TREATMENT OF GARIBALDIANS IN
FRANCE.

The Garibaldian volunteers in the service of France
who have transmitted to their friends at home an account
of the manner in which they have been received, and the
provisions made for their equipment, have certainly given
no great encouragement by their reports to other
Garibaldians who might feel inclined to follow
their example. A long letter from the Vosges,
published in yesterday's Bazar, narrates that on the 18th
instant, many of the Garibaldians there were without
shoes, and very badly off for other articles of clothing,
and for food. The local authorities are all, more or less,
under the influence of priests, and the priests represent
the Garibaldians to the country people as instruments of
the Evil One, whose friendship is oven more perilous
to the souls than the hostility of the Prussians
can be to the bodies of the French. Then the Francs-

tireurs, with whom they are incorporated, criticise all
Garibaldi's commands, have not the most elementary
notion of discipline, and are altogether disorderly and
disorganize(L Now the Garibaldian standard of
order and organization is not in a military point
of view an extremely high one ; from which readers
may safely infer that the discipline of the Francs-
tireurs is bad enough in all conscience. Still, the
Garibaldians have never been wanting in respect and
obedience to their renowned leader, and it must be truly
painful to those whom attachment to him alone has
attracted to the ranks of the Franc-tireurs, to find that

he does not possess amongst them the authority which as
a Condottiere he has ever wielded over his followers.

In truth, a very ugly story, and one reflecting little
credit, if true, on the Provisional Government of
France, has obtained currency amongst the G-aribaldians
in the Vosges. When Garibaldi first offered his services
to the Provisional Government they were refused. Then
Republican movements broke out, and insurrectionary
attempts were apprehended at Nice, in which the name
of Garibaldi was put forward, with or without his
consent it might be difficult to determine, as the
symbol and war cry of Nizzard independence. It was at
this stage of matters that the Provisional Government,
changing its first decision, accepted Garibaldi's services,

fostered and flattered his illusions of becoming the
champion of universal democracy, but in the
meantime induced him to withdraw openly from
all connection with the movement in Nice, which really
oived its origin to him, and which had always looked for-
ward to him for • assistance ; in a word, the Garibaldian
co-operation in the Vosges is evidently regarded by the
Garibaldians there as au artful dodge, simply designed to
counteract and neutralise any possible Garibaldian move-
ment at Nice.—Gurrespondentq the Daily Yew&

CRITICAL POSITION OF THE ARMY OF
THE LOIRE.

Writing from Tours, on the 29th October, the cor-
respondent of the Standard says : Viewing the course
of march pursued by the advancing German Army of the
East, an uneasy suspicion is beginning to be felt as to its
destination. It would seem that instead of marching
south for Lyons and St. Etienne, which were
the presumed objects of its march, its aim is to march
through Dijon to Nevers, and thence to Bourges,
where it would effect a junction with the army of General
Ton der Tann. . This would, I need not say, alter the
whole position and prospect 4of the campaign: It is im-
possible to overrate the importance of this question, and
we shall look with extreme anxiety for the next telegrams.
If these German armies succeed in effecting a junction,
the Army of the Loire will be considerably outnumbered
and overmatched, for the army of General Werder is
estimat.'d at 120,005 men; all hope of a movement for the
relief of Paris would be at an end, and our position here
would become precarious in the extreme. One thing
is evident. If the army of General Werder is
really marching in this direction the most ener-
getic measures must be instantly taken. Engineer
officers should bo at once despatched to have the
bridges across the Saone mined, troops should be sent off
to defend the passages, and commissioners instantly dis-
patched to see that the edict with respect to the wasting of
the country and the driving away of all animals, carts, &c.,
and the burning of forage, be thoroughly and effectively
carried out. The gener:.l of the Army of the Rhone
should at once send round by rail to Bourges as many
troops as he can spare, and should be directed, if the
whole army now opposed to him moves east, to march
with 50,000 of his best troops up through the Vosges in
the direction of Metz. As to the Army of the Loire, it
must issue from its present attitude of inactivity.
Its only hope of success will be to crush Von der
Tann bef we General Werder can come up. Unfortu-
nately both armies are greatly scattered. The army of the
Loire may be said to extend from Motto Beuvron, where
its headquarters and main body are encamped, on the east,
to Le Mans, if not to Alencon, on the west. This enor-
mous extension of line was necessitated by the extent
of the line of the Germans, who from Nogent threaten
Alencon and Le Mans, while their other column equally
threaten Vendome, Tours, Blois, and Bourge s. Bourges
and Alencon are almost equally important points.
Alencon would entirely cut the railway communication
between the north and the south of France, Bourges
would almost interrupt that between east and west.
The Army of Brittany any! the West, which will, it is
calculated, be ready to take the field in three weeks at the
latest, was destined to xnarch, via Le Mans, towards
Paris ; that of the Loire would have then advanced north

from Bourges, and that of the north either east from Rouen
tor south from Amiens. This at least was, it is supposed, the
general plan of the caMpaign, and I know for certain that
he Army of the Loire was not intended to make any
move for some little time. It will probably be another
day or two before we know the real aim of the German
army. Indeed, until he has taken Dijon his future route
will be uncertain. After he leaves that' place there will
be no longer any doubt upon the subject.

THE Counr.— Owing to the indisposition of her,
Royal Highness Princess Louise, the departure of ;Her
Majesty the Queen, who Was to have left Barmoral next
Friday, has been postponed for afew days:- Her Majesty
is now expected to arrive at Windsor Castle on the 9th of
Noveniber. •
At a special meeting of the Portsmouth Town Council,
held yesterday, it was unanimously resolved to present an
address of congratulltion to her Majesty on the approach-
ing marriage of the Princess Louise.
The Steam Navigation Company, Marc Fraissinet, phre
et file, will from the Ist of November establish a regular
line of steamships from Marseilles to the Ports of Syria.
There are to be departures on the Ist and 15th of each
month. Thus the place left vacant by the Messageries
Imp4riales Company has been promptly taken.
It is believed that a ship has been lost, with all
hands, on a reef of rocks in St. Ives Bay, Cornwall. Some
wreck, bearing the name Geneva, was picked up, and this
has been identified as part of a vessel of that name belong-
ing to Liverpool. She sailed on the Bth inst. for St.
John's, N. 8., and had, on board a crew of 22 men, of whom
no tidings have been heard.
