ABSTRACT

The two latest facts of the war are these – that the Crown Prince is pushing on beyond Châlons, and that MacMahon has moved his whole army from Rheims, whither is not exactly known. MacMahon, according to French reports, finds the war getting on too slowly; in order to hasten its decision he is now said to be marching from Rheims to the relief of Bazaine. This would indeed be hurrying on matters to an almost final crisis.
