Napoleon's pamphlet on the campaign
of 1870, and the causes which led to the
capitulation at Sedan. The Emperor
recalls to mind his manifesto, issued
just after the declaration Of war, and
the misgivings with which he listened
TO the cry, "On TO Berlin He says
his plan was to mass 10000 men at
Metz, 100000 at Strasburg, and $4,000
at Chalons, and to cross the Rhine at
Hagenau with large force, in order to
separate Southern Germany from the
Northern Confederation He hoped to
win the first great ia tie and secure the
alliance of Austria and Italy in impos-
ing neutrality on Bavaria, Baden and
Wurtemberg The defects in the
French military system, and the delay
IN bringing up men and material, de-
leated this plan. He enu:aerates the
difficulties encountered, but acquits the
War Office OF blame. The pamphlet
closes with the declaration that the
German successes are due to the supe-
riority OF numbers, improved artillery,
vigorous discipline, respect for author
ity, and the military and patriotic spirit
of the people, which absorbs all other
interest and opinions. 1t censures the
loose habits introduced in the African
wars in which the French regular troops
had been engaged, which il enumerates
as want OF discipline, lack OF cohesion,
absence Of order, carelessness of hear
ing, and the excess of luggage carried
by the infantry. The efficiency Of the
army was weakened, too, by the ex-
ccsses Of the opposition in the Corps
Legislatif, and of the republican press
introducing into it spirit of criticism
and characterization.

LONDON, November 3-General Carl

Madrid, tu, she allowed him to slaugh-
ter the Spanish nation. Referring to
the United States, the General says that
one of Washington great family barely
permits the Republic to fling word of
sympathy to the brave descendants of
Lafayette. Thou, who first proclaimed
the emancipation of races classical
land OF liberty! home Of the exile
wilt thou abandon in this struggle OF
giants thy sister nation, who marched
and will again march at the van of hui
man progress? Heroic struggle. He
concludes France is in ruins because
her army of braves was led by the stu
pidest tyrants; but the nations neart
has risen as one man and will make
the old autocrat OF Prussia repent her
satanic butchery. The order closes
with an appeal to the soldiers, declaring
that their courage is unquestionable,
but that they want coo!ness ana uisclp-
line, so Indispensable in war.
