ALSACE AND LORRAINE.

What Germany Means TO do with Them.
The North German correspondent (semi-ofciaD
says
1--WE are informed. from good source, tn 1t when
peace has been once sigued WIN France the basis
OF the cession of ElsasS and Lothringen-an event
which, in spite Of French gascOnading cannot be far
distant-ithas been decided that these two append
ages of the old German Empire, instead OF being
broken up and apportioned among different States,
are to form a border territory, covering aud pro-
tected by Germany in general and governed, as far
possible, IN judicial and economical point OF
view, according to their existing customs and nsti-
tutions. The fUrtresses OF Metz aud strasburg WILL
naturally, be ganisOned by German troops but the
population Of the two provinces WILL for the present
be dispensed from service in the German army, nor
will they be represented in the Reichstag. The
formation OF German outlying territory, pro-
lection against the flbustering designs OF France,
is Of course only provisional measure, intended to
remain in force till the inhabitants, mindful Of their
old history and lineage, have again heartily thrown
in their lot with German kinsmen. This plan is
based on the national and political lntetests of Ger
many, which is resolved to put stop, once for all,
to French aggression, and terminate the longc
tinued efforts OF France to impose her "protec:O-
rate" on the South German States-in other words,
TO make them her vassas. ss@@. s.

From the Anglo Brazilian Times, august %.
most disastrous accident occurred during the
night Of the Tth OF July, about twenty miles below

hia Fluvial, by which the Purus was sunk, and of
204 persons on board only 73 were saved. The re-
port OF the commander OF the Arary Captain Pereira

sequence OF a steamers lights being seen
ahead He gave orders TO go at half speed. The
Avary was then ascending about sixty feet to
out OF the current OF the Madeira Finding that the
course of the Purus would bring on collision, he
shouted TO her TO stop, and sounded the steam
whistle, but in vain, as the Arary struck the de-
scendng Purus forward OF the port paddle box cut

THE DECADENcE. OF THE FRENCH
Army
From the London Saturday ReuielO.

From the London Saturday ReUieIO.
Nothing in the history of this wonderful
war has so astounded English readers as the
stories constantly received of the decline of
discipline in the French army. 1t was no
doubt well known to men who try to ascer-
tain the facts of things that the discipline of
that army was peculiar-widely different, for
example, from that of Englishmen or Prus-
slams. Frenchmen in hostile country are
very apt 10 get out of hand, to straggle and
plunder, and commit outrages which exaspe-
rate the population, and even in battle they
claim right of opinion, of deciding whether
they will or will not go under fire, which in
most armies would produce mere anarchy.
There were whispers during the Italian war
of extraordinary scenes in the way of strag-
Cling, and after 1859 murmurs were heard
about an entirely new evil having
made its appearance "a spirit of
insubordination in home cantonments,
leading to outrages upon the neighboring
villages. Some very strong representations
upon this subject at one time reached Eng
land, and attracted attention at the Tuileries,
but the esprit dc corps in the French army is
80 strong that it was considered advisable to
hush up everything. 1t was, however, be-
ieved that all these breaches of discipline,
struggling excepted, had two causes, the
imperfection of the commissariat and the cell
bacy of the army; and those best acquainted
with armies-men who knew something of
the secret history of the Peninsular war, of
the China war, and of the momentary but ter
rible outburst of crime which once frightened
Madras-attaehed the least importance to
these stories. There will be stragglers, it
was said, in a conscript army; the outrages
are unusual, and owing to bad management;
and the occasional refusals to advance are
due to the extreme intelligence of the French
rank and file. The men, though familiar with
their officers, obey them cheerfully; they form
up instantly when wanted for service, aud in
action they are beyond praise. In this war,
however, the consensus of opinion is of a
very different kind. Not only English-
men, with one voice, but Frenchmen of re-
pute, attirm that the discipline of the army
has deteriorated in a strictly military as well
as a moral point of view; that the relation be-
tween officer and man has somehow grown
tense-so tense that the officers are afraid
IN some cases to give orders lest the bond

head out, they box his ears sharply and
he goes back again to hunt rats in the
