laris, is a vessel Of 400 teus burden,
with a crow CIV, of 90 picked men, and in
organizing 2the expedition gu of the
appliances Of modern, science! have
boen called into " "reqaisition:: The
vessel has been proyisioned for four
years, :. and, with its 10000 lbs, of

The novel and daring feature of

cumulatc the fact presents itself that the
larger portion Of Chanzy's army. estimat-
ed mt so 900 men, has been forced to re-
treat towards Laval. about forty miles
west Of lie Mans. while smaller portion,
estimated at some 30 900, rctreated to-
