FROM THE rRIBUNE's WAR CORRESPONDENT.
New YORK, July 27-The Tribuxe's cor
respondent telcgraphs from Metz. "Whea
l arrived here, for the first time, transport
hOrses were 10 be found in numbers They
were heavy, strong looking horses, many Of
them greys. They were picketcd in a large
square, their halters tied to the wheels Of
country wagons; those homes had clearly
j,sA come from the plow and beside them lay
their ordinary harness. An auxilliaIy
corps of peasants had been engssed to con-
duct the wagons; they had no uniforms but
wore red cards on their hats, des,Uting the
corps dc armee to which they belonged. The
court yards of the hotels were crowded
with baggage belonging to the staff
masters. This evening Itook walk with an
acquaintance; 3he asked me, "Doyou observe
anything peculiar about the French officers"
l replied that l did not. He answered,
''They are dressed in marching order: they
embrace, instead Of bow, when they part;
there will be march tomorrow" True
enough, when We got to the hotel the staff
wagons were being loaded, and We were in
formed that Bazaine and at least one division
of his CORPS would set out at daybreak.
Bazaine commando, not only corps d'armc,
hut the left wing Of the French army. My
own belief is that a grand movement acrOrs
the frontier will commence on Wednesday or
Thursday. The centre and nearly the whole
Of the right, except the army of Africa,
which is rapidly coming up, are now in line
between Bitche and Sarregreemins. The
left wing which is immensely strong at Metz
and Knoxville will make for SaarlOins and
Beockenfeldt, the right and centre making
for Kaisers Laotern; thus the movement will
be along the western slope Of Wages, al
though corps will probably be ordered to
move in the parallel direction along the
east of that range to watch de6les and to
give warning Of flank attack. 1t il not nm
likely the French army will then deecend to
the valley of Maize and that the King Of
Prssia, il he Il willing to fight at all ON the
left bank, will accept hattie somewhere about
Kreutzrach, a position strong in itself and
Offering q second retreat upon Mayenoe.

be adequately housed. Cavalry also will not
bear high proportion, probably One-tenth
Of infantry, while these tr"ls are in mag
niRcent state Of discipline, and the officers
much more numerous than those Of Prussia.
I can hardly believe in Pr,issians having
been able to effect such concentration Of
strength as the French have certainly done,

the officers Of war II is received a. at once

many cases with pleasure. Third, the

Of commercial educated, &C., all talk of La
France; how the Prus-ians must be beaten;
how La France should I've and Is united;
how it Is not patriotic to abuse the govern
ment. Fifth, Of the peasantry and lower
classes Of Alsace; their attitude is plain and
unequivvcal; they think that On account Of
the war their homes may be burned, or their
crops and cattle taken by requisition,
although. il must be said, they firmly believe
that this will happen to their German neigh
bors over the border; still they acclaim the
war.
FRANCE ASKS FOR PEACE.
France has inquired through Russia ON
what conditions peace might he made.
Prussia's reply TO Russia was embodied in
four words: at is too late"
