Our War Dispatches by Mail.

Our special writer's at the seat Of war in
Europe, with others of our correspondents
who date at points outside the range of actual
conflict, supply continuation of our history
of the progress of events in the written exhibit
which appears in our columns to-day. The
letters are dated at Napoleons headquarters
at Metz, at King Williams headquarters at
Cologne, at Maxan, on the Rhine in Bruschal,
Baden, in the fortress of Mayence, in Berlin
and in Paris. The letters are dated to the 9th
of August. Their contents will enable our
readers to more fully comprehend the present
existing situation-a long and bloody war, or
q very sudden peace. Napoleon had sustained
his first reverses at Metz. Douay was dead
Bazaine and Ladmirault were just then in
active motion for the operations which have
since been reported to us in our special de-
spatches by the cable King William marched
to Mayence. Germany had come to the
conviction that the cause of the country must
depend on the great armies then in the field.
Fortresses were set down as Of little value;
the contest must be won by the needle gun,
firm resolve, heart with heart and shoulder
to shoulder. The frat cannonading on the
Rhine had been heard at Maxan, where very
lively scene ensued.
France relied on certain interests, clerical
and otherwise, in South Germany. The CON-
Ing disappointment of the hopes of Bonaparte
In that respect is anticipated in the letter of
our writer In Baden. From Berlin we have
most important special intelligence relative to
the existence and efforts Of grand national
peace league even then. This highly impor-
tant movement was being conducted by Italy,
Austria, Russia and Turkey. Its inception is
noticed pointedly in the communication. Its
termination and fruits may be very sudden and
most extraordinary. Count Bismarck, as will
be seen, was not particularly courteous to our
specials" Paris had heard Of the first
reverses of the French arms. Paris was
amazed ashamed, humiliated and fast tend
ing to the riotous proceedings, which have
since taken place in the French capital Our
special European dispatches by mail are
thus again and as usual of very great
interest
