SHOCKING DEPRaVIrY IN NEWARK.

There was brought TO the notice OF the Newark

the battle OF Resonvie. But these inferences
which are based upon French reports will be com
pletey upset If the news received from Carsruhe OF
the defeat OF the French at Chalons by the Crown
Prince prove correct. C0n6rmatory intelligence or
this victory Is needed, however before It can be re-
he'd upon The Crown Prince was reported to
be at PonLa-Mousson on the 10Th. A despatch
from that place dated yesterday MAKES no
mention whatever Of this battle, and the
news would certainly have reached there before
II reached Carlsruhe. SO many mere rumors are
mingled with facts that 1t Is diicut to distinguish
the truth from falsehood. MacMahons defeat now
would be most disastrous for the French, as upon
his army remaining unbroken depends In a great
measure the chances OF final success. What day
the battle ut Chalons was fought is not stated but

The following is the text

THE NEW COMMANDER OF PARIS.
Major General Trochu.

This distinguished Ofilcer who Is now In command
at Paris and is reported to be directing the move
ments OF the French army, bears the reputation OF
being one OF the ablest military men in Europe. He
Is fy-four years OF age, having been born In 1916
lie was educated at the military school OF ST. Cyr
where he displayed marked aptness and ability. On
graduating he was commissioned subeutenant
In the army and was soon after sent to Algeria.
Here Lieutenant Trochu, as is the case with nearly
all OF the prominent generals Of France, first saw
military service. In the numerous campaigns
against the Arabs he greatly distinguished himself
by his skill and gallantry, and at the outbreak of
the revolution of lsis had risen to the rank of
major. Immediately alter the re-estabshment of
the empire he was commissioned colonel and for a
time served on the stan OF the Emperor Napoleon.
During the war between France and England on the
one side and Russia on the other Colonel Trochu
was sent to the Crimea as the confidential agent OF
Napoleon. He took part In all the military councils
OF the allied commanders, and Is said to have had
more TO do with determining the action OF the French
army tnan either Marshal ST. Armand or General
Canr0bert For his services he was promoted to the
rank OF general OF brigade. The Italian campaign
OF 1852 report has it, was planned by him and the
late Marshal Mel It's complete success is well
known to all students OF history. Subsequently
Trochu was made major general II IS certain that
uHlh iooV hc WAS ioOheu upon Us u supporter anu
friend OF Napoleon Since then It is claimed that
there has been coldness existing between the two
Trochu laboring under the impression that he has
been oversiaughed by the Emperor, who has pro.
noted Inferior officers him. But II is not true
that he was always adherent OF the Orleans
dynasty. He may be now, and If he is his partner
ship dates since the Italian war. As regards the
present war the General is not only reported TO be a
bitter enemy to Prussia and IN favor Of It, but also
TO have prepared plan OF campaign, offensive and
defensive, and If these statements be true we may
depend that he will continue the struggle to the
bitter end. Tr0chu Is liberal and his sentiments
In favor OF Parliamentary government have long
been KNOWN He is not republican however.
Whether is his intention TO support the Bonapare
dynasty or that Of the Orleans Is something nobody
knows anything about as yet. Some time must ne
cessariy pass before his policy on SO important q
matter is made public.
