Some of the journals accuse Trochu Of
feebleness. London kilograms say the
people suffer from lack of fuel and food,
but some mitigation is afforded by the
stores distributed by the Government.

Generals in the field to hasten the move

The German army which is reported to
have retired on Glen is the "Third Army"
under the immediate command Of the Red
Prince, and the same that followed on
the heels of Bourbaki after the defeat
near Orleans. This force is now con-
fronted by what is known as the Army Of
Bordeaux, which recently began an ad-
vance movement toward Orleans. The
forces operating against General Chausey,
under the Duke of Mccklenburg, are at a
considerable distance northwest Of Glen,
which place is situated on the Loire, some
miles east.sotheast of Orleans.
The last sortie from Paris appears to
have been the result Of demonstrations
made by the Germans against the north

Eastern France, indicates that the French
are pushing forward in the direction Of
Belfort, probably with the intention of
raising the siege. Since the movement
begun the French have made considerable
progress, some seventy miles. They seem
to have freed the departments Of Cote
dor, and IIaute- Marine from the presence
of the Germans entirely, and unless a
stand is made at Vesoul, the largest town
in the Iautc-Saone, the French will soon
be in the Departments of EIaut-Rhin and
Vosges.
Free speech is a myth in Germany.
