The Emperor gave precise orders to the effect that the arrival of the missing regiments should be pushed on; but he was obeyed slowly, excuse being made that it was impossible to leave Algeria, Paris and Lyons without garrisons. Nevertheless, the hope of carrying out ‘| the (original) plan of the campaign was notlost, It was thonght that the enemy would not be ready before us. Ilis movements were not known, nor in what quarter lis forces were being massed ; and it was with a view of determining these things that, on the 2nd of August, tentative steps were taken at Saarbruck ; but, upon the 4th, the attack upon the Douay Division at Wissembourg, by imposing forces, and, two days later, THR GLORIOUS AND FATAL BATTLE OF FREICH- . Wweier, caused all uncertainty to pass away.

Unfortu- |nately, however, the two Generals whe jsueceeded McMahon, after he was | wounded, in the command of the army, each proposed a different plan; and, as }a consequence, the plateau of Illy, which was the most importaut position, was but feebly occupied. THE BATTLE OF @EDAN REGUN. Before 5 o'clock, in the morning of September 1, the attack commenced to- ward the East at Bazeil'es, extending to Moncelle and Givonne, and to the West upon the heights of Floing. At 5 o’clock Marshall reMahon : ceeded to the advanced posts near sg eilles, and sent to inforw the Emperor, who mounted his horse and hastened to the field of battle. On his way he met.
