sans, and the dispatches received since do not
place him at that point, though they leave it in
doubt where he really is. From the tone of his
dispatches 10 the French government: il would
appear pretty certain that he feels confident OF
being able TO form a junction with McMshon
to make stand against the Prussians.
The apparent inactivity OF the Prussians be-
fore Metz may be due TO two tlliEgs:-They NAV
have been too seriously crippled by the recent
fighting to Immediately resume the offensive: or
they may be waiting for the arrival OF the
Crown Prince with his army OF 80 900 men.
