Movements of the Crown Prince and
NcMahOn.

Movements of the Crown Prince and
Mcmahon.
NEW YORK, Aug ga special from Lon
don to the Tribune says the arrival of the
King at Bar lie Duo is the best comment on
the French stories assiduously spread in
Paris that the Prussians were caught in q
trap at Metz. McMahon's movements are
known to the Prussians, and they do not
think them Of enough consequence to de-
lay the advance of the Grown Prince or to
prevent the detaching of parts of Stein
metz and Prince Frederick Charles forces
to strengthen the column marching on
Paris. The Prussian front now stretches
hirty or forty miles, the main column ap-
parently marching by Bar lie Duo and vi
try, while the left wing has enveloped
ChaumOTlt and Brienne, from twenty-five
to forty miles southwark of the line of
march of the main column. The French
War Office privately asserts, nevertheless,
that Mcmahon and Bazaine are in full COM
munics ton and pursuing the Prussians,
which any body may believe who likes.
Nyurtemburg Dissatisfied.
The same correspondent telegraphs from
London: 1 have now the key to the re-
cent Wurtemburg mission to England.
The court and people of Wurtemburg are
both dissatisfied with the course of the
P russian government relative to contingent
of Wurtemburg in the Grown Princes
army, which has been massed, with that of
Baden, in one corps, and put under COM
mand, not of any Wurtemburg officer, but
of the PrufIsian Gen. Van Werden, second
in command of the Grown Prince, as Gov
ernor of S;tettin. This gives general Of
Tense in the field and at Stuttgart The
more so, that the Bavarian corps are COM
manded by Bavarian Generals, Won I'm
dezeuder, Lou and Van Hartmann. The
King of Prussia has also announced his in
tention of bestowing Alsaes and Lorraine
upon his ssn-in-law, the Grand Duke of
Baden, whose dominions are contiguous
with Wurtemburg Against all this Wur-
temburg chafes, and is preparing to resist
the project of the Prussian crown.
German UhIans Approaching Paris.
LONDON, Aug. 26.-The German Uhlans
are objects of prodigious terror at Paris.
Their arrival there is momeptarily expected.
Patrols are stationed everywhere in the
vicinity to announce the event.
London Times on the Situation.
LONDON, Aug. 26.-The Times this morn
ing has the following resume of the situa-
force before Metz where the siege works
rise like exhalations, Joined the Crown
Prince who was pushing on for Paris. The
movements of Marshal Mcmahon begin now
to be Ineligible. A fugitive from Woerth,
and evading Metz, he passed through
the Vosges to the Moselle, to Nancy and
to Ch8lOns, where he was reinforced by the
Garde Mobile and volunteers. His obvious
aim has been to bar the passage and pre-
vent the advance of the Crown Prince on
Paris. Affecting to disregard him, the
Crown Prince moved on his flank past
the camp at Chalons offering
MaMahon battle, which the latter declined,
retreating on Rheims, leaving the Cha
Ions camp all to the Prussians. Since that,
Rheims itself has been abandoned. The
obvious motive throughout, on the part Of
the French, has been to avoid fight.
The Prussians are now within a short
march of Paris, where perhaps some slight
additional resistance may be met,
