N. GAILLAURDEr's DESPATCH FROM PARIS
-LATEsr AS 10 THE SITUATION OF THE
FRENCH Army. /
New YORK, August 19-M. Gaillaurdet
telegraphs from Paris to the Courier DIES Etat}
Unis Of this morning: "In an interview.
with NJ. Chevereux, Minister of the Interior,
he complains that dispatches which, BY
special favor, have been permitted to send
to New York have been transmitted back to
Prussia, to the detriment of our operations.
He further assured me that the Chief of the
Berlin police had perfected arrangements for
receiving, the moment they were published,
dispatches sent from France to Luxembourg
Belgium, Switzerland and America, which
he Immediately forwarded to the
Pr,lssian headquarters.
'These dispatches have made the enemy
with the projected movements on
our part, and informed them in regard to
the strength of our forces at certain points.
1t consequently follows that Bazaine feels
to interdict the publishing Of all
army news, except such as emanates from
his headquarters. The Minister of the In
terror will forward such dispatches, when
L. IL Al
had said he feared Geographic dispatches,
which made known his movements to the
enemy, less than the demoralizing effect pro-
duced upon the people by the making known
to their families the names of the killed in
battles. Though our army has suffered Sc
verely, the concentration upon Chalons is be-
ing accomplished. If nothing unexpected
happens, our forces will be there in three
day.;
''There is very much centurion in the des.
patches from the army. While advantages
are announced as having been gained at va
rious points, no mention is made of decided
victory having been achieved over the enemy.
Bazaine is attempting to stave off
q battle until reaching Chalons, where he
can he joined by achievements. infer
from dispatches that our forces are retreating
in three columns; that as fast as one is ut!
lacked the others go to its assistance, and
having repulsed the enemy then move ON
again. Five battles have been fought since
the 18th, and FIVE times have We repulsed
the enemy. The advantages which we
gained over the foe at Gravallatte, Marsha
Tour and Dercourt recall the glories of the
French campaigns of 1914. The armies of
Frederick Charles and Won Steinmetz have
been decimated, but reinforcements for them
have constantly arrived. Mcmahon, with
part of his advance guard, has arrived at
Vitry lie FRANCHISE. Two divisions have
been despatched to protect his return to
Chalons. We securely hold Strasburg,
and Thionville. After organizing
The forces at Chalons, Gen. Trochu has been
appointed commander of the forces and for
