The SEAT OF War


CHICAGO, August 23.-The Times
has the following special from New
York: "Private dispatches received
here from Paris say that Mcmahon,
with the French army lately at Cha
Ions, has completely turned the tables
on the Crown Prince, and the Prussian
army would then be between the
French armies, and would be crushed
in detail. The French change Of front
from the line Of the Mosselle to that Of
Metz and Verdun, was a serious blow
to the Prussian programme, to carry
out and get OH Bazaine's flank. The
Crown Prince was now compelled to a
long and perilous detour, while his
own communications with the King
were laid open. This Is the key to the
continued assaults OH Bazaine, cost
what they might. Bazaine had to be
kept at Metz and Verdun, even though
the Prussians did lose 10000 men.
But Mcmahon had a better army than
was calculated upon, and, after send
ing back the Garde Mobile to Paris, he
has with him $50, 900 veterans, and has
thrown himself between the army Of
the Crown Prince and that Of the King,
and effected a junction at Verdun with
Bazaine's left wing. The Prussian po-
sition Is perilous. Their army Is cut
in two, with the United French right
wing between them, to keep the left
wing at Metz, and prevent the French
shortening their long line. The OBJ
ject Of the King was to leave Metz and
hold verdun as their left flank. The
Crown Prince Is In trouble, and unless
he cuts his way through soon, he will
perhaps be lost"
If the press kilograms are true and
the Crown Prince Is marching on
Paris, he Is insane.
PARIS, August 23.-Journals to-day
say a dispatch was received here from
Baxaine, In which he declares his In
tention of remaining near Metz with
out fighting. 90
The full explanation of the dispatch
admits that B~azaine's communications
we're at one time endangered, but as
serts they were now secure.
All quiet at Rheims. Mr.. Gill, the
American Consul, has assumed the
protection of a large number Of Ger
man residents there.
A committee Of the Corps Legislatif,
appointed yesterday, to consider the
proposition Of Deputy Keratery to
form q committee of defense, met to-
day to confer with the Ministry, and a
compromise will probably be effected.
1t is reported that Drest, the leader
of the yillette outbreak, who was con-
demned to death, wishes to make con-
LESSONS, and promises startling revela-
lions. Three more men were impli-
Gated in the affair, and tried and sem
fenced to-day by a Council Of War.
DEGREES have been officially promul-
gated, declaring the departments Of
Nierre and Cherre In a state Of siege.
The Constitutional, OH semi-oficial
authority, c~ontradicts in most positive
terms, the late report in the London
Times, that the Empress Eugenie has
sued for the mediation Of Queen Vic
toria ; and all the journals here indig-
nantly deny the truth Of the report,
also printed in the London Times, that
the metrailleurs are loaded with ex-
plosive bullets. - &
PARIS, August 23.-The Gaulois says
that Prussia applied, through Lord
Granville, for the consent of the French
commanders to allow her wounded, to
the number of $4,000 to be sent home
through Belgium and Luxembourg, and
Bazr'ne positively refuses.
