LONDON, November 1.-The FiGur0
this evening publishes version of the
Emperor Napoleon's pamphlet on the
campaign of 1870, and the causes which
led to the capitdlation ut Sedan.
The Emperor recalls to mind his mani
festo issued just after the declaration of
war, and the misgivings with which he
listened to the cry of son to Berlin" I"
He says his plan was to mass 1906
men at Metz, 100000 at Strasburg, and
$4,000 at Chalons, and to cross the Rhine
near Hnguenoc with large force, in
order to separate South Germany from
the Northern Confederation. He hoped
to win the first great battle, and to Sc
cure the alliance Of Austria and Italy
with France in imposing neutrality on
Bavaria, Baden and Wurtemburg. The
defects of the French military system,
and the delay III bringing up men and
material, defeated this plan. He emu
merates the difficulties encountered, but
acquits the war Office of blame. The
Germans having ample time to bring
their. ferces into the field, the French
were outnumbered and put on the de-
fensive.
He acquiesced in the march for the re.
lief of Metz, though conscious of the
danger of that enterprise. He describes
the operations and analyses the battles
which preceded the surrender at Sedan,
and gives an account of his interviews
with Bismarck and the King of Prussia.
The pamphlet closes with declaration
that the German successes were due to
superiority of numbers, improved artil-
lery, vigorous discipline, respect for
authority, and the military and patriotic
spirit of the people, which absorbs all
other interests and opinions. It CEN
sures the loose habits introduced by the
African wars in which the French regu-
lar troops had been engaged, which it
enumerates as want Of discipline, lack of
order, carelessness of bearing and cx-
cess of luggage carried by tho infantry.
The efficiency of the army was weakened,
too, by the excesses of the opposition in
the Corps Legislatif, and of the Repub-
lican press introducing into it the spirit
OF criticism and insubordinntion.
