patch dated Metz, Sth, evening, state
that the Emperor went that morning Il
the headquarters of Marshal Bazaine
who resumed command Of the troop
concentrated at Metz. This is an indi
rect way to contradict the rumor tina
Bazaine was to be made generaissamt
of the whole army Of the Rhine. Th'
Emperor is blind to his own incompe
tency, and disregarding the universa
outcry against it, he will cling 10 the
chief command of the army until
another defeat exhausts the most pa
tient. He gives out he will never return
to Paris alive only as conquerer. La
France asserts that the Prince Imperial,
whose return to Paris was rumored by
all the papers yesterday, is still with
his papa at the theatre OF war, and
that he will not come back unless the
ChaMhers expressly desire it.

as far as heard from, show triumph
for the Democratic candidates.
La Francaise states the situation
generally thus: The French hold the
Eosges and their passages. The Prus-
slams are massing at their ease.
The Opinione Rationale says the re-
ported restoration Of the defences Of
Paris is a farce. \ few scattered dig
gers are employed to delude the public.
kilograms from Metz give assurance
that Bazaine is the real commander OF
the French army while the Emperor is
the mere nominal head. Only two
corps are now here with headquarters
at Metz; others are under McMalfon.
