But now pduiO mdioTe-ftill about the Battle and
the Run, as they look in France.
Gen. Louis Napoleon, who happens TO be one OF
the best, if not the best-informed extant French
man in regard 70 American atiars-the course OF
which he studiOusly follows with the aid OF " own
correspondents" of his-this sensible military
man does not consider the defeat as anything very
strange or important, or at all decisive. Nor is he
nearly SO severe on the imperfectiOn OF our military
discipline and organization as are some clylllans
here AND at home. How it lies in the very nature
and necessity Of American things, and how 1t Is
likely to be only temporary, he explained TO Mar
shal Random and other military men whom he had
at breakfast the other morning at st. Cloud, with
notable fullness of knowledge and soundness OF
reasoning So at least am assured by discreet
American gentleman who should know; and assur-
ance of similar imperial opinions expressed on other
! occasions this week, comes TO me in a tOlerably
| direct channel from a military French gentle
man officially near his Majesiy's person. Col
| Webb, our representative, at this distance,
near The Court of Brazil had an interview
! the other day with the Emperor, whom he had
known well in the old days of NewYOrk exile, from
which interview the Colonel withdrew in such high
personal a0d patriotic content as still radiaes from
! his venerably handsome countenance-l am told.
Not in this cODnectiOn"for, LET alone the fact Of
vour cOrrespondent's not knowing either of them,
the two interlocutors being both gentlemen, nothing
can transpire of their private cOnyersatlon-lt IS
well enough 10 say in passing, that our army race

When their first violence is over guess we shall

England in the matter. OF course no serious diff
