Artillery Won the Battle of Sedan.

DIR. Russell writes to the London Times
under date of Donchery, let our soldiers
and statesmen at home make notes of
this. The issue of that battle SEDAN
was decided solely and entirely by artil-
lery fire. l do not here mean to say that
If the Prussian armies and the troops of
the allies had been brought to deal with
the French army of Marshal MacMahon
they could not and would not have
beaten it with musket and bayonet so
etlectually. No one can pretend that
the French army could escape from the
coils of the net which Won MOltke, Won
Blumenthai, and the members of the
Military Cabinet of the King of Prus-
STA wove round the unfortunate Marshal,
or show how the subtle perfection OF the
strategy which enabled the presiding
genius at the head of the list to put his
finger days before, on the very spot on
the map where MacMahon was to be
brought to bay, could be evaded and

England and a sort of princlpallty III Ire

but lived entirely in foreign capital
Paris. Even there he seems to have been
extraordinarily reluctant to permit any
friends to participate III his snug little
income of E2O0,0O0 a year. ''Do you

Marquis lived for years over the shop OF
a tailor in Paris. At length he was told
that the house would change hands, and
he must vacate. His dismay and AFRO
