This direcalamity, which `NT overwhelms Europe with dismay, is, it is now too clear, the act of France-of one man in France. It is the ultimate result of personal rule. Clear sighted people hadtoo good a reason to believe that they could detect the Emperor Napol_eon s designs against Prussiatin . "his appointment of the Due de Gram- mont `to the office of his Secretary of State fur-Foreign Affairs. _ M. de Gam- mont was well known for his perfect- neutrality in home politics. He was a thorough-paced, devoted State servant, and had .lled the postof French Am- bassador-at Vienna for the lust nineteen years, including the disastrous crisis at Sadowa. Recalled from Vienna, and "entrusted withthe management of the Foreign: Office, M. de Gammont had not been many days in oice when he - startled the world by those few words read in the Legislative Body-words which were substantially a repetition of the Emperor's famous New Year's greeting to the Austrian Ambassador in 1859. M. de Gammont s words in the chamber, we repeat, were not spoken, but read. They had been carefully weighed and sifted, and, whether or ` not they had been drawn up with the consent of M. de Gammont s colleagues, they had been certainly submitted to, if . not actually inspired by M. de Gam- mont s `master. In the same manner, tuo, it-is hut fair to surmise that it was i with the Emperor's concurrence, if not at his suggestion, that M. Benneditti- a diplomatist of more than twenty years standing, and, therefore,` not ex- cusable on the score of tinacquaintance _with civilized us_ages-aggravated an oensive _message by the unheardtof discourtsey with which he delivered it. It is only too .' easy to appreciate with what spirit and with what aim a ne- gotiation which began with a gratuit- ous threat, and ended with an "insult ` was ' undertaken and conducted. It was a slapin the face given with the` left hand, while the right is already on the hilt. of the sword. It was the deed ofa duellist, grasping an adver- sary by the throat with the cry, "Your honour or your lite! It is now too evident that nothing short ofau amount of humiliation to which no powerful. nation could submit, would have given Prussia a chance of escape. The opportunity for showing the wonders of the Chassepot and the Mitraileuse was not to be resisted. France attered herselftthat she was iuarching to cer- tain victory.

We passed one of the three camps iiowrformcd muud Metz on our way directly we had cleared an innumerable multitude of gates, glacis, portcullises, and drawbridges. I count- ; j ed four of these latter, and my friend, the English officer above mentioned, says I missed one, and that were ve in all. Soon after we had quilted the town and passed the camp or Ban-St. Martin, we got among the vineyards, the vinesiunniiig right down to the ` edge ofihe road, in many cases with- out even a ditch to protect tliegrapes from the gamins of Metz. _ After about half an hour s drive our carriage was brought to a standstill by a long train of artillery waggons, whose drivers had stopped to breathe their horses, in front ofns, and now our cocher began to show ya signs of fear. He wanted to stop, say- .1 ing he could not get past the waggoiis, t but just as he was speaking they start- , ed off} and he consented to go on again. 5 3 About a quarter ofa mile further on he I s came to another step, and this time he, d a refused to ` be comforted, expressing S 1 lively fears ofthe sentinal in sight at d 3 the fort, about a quarter ofa mile high- 1 1 er up, making use of his Chassepot if b i we went a yard further. There ' was ti - nothing for it -biit to get out and -walk, l f so we trudged up the steep and dusty `V l _road to the entrance of the fort. The e I sentinel" received us very politely, and I showed no signs of making any hostile 3 - use of his musket. He told us we must `7 . come with him tothe guard-room, and 3 ' speak to the `serge nt. The sergeart ` referred usto captain commanding, am l we _sat down to wait for that personage 3 in his bureau in one of the casemates. Getting tired of waiting, we asked ll . leave to go out and seek the captain, 5` v and soon- met him riding back from a 1` sirter fort hard by. When he heard " : whatwe wanted, he demurred a little 9 g at rst ;. but after havingexamined our 3 passports, and satised himself that 3 they were en regle, he not only decided ll td let us visit the fort but told one of H the lieutenants on duty to accompany f` ' us and do the honours.

At the present moment. there are` all kinds ofabsurd rumours in circula- tion as to ghts between the French and Prussian outposts ; but Ihave good ; reason to believe that up to the present . nothing whatever has happened. Mari shal Bazaine is at the Hotel de1 Europe, opposxite where I am writing, and, al- though his horses are standing ready saddled in the courtyard, and those of his staff in this hotel, he has not yet moved. The telegraph is practically entirely taken up by the Government, and even letters come in the most wild and eccentric manner. Unless the troops move forward very quickly, there will be a. sort of famine here ; for all communication for heavy goods, not only with Paris, but anywhere else, is absolutely cut off. Of course, the peasants -come in daily with meat, vegetables and fruit, but even they are beginning `to fail us. as the horses are all being carried off to drag guns and baggage-waggons, and the country peo- ple will soon have none left to drag their. carts. Now, however, in a few days there will be a seriousmove to the front, but I fancy this will be half way or more to New York before there is anyserious ghting. Tomorrow I shall push "forward to the frontier, and, J if possible, get a look at the Prussian sentries. A telegram has just come to headquarters to say that half the army of Africa is safely "landed at Marseilles, and en route for Metz and Stratsbourg. The other half will not belong in com ing now, and as soon as they are" here we shall begin business in earnest. .,......, unuy nave very utue poetry m 4 their looks, though many of them wear the Legion of Honour for braveryoin carrying drink and help to the wound- edore. ` ((1- .1 THE VIVANDIERS.

They had each a tarpaulin over them, but it was plain to any one who had ever seen a mitraillense what they were. Beside the cure taken to pre- avent any one from coming near them was snfcient to show that they were not common sir-ponnder eld-pieces. It ig hardly necessary to tell you read- erst.`1a.t the tremendous secret about these weapons is no secret at nll, there being .drawings of the French weapons in every arsenal in Europe. It is be- side well known that the French Govermen-.t has adopted a very inferior modeltro zfmtchosen by the Belgian, Prussian, and British Goverment. The Prussians, too have a model of their ` own which is superior to the French. Au artillery oticjers are unamimous in declaring that mitrailleuses will only be able to be used in pecllliart places" ' and circumstance--in the lrcadtll of a fort, in as narrow dele, Or in street- ghting. It is doubtless for the latter purpose that the French Goverment think they may want their present largestock. The range of the mitra- illegse being far inferior to that of the lightest eld-pieces, they would be silenced In the eld. eld for more than three months at a time, for as by their system they take "all men, `of all ranks and occupations alike, to ght, they exhaust themselves terribly in a very short time, all `com- merce and business being at a complete standstill while the war lasts. This, of course, is an enemy s opinion, but `that of an intelligent one. He told us how two Prussians had been taken in the forts on the opposite side of the , valley. One of them, a captain of en- gineers, was recognized by a Prussian Workingman, employed on the earth- works. The man told his comrades that there was Captain von-- , walking on the bastion; the guard was turned out, and the captain was ar- rested; 10,000 francs were found on him, ,_'and he at once owned who he wasn lie is now meditating on the errors of his ways in the military prison at Metz citadel. Major Andre was ,1 hung for less, for the Prussian was in plain clothes, and owned that he was : seeking information as to the new for- tications. I should not omit to ment- ion that the fact of these same forti- cations having been commenced some months ago is a clear proof`, if proof It were needed, of how the French had long ago determined to be prepared for . an offensive war on the first opportun- ity. For the new forts are not merely destined to defend Metz. The town is magnicently fortied as it is. No, they are intended to protect a vast`en- campment as at the present moment, or to give shelter and breathing time to a beaten army. No'32.

It was the 59th Prussian. regiment and not the 50th, as before reported, which was engaged in this battle.
