THE BATTLE OF SAARBRUCK.

ot The Journal Officiel of Thursday evening publishes
General Froissard's report of Tuesday's engagement.
ro The French loss was six killed, and 67 wounded. The
is French took 14 prisoners, and the Prussian loss is roughly
estimated at 250 killed and wounded. It appears beyond
doubt that the deadly effects of the mitrailieuse at long
range produced a great impression on the morale of the
a E enemy.

The special correspondent of the Times says that a
trustworthy neutral spectator at Saarbruck gives these
details :—" The French made some prisoners. No guns
were lost. There were 40 men killed and 60 wounded.
The French numbered 20,000; the Prussians 6,000. By
Wednesday midday the French had not occupied the
town. The artillery decided the action. There was but
little infantry and no cavalry employed."

THE ATTITUDE OF RUSSIA.
The Moscow Gazette says :—"The actual war will have
most important consequences, that will bear in the highest
degree upon Russia. Not only do the consequences affect
our political situation in Europe, but also our home affairs.
All our questions are still pending, and all the false positions
created by our political shortcomings will be placed in full
light. To-day the solution of these questions depends
°ll us ; to-morrow, whichever may be the Power
Which shall accgre the preponderance in Central Europe,
they may possibly slip from our hands and create serious
eUlbarrassments to us. The Polish lie and the German
he, which can disappear to-day for ever, if we like to
face them seriously and nearly, could become real
forces soon after. At the present moment, much more
than at any other time, Russia is in need of the
action of able and honest men ; more than ever, she wants
her national politics to become the truth. It is high
time that our vaccillating policy should cease on our
frontier ; the time has arrived to apply energetic mea-
sures to put an end to the German lie as well as to the
Polish one."

RUSSIA AND BELGIUM.
The Journal de St. Petersburg contains the
following c—
" Thursday being the fête-day of the Empress, there
was a reception of the members of the Diplomatic Body.
On the Belgian Charge D'Affaires being presented, the Em-
peror and Empress expressed to him in gracious terms their
thanks for the cordial welcome given to the Grand Duke
-Vladimir by the Royal Family of Belgium during his
stay at Brussels. Their Majesties said they perceived
therein a fresh proof of the friendly feelings which the
Belgian nation and its Sovereign had ever mani-
fested towards Russia, and which could but increase
the respect and consideration acquired throughout Russia
and Europe by a young Sovereign, who, following in his
fathea's footsteps, had been able, with so much wisdom,
t° uphold the position of his country, by basing the rights
guaranteed to it by treaties on the strict observance of the
duties imposed upon him.
