mel that his British passport was an order from head
quarters. No military maps are permitted to be sold
to civilians; only officers can buy them. No parcels
or goods can come by rail except by Quarter
masters order There is great distress in the fac
tories for want of Belgian coal Marshal Bazaine is
sending everywhere to buy maps of Bavaria.
The military postal service and the military chest
arrived this morning. All the money is in gold,
which indicates the intention TO quit French terri
tory Immediately, and push the campaign in locali-
ties where French notes will not be taken.
There is great importance attached here to gun
boats which are to be used as they were in the
American war, and are to act on the Rhine and the
Moselle possibly on the Sare should the Prussians
defend that stream. Each runboat carries one
heavy gun and twelve men, and is commanded by
lieutenant. De Vasseau believes that the Russians
have no gunboats
Everything is quiet in Luxembourg. The COM
munications with Germany are easy. French Off
GERS boast that they have q million men between
Thionvie and Strasbourg. Passes to correspondents
are still rgdly refused. Gen. Bazaine has sent to
written application written reply, as follows:
The formal orders of the Emperor prohibit the
granting of any authorization to follow head
quarters to any person not belonging to the army.
have therefore no power to grant the request you
have done me the honor to make, and l can only
refer You to the decision of the Major General of
the Army"
Our Paris special correspondent advises under date
of 25th, that the Emperor was expected to leave
quietly for the front last night but did not co. His
departure will probably be delayed days, as he
is i'll. Notwithstanding the press prohibitions
