The general offensive movement of the
French, around Paris, which began last week
'loes not appear to have met with much sue
cess; for although they claim some minor VIC
tories the main result has proved disastrous
to them. The first battle took place on Sun
day between section of the army of the
North and Gen. Manteuffeps command at the
little town of Moreuil, lying between Paris
and Amiens, twelve miles southwest of the
latter city, and the second at Villers, five
miles north Of Amiens. Gen. Manteuffel was
threatening Amiens, and to prevent the cap
ture of that city by the Prussians al attempt
was made to join the two divisie rs Of the
French army and thus hem him in. But the
Prussians came out of their entertainments
to defeat their opponents in detail. The
smaller body coming from the North, was
repulsed, but the conflict with the main body
was more stubborn; and the French COM
mander reported adhesive victory. Man
teufel succeeded in capturing Amiens and the
army of the North retired from his front in
good order.
On the south side Of Paris, at Beaune, ly-
ing between Montalgis and Pithiviers, another
battle occurred on the following day, and was
caused by an effort by the French to defeat
fanking movement by the Prussans. Both
sides claim success, but the position of the
belIigerents by the last accounts indicate that
the Prussians maintained their position and
captured many prisoners. Official dispatches
from Gen. Won Werder confirm the report of
the defeat of Garibaldi at Pasques on Satur-
day and the disorderly flight of his army.
The Prussan commander followed up his sue
cess, turned the position to which the French
had retreated, fell upon their rear, and infi,ct-
ed heavy loss completing the decentralization
of Garibadi's army which fed in different d.
rectiOnS.

A SoRrIE FROM PAR1s-On Monday and
Tuesday the forts around Paris, particularly
those to the south, DTvry, Bicetre, Mont
rouge, Vanvres, DTssy and Charenton main
tanned furious caunonade. As was expected
by the Germans this incessant firing was kept
up nero to cover a sortie in force On Tues
day the French came out towards L'Hay sup
ported by their gunboats in the Seine. At
this point the position of the 9th Prussian corps
was attacked fiercely. Simultaneously other
sorties were made in the other directions with
q view probably to prevent reinforcements to
the 9th corps. In all cases however the French
were repulsed and driven back behind their
Notifications. The entire Prussian loss in
these actions was only officers and few

ART IN THE NETHERLANDS, by H. Tame.
Translated by j. Durapd. New York Lev
p0ldt & Holt. 1871.
This is a dainty duodecimo of less than two
hundred pages; unpretending in everything
except its title. That suggests matter for
ponderous folio According to the theory of
Tame himself, art keeps pace, in its growth
with civilization, and an account of the one
must contain much relating to the other. In
deed, in this brief account of Flemish Art, the
author touches upon the history of the people,
their pursuits, manners, politics, religion and
literature, and the soil, climate and scenery Of
the country in which they dwelt. There is, of
course. no discussion Of disputed questions
within so scanty limits. The style of the work
is didactic, its matter having originally been
embraced in lectures. To secure the desired
brevity, the author often appears dogmatic
seldom obscure Occupied with his own ideas,
he cakes no occasion to quarrel with other crit.
les. His object seems to Lave been to give his
readers an Ineligible account of that wonder
full Dutch school Ct painting which was the
outgrowth of the religion, the literature, the
science and the culture of the middle ages, and
we would congratulate him upon having sue
ceeded so WELL I. B. G.

EPISODES AND LYRIC PIECES, by Robert Kel-

1871.
We have here beautiful songs, some of which
are composed with exquisite art, and sung
with an air Of unconsciousncss as if the au-
thor never dreamed Of their appearing in type.
He sings to nature in softly modulated strains,
which will awaken, in those who have taste
for what is fresh and sweet in song, a delight
kindred to that with which they listen to the
birds in early Spring. He has but one song
for Autumn; almost all the imagery and mel
