Our dispatches, this morning, via
London, indicate that the French un-
der Mcmahon met with another de-
feat on Tuesday, and were driven to-
ward the Belgian frontier. The dis
patch states that the pursuit Of the
retreating army by the Prussians was
absolutely checked by the crowds of
prisoners, artillery and military stores
which fell into their hands. Mona
hons camp was also captured. Should
this dispatch prove to be correct, the
situation of the French army, if, in-
deed, there can be said any
longer that there il a French
army il most pitiable. With Mona
hons army dispersed, and Bazaine's
shut up in Metz. the Prussians will
have no other obstacle to interfere
with their immediate march on Paris
The papers of that city profess that
the people are ready for a siege, and
will make a defense worthy of their
military reputation. Indeed they pro-
fess to be confident of their abil
ity to resist the Prussian armies
until the latter will be forced to aban-
don the siege in despair. We cannot
forget, however. that the most sue
eessful fighting the French have done
thus far has been through the Paris
newspapers. Had the success Of the
armies in the field corresponded with
the pompous predictions of the news
papers, the German armies would
have been defeated, if not altogether
destroved at the very frat reneonter.
