NOTES OF THE WAR.
CANRoBERT's ACTUAL WORK IN THE FELL

The London Pail Mall Gazette OF August 80, says:-
A correspondent, whose letter appeared in our
roberts name should not have hitherto been men
toned as present before Metz and is even more
as @ sha e sI spa of
on the 16Jh,Swas French victory. 1t should be re-
membered that our accounts, except few trust
and that What we have gathered from
contradiction and incompleteness which are
the invariable characteristics of beaten
army's account of its misfortunes. Canrobert's
biography has plainly been subordinated to those
OF the officers nearer the invader and all that
is yet certain Of it is that the Marshal during the
first weeks Of the campaign, was at Uhalons, in
command Of the 9th Corps; that when the disasters
of Woerth and Forbach reused the French nation to
the of their danger then was proposed that
Canrobert should be made Governor of Paris; but
he declined a dangerous post, which, to speak
plainly would have been quite unsuited to the easy
and yielding disposition which failed to preserve
discipline in the French army before Sebastopol.
When BaZalne formally took the command at
Metz Canrobert appears, with the same generosity
Of spirit which he showed when superseded by Pc
lisser in 1885, to have volunteered at once to serve
corps-part by the last accounts, was certainly with
MacMahon when he broke up his camp last week
carrying, perhaps what could be moved at once by
rail to the assistance of the main army. That his
des-de-camp should have supposed the battle OF
Vionvie to have been a victory is very easily ac-
counted for, when recollect that each army that
day maintained Its ground, the French getting some
temporary advantage on their right.

The Courier des Eats Ufs OF New York is outwith
vigorous war article on the prospects of French
victory The editor says that Paris is ready for the
fight, and will give her enemies warm reception.

1t is no longer empire alone that William wants. it
is France. He sees far, does King William. He
knows that when he becomes Emperor, when all
Germany is his, he will have enemies England
Russia and Austria will be against him. and he will
have the hate OF the whole world. The day will
come when these murmurs will swell into one grand
cry, when these clouds will become tempest lie
thinks naturally that when the coalition against him
is formed that France will be there to take her re-
venge. TO destroy, harass, and spoliate France,
then, is to make one less enemy That Is what this
