Spies, &c.

A very brave and frank PrusSian named
KARL HERDo has been tried in Paris rs
spy and convicted. He was to have been
shot yesterday. He dies nobly. He &C.
knowledged everything. The PruSsian Go
vernment has no right to complain; but
the Prussians should honor the memory OF
KARL HERDo as long as the memory Of the
war is preserved.
Spies are used by all armies, and they en-
ter upon their service with their lives in
their hands. Death is their fate if detected,
and go it must ever be. They are, there
fore, heroes.
We observe that it is stated that the
Prussians have used spies with great adj
vantage to themselves-that the Prussian
spies were all through the Austrian camps
in the Prusso-Austrian war, and that they
have, Like worms in the hull of wrecked
vessel, permeated the French army and
Paris in the present war. We see no cause
for censure of Prussia for this or sympathy
with the French because they have been
surprised. In war men are not set down as
milk sops for milk sops have no right tc
so to war. War is manly art, and belli
gerents must resort to all known means MOI
positively prohibited by the rules of Wal
among civilized nations. So when we heal
that through the Prussian spies the French
have been surprised and brought TO grief
we conclude that the French have failed Il
employ the means of war with vigilance
and activity equal to the Prussians, agains
whom they declared war, and their fate il
logical.
We suppose the French have awaited
themselves Of the aid of spies. II they have
they ought to have done it more effectively
If they have not, they have omitted what
the universal practice in time of war au
thorizes. 1t is shameful to be surprised
it is more shameful to the French com
manders to confess that they were sur
prised, as they have done.

Victorious or discrowned'' is Nspoleon's alter
native on the next battle held.
Prussian accounts say nothing at Koniggra'se
could parallel the destruction o. life at Worth.
The same accounts say il is believed that Napo-
leon was on the field with Mcmahon.
War reports are obscure and unsatisfactory.
Russell writes TO the Times '-' The French
headquarters were wholly ignorant of the
details OF the battle Of Worth, but were i'm
pressed with the belief that Il was decisive and
important in its results.
NAPOLEON'S BAD GENERALSHIP.
PARIS, Aug. 12-The Pays publishes letter
from Charles Desmoulins, dated at Nancy, de-
rouncing the Emperor's bad generalship. He
says" Mcmahon, calamity struggling, was
beaten for lack of support, though there were
multtudes OF armed Frenchmen at hand, eager
to save him. The passage of the Rhine was un-
defended.
The commisserat IVES utterly inadequate,
and the soldiers were compelled TO eat sour
fruit and raw vegetables, and take re conse-
quences. Prussia to-day has Alsace; tomorrow
she will have Lorraine. The people are despe-
rate. The soldiers believe themselves betrayed,
and clsmor for leader.
Luxembourg having asked for a reaffirma-
tion Of her neutrality powers, received the reply
that the existing guarantee is sufficient"

rose to speak, but could hardly be heard he
advocated immediate decision on the question.
Remember" said Jules Fsvre, show signih-

assume it." The members Of the Left said this
was menace. Jules Favre answered, ''Think
of the effectoF delay; remainder thatthe minis
try had promised to invade the territory of an
enemy, and now they are on ours"
Here the tumult became extreme. Deputy
Gambetta mounted the tribune, but could not
be heard. At last the Corps became calmer
and Gambetta said :-' The Minister OF Public
Works has changed the question; the Chamber
Will vote under wrong impression. Members
OF the left asked for arms for patriotic pur-
poses" Minister David said - Let us sup
pose that the demand for arms was only 10
trouble the public peace. The Chamber must
know what it votes for; there must be no equiv
ocatlon." The minister replied that the gov
errment did not seek to equivocate. At last it
was decided, by a vote of 40 to 20, that the
question of reorganization of the national gcv-
eminent 20 over until Tomorrow. The presi-
dent expressed a desire TO close the meeting, but
Deputy Entmolin insisted upon a vote that the
Chambers be In permanent session as long as
the war continued. The Chamber, by III to IL 4,
refused this.
Terry renewed the agitation by demanding to
know Why the state OF sege is continued as il
against enemies within the city of Paris. A
voice answered, but il was impossible to hear
more. The president, worn out with the toll of
the proceedings, ceased his efforts to procure
order, and slowly the meeting dispersed.
The Senate met to-day and greeted Count Pa
likao warmly. vote Of thanks was given to
the army, and the project OF law tending to
the arming of the nation adopted.
THE SESSION YESTERDAY.
PARIS, Aug. 1.-The Corps Legislatif is now
in session. A crowd OF 600 persons is collected
i'm front Of the Chamber, clamoring for arms
Within the Chamber there is much excitement,
but no disorderly scenes have occurred.
CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE.
The proposal Of the left on Tuesday contains
the following:
Inasmuch as the incapacity of the Chief of
State has brought France into peril and caused
the loss Of two great battles in spite Of the heroic
valor Of our soldiers:
First-A committee of national defense il
constituted in the national assembly composed
of fifteen members.
"Second-Until further order this committee
shall be placed over all existing authority.
Third-It shall summon ali citizens TO arms.
"FOurth-Every act tending to Obstruct the
acts OF the committee shall be considered as
crimes against the nation.''
This was what brought out the violent scene
in the Chambers on Tuesday.

A MISSING LoRD.-The New York Post tells
romantic story concerning a missing English
n bleman, Lord Abe :deen, q young man OF
twenty-three, who lett England about two years
ago without giving any clue to his whereabouts
and has not communicated with either his
friends or his family since. Information has
reached them, however, that he shipped as a
common sailor on board q merchantmen, bound,
it is believed, for this country, and il Is further
stated to have been ascertained that he has
since passed the examination for his ship as
mate.
No satisfactory canse is assigned for his
strange conduct, but it has been supposed that,
having taken up the notion that his estate is
more ne avily encumbered than it really is, he
has resolved to live for some years merely on the
II nit OF bis own earnings, while a sufficient sum
accumulates to Gquidate the charges ON the
property. Meanwhile there is said to be a very
large fum OF money lying TO bis credit at his
fanker's. which might be proftably applied.
