Will the German hosts occupy the country In- definitely umtil the establishment of a formal gov- ernment with which peace can be made? These are the great questions which absorb the attention of everybody, and to such an extent that events dating on!y a few months back, but of the highest impor- tance, as they were the immediate precursers, and, in some respects, the causes of tne war, are now almost entirely lost sight of. This is but too natural wmid the struggle which has assumed an intensity of national hatred, tasking the utmost efforts of both countries, and taking the character of a rough and tumble fight for lifeand death, Under such deplorable circumstances—passions deeply stirred, minds biased by national prejudices—it must require a jong time, even after peace shall have been restored, before any one Living on this side of the water could begin to write up a faithful account, not so much of the protracted and deadly struggle as of the comparative share of either nation im urging on, by its stubbornness or ambition, the conflict. It may be that Americans, favored by their dis- tance trom the scene of action, by the unbiased re- ports they obtain, in fine, by the birdseye view afforded to them, will be inclined to enlighten the rest of the world as to their impressions respecting the bearing of the two nations previously to the declaration of war; and, should there be any such desirous of taking time by the ferelock and Showing their independence of the old beaten track of historians, who will not even admit that history can be faiinful unless fifty years have gone by, to them the following collection of despatches found by the Germans tn the castle of St. Vioud, and set- ting forth not only public sentiment in France, but -he action of ber governmental and representative bodies, may be of especial value. We will add that no doubt can exist as to their genuineness, it having been vouched for by the Prussian government. When the Germans entered St. Cloud they discovered the business room of the Emperor just as he must have left it when sallying forth to the campaign. As to Germany's diplomatic action in those momentous days, we may at some other time be enabled to furnish you materials; but as France took the initiative the documents that Jollow throw full light upon the action ef both. The following are the original telegrams found at the castle of St Cloud:— F.2ST SERIES, FROM JUNE 29 TO JULY 28, Diplomatic. Pars.
