Gravelotte. are still wanting, even at
Berlin.
The German dispatches to-day are
meager, but from them we gather that
the military situation is as follows The
18th Prussian army corps is now be-
tween Metz and Thionyille, and serves
to keep mp communication between
Prince Frederick Charles and Steinmetz.
The fortress of Metz Is inclosed on all
sides. Communication between Chalons
and Paris is cut off. The headquarters
of the Crown Prince is at Bar-le. Due.
McMahon and Failly are still retreating
to cover Paris.
The following statement from semi
official sources foreshadow the demands
likely to be made by Prussia, in case of
successful termination of the war
The time arrives when Germany must
be freed from French interference and
menaces, and have long period of un-
broken peace. A complete change of
dynasty in France would be insufficient
to insure this; for the next sovereign
would seek as soon as possible to recover
the loss of the military prestige of
France, aud the burthen Of an armed
peace would be perpetual Suppose
France should issue from this struggle
with strength unimpaired, and with her
strongholds, whence she menaces the
valley of the Rhine and the Palatinate,
intact; the war from which the incapaci-
ty of French Generals and the bravery
OF the German army have delivered us
will be renewed there can be no trust
worthy peace of that sort. We will only
resign our arms when we have some
guarantee of security against fresh
contest whenever it may suit the political
necessities of a French ruler TO re-
sumo it. ...-
