melancholy; because it seems to bt
the only sort of simulated enthusiasm
that this debauched usurper can invent
in his calamity.
| With two or three extracts we will
conclude this somewhat protracted ar
ticle. Under the date of Paris Aug. D
we have the following:
The Steele, this morning, comment
ing on the statement that the 1mperi-
al headquarters are at Rheims, says:
s.WhO cares? McNahOn can only have
one headGuarters-thec centre of opera
tons. The Imperial headquarters can
be only 4 Superfiuity, an embarrass-
ment, Il pretext for losing battles. The
crisis is too dangerous to talk of in q
private headquarters anywhere near
the COMMANDMENTS
La Liberte firmly demands of the
Deputies, referring to the stormy ses-
sion of the corps Legislatif yesterday,
that they shall efface all individuality
IN our hour of need. We must not
compromise the future of France.
There must be one grand object in
view. The country gained great
victory in one day-many hundreds
of millions were paid into the treasury.
The Prus>ians for two months have
vainly sought to procure less sum.
Why, after our rebels had fought
for four weary years there was more
day in Paris-more courageous hope
for ultimate victory, We mean.
Under date of London Aug. % we
have the following:
Paris is utterly without dates from
the seat of war.
The intre nchments around Metz are
completed.
1t Is believed that deputation of
the Corps LegiSlatiff have gone to the
Emperor TO demand his abdication.
The announcements of the Organiza-
ton of 4 Provisional Government of
France is imminent.
\ quarter of Il million fac SMILES of
Benedetti's secret treaty have been
sold here since the war began.
French reports of the violation of
Belgian neutrality by the Prussians
are untrue. Belgium was first inclin-
ed to grant Prussia leave to transport
her wounded through her territory on
the ground of humanity, but finally
declined.
And now let us read the concluding
lines of what the Tribune's correspond
ent who writes from the battle field of
says ofthe last great battles
results. After describing the terrible,
stern, determined onslaughts of the
Prussians and the manner in which
they carried every point they fought
for, driving the gallant French for
miles and mingling their dead in
double proportion with the enemy, he
says:
What the battle of GravelOtte had
actually meant, we now knew. The
held the strong heights be-
yond the Boise de Naux, which COM
mands the surrounding country to
the limits of artillery range from Metz.

zine could march to Paris for its relief
or for his own escape We knew a +,
victory greater than that ofSunday and
more decisive than the triumph Ofthat

point to look on the field. 1t was a
long stretch of white cloud, with two
rows OF burning buildings at either
end. The day had been beautiful, so
far as nature was concerned, and the
stars now looked down in splendOr
supreme on the work of agony and
death. such as no one could ever wish
10 see again.
Is there any wonder that ''Paris is
