Jacko was first brought into the

The BlunderS of French Generals.

Tribune Correspondence
When Napoleon startled from Paris, three
trains were hardly sufficient to carry his
carriages, furniture and equipages of all
sorts. Even his generals and aids-de-camp
took with them their plate and linen and
every possible comfort. They imagined
they We're going to war like Satraps. GEN
eral Frossard at the battle of Forbach re-
manned at the table having his dinner till
4 clock, while his division was being cut
to pieces, and when his ads-de-camp came
in to tell him things were going wrong, he
answered them, smoking his cigar, that it
would be all right for he had taken all his
measures
When Marshal Lebceuf gave out to the
country that the army was ready and on Il
war footing when regiments of 5000 num-
bered only 800; when, knowing all this,
he and his accomplices allowed the cam
paign to open rather than throw light up
on their Manifestations, / think they may
be said to have been traitors
During the movements preceding the
battle of Sedan, staff officer, says the
Tribune correspondent, announced to the
Crown Prince, that a whole French divi-
sion had been surprised near Beaumont in
camp, and had fled, leaving all their tents
and baggage. When ! say had fed, ~ /
mean all fed who could and whom the
Prussians were not too quick for. More
than 5000 were made prisoners without
striking blow,
The peasants i'm the village told Us that
the Emperor had been ereonly two hours
before the Prussian skirmishers entered it.
| This was confirmed by some prisoners
taken.

eral Sheridan, who was standing by, ex-
claimed: "Ah they are too weak. They
can never hold that position against all
those French The Generals prophesy
was soon proved correct, fer the French
advancing at least six to one the Prussians
were forced to retreat down the hill to seek
re-enforcements from columns which were
hurrying to their support. In five
minutes thew came back again, this
time in in greater force but still terribly
inferior to those huge French masses.
