From what we can gather from our de
spatches as to the position Of the Prussian
forces, it would appear that they are con.
centrated in immense strength around
about Mentz, on both sides of the river,
with one wing resting on Heidelberg, on
the south, md the other at Coblentx, at
tho junction of the Moselle with the Rhine,
on the north. On this space there are now
collected probably not less than half a
million Of German troops, 3len1 being
the centre or key of the position, and con-
nected with numerous railways radiatine
into Germany therefrom, in every direc-

The population of tho Canadas is about
equal to that of n1inois-thsee aud one
