Marshal MacMahon’s army has certainly arrived there’ and we are of opinion that the Marshal commands the entire force, from the facts of General Trochu having been relieved f,nd placed in command of Paris. MacMahon’'s, oid force consisted of what remained of his own//porps: (the First) after the battle of Woerth, the Fah corps» under General de Failly, and the corps ‘ef General Douay, recently stationed near Belf(yy, In addi- tion he must have the fourth bat! gtions ef each regiment of the army which were 1", aepot when the invasion began, and which were exnounced as.con- centrating at Chalons.

To these must be 4 4aed such of the Garde Mobile as have been Orga'gizged, It was claimed by ‘the French, before Mac’Aahon and Bazaine’s armies ‘were divided, that tare were 200,000 men at Cha- Joos. If this statement be correct the army now ‘sander MacMahony must be very strong. It must de, at least, agg’strong numerically as the army ‘of the Cron’ Prince, which is stated at two hundreand fifty thousand, We are, therefore, tclined t6 the opinion that MacMahon will give battle tothe Crown Prince, though not at Cnaions. Tt 1s altogether possible that the French have already advanced from that place to the fortress of Vitry-le- Francois, near the junction of the Paris and Metz and Paris and Basel railroads. But whether it be there or not we ought certainly \o hear of the wherea- bouts of the Crown Prince before Tuesday next. At present his whereabouts are enveloped in com- plete mystery. No reports of his army come to us from Paris.and none from King William’s headquar- ters. Any speculation as to the probable route his forces are taking would, under the circumstances, be a mere waste of time. POSTSCRIPT. SATURDAY, AUG. 20-8 A. M.

The Fighting Before Metz—Bazaine Strategy. Lonpon, August 19, 1870, A special correspondent writes from Metz on Monday as follows: Yesterday we thought ourselves shut up here and all chance of sending letters gone, for we got nothing even from Parts. But this morning I hear a post will Start for the capital, and I take my chance of your get- Ung what I am able to tell from the inside of a ‘town which 1s surrounded by armies, whether French or Prassian does not much matter so far as news is concerned. At eleven o’clock on Sunday Marshal Bazaine ef- ected a grand reconnolssance with one division of Sadmirault’s corps. At two P. M. a battle com- menced on the right at Borny. Until four it was of Oo great importance. Then the Fourth Army Corps, forming the first line of battle, accomplished a ma- neeuvre intended to deceive the Prussians into the ‘Velief that it was retreating. “4 ‘This was at @ quarter past four P. M. ‘The Prussians fell into the trap, rushed forward and attacked with surprising vigor. Then the Fourth corps, whose retreat to the left was a mere feint, fell at once on the enemy’s flank, while MacMahon, on the right, attacked simul- qaneously. . The Prussian attack in the meantimé had been developed in great force on the French centre. The Movements on both sides were effected with singu- lar precision, and the whole spectacle was like a review at Chalons, The Prussians advanced in close column against the French line, which thelr artillery, splendidly terved as it was, had vainly attempted to shake, The French oMcers considered that the Prussian infantry was relatively inferior to their artillery. ‘The needle gun is heavy and appears to incommode them much when climbing a height or moving rapidly ver broken ground, The soldiers themselves were active. They fire, lying flat on the @rond, seeking cover from every irregularity, but do not use their Knapsacks as the French do to make little ramparts in front of them and rests for their guns. It is trne, as has been sald of the other battles of ‘Woerth and Forbach, that the Prussians firea with great deliberation, while the French rattled away as fast as they could discharge their Chassepots. The regiments most closely engaged were the Six- ty-ninth, Ninetleth,, Forty-fourth, Sixtieth, Third, Eightieth, Fifty-fourth, Sixty-ffth and Eighty-fifth of the line, the Eleventh, and Fifteenth foot chas- seurs, and the Eighth, Ninth and Tenth batteries of the First regiment of artillery. Those which snf- fered most were the Forty-fourth and Nintieth of the line, and the Ffteenth foot chasseurs. The For- ty-fourth especially was terribly shattered while the Eighty-fifth, though in the thickest of the action, lost but thirty-five men killed and wounded. The \Colonel of the Forty-fourth] was killed. The Colonel of the Third:horse chasseurs and Gen- erals Duplessis and Castamer were wound- ed. As it 16 impossible to leave the town and this action was fought, or, at any rate, began at some distance Outside the fortifications I cannot pretend to give you the account of an eye-witness nor a complete account at all. The above detalls are mosuy gathered trom oMcers coming into town after the Sight was over. At the beginning I followed a troop of hussars as Jar as permitted. and what I saw of the fight was from a hillock close by the walle, A staff officer came to summon the Hussar regiments with some ofsers, with whom 1 was seated in a café, In five minutes they rap off and _ halted at first on the hillock above mentioned On s sudden signal they went teaping away to the front, and, ina moment more the artillery on poth wides nad covered the valley of the river and the wholewisible works in front and the ground beyond ‘wyth, a*thick cloud of smoke. There was nothing to do but to return to town. By hatf-past eight in the evening a buletin qwas placarded in the streets saying:—Firing is pearly over. The Prussian lines extended three es, Ground gained in every direc- tion.” Vn dud not say by whom ground was gained,‘ Officers who came back later from the field maimtained that victory rested with the French; that the Prussians had been out-generalled and Jost heavily, while the French weré comparatively little exposed. But a Prusssian officer who came into the café on parole with a French officer, told a different story. Said he “You had better surrender at discretion; we:are more than @ hundred thousand strong. You wiil be crushed. As to the battle you bad your own way at first for we beileved ‘we had only a division in front of us; but you know ‘what the end was.’?

At seven o'clock this morning two Prussian cuiras- siers entered that town. They were followed by four others, and breakfast was served to the whole six, They promenaded the tewn till eight o’clock and with- drew not only unmolested by anybody but carrying off two prisoners—a St. Cyr pupll and one orderly. All this ata mile apd a half from Metz will give you @ noun of the dash and boldness of the Prussian cavalry. Last night we thought we heard the Prus- sians shouting victory, notwithstanding the defeat we believe they suffered, But it seems some of their regiments sing hymns nightly, with accompani- ments from their military bands—a custom they have observed from the battle of Leuthen, where they advanced to the charge singing Luther’s hymn, ‘They follow it with hurrabs.

An early surrender 1s, however, anticipated, after the earnest of the siege will have been sufil- ciently shown; but the impression is not go in the case of Metz. THE FIRST BATTLES. A special correspondent at the headquarters of the Crown Prince of Prussia writes, on the 12th inst:— The more that we gather of the details of the bat- tle of Woeth, the more ciearly does it appear that there was no miracle about the affair—no sudden surprise to military critics, as though a new weapon had been discovered. From the villages in the rear ofthe fleld, 1 gathered far more of the French movements than could be learned from the Prisoners or the villagers upon the field itself, 14 would seem that the imperial commanders in this quarter were altogether outmancuvred by the Crown Prince, and that whatever the merits of the respective small-arm fire may have been, there was no comparing the tactics of the two armies, Some say even now that the chagsepot 1s @ better rifle than the needle gun. But, be that as it may, the French allowed themselves to be 80 placed ag to require no common degree of fighting to save them. First, we hear of their blind confidence and of their cries ‘A Berlin,” while they were in desperate danger. Then came the news of then sur- prise at Weissenburg and of the death of General Abel Douay. He was posted in a corner of the French territory, with & mass of ‘German troops collected upon his flanks, and was mucn further from his supports than prudence warranted in the face of such an enemy. It can never be known whether the French commander would have extricated his men with less loss than they actually sustained had he hved to direct him, for he fell by one of the frst discharges of artillery. Thus was a step gained by the Germans. They had gallantly stormed the position at Welssenburg, ana had begun to shatter the enemy in detail. MacMahon and De Failly were now called upon to act. The former marchea against the Crown Prince with his whole corps d’ armeée, and, as was believed among the French soldiers, expected De Failly to support his left in case of a check. Here again was the impetuous, over-confdent which Frenchmen are apt to show. The secend op- portunity of meeting them in detail was given to the Germans and @ Dloody battle was the result. The Prussians and Bavarians together far out- numbered the corps of MacMahon. We may take it that the Crown Prince had at least half as Many again disposable troops on August 6 a8 his opponents. I have heard’ twelve to seven, on good authority, mentioned as the odds in the fight at Woerth, and before Mac- Mahon nad been long engaged he was sending an ald-de-camp after to beg help from Failly. The distance was not great to Bitche and the messenger must have arrived im time to bring the needed help if only everything haa been ready; but here again overconfidence prevatled, One French corps was destroyed before the other came to its support. I have heard that on Sunday, that is on the day fol- lowing the battle, a@ large force was about in the rear of where MacMahon had fought. People who saw it tell with wonder of therash of the beaten army westward, and the advance of angry and al- most incredulous’ troops toward its front, It was too late to save the five regiments whicn lay strewn over the fields at Woerth, The more desperate their resistance, the more they had been slaughtered, and at last there had been a sort of panic. Frenchmen are bad hands at retreating after @ defeat. It seems certain thar the fugitives from Woerth were in great disorder, as they passed through villages ten miles in the rear. The corps of. Fallly could only have sacri- ficed themselves uselessly. When once MacMahon’s oorps had been demoralized, and to have fought a second battle of Woerth would have been to play into the hands of the Crown Prince, who would have liked nothing better than to en- gage the whole French army in detall and deat them by degrees. We must remember then, he is the better general who has the larger force present in the nick of ime. France is not properly fortified for a war with united Germany. Those little places which hold a few hundred men and did well enough in old times, are useless against modern artillery. There 1s, for instance, an ancient fortress among wood-covered hills, a quaint, ptc- turesque stronghold of Alsace, called La Petite Pierre. Once it was much esteemed as @ check to an invader coming through the vosges, but now it is abandoned without firing a shot. The black and white colors of Prussia waxe over the citadel, and a quantity of military stores have been captured therein. It was not ready for defence nm the lans came. The outer and more important work was unfinished. Therefore, La Peute ‘Pierre was abandoned to the great relief af its inhabitants, who had feared destruction, and the Prussians quietly marched on. Sanaeety fort, an ironclad tower, had been ‘upon this hill of which I speak, the Crown Prince must have sent heavy guns t t I do not say ihat any mere fort @ roadside would hinder the German tnvasion, But this little fortress of La Petite Pierre, among its wood- covered hila, illustrates two polnts of the Frenchmen’s unreadiness for — this upsetung of all thei lans. First, was old fashioned an dnsuMictent; second, it was not equipped for dafence. ‘Ihe movement of troops 18 incessant, though no one is told whither they are going. And, with each advance, jhe Prussians pring forward thetr fleid post and their telegraph. A more perfect system of oryanization it is dim- cult to imagine.

A-FESTIVAL FOR FATHERLAND, German Demonstration at Jones’ Wood. Almost a Fizzle—Speaking to Empty Benches— Oration on German Unity and German Greatness—Scenes Grave and Gay— Donation from Mayor Hall. Jones’ Wood, which has witnessed many a gay festival in times gone by, was yesterday the scene of a,yéte which was expected to be one of the great- est ever seen by the inhabitants of New York. Its object, “to collect funds for the relief of tne wounded and support of the widows and orphans occasioned by the great European war,” was one well calcu- lated, apparently, to awaken all the enthusiasm of the Germans in our midst; but, through some unex- Dlained cause, such was far from being the case. For some time past NUMEROUS AID SOCIETIES have been started in various parts of the city for the laudable purpose of alleviating the sufferings of those wounded in battle, and the Germans have contributed with Profuse generosity to this fund. Jt occurred then to some enthusiastic gentiemen that a monster sum- mer festival, where the gallant Teutons could gratify their national tastes for lager and outdoor amuse- ments, while at the same time they could indulge their patriotic feclings, would be a decided success. The following gentiemen accordingly constituted themselves a COMMITYER, S. P. Heintzelman, Generai United States Army; Philip J. Joachimsen, Judge Marine Court; Jos.

THE ARRANGEMENTS, All the arrangements were made, but at the last moment it became evident that the heart of the Germans was not in the summer festival pro- Ject, and iv endea im fatlure. Whether it was that they did not think it becoming to indulge in festivity while their brothers were shea- ding their blood along the banks of the Moselle and use, Or whether it was that the people did not place confidence in the management, certain it is that in lieu of 20,000 persons expected by the sanguine committee, there were not more than t time during the day. The park 1 at any ng the day. The park was decorated with flags of the United Rintes and thy North German Confederation. The latter flag floated in the breeze from every tree. In the dancing halls 8 really brilliant spectacle was presented. ‘The gay German flags were tastefully festooned, from the ceiling and around the wall the old Ger- man ilag was seen at intervals, alternating with the Stars and Stripes and the new flag of the North German Confederation. At one end of the hall was an allegorical paint- ing representing Columbia and Germania, and at the other end was a transparency representing a Ger- man warrior, which, when illuminated at night, pro- duced a very fine effect, The committee were on hand, with their rich sashes on their shoulders, and everything was ready for the reception of THE EXPECTED MULTITUDE, But, alas! they came not. ‘true some hundreds straggied in from time to time, and by four o'clock about 1,000 persons were scattered over the grounds and lounging in the vast hall. But there was no rush, no crowd of eager pleasure seekers, such as Bd cose seen On a0 occasion of merely local in- resi ‘The day was truly glorions; if anything too hot for more serious business than loliing under the green trees and drinking lager. A fine breeze from the river somewhat tempered the intense heat of the san and made it most delightful wher- ever there was any shelter from the direct rays. Still it was evident that no large gathering would take place, and at length, at half-past four, the com- mittee decided that 11 was time to begin the pro- ceedings. A trumpeter went out on the veranda and gave forth a call to the st lera to assembie In the hall to near the oration of the day. The fol- lowing was THE PROGRAMME, which, however, was not gone through with for va- rious reasons. In the first Place Mile. Janauschek was not in the city.

Jn this way the time passed wearily until the day had faded into twilight and mght was near athand. Then some stir was created by the ARRIVAL OF SHERIFF O'BRIEN, who drove up with his splendid team and remained for some time in conversation withthe members of the committee, who seemed determined to maké the most of the only man of note who had honored the festival with his presence. Mayor Hal’ bad effected a delicate compromise by declining to be present in Person, but atthe same time sending A CHECK FOR $260 for the relief of the wounded Germans. This dona- tion effectually soothed the wounded pride of the committee, most of them understanding the value of ready money. One part of the programme— namely, the delivery of the prol ‘was gone through in the course of the evening, but as the trumpeter omitted to toot the call few beyond those in the immediate vicinity were aware of the fact. ‘The prologue was in poetry and consisted chiefly of @ passionate appeal to the German love of country and a description of the state of Seay as seen in an inary visicn. ‘The piece was delivered by Madam who showed considerable power of declamation and seemed fully possessed by her sub- ct. When she concluded she was loudly applauded yy all Who had the pleasure of uearing her. After the departure of Sheriff O’Brien, who took in at a glance the stale of afiairs, the flirtations usual on such occasions were in full swing. Favored by the kindly “shades of night,’ which now “were failing fast,’’ the youths and maidens who imagined they iad afinity for each other paired off, and down many a dark walk the same oid tale was told which had been told so oft before. The billing and cooing were carried on, while the bana gave forth some plaintive German airs well suited to the hour and to the scene, At length the lamps were lighted, here and calcium lights, were placed in advantageous position, shed a brilitant radiance on one hilly glade, where @ few tents were scattered to represent the camp of Schiller’s hero, Wallenstem. Then the artists assembled and, under those peculiar circum- stances, gave an al fresco performance of that grand historical drama, “WALLENSTEIN’S CAMP.” Then followed fireworks, winding up with two pleces representing the words “United Germany’? and “Our Fritz.” After this the dancing hail was lighted up, and countless Chinese lanterns were hung atevery available point, which produced a very pleasing effect.

Travellers on Broadway last night at ten o'clock witnessed a pyrotechnic display which, while cost- ing the city or country nothing, was far superior to any exhibition ordered by the Board of Aldermen or seen by our Teutonic brethren of Jones’ Wood. From beneath a light shadowy cloud that appearea the northern eavens long fringes. of vapory light shot out, joined and formed an are! of brilliant “hues, Fantastic but beautiful forms fitted across the sky for @ quarter of an hour, and for full thirty minutes the stars, bright and shining, looked down, as the citizens looked up, upon a al cl Of Nght and shade and celestial fireworks. The appearance of the sky was unusual and extraordinary for seve- an hours, aud attracted the attention of nundreds of people. NEGRO AFFRAY AT PATERSON, H. J Avram and William Thompson, two negroes, at Paterson, N. J., got into a quarrel yesterday, in Market street, which ended in a rough and tumble fight, and nearly resulted in @ murder. William struck Abram over ne with the brass end of a hose pipe, felling him to the ground, and causing a deep wound, from which the blood flowed coplousiy, Both were arrested and taken to jail, where they made counter charges of assault and battery. Wil- Ham succeeded in getting security for his appear- ance at court, and was released. Abram, the myured one, failed to be so successful, and was locked up. John Schider, residing in Third avenue, between 119th aud 120th streets, yesterday fell from a building in Fifty-third street, between Fourth and Madison avenues, and was badly jwured, He was taken home by friends, |, to Funch, Edye & SHIPPING NEWS.
