THE UNRELIABLE REPORTS NOTHING
NEW

German kilograms received in London allege
that "the fortress of Metz is enclosed on fll
Sides, and this is construed by some of the
morning papers to deny that Bazaine has moved
from that point. It may mean this, but there
is no positive evidence of such meaning since
Metz would be quite as likely to be closely eli
closed by the Prussians, if defended by only
small garrison. as if occupied by Bazaine 4 army
Another London telegram, however, represents
quite different state Of affairs. 1t says:
. 1t is reported that tho Grown Prince OF lrns-
STA has withdrawn from his advance Paris,
and gone to the support of the Prussian armies
west of Metz, the position of the latter being
threatened with formidable attack from lia-
zaine, who is said to have been reinforced by
MacMahon."
But these London kilograms, commencing g it
is reported" and /" it is rumorcd' generally de
serve no credit.
Berlin authority places the total numbers OF
the Prussian armies, now within France. at
100000 OF these l2s,0O0 are under Won Stein
metz, go 900 under Prince Frederick Charles,
and the remainder constitute the army of the
Grown Prince. The telegram making this state
ment also says that 100000 of tile Landwehr
Organized reserves have crossed into Alsact
and Lorraine to occupy those provinces, in the
rear of the regular troops. 1t is proper to CON
sder however, that to telegraph from Berlil
the true numbers of the I'russian armies is prob
ably the last thing that the Government won,

quite too high

The Battle OF t:rayel0ttc.

The New York Tribune to-day, has long
telegram fromits correspondent with the Prussian
army, describing the battle of Gravelotte near
Metz, OH Thursday last. The correspondent
represents himself to have viewed the battle
from the same advantageous position occupied
by Bismarck and King William.i
The battle is described as series of attacks by
the Prussians under Prince Frederick Charles,
and General stenmetz to drive the French from
their hold on the road to yerdun. 1t commenced
in the forenoon, and did not end till 0. The
French occupied strong positions and repulsed,
with terrible slaughter, all day, the assaults on
them. In the evening, they gave way. and fell
back to Metz.
The Tribune thinks this may be the decisive
battle of the war, and concludes its article, re-
viewing the contest thus
" The hope grows stronger daily that this
battle will prove the decisive one of the war.
There is no evidence Of any further advance of
| the Prussan army the French are thrown wholly
on the defensive delay seems imperative, and
peace cannot but follow. God speed it"

The admirable bearing and the high heroic
pie and masculine appeals to the people, are in
fusng themselves, like new blood Of freedom
and new soul of faith, into the popular heart
Of Paris. That they should arouse the French
metropolis to eecure it's own safety and the ex-
pulsion Of the German armies from France
would be matter more exclusively interesting
to Frenchmen than the rest OF mankind, were ii
not for the hope that they may also arouse the
French metropolis 10 throw of the moral and
political Indifference under which it has so long
suffered. II France besides maintaining her
sert her great position as land of liberal ideas
and Of progressive civilization, this horrible,
hateful war may be found at last to haye borne
in its 'biood red blossom the seeds or now
life not for France alone but for Europe.
