New YORK, August -.
A special dated London 18th, says the
investment of Strasburg was not known
in Paris until yesterday-Friday. A
F%renchman, and officer, who left London
a few days ago, full of patriotism and
hope for his Country, writes: Il have
just met some persons from Nancy, who
retreated before the Prussians, and who
day before yesterday were at Yiella, a
few miles from Nancy. They will move
thence by Damn, and probably join the
other army behind Chalms-perhaps at
Paris.
Why the French army remains concen-
trated before Metz, nobody understands,
1t is believed the Prussians are already
at Nancy, and it appears that the En-
pire is rolled up like a scroll. What has
been said this morning, is true for 20
years; nobody in France has studied war
seriously; everything has been done
specifically; while the Prussians are first
in science, and have now proved they
are first in war. 1t is hard for me to
confess this, but it is true. Notwith-
standing all these great %levies, the lesson
of '93 will not re-appear. The losses
already are incredible. Out of regiments
of 1900 men, sometimes only 100 re-
main. OF the Turcos engaged at Weis-
senburg, but 25 are left
New YORK, August 10.
A special correspondent of The Trib-
une writes from Paris, Thursday even
ing, 18th: The truth is slowly leaking
out. 1t shows the position of the
French army qs worse and worse. Two
days ago a dispatch, meant to be re-
assuring, was placarded, stating that
Failly had established communication
with Mcmahon. 1t now appears that
these communications were established
in the field Of the last battle of Woerth.
Failly came up with a division of in
fantry and a brigade of cavalry, and
shared McMahon's defeat. An official
dispatch says he covered his retreat.
Mcmahon got into Saverne Sunday, but
had to clear out in the evening; and
Saverne is now occupied by the Prus-
slams. McMahon's position is in all
probability deplorable-driven as he is
into the barren mountains, with the
wreck of an army, without money,
arms, or provisions. 1t is not known in
Paris where he is at this moment-the
enemy being in possession of Saverne,
has cut off OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES by
rail or telegraph-between Strasburg
and Paris. 1t is known that a large
Prussian army, which must have taken
Mulhausen, is on its way TO reinforce
the Crown Prince at Saverne.
Marshal Canrobert. who it was sup
posed was protecting Nancy, came to
Paris yesterday, to consult with the
Empress. and has now gone back to his
command-wherever that may be.
PARIS, August 70.
The Red Republicans in Paris have
given assurance that they will do moth
ing to embarrass The Government until
the Prussians are driven from French
soil.
Cable dispatches say that Bismarck
believes there will certainly be a revolu-
ton in Paris, and that he counsels wait
ing until he sees who will come into
power.
PARIS, August 10.
The Bourse opened at 65.45. In the
Corps Legislatif, last night, the Minister
of War read the following dispatch:
