The Situations.

The tenor OF the dispatches this morn
ing is that the Prussian advance on Paris
goes. steadily on, and that the Grown
Princes army is within six days marchi
that a, large part Of the armies surround
ing BAzA1NE near Metz hasbeen detached
and is movingunder FREDERIcK CHARLES
in tho same direction; that the extreme
right Of, this moving army has had
a sharp light With French troops
near tho SaBelgian border, and is
cutting the railway constituting the
clrcuitous Northern route from Metz to
Paris 1t seems probable that Gen. Mo
AIAuoN moved from Rheims into the re.
.gion where fighting Is reported; and that
the PrussiGnS advancing westwardly and
southwestwatdly, enyeloping large
breadth of country IL thGir' march
will encounter MCAiEHoN's army, il
they have not; already done ,so.' :;
The fight at stenay may be that rumorcd

a series between MCMAHON and CHARLES
If thei former is willing to make stand
lie will hardly be permitted to funk. the
Prussians OH their right and get across

There is no silver lining yet to the cloud
bf disaster that covers the French arms
Unless BAzAlNE can do something bril-
liant and get his army freed from IT.

Prussians can be kept away from Paris
longer than week or. ten days, This
