lie afforded an opportunity OF seeing in minia-
ture an exact counterpart Of the great bonn
bardment. The map itself is novelty In
newspaper enterprises novelty which will
be welcomed and appreciated for the
information 1t conveys and the instruc-
ton 1t gives. Valuable as is the mere
printed record OF important passing
events, 1t would be incomplete without
illustrations from nature. The map we pub
lish this morning gives with picturesque
graphicness complete view Of all that we
have been publishing since the first shell was
fred into Paris. Ordinary maps could not
do this. They only enabled one to conceive
the Importance of what had transpired but
our publication this morning enables the
reader to perceive and understand.
Nor should we omit to state that the pre-
cision with which all the German batteries
and French positions are laid down is not the
result of any calculation made here and
founded upon knowledge Of the number Of
miles between Paris and the several points at
which the German batteries are located. On
the contrary, the map is drawn from informa-
tion furnished by our correspondents at Paris
and Versailles and telegraphed per cable.
These special dispatches give the number Of
metres between Paris and the German guns,
and describe with accuracy the range and
course Of the shells, tracing them from their
departure from the guns till they fall in the
forts or in the French capital.
Thus it is that the HERALD ministers to the
public demand for information. With our cor
respondents and artists on the spot and our
engravers at hand our facilities are unrivalled
for furnishing at the earliest moment, both in
writing and illustrations, every prominent
event of the war In Europe. Years hence
the historian Of the great struggle between
France and Germany need not look beyond
the files of the HERALD for materials for
his history. Our record from the inception of
ths e2ptest t9 the present day is fuller IL m and
more complete than, and as accurate as that
of any other prominent journal published
in the United States or in Europe, excepting
only those great English journals the Lon
don Times and the Telegraph. We
hardly need assure the public that we shall
continue to display, regardless of labor and
expense, the same enterprise in the future as
in the past, so that the HERALD may hold, to
the remotest generation, the foremost posi-
ton in American journalism
The New York herald., 1871-01-22

PRESIDENT GRANTS ADMINISTRATION will
be marked by many important measures, not
the least Of which are the great reduction of
the national debt and the adjustment of the
Alabama and fishery questions. England is
anxious to come to a full and definite under
standing upon the causes OF difference with
the United States, and has already conceded
several points which at first she strongly con-
tended for. Canada, also, is concerned in the
settlement of the fishery question, and has an
agent in Washington looking after her interests.
This latter matter, it is believed, will soon be
compromised, and the rights of American
fishermen fully protected.

There Is nothing particularly new In the
situation Of affairs In France to-day different
from that which was published in the HERALD
OF yesterday. The little which we have from
the East shows that BourbaH has been beaten
and that his army now stands in danger.
According to General Won werder the retiring
French were being followed by the vanguard
OF the German army, and a general ad-
vance along the whole German line was on
the point Of being inaugurated. This move
ment, we presume, is only delayed until the
reinforcements under General Manteuffel come
up. 1t is safe to infer, therefore, that with
the German army strengthened by these new
accessions Bourbaki will be no match for the
army which will be opposed to him. If he
was not able to beat Won Werder what chance
will he have against ManteufEeL at the head Of
vastly superior forcep Had the French
been successful in destroying Won Werder's
army In the East and followed up the advan-
tages which would surely follow, 1t might have
put different phase upon the future conduct
Of the war. That the German line of COM
munication would stand In danger is clear.
The aim Of Bourbaki evidently was first to rem
der Won Werder's army useless and then to
direct his attention to the German line Of
communication, but it is also evident that
Won Moltke was determined to guard
against surprise in that direction.
With this view Manteufel was sent to
reinforce Won Werder. The campaign
thus far in the East has been disastrous to the
French, and the Germans, without weakening
their lines about Paris or drawing on the
forces watching Chanzy and Faidherbe, have
almost as effectually wound up the campaign
in the East as they have done elsewhere.
Regarding the movements of Chanzy and
Faidherbe we have little or no news. 1t is
evident no battle has occurred, nor no new
movement been made, or we should have
heard oft. The bombardment of Paris has
not been carried out with that same degree of
vigor which characterized it earlier in the
week. Various reasons are assigned for the
slackening of the fire. In connection with the
German operations outside Paris, and as an evil
dence of German daring and something wholly
apart from the admirable discipline which dis
tinguishes the German army, mention may be
made ofthe act of German field battery about
a aweek ago, before the village of Bougival. With
daring unparalleled drking the whole cam
paign the battery left the German lines dashed
into the open field and took up position
within two thousand yards of Fort Valerien.
In this position, with the great guns of the
fortress frowning down upon them. the artillery
men fred three rounds of shell, then, lmber-
ing their guns, the Germans retired without
man injured. This act, SO bold, so reckless,
SO full of daring and pluck, stands out in bold
relief as one of the many incidents of the war
which will not be forgotten. 1t is the same
determined spirit prevailing throughout the
German army, directed by the genius of
great soldier, that has rendered the armies Of
Germany invincible in the present war with
France
