POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—Tms DAY.

A BRUTAL HUSBAND AND A FORGIVING WIFE.—
Samuel Rumbelow, described as a labourer, of Carrier-
street, Bloomsbury, was brought up at the Marlborough
Police-court, charged with violently assaulting his wife.
The complainant, who was very poorly clad, and had a
black eye and cut face, and whose hand was also injured,
said that on Saturday night she was with the prisoner,
her husband, in Compton-street, when he struck her
several times in the face with his fist and kicked her, but
she did not wish to hurt him. The magistrate sent the
fellow to prison for two months, and ordered the wife
protection.

A BRUTAL FATHER.—John Taylor, a labouring man,
living at 4, Robert Street, Chelsea, was charged on a
warrant, at the Westminster police court, with assaulting
Thomas, his 50n,12 years of age. The prisoner, according
to the evidence, has no wife, and has been in the habit of
beating his children with a broom and strap, so that the
youngest, aged 8, was taken under the protection of a
neighbour. He was in the habit of putting towels in their
mouths to prevent their crying out, so that the neighbours
had few opportunities of discovering his brutality. On
Thursday last he was seen by the neighbours to beat the
boy with the broom. The defendant said the boy robbed
him and spent his school money, but the magistrate said
such cruelty could not be allowed. The prisoner was
ordered to find bail for good behaviour for six months.
SMUGGLING Robert Cockburn, the steward of the ship
Clarence, lying in the East India Dock, surrendered on
bail before Mr. Lushington at the Thames Police•couit,
charged with smuggling 371 b. of cigars. Mr. Collins, an
officer of Customs, searched the vessel on her arrival at
this port last Friday, and on removing some bottles in the
steward's pantry found below them many bottles of wine and
spirits, and under the bottles, straw covering several boxes
of cigars. In all there were 371 b. of cigars, and the value
and duty amounted to £95. The prisoner was brought
before Mr. Paget on Saturday and admitted to bail, He
now 'surrendered, and the Crown, represented by Mr.
Beverley, of the Custom's solicitors, now sued by infor-
mation for a penalty of £lOO, which the magistrate in-
flicted, and in default of payment six months' imprison-
ment.

GERMANY, FRANCE, AND ENGLAND.

Time was, says the John Bull, when England was
united as one man against the common foe of England
and of Europe, and of European liberty. Is it so
now ? With the fearful divisions among us—political
dissent against the Church, labour against capital, em-
ployer against employer, Republicans against Constitu-
tionalists--it is not easy to discover any common object
or principle around which Englishmen could be rallied.
None can say whether the assailants or de-
structive party in each case would not hail a
foreign invader a s a friend rather than foe—at all
events, regard such an event with indifference. God
grant that it may be otherwise, and that when the his-
tory of the nineteenth century shall be written England
will not have been put to the blush by the example of
Gtermany and Prance ! Meanwhile, let us pray that the
thought of such a contingency may even now soften pre-
Bent asperities, and lead men to ask themselves whether
they would act and speak as they now do were a foreign
enemy on our shores', It is indeed an awful thetagi*,o4ll
nothing but a DiVine judgment litze this will ftAl'ar
Englishmen to a sense of blessings God has poured upon
them, and the ungrateful return they have met with.

THE GERMAN ARMIES.

The Economist,
ign
camra,
says theremarki hengoade of h
n the extraordinary
Prussian
raordinar
y rapidity
of the columns
only crossed the frontier on the 4th ; the first defeats were
inflicted by their vanguard two days after ; eight days
after that the engagements at Metz to intercept the
retreat of the French army and shut it up in the
fortress began, occupying five days ; and ten
days after the investment of Metz the siege of
Paris may have begun. Less than four weeks' time has
actually been taken to destroy in part the field army of
France, shut up the remainder in a fortification, and con.
duct a mighty army a march of 200 miles to the French
capital. This bare statement of facts shews the peril of
France—the abyss, to use M. Gambetta's phrase, towards
which it is rolling—but the more narrowly we examine
the situation, the means and reserves of the combatants,
and the projects attributed to the French chiefs, the
more is our impression confirmed. Apparently, there is
no limit to the strength which Germany is exerting.
Where so little is known, it is impossible to say what
numbers the King has with the standards ; but assuming
that no more has been done than to send forward two
new corps, and keep the others up to the full war footing
according to the Prussian plan of filling up vacancies, we
can only come to the couclipion that an enormous host is
pressing forward to Paris. Grant that four corps,
as is said, are left to keep Bazaine in Metz—that is to
say, about 140,000 men, which is certainly a
force largely in excess of the one enclosed,
and occupies an entrenched position— the Crown Prince
will still have eight corps with him, exclusive of the
Bavarian corps, or between 250,000 and 300,000 men. We
are inclined to think that this may be under the mark,
and that if the force is less it is because less is needed.
The one thing which people should remember is that the
effective German armies, not including the Landwehr at
all, are upwards of 90,000 men ; and with such armies all
set free for the field, it can be no exaggeration to reckon
that, notwithstanding all the losses they may have sus-
tained, between 500,000 and 600,000 men are now west of
the Moselle.

THE BEGINNING OF THE END.

It has hardly an exaggeration to say that for the present.
the French Empire has ceased to exist.. Napoleon's
attempt to appease an angry and threatening populace
by sacrificing an unlucky General and a subservient
Ministry is not successful. The people look upon
him as the cause of all their humiliation. 'They de-
nounce him openly. They have no hesitation in asking
his abdication. He has no longer the direction of the
country. No reference to him is found in the debates on
the situation except a request that he will return to Paris
and await the people's pleasure. The Corps Legislatif
threatens to resolve itself into a .National Conven-
tion, assumes the entire responsibility of the
national defence, and- already contemplates the
idea of taking the sovereign power away from an
incompetent ruler, and intrusting it to a military
dictator who shall be charged, as the Roman consuls were
of old in hours of extraordinary peril, to see that no evil
happen to the commonwealth. The Prince Imperial has
fled to London, and Napoleon, sick as he dares not
leave the camp. Practically his authority is at an end,
and it is not easy to see how he can recover it,
for a victory which might quell the dangerous excite-
ment of the Paris populace would redound not to
his honour, but to his generals. The Emperor has
proved conclusively his capacity as a soldier, and upon
what, except military renown, can g Bonaparte dynasty
rest ? If fortune should once more smile upon him, he
may hold yet a while longer the sceptre which he stole in
1851; but even the army must have lost faith in him
now, and he has no hold whatever upon power except in
the dissensions of parties and the difficulty of finding his
successor. If France had one great general, approved
great by success, Napoleon would have to abdicate to-
day. —New York. Tribune.

THE WAR.

DANGEROUS SITUATION AT PARIS.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

FRIDAY.

The position here is becoming too critical to admit of
much further tension. So great are the evils caused by
the want of a defined Government, that some attempt to
supply the deficiency will surely be made if the news of
another reverse comes. The Emperor has not abdicated ;
he does not reign ; the Empress receives not the slightest
attention from any quarter ; and the Ministry, composed
entirely of Imperalist adherents, is embarrassed with its
double task of providing efficiently for the defence of the
country, and of giving heed to the requirements of dynastic
interests. The nation has no guides to whom
it can look for adequate aid in this crisis. A good Parlia-
ment might supply the want, it might exercise authority
and command respect ; but it has never been the policy of
Cxsarism to have a good Parliament. The dummies elected
by administrative influence did the work of Imperialism
better than any independent intellects could have done it ;
but a Chamber whose members were selected chiefly on
account . %capacity _ is not equal
to the present crisis. Called to exercise paramour. t influence

ITALIAN VIEWS OF THE WAR.

The Turin Gazette does not think the war will
have an altogether prejudicial effect on the future
of France, and while it deplores the losses in Lor-
raine and Alsace, it believes that the Germans will
eventually be the means of destroying those falla-
cious systems which have too long oppressed that
noble nation and will enable it to enter on a course
or progress at once effective and durable. France has
for some time been in fetters, and though she
has agitated herself and mads the most violent
eflbrts, she has never succeeded in gaining her point
or making any lasting acquisition. Whether her
government assumed the form of kingdom, republic,
or empire, the result has been about the same, but
now that the whole mechanism of society has been
disarranged we may hope, after an interval of quiet,
to see a new France develop itself with surprising
rapidity. Looking at things in a comprehensive
sense, we may consider that Germany is now ren-
dering back to France the sharp but salutary lesson
she received from her at the beginning of the cen-
tury. Was it not the invasion of Prussia by
France, and the many humiliations inflicted by the
First Empire, that originated the idea of nationality
and of a united Germany ?

OUR HOME FORCES.

The Spectator suggests a means of immediately in-
creasing the strength of our regular army. What, it
stequipoplialumm t fratoarde! ..g that Militia regii
went already farly.. ed and exercised, and
Volunteer companies So-and-So, already good riflemen,
shall be, while the enemy is on British soil, amalgamated
with her Majesty's First Regiment of the Line ? Would
that law be resisted by the bayonet ? Because if not, her
Majesty's First Regiment, supposed to be one thousand
strong, would really be three thousand strong, amply
officered, with a regular system of supply, regular com-
missariat, regular means of transport, and filled with men
at least as good as any of those with whom the Govern-
inent of the island has for eight hundred years succeeded,
sooner or later, in defeating any enemy opposed to it.
Our contention is,, that pending any plan for the general
reform or thorough reorganisation of our army system—
which fails mainly because it is designed to secure two in-
compatible objects at once, firstly, to protect England,
and secondly, to keep the rich at the top -of the army—it
is perfectly possible and easy, if our people have only
ordinary patriotism and self-denial, so to arrange that
we shall, without enormous expenditure, without a mili-
tary revolution, and without any strain upon our indus-
trial resources, have at disposal 300,000 very fine troops,
very highly efficient, and very amply supplied. We are
not saying that is .enough, agreeing as we
do with Lord Elcho that half a million would be a
better number to assume as the necessary force. We are
not saying that the scheme we suggest is anything but a
make-shift, believing, as we do that to compel every man
iu these islands to give one year of his life to the educa-
tion of the army, to a thorough training in arms,
gymnastics, and obedience, would in its ultimate results
be worth a civil war. Our simple contention is, that im-
perfect as our our organisation may be, antiquated as our
system of selecting officers is, we can, even now, this
year, if the War Minister will but do his duty, set on foot
a force double in number Ihe largest force with which on
these shores we can by possibility have to contend ; that
if Mr. Cardwell, or his successor, will but see that the
regiments yoted by Parliament are realities and
thoroughly ready—a matter of strict duty and common
honesty ; and make the artillery voted by Parliament
efficient—a matter of a few score thousand pouuds ; and
be sure of his militiamen—a matter of trouble and inspec-
tlon ; and give the volunteers breech-loaders—a question
of energy and expense, he has already, now, here before
him the material of a magnifignt home army.

EFFECT OF TIIE WAR ON EMIGRATION.

The American papers remark on the disastrous
effect of the European war upon German emigra-
tion. The emigrants from other nations proceed for
the most part to the cities, but the Germans gene-
rally resort to the West, where they contribute
greatly to the wealth and prosperity of the States
which welcome them as the precursors of progress.
The war which has so unexpectedly broken out has
thus become a positive calamity, for not only are
financial schemes disalTanged, Int t the sudden stoppage
of the stream of so industrious a population has
produced disastrous consequences. gonte of the pro-
jected German colonies had promised to add new
branches of manufacture and commerce to the
States. One of them, composed of wood-cutters from
the Black Forest, had made arrangements to supply
the German railways with timber from the oak
forests of Michigan, and by this means the State
would have maintained a direct commerce with
Europe through the- Welland Canal and the River
St. Lawrence. Other colonies were to furnish
labourers for the railroad lines. The immediate loss
of men and money from those causes will
be severely felt by the entire West, and
growth will be retarded in many districts.
As a compensation for such serious losses the Ameri-
cans believe that when the waste of war has been
followed by augmented taxes, there will be a greater
inclination than ever to seek relief in enligration.
They expect under those circumstances that the
United States will realise the profits of emigration
from Continental Europe to a more considerable
extent than has been ever before known.

LONDON, MONDAY, AUGUST 29, 187(.

THE collapse of our military system at the com-
mencement of the Crimean War was as nothing
to the collapse of the military system of France at
the beginning of the war now raging in Champagne.
Any comparison between the two incidents is denied
to us, of course, at the very outset, by the obvious
consideration of the exceedingly simple fact that
England, from her insular position, is essentially a
maritime nation, whereas Franco is essentially and
intensely a military nation, has, in fact, .until now,
during these last two centuries, occupied the very fore-
most place among the great military nations of the
Continent. Yet, retaining this high position—this
one might almost say, supreme position, as Me nation
of soldiers among the whole family of Europeans—
the French military system at the outbreak of this
Franco-German war was broken down utterly, and all
but crushingly. The green coffee berries served out
to.our men at the opening of the Crimean campaign,
the hideous muddle and confusion at Balaldava, the
slough of despond seven miles in length that
lay between that land-locked harbour on
the Euxine, and the British camp and its entrench-
ments in front of Sebastopol—all this put together
was as nothing compared with the collapse, the com-
plete and absolute collapse, of the organisation of
nearly every department of the Imperial army, when
the forces of NAPOLEON, such as they were—not as
they appeared on paper, but as they wore in reality—
were first gathered together along the borders
.of the
Rhine Provinces, between Sierck and Sarreguemines,
Marshal LEBCEUF had been Minister of War, Marshal
LEBCEUF was Major-General of the Army of the
Rhine then with colours flying and trumpets sound-
ing, about to cross over to the right bank of the
Saar, and after that to the right bank of the Rhine,
to the cry of a Berlin! and to the choral refrain
alternately, of ROUGET DE L'lsLE's " Marseillaise,"
and Of ALFRED DE MUSSET'S "Noun l'avons en
votre Rhin Allemande !" For the discipline of the
Imperial army, for its efficiency, for its completeness,
Marshal LEBCEUF therefore was ministerially and
professionally in his capacity at once as a soldier and
as an administrator, personally and individually re-
sponsible, and we all know how he is shown by the
glare of many disastrous events to have acquitted
himself of that responsibility. Regiments were there
only nominally, many of them. There were the
skeletons of battalions. Pay bad been drawn
for those defenders of Fiance who were
not there, and that pay had gone into
other pockets than those for which it was in-
tended. The Commissariat was a monstrous sham
and delusion. The soldiers of the Second Empire
were apparently expected to do in 1870 as the
soldiers of the Republic had been compelled, by
necessitv, to do in 1790, when they were first led to
victory by young General NAPOLEON BONAPARTE—
ey were expected, seemingly, to bivouac
without bread and brandy, to march without shoes,
to cross rivers without bridges, and so forth, accord-

and shot the same night.

The Figaro gives an account of two thousand arrests
which it says have been made in Paris. They belong for

the most part to the lowest classes of society, who
prowl about the barriers and support themselves by
carrying on the meanest trades. Some important dis-

coveries have however been made by this seizure.
Compromising papers were found upon four individuals
who appear to be German spies. A fifth, a Pole, from
the Grand Duchy of Baden, was the bearer of £4OO
in English and German gold. Among the prisoners
are two hundred women. They were taken
to the Conciergerie amid the shouts of the
spectators. They make a great disturbance in their
calls, but the gaolers turn a deaf ear to their remon-
strances and threats. The orders which have been issued
by the military authorities are of a formal character, and
their object is to rid Paris of men and women without

regular employment, who conceal many traitors among
their ranks. Prussia seeks her agents in the lowest

haunts, saaci it Is well, therefore, to turn out these haunts

proverb, is wiser than Voltaire, and therefore
how much wiser than Persigcny, Rouher, or
011ivier. While things went well with Bonapartism it
might have things all its own way, but every failure—and
failures were many—had to be instantly followed by some
concession, real or pretended, to the principles of liberty.

least, overruling Imperialism, and acting for the mo-

fruits of the Imperial system ? Freedom of speech re-
pressed, the newspapers put into chains, and maintenance
of the Pope's temporal sovereignty, the Mexican expedi-
tion, the ignoble efforts to impede the consolidation of
Germany, the wretched broken down scheme of army
organization, the present war, and the Prussians march-
ing to Paris. This is what Imperialism has done
with France. This, or something like it, according to
degree or kind, is what such principles of government
must do for any country which submits to them. The
interests of liberty, and even the interests of civilisa-
tion, must alike make the world view, with a melancholy
satisfaction, the practical discomfiture and refutation of
the Bonapartist theory.

LIMITED LIABILITY.

"A Victim of Modern Finance " writes to the
Times stating what appears to him a very hard case.
He is a shareholder in the Imperial Mercantile As-
sociation (Limited), having bought 20 shares in
April, 1866, the month before the company failed.
From the date of the unlucky May which followed,
be has been periodically called upon to pay calls of £5O
or £lOO, which he finds it no easy matter to do out of
a salary of £l5O, having besides a family to
support. The liabilities of the Association exceeded
five millions, of which after four years liquidation
there now remains some £200,000 to pay. The
grievance of which the " Victim " complains is that,
while the affairs of the company are still in this
painful position, it is proposed to appropriate £5,000
from its funds as compensation to a committee of
five shareholders and creditors who were appointed
to watch the liquidation, but whose labours have of
course served to protect their own interests in com-
mon with those of other creditors. As the five
gentlemen in question are all wealthy men, the
unhappy clerk is of opinion that they might very
well dispense with the bonus offered to them. As a
general rule it certainly appears desirable that liabili-
ties should be cleared off, and shareholders relieved
from pressure before rewards of the kind are given.
Such is specially the case when great distress exists

SPAIN AND THE WAR.

_
There is considerable excitement in Madrid over the
French defeat. The Republican party are prophesying a
speedy triumph, and their press are calling for the in-
stant proclamation of a republic in Spain. The Cortes
committee have decided by 9 to 5 not to convoke the
Cortes at present, in spite of the petition of Rios Rosas,
Topete, and others.

THE SITUATION IN PARIS.

The Paris correspondent of the Standard says :—` • The
situation of affairs in Paris is extremely serious. No
doubt the defeat of the army has excited' among all the
respectable classes an undoubted feeling of patriotism,
and the prevalent determination if unquestionably to take
up arms, and not lay them down until the enemy has
been expelled from the territory of France. But in the
tumultuous scenes that have taken place in Paris since
Saturday, it is impossible for those who are well ac-
quainted with the French capital not to detect the pre-
sence of large detachments of that army of rowdies
which is en permanence in and about Paris, and who
avail themselves of the present general effervescence to
try and bring about a row. It would also be idle to
deny, and dishonest to pietend to ignore, the fact that
even among what may be called the Conservative
class of the population, the mismanagement of the
war and the feebleness of the Government are exciting
great discontent. Without pretending to any knowledge
of strategy, they are intelligent enough to find out
for themselves that the distribution of the French army
in eight corps, all of them at such a distance from
each other as to be unable to afford themselves mutual
support, argues gross incompetency, whilst the inadequacy
of the commissariat arrangements is held to be disgrace-
ful to the men at the head of the Administration."

NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.
At the military depot in King-street, Westminster, the
non-commissioned officers are blisily engaged in enlisting
men for the Army Service Corps, the 60th Rifles, and
various other regiments. Before midday yesterday 200
strong and active looking young men had been enlisted and
passed by the military surgeons at the Horse Guards. The
greater number were carpenters, tailors, saddlers, journey.
men bakers, and shoemakers. Nearlyall these men have co m e
from Whitechapel and the east-end. No man was en-
listed for the Army Service Corps unless he had a trade
and was under sft. 7in. and above sft. 3in. in height. As
the day advanced, and it became known among the unem-
ployed of the working classes that the Government in-
tended to enlist 20,000 additional men for the army, me-
chanics and labourers came in greater numbers to the depot
than in the earlier part of the day. In the evening the
crowd outside the depot became so great that it was found
necessary to procure the assistance of the police in order
to regulate them. The officers remarked that the difficulty
of procuring men was now ended.

There was a further entry of men at Chatham Dockyard
on Tuesday—fitters and labourers. Since the augmentation
commenced about 150 additional workpeople have been
taken on at this dockyard, including women (for the
ropery), fitters, sailmakers, smiths, and labourers.

THE WEST INDIA CABLE.

The science of submarine telegraphy has made
such rapid progress that we are in the habit of
taking the success of these enterprises as a matter of
course. We hear that a fresh cable is to be laid
under the Atlantic, or the Indian Ocean, or among
rocky and indented shores, and we pay very little
heed to the news, expecting only to learn that
it has been triumphantly accomplished.
Such results are not always, however,
a mere matter of course, and are not attained with-
out great exertion and anxiety. Sir Charles Bright,
of Atlantic celebrity, has now on hand the most
difficult enterprise of the kind yet attempted. The
length of time required for the submarine work of
the West India cable is not of course so great as in
the Atlantic and Indian cables, but the task is really
more formidable. There are thirty-six shore ends,
and when completed it is to connect Cuba with
Jamaica and Panama, and with the major portion of
the West India Islands. The cable is divided into
2,955 nautical miles of deep sea cable, 130 miles of
intermediate, and 68 of shore ends, making altoge
ther 3,153 nautical miles, and 350 miles of land line.
The first part of the work connects Habana with
Batabano by a land line; thence a submarine cable
passes through Cienfugos to Cuba, from whence a
cable is laid to Morant Point, of tragic recollection, in
Jamaica. From Morant Point two cables will be
laid, the longest to Aspinwall, N.G.; the other to
Porto Rico and the South American coast, touching
at the principal islands. Six vessels, of which the
Dacia is the leader, are employed in the work. The
machinery of the Dacia is very massive, and the drum
is overhanging, driven by internal gearing. A steamer
has been specially fitted up for the task of laying the
shore ends, the most troublesome part of the
business.

FIELD DAY AT ALDERSHOT.

H.R.H. the Duke of Cambridge arrived at Aldershot
yesterday morning, accompanied by General Sii William
Knollys, G.C.8., Lieutenant-General Sir Hope Grant,
G.C.8., Colonel Herbert, C. 8., and Colonel Clifton,
A.D.C. The troops formed at 9.30, and on the arrival of
H.R.H. a sham fight on an extended scale took place.
The attacking army was underthe command of Lieutenant-
General Sir J. Yorke Scarlett, G.C.8., and consisted of
four regiments of cavalry, eleven battalions of infantry,
and thirty guns. The defending force was commanded by
Major-General Carey, C. 8., and consisted of one cavalry
regiment, four battalions of infantry, and twelve guns.
The troops were in excellent position at 12.15, when the
battle terminated. Each corps is to take up the position
it held at the close of the fight to-morrow morning at 8
o'clock when the engagement will be renewed, under the
observation of H.R.H. the Duke, who will remain at his
camp quarters for several days.

VISIT OF THE QUEEN TO THE ROYAL
YACHT SQUADRON.

The yachts belonging to the Royal Yacht Squadron
Club yesterday sailed in sub-divisions, under the flag
officers. They got under weigh at half-past two, and
followed the commander up Southampton Water. On
their return they were met at Callshott Castle by the
Alberta, with her Majesty on board. The royal yacht
accompanied them a short distance on their return, and
then proceeded for the Queen to view the forts at Spit-
head.

THE RE-ELECTION OF THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL.

The Conservatives of Plymouth have resolved not to
oppose the re-election of Sir Robert Collier. The interval
is too short, the nomination being fixed for Monday, to
allow of any candidate properly canvassing the borough.
There is no immediate eligible candidate, and many
leading men of the party are away from the neighbour-
hood. So it has been determined not to contest the
borough on this occasion.

THE NEUTR,IL POWERS•

The North German Gazette of last evening publishes a
semi-official note stating that an article contained in the
New Prussian Cross Gazette, and headed " The Neutrals,"
has, with justice, excited considerable surprise in political
circles. The North German Gazette adds that it is only
empowered to declare that the article in question, in
the views it expresses upon the attitude of the neutral
Powers is not a correct representation of either existing facts
or of the sentiments of the Prussian Government. The
article of the Cross Gazette herein alluded to contained the
following :—" Certain neutrals would now give a good deal
to have joined us in the war at its outbreak, but the
attitude of certain of the neutral Powers will always be
borne in mind by us Germans."
London, England, 1870-08-11

EXPORTING ARMS.

Our neutrality threatens to be a very troublesome
thing, and already we have incurred the fate of most
bystanders in a quarrel—we are getting abused by
both sides ! The exportation of coal has been the
chief cause of complaint hitherto, but we are now
getting into difficulties with respect to the export of
more direct material of war. Belgium has boldly
prohibited the transfer of arms and ammunition to
either belligerent, and as prince and people are well
aware how much depends upon the strict avoidance
of any cause of quarrel, it is possible this regu-
lation may be effectually enforced. In England
it will, we may fear, be more difficult to
maintain, and our enormous trade is certain
to find itself some channel or another for
reaching its objects. Still, the authorities are bound
to do what they can, and a critic, who considers the
English Government made a mistake in only con-
sulting the lawyers on international law during the
great struggle in America, strongly recommends our
Ministers to follow the spirited example of Belgium,
and without waiting to inquire what was done in
former and dissimilar times to do what is right in
present times, regardless of precedent.
London, England, 1870-08-11

TIM TWO ARMIES.

There will, concludes the Times, in all probability be a
battle ; for, were the Prussians to hesitate the French
would soon take the offensive. There must be a
battle, for, were even the Prussians to proceed
in accordance with the plan universally ascribed
to them of investing net; so DA to be able
either td starve the French iii it by cutting off their
communication or to leave the place in their rear
and steal a march upon Paris—the rrouch, in their
new Mood, would not fail to sally forth and meet them
in the open, a point which was by no means so clear three
or four days ago. It is more than probable that in such
a conflict the Prussians will still have a numerical advan-
tage: But hitherto it has not been by mere numbers
that they have prevailed. It was also, and principally,
by the art with which they brought the main strength
of their troops to bear on some vulnerable
point in the enemy's array. The French lay great stress
on the fact that they were fearfully outnumbered in every
engagement, their enemies being in some instances three
or four against one. But an army necessarily consists of
soldiers and generals, and the soldiers must needs pay the
penalty of the blunders made by their leaders. All the
skill of a general lies precisely in his power of combining
a concentration of superior forces at a given point so
as to render their onset irresistible. It was the wretched
generalship of the French Marshals, and the nature of
the narrcw and rugged mountain gorges iu which the
war was waged, that has hitherto befriended , the Prus-
sians. On a wider arid more unimpeded field, and by
better management, the French may have a better
chance. It was by delay, mainly, that the French
brought upon themselves the defeats of Wissembourg, For-
bach, and Woerth. An equal remissness on the part of the
Prussians may procure the French that " revenge " for
which they are calling so loudly. It is true we have no
means of judging what the Prussians are really about.
Their management has hitherto been admirable, and they
must be left to their own appreciation of opportunities.
The proof of the strategy is the victory, and whether it
was in the war against Anstria, or in this against France,
it is difficult to point out any encounter in which the
" Man in Spectacles " may be said to have been too quick
or too slow,
