LONDON, Aug. 25.-In the absence
OF et1clal news from the armies, it is
believed that the Prussians will not
hurry an attack upon Paris, but will
turn their attention to the reduction
of Metz, and destroy Bazaine's army,
leaving the Crown Prince to cut the
French communication with Paris,
watch McMahon and check any for
ward movement on his part to relieve
Metz

SLAMS are strong enough to disregard
MeMahon's reinforcements, eompos-
ed as they are of raw troops.

those of the Commander in-Chief."
