New YORK, Aug. 25.-A competent OBJ
describes the state of feeling in that city
regarding the war:
Il WAS witness TO much thar occurred
after the defeat of McMahon and the retreat
of Frossard. The French believe that the
Prussans deliberately, wautonly and faith
lessly insulted France; they want to fight,
and mean to as long as physical power re
mains. In all the gatherings l saw | never
once heard a bas Napoleon or lie Empe
reur.' ! often heard 'Vive rEmpereur,'
Il Empire; at present 'c'est La France.
That the French looked upon the war as
family Prussian quarrel and not 8 Germ sp
quarrel, and were surprised at the North
German Confederation making war, 1t Is
true. Il is well understood in France that
the war is not a Bonaparte war that the
Emperors wishes were for an European
agreement to reduce the war esta Adjustment
of the different powers. The French are
surprised at the Prussisn proolivites of
English public opinion as the alliance with
England has always been the mos. honest
on the part of France; the necessity and
use of it has been keenly felt by the Eupe-
ror, and its cordiality has been to great
extent bis personal work All shades Of
public opinion in France with regard to
Prussia, in the words of Theirs, are a bird
of prey
This is the first war Europe to which
the faubourgs of St German and the old
legitim,sts have sent their sons.
The Orleans princes demand their services
even as volunteers, that the Socialist party
may see in the defeat of France a means OF
oth
bic II ementer occur or conspirscies exists
the work is theirs.
The excitement in Paris on the news OF
their defeats was largely due to the reaction
for the JOY excited by hoax of immense
success, but the crowds were not combs;ive
and were very easily dispersed.
Public opinion had also condemned OF
livier's ministry as incapable. Upon its
resignation, the excitement in great meas
ure ceased.
