THE FRENCH PRESS ON THE SITUATION
THE TRANQUIL INFANT" SAFE IN MEzIEREs-
THE GERMANS TO BE EXTERMINATED-
FRANCE GROWING MORE FORMIDABLE.
PARIS, Tuesday, Aug. 30, 1870
The Libeyte says that the Prince Imperial has gone
to Mezieres, where he will remain until further
ders. Mezeres is considered impregnable, contains
a strong garrison, and ample supply of munitions
and provisions.
The Opinion Rationale says "War war to the
last Let not one German recross the Rhinel For
centuries let Germany remember that enemies may
enter but cannot leave France"
The Opinion Rationale also demands that as the
Prussians shoot the country people, France should
teach Prussians that if this practice continues she
will take no prisoners and that the will become
one of determination.
The LiberK says: THE hour of the great battle
has arrived. The situation has q new aspect. The
battle must now take place in the Valley of the Ar
gonne, and perhaps from there to Metz. The Prus-
slams understand how grave events have become for
them Defeat is fatal. We must soon know, we
have reason to believe the battle is raging now.
If the Prussans repulsed, they cannot march on
Paris, but must retreat behind the Mosele. France
every moment grows more formidable, She is pre-
new regiments are ready to take the field Defeat
cannot subdue u.s."
The Patie to-day says: Military events Of the
utmost Importance are in progress Whatever may
be the result at Paris France must redOuble her
energy and create q third and fourth army The
Germans are active, and we must use all our
efforts. The news from the army of Mar
shall MacMahon continues excellent He has
not been for one instant deceived by the
movements of the Prince Royal. He has understood
that the Prince meant to overreach his army, and
has therefore kept in advance Of the Prussans. The
Parisians must not, however, cease preparing to
repulse the enemy in any event. We must be ready.
The Journal OGciel states that the blockade OF the
German coast only became effective on the 10Th inst.
