movement on Mcmahon, the same as
they did on Bazaine. This is the sit
uation of both armies: McMahon,
as have fold you already, occupies a
line from Bethel to Stenay, leaning on
with the Belgian boundary behind.
The Prussians who were marching
on Paris, deployed from Stenay 70

Romilly. Those around Chalons, in
that OF Snippes. and these which were
between SteDay and Vareunes, in the

| Prusslan columns are advancing from
LuneVille and JOuYille, TO st. Dizier,
where the headquarters of the King

slams, seeing the danger of approach
ing nearer to Paris while McMahon
may defeat their forces around Metz,
have altered the direction of their
i *
ward Bethel.
Much depends upon the battle
] which may take place in that vicinity

the environs are 10 be levelled, and
