nation that nevertheless civil dissen-
sions would deliver Bronoo TO her on
emies; that for himself, he delays re-
turning to Paris only for fear that his

the control of her destinies, should
say TO Germany and tho world that
this il a war between two men and
not two nations.
Our Paris SPECIAL correspondent
writes Saturday forenoon, as follOWs:
The most incredible stories are pro-
mul gated officially and semi officially
10 Paris, and il is believed by the
people that Marshal Bazaine's dis
patches are suppressed for fear that
when they are made public the infor-
nation may reach the enemy, aud that
the Prussians have been successfully
eDtrapped by Bazaine.
la the last three battles Bazaine's

cal maneuvres likoMcClellan's + change

If he wanted.
Prince Frederick's army is entirely
destroyed, and that of Bismarcks

mains. The rest OF the Prussian
army 10 80 weakened by dysentery and
famine that they cannot move. No
fiction is too monstr0us for belief.
