LONDON. Aug. S.-The Times
says it is momentous questl on
whether the Emperor's health
leaves him possession of his ordl-
nary faculties. The war is marked
by his usual hesitation, which is
attributable to random and pur-
poseless strategy and puzzling in
action, which have probably
brought calamity to the national
arms. The Emperor is now bound
to accept battle instantly; yet, ise
has on hand the task OF concen-
trating his force and restoring es-
prit to the defeated army, and
this while his enemy is concentra-
ting in the heart of Lorraine.
Edmund About writes from the
field bitterly condemning the En-
peror's mismanagement. He says:
ssHaving declared war, he let the
Prussians begin it. 1t is true that
neither party were ready, yet the
French lost twenty days in march
ing and counter-marching. They
we're surprised at Weissenburg by
the enemy, of whom their were no
videttes to watch, no skirmisheFs
to meet, and no plan to repel."
Circumstances will soon exact
the disappearance Of England in
the character Of a mediator. r
1t is said the Orleans Princes
are prodigal. with their money in
relieving the wounded Of the
French army.
