lie Gaulois says it is reported that the
Prussian Administrations Of Alsace aud
Lorraine are exceedingly tymnnical and
exacting.
The Constitutional says the army of
the Prince Royal, reinforced by part of
the army of Frederick Charles, is march
ing on Paris through the valleys Of
Aube aud Seine. The Prussians must
know how adventurous is such an
attempt, aud are aware Of the peril 10
which they are leading their main army.
Mcmahon will cut their communication
and place them between two fires; 10
avoid this danger the prussians made
great efforts. They three times attacked
BaZaine with oyerw helming force. which
the French army successfully resisted.
The enemy then despairing OF being able
to conquer hun. decided TO keep Bazaine
checked and march on to Paris. From
Paris to Sierck. the nearest point on the
German frontier. is more than 100
leagues. This line the Prussians must
defend against our army, numberless
sharpshootors, and the Garde Mobile, to
be able to subsist on our territory. The
GO. 600 invading Prussians must extend
their lines vastly and must dispense their
forces, thing so fatal TO us in the COM
mencement Of the campaign. Our re-
yenge, says The Constitutional, in con-
clusion, is near.
Figaro says, contrary TO the line Of con-
duct hitherto pursued, and the change
is important, to show how often the
military plans of the French have been
modified during the last week by the
authorities, the people are invited to i'm
pede the enemy by all possible means.
Bridges are TO be blown up, rails cut,
roads blocked, scouts killed and the
Russians TO be harrassed in flank aud
