Richmond, .aagust 9, 1915.

The bloody contest of Europe has com
menced. The ensanguined fields of BEL
GUM afford us another proof of the deter
nination of Great Britain to interfere in
the internal affairs Of nations. The Aus
TRANS, Russians, Prussians, &c. are mere
ly puppets, whom she can move at plea
sure; by merely touching the springs of her
invisible machinery. France has every
thing to contend for; she has to struggle
for her existence as nation, and to pre-
serve that inalienable right which she pos
ieesses, 10 common with all other nations,
of choosing her own form of government
and her own ruler. We are inclined 10 be
of the opinion, that should the Allies sue
ceed, France will be botted out from
amongst the nations, and that she will be
dIsmembered like SaxOny and Poland
These things are sufficient to nerve the
arm OF every true FreDchmaR with more
than mortal strength

Napoleon, to test the bravery of his troops.
and to shew to the British commander that
French troops, with Napoleon at their head.
are not so easily foiled as they were in
Spain under his generals. From his Lord
ships despatch, which is written with more
than his usual modesty, we infer, that this
IS drawn battle, and that if there has
been any advantage, it has been OH the size
OF Napoleon. No return of the loss of
either officers or privates of BIucher's and
the Netherland troops has been gwen

and thirteen, principally of the general and
field staff. We should not be surprized ON
learning that the aggregate loss of killed,
wounded and missing, of the Allied army,
to between thirty and forty Mox-

French bulletin of the action of the I7th.-
Accounts from France mention, that in the
two first battles, the Emperor beat Butcher,
