/ NEW YORK, August l0.-A specia
cable dispatch from London says
Letters from Metz speak in most undis
guised way of the calami,ous and fabu
lous incapacity OF the Emperor, Mar
shall lie Bouef and all military dandies
composing the military staff of tn,
army, have utterly lost the confidence
of the army, and changein command
was an absolute necessity to prevent 6
mutiny. All this while there is nc
official news, whatever, Of the where
abouts OF the Prussian army, and, under
the circumstances, no news is bad news

wanted some days before the battle tc
fire the forests in his front, through
which the Germans came down unex
pectedly upon the French, but the EN-
peror declined 10 authorize the step
NJ. Favre, editor of the Soir, who has
Just arrived in Paris from Forbach
SAYS he witnessed the entire destruction
of Frossard's corps and claims to speak
for 10000 French soldiers who were
cut to pieces by the fault OF their lead
ers and who lamented with their latest
cry that they fell uselessly. The uni,
versal cry OF the army, N. favre says,
is: Give US Generals that we can trust
The Soir was hitherto a Government
paper, but it now attacks the Ministry
for clinging to power and augmenting
the garrison of Paris when every soldier
is wanted at the frontier 1t further
saws: Every soldier now here is an insul,
TO us. If you are incapable of saving
Your country, the country must save
itself
\ special correspondent writes from
Paris late on Monday evening the Sth :
From what hear OF the feeling among
the people and army, / think it more
than possible that Napoleon will never
re-enter Paris. The army is sick of his
amateur generalsbip. The statement
in the GauloiS Of secret alliance be-
tween France and Italy, and the expect.
ed Reinforcement of 100000 Italian
troops, is certainly false. No matter
whether the king may have promised
his troops. they would not march. 1t
is rumored in Paris to-day that the En-
peror is expected at St. Cloud incognito.
