the enemy
Occupied a position equal to a fortress, with
the sole exception of the Corps of Marshal M'Mahon,
and two divisions of General Failly. At nightfall
all the heights had been stormed and captured by
Our troops. The losses cannot, as yet, be even ap-
proximately estimated. The battle lasted from noon
till nine p.m. Several thousand prisoners were taken.

SMUGGLING.

Time was when one of the stock subjects of
romances was the bold smuggler, whose ferociousness
of character was only equalled by the hideous ugli-
ness of his physiognomy. But the world has
changed, and free trade and strong Governments
have put an end to those bold and daring spirits who
were the terror of the coast, and who frequently
added murder to their illicit trade. In a very mild
form, however, the trade still exists, although the
persons who are connected with it would form but
sorry heroes for a blood and murder three volume.
romance. Spirits, cigars, and tobacco are the staple
articles to which the gentry who travel between
London and llamburgh devote their attention. The
Board of Customs have no ground for supposing that
smuggling is on the increase, but in London during
the year 1869 the number of cases brought before
the authorities was much larger than in 1868. In
some instances the cigars and tobacco attempted to
be smuggled were of some bulk, and the most in-

genious modes of hiding were resorted to for the pur-
pose of deceiving the Custom House officials.

THE BATTLE OF THE BRUSHES.

We have had an international pugilistic match,
an international boat race, and an international
yacht race, and London is now threatened with some-
thing more awful to contemplate than all these
combined. A gentleman who considers himself ill-

used, because the Academy will not exhibit his
pictures, has challenged the whole world to paint a
subject with him against time, and, with real
American plrck, the "tallest " nation in the universe
has promised a competitor. As the time selected for
this contest in art is rapidly approaching, and no
American has yet put in an appearance, tears are
entertained that the latest piece of sensationalism
may fail. In order that the lovers of this peculiar
kind of esthetic culture may not be baulked of their
enjoyment, the English hero proposes to paint his
picture against time. It will be a curious exhibition,
and may well form the subject of one of Mr. Rus-
kin's next lectures at Oxford on the progress of art
in England.

BOATING ACCIDENT.

On Saturday afternoon a three-ton pleasure boat, con-
taining Mr. Gwatkin, coach-builder, Mrs. Gwatkin, and
Miss Trudgeon, all of Newport, Monmouth ; Miss Gwen-
nap, of Burgan ; a boy named Keen and. Captain Binney,
of Penzance, was returning from St. Michael's Mount to
Penzance. It had scarcely reached half way
when a puff of wind upset the boat. Mr. John St.
Aubyn, M.P., and children, with Mr. Wriothesley Wing-
field, were sailing near the spot in Sir Edward St. Aubyn's
barge. Six oars were instantly put on, and the barge
reached the spot in a few minutes. Keen
could swim, and was picked up. Mr. Gwatkin
and Captain Binney were dead. Mrs. Gwatkin
and Miss Trudgeon were insensible, but were afterwards
restored. Miss Gwennap went down with the boat, and
could not be found.

KOSSUTH IN HIS OLD AGE.

Some months ago the Boston Lyceum Bureau commis-
sioned a celebrated . lecturer to travel through Europe
until he found Itossuth, and as it was reported that he
was poor, to offer him a series of lucrative engagements
with lyceums in the United States. . The Boston Journal
quotes from an interesting letter just received from
the gentleman referred to, dated Geneva, July 18 :
" I hasten to report the execution of the com-
mission which you entrusted to me. . . . In a
retired quarter of the Royalty-forsaken city of Turin,
piazza Cavour, over a humble wine tavern, I found the
lonely Magyar—a mild, sedate, rather dignified-looking
gentleman of apparently 60 years of age, whose demean-
our, though grave, exhibitt4l much affability and courtesy.
When I had laid your proposition before him, and con-
veyed an assurance of the delight which his acceptance
of it would afford the Republic, he expressed his deep re-
gret that it was beyond his power to entertain it, averring
that he had retired entirely from public life, and was now
a recluse from worldly affairs. -To this, as a rejoinder, in
order to remove any impression that a visit, such as was
proposed to America, would involve his interference in
or contact with political matters, I described to him the
character and organization of American lyceums, and
the work done by the Boston Lyceum Bureau for them,
chewing that the discourse you desired from him would
require only his views upon some social or literary topic,
apart from the-atmosphereor politics• al tog e
added likewise, that while gratifying and instructing
others, it would scarcely fail to be a subject of intense
interest to him to have an opportunity of comparing the
America of his day with that of the present, and of ob-
serving what 20 years could do in the Great Republic.
He then warmed in conversation, and said :—" I dislike
giving you a cold negative, but I am not the man I was ;
I have had heavy domestic afflictions ; I want nerve, and
as for addressing a number of people, I have almost for-
gotten what public speaking was. I am in truth a change-
ling. Were Ito go anywhere, it would be to America.'
But, he added, ' why want me ? Are you not a nation of
orators ?' But,' I said, none, Signor Kossuth, such as
you.' I thentouched upon the delicate ground of pecuniary
considerations, and he immediately observed : I have
very little money, but I have very few wants, and I am
content.' Will nothing move you, Signor ?' I said. I
repeat," he added, " were I to go anywhere it would be
to the grandest country in the world, your America ; but
I think, from the sample before me, you can do without
Kossuth.' Oh ! spare my blushes but I am a faithful
witness, and he had to pay a compliment in return for
mine. The upshot, however, was his emphatic determina-
to speak in public no more unless duty to his own
country demanded it. He requested me to say, how-
ever, that he felt highly flattered by the invitation and
grateful for the consideration regarding his circum-
stances.

IiEINERAL TROUHU'S PROOLAM,A.TION.

General Trochu has wristen a letter to the 'lmps
explaining a passage in his proclamation, in which
he recommended the people to take justice into their
own hands, as applicable only to plunderers who,
in the event of a siege, would take advantage of the
absence of the public force on the ramparts.

In Friday's sitting of the Legislative Body, M.
Jules Ferry's proposal to authorise the private manu-
facture of arms was referred to a committee.

REVIEW BY THE EMPEROR AT CHALONS.
The Official Journal contains the following:—
" CAMP DE CHALONS, AUG. 20 (EvENDTG.)
" The Emperor visited several army corps yester-
day on horseback, and was everywhere surrounded
by the soldiers, who demanded to be allowed to
march against the enemy."

PROCLAMATJON OF GENERAL TROCHU.

General Trochu has issued a proclamation to the
National Guard and. the Army of Paris, express-
ing confidence in the future. General Trochu
says :—" You will restore, by your energetic
efforts, the fortune of the French arms, in case Paris
should be besieged. Never has there existed a more
splendid opportunity to demonstrate that a long
series of prosperity and power has not enervated the
public manners and the manhood of the country."
The proclamation points to the glorious exam-
ple of the Army of the Rhine, which has fought
against threefold odds in heroic struggles, and con-
cludes by recommending the Army Jf Paris to ob-
serve a rigorcus discipline and maintain a dignified
attitude before the people,.
