Ertract Of letter from Paris to a
gentleman IN this city, dated

April Sth, 1914
" As vessel is on the point Of depart
ing from Bordeaux to the United States
of America, hasten to inform you of the
late great and splendid victory which his
majesty the Emperor has gained We have
beheld enter cur capital the Emperors of
Germany and Russia, and the King of Prus

all their suite, composed of twenty thou
sand men, among whom are great many
officers of distinction. since the llth of
February last to the present day, the
Emperor has been heaping taureLs on his
head OF all the barbarous enemies. that
have entered France trust that not one
may return to tell of their defeat, or of our
victory. Our young men of the military
schools can hardly be restrained from 60
ing out to meet their foes. If you We're
to see them, yoo would imagine they were
veterans.
Is The thirteen strong places which the
enemy have left in their rear have been
doubIy garrisoned, and an army Of $4,000
men will cut off their retreat. The army
of the brave Augereau, who is near Ey-
ons. is marching rapidly towards them
They will soon find themselves surround
ed by 10000 men-alI that France posses
ses, in choice troops. The Hotel des In
valides has been adorned with above one
hundred standards of our enemies since the
commencement of this terrible campaign. :"
The above extract is given, exactly as we
found it, to the impartial public. The con
tents of the letter from which it is drawn
are of so great & important nature, that
the strongest proofs of its authenticity can
alone warrant our belief The James Mon
roe, arrived at Savannah, must have sailed
from France on the It'll or 18th Of April,
to coincide with the date of the 9Th of A
pril, Paris, which the letter bears This
IS congruous enough. But whether there
should not have been other sources, of SINH
lar intelligence, to people in America by
the same arrival, is another question We
offer it without comment
