London despatch this evening says Il
have now the key to the recent Wurtemburg
Mission to England.
The Court and people of Wurtcmburg are
both dissatisfied with the Plussian govern
meht. Contingent to Wurtemburg the Crown
Princes amy has been massed with that of
Baden in one corps and put under command,
not OF any Wurtcmburg officers, but OF the
Prus sian governor Won Werden
Second in command 10 the Crown Prince is
tie Governor OF Stellm. This gives great
offence in the field and at Stuttgart, and more
because the Bayaiian Corps are commanded
hy the Bayarian Generals Won IIartunen and
Won Dcrtown.
The King of Prussia has also announced
his intention of bestowtng Alsace and Lor-
raine npon his SON in law the Grand Duke of
Baden, whose domini0ns are contiguous with
| Wurtemburg.
Against all this Wuremburg chafes, and is
preparing to resist the prospects of the Prus-
sian Crown.

London the arrival of King William at Bar
lc Due, which is the best comment on French
stories assiduously spr ad in Paris, that the
Prussians were caught in a trap at Metz.

PrussianS, and they don't think them of
enough consequence 10 delay an advance of
the Crown Prince.
Mcmahon cannot prevent the detachment
of Steinmetz and Frederick Charles corps
which is the strongest column, moving on
Paris.
The Prussian front now stretches 80 or 40
miles. The main column is apparently march

wing has enveloped Chaugent.

this week.
The Prussians are slowly but surely march
ing on Paris, and a crisis is near. This is
undoubted.

crease.
