CHANZY BEFORE DEFEAT. The Army of the Loire in Splendid Condition. Whe Prussians Within Ten Miles of Le M£ans. PROSPECTS OF A GREAT BATTLE, ERS ARMY OF THE LOIRE, bi eet MANS, Jan, 10, 1871. : Probably the most eventful campaign of the pre- sent war will be at white heat in leas than ten days, ‘when the whole of Chanzy’s army will have entirely recovered from the disasters inflicted by the enemy upon the left wing of the Army of the Loire, GENERAL CHANZY himself is now ill, suffering from a sore throat and rheumatic pains in his limbs, which, however, only incapacitate him for fleld service. At the état major he attends every day and assiduously watches every detail. Iam convinced that ho 13 a great man, a vevere aisciplinarian, watchful of his advance posts, #0 cautious as not to be surprised, willing to profit by mistakes and ready to compel obedience to every order. Under his command the mobiles have be- ome soldiers and machines, They no longer smoke in the ranks, but even if wading through slosh and mud they keep in column and can be whirled into line of battle without delay. The datly exercise is Bevere, thorough, rain or shine, and the officers Dave been selected with great care, General Ohanzy guards his railroad communications, Re has a betcer organized system of sup- plies and provisions than I ever saw in the Prussian army, though I traversed it from ter- minus to terminus; and he has not only the hardy Bretons, but marines in great numbers, Turces, a Gashing scout service composed entirely of Alge- Tiang officered by the French, including tne Franca-tireurs. The artillery is constituted of all field cannon known to war, and tne primers are ex- ploded by the best gunners of the fleet. Horses here are magnificent, and the amateur can see more fine Arabians, splendidly marked and beautifully jormed, than at any other point of the Conunent. These horses have great endurance and they never fag. Chanzy is very popular and has the confidence fot omy which I set down, all comprised, at LE MANS a it 1s one vast general headquarters, filled rolling stock, military stores, soldiers, oMicers ana gendarmes. The army is encamped around im city, and its front extends along a line of wenty miles, Soldiers do not make {ree because ‘ance is @ republic. They are excluded from the cafés and enjoy no more liberty than regulars did under the imperial régime, THE WHOLE ARMY 13 BEING FED Ppon, the richest food to bring up tneir fighting , and 600 beeves a day are slaughtered, 75,000 jogrammes of bread distributed, with large ra- ms of wine, This morning I saw 1,000 of the choicest beeves ever beheld in France. This vast and liberal comm: jat amazes every one, I find nothing but Chassepots, Sniders, iemingtons or @nuilpoxes aniong tne soldiers. ‘THE ORGANIZATION like the economy of a household, and all the gol- rs need isto fight well before tue enemy. Long battalions for the front, excited newsbeys, the departure of rapidly succec ne trains, the soxiety for the news and the terribie dia of tue cor- net keep the city in a roar. The mobil ee ave also here in force. ‘They are she best formed and most military looking the whole command, but I imagine do not take mobilization well. The gendaimerte of France 86,000 strong, and it was too powerful an im- rial influence not te be disintegrated for military doueranres AGAINST LANDED PROPRIETORS, Great complaint is made against French landed A rietors that they receive the Prussians warmly ir chateaux and their owa soldiers coldly, BALLOON NAVIGATION, M.

THE GOVERNMENT ON THE GARONNE, The Acting Government of Provincial France— ‘The Representatives of Foreign Powers in Bordeaux—Tho Newspapers of the City and Their Proclivities. BorpEavx, Jan 10, 1871. ‘The continuity of receptions customary on New Year’s Day at the various European courts has been ruptured, Statesmen and politicians are suddenly "elieved from anxiety coupled with the ceremonies and etiguette at the Tuileries, The traditional speech from the throne at the Salle de Diane belongs pow tothe things obsolete, and the general public Reed not trouble their heads about what the Empe- ror said. While Paris continues under a strict blockade, Bordeaux, provisionally the capital of France, has declined to usurp the honors of the day, as shown by the laconic announcement in the Mont seur, of which the following is a translation:— e de] een of the government of the national etos ecided that, in view of present circum. ces, there will be nO public reception on New ears Day. Functionariés and employés of all grades are congeeqently exempted from niaking the nsual visits. The Ministerial Bureau will be kept pen on January 1, as ou ordinary days. r LEON GAMBETTA, ‘Thus the Ambassadors and Ministers have had it all their own way this season; probably they may arrange among themselves an imprompt u court cir: @le. All the principal countries of Europe are repre- sented at Bordeaux—excepting, of course, Germany. I subjoin a list of the various representatives:—Great Britain is represented by Lord Lyons, formerly ac- Gredited to the United States; Prince Metternich ts the Minister Plenipotentiary and Envoy Extraordi- Bary for the Austrian empire; Spain has a Onargé @’ Affaires In the person of M. de Hernandez; Greece, M. Phocion Rocque; the Chevalier de Nigra repre- gents the King of Italy; the Marquis de Selsal the King of Portugal; General Nazaraga is Chargé d’Af- faires for Persia; Baron Okoueneff represents the Russian empire; Count Steenbock Sweden and Nor- ‘Way,and Djemil Pasha is the Minister Plenipotentiary nd Envoy Extraordinary for Turkey. In addition to these ten legations we have a Papal Nuncio, Mon- fignore Chigi. The American mission has remained in Paris, but the interests of the United States are re- resented here by the Consul, Mr. Clinch. In this connection it may be Intercsting to repeat the names of the members representing the delega- tion of the national defence, resident at Bordeaux:— M. Leon Gambetta, Minister of Interior and Acting Minister of War; M, Crémieux, Minister of Justice and president of the delegation; Admiral Fourichon fepresenta the navy; M. Glais-Bizoin, Minister with- out portfolio, In regard to the latter it may be uoned that there are strong rumors predicting resignation. The other branches of the adminis- tration are represented by assistant secretaries, Mlelegated by the ministers resident at Paris, thus The Count de Chaudodory is Qcting for the Minister ef Foreign affairs; M. de Roussy, Finances; M. de Bourenille, Public Works; M. de Frécinet, Chicf of she War Department, and M. Steenackers, Director General of the Post OMice ana Telegraph Depart- ment. Considering the extraordinary diMcuities ander which the whole service is necessarily Jaboring, 1¢ seems quite marvellous t the regularity with which tre POM tae conducted. The apparent absence of n 18 all the more remarkable since Probably Tew of the old functionaries aro now in Moe; at all events they aro locked up in Parts, @nd most of the men in charge are comparatively ew to the profession they have embracet, Jt can- hot be repeated too often that M. Gambetta ts the Soul and body of all. He is apparently a man who pan master every subject; his resources equal his energy. Those who have wijpensed the confusion which existed at Tours in the pani of the month of October can alone appreciate tho enor- ie amount of work that has been accomplished, ‘hore Was not at that period neither a soidter nor prife, while at the Biorent monjent there are more ‘an 600,000 men in the field, and as many more are ards, his 1s all due to the stated in my letter NEW YORK H#RALD, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUAXY 1, 1871.—WITH SUPPLEMENT. x the local and provincial press, and, condiy, 1s Parisian press, edushed temporarily at Bordeaux, The Gtronde the only one giving unqualified support to M.

For mstance the Franca, though ostensibly republican, is published in the interest of the Orleans Prinves, and the Gazeite de France in the interest of tue Chambord party, Con- sequently if they attack the provisional govern- ment we know perfectly wel tho reason why.

It is idie to think that the contest before Paria can be carried on beyond the end of this month, and by it M. Gambetta seems determined to stand or to fall, VENEZUELA. Iegal Detention of an American Veasel—Protest of the Captain—Formal Demand for Indemnity— Pulgar’s Exaciions—Guzman Blanco’s Cir- cular to Venezuelan Consuls—-Ho Announces ths Accession of His Goverament, MaRACAInO, Jan. 2, 1871, The detention of the schooner J. M. Morales at Maracaibo drew forth a strong protest from Captain P.O. Hooper, master. It appears that Pulgar, who was greatly in need of money, after levying on all the merchants of the city, enueavored to blackmail the owners of the Morales, on the ground that the owners of the ca:go were shippers of Maracaibo. They refused his demands, and the vessel, alter being detained fourteen days, was allowed to go. The captain, previous to leaving, made the following formal protest througu the American Consul at this por':— By this Pron lustrument of declaration and pro- test, be if known and made mauifest unto ail to whom these presents shail come or may con- cern, that on the 12th day of December, 1870, before me, Teleman CU, Jutung, Consui of the United States of America jor Maracaibo and the dependencies thereof, personally came and appeared P, O, Hooper, master of the American schooner J. M. Murales, of New York, of the burden of 177.49 tons or thereabouts, now ly- ing in the port of Maracaibo, who duly noted and entered with me, the said Consul, his protest to serve and avall him and ai others whom lt dotn or May concern as need and eccasion may require; and now, ou this the 14ih day of Veceniber, 1s70, beforeme, the said Consul, again comes the said P. oO. Coen and requires me to extend his protest; and being by me duly swora on the Holy Kvaugelists of Almighty God, did freely and solemuly declare, depose and state as follows, tuat 13 to say:—l'nat the said American schooner J. M. Morales, of which he is master, having taken in her cargo for the port of New York, was duly cleared at tne Custom House of this port on the ist instant and at the United States Consulate on the sd instant, when, on applying for a pilot to convey the vessel to sea, he was refused oue, on the growid that tue outlet to the lake was in the possession of the ene- mies of the government and the port consequently closed; that on the 6th mstunt this city surrendered to the same party holding the fort at the mouth of the lakes, and the following day the said Cousut ap- lied. vo the new authorities for a fort piss to enable the said vessel tO leave, which be fnully, unremitiing exeruons, Obtaimed et the fovernment house ou the 12th instant, duly signed by the secretary of the government id afterwards countersigned by the captain of the port, who then provided the said schooner with @ pilot, when she weigiied anchor at four P, M. and made saul fer the port of destination; and, fur- thermore, tie said P. O. Hooper deposes and states, that on leaving tiis port, waen at the distance of a mile or thereabouts from her mooriugs, the said schooner, J. M. Morales, was hailed trom one of the national vessels of war stationed off tie port and ordered to heave to. A small boat was then sent with orders for the pilet to come ashore, watch he Soon aid in the boat of the said schooner, and on his return shortly after reportea that he nad been commanded, in the name of the President, to return the said schooner to her former auchorage, where she arrived at half-past flve P. M., aud there remained uutil the present date, when he was notifled by the suid Consul of permission naving been granted for his sald vessel to leave; wherefore the said P. 0. Heoker, master, fearing serivus detri- ment to the sald schooner from the worms common to those waters, and having been at a daily ex- pense of fiity dollars, and detatned most arb.trartiy and unlawlully, to the prejudice of all mverested 1n vessel and cargo, lie is forced to protest, and by these presents does mest solemnly protest, against Gen- eral Venanlo Pulgar, Presiaent of tue State, indl- vidually, and against the goverumeut of the United States of Venezucia, which he represents, for ail losses, damages, charges and expenses wiich te said schooner J.

One of Mr. Bergh’s men, passing through the Bowery recently, noticed-a diseased horse in front of atruck. No one was with the vehicle at the time, and the officer proceeded to take possession, when an Irishman, one Michael Comisky, of No. 415 East Nineteenth street, emerged from a liquor store near by and protested against Bergh’s represen- tative taking such a liberty with his property.

Ha 1t not been tor the latter spotting this poor, worn- out and diseased creature when he ad, no doubt Mr. Comisky would have continued to have worked the horse and stabled him among others, thereby spreading one of the horriple diseases to which the monte is subject, In addition to the danger to human eins.

Disputing the Validity of a Testa- mentary Document. Singular Developments Before Surrogate Coffin— A Bitter Domestic Feud—The Bone of Con- ten ion a Quarter of a Million Dol- lara—How it is Alleged the An- cient Testator was Coerced. An interesting case of a contested will, evolving singular developments of » domestic nature, and involving property to the amount of about $260,000, was commenced before Surrogate Owen T. Cofin, of Westchester county, at White Plains, on Monday. The litigants are a brother and two sisters, all three being children of the testator. ‘The family ig one of the oldest and, perhaps, most extensively known throughout the entire county, From the testimony elicited before the Surrogate it would appear that John Bussing, Sr., deceased, was A PROSPEROUS FARMER, living near Williamsbridge, in the town of Yonkers; that he accumulated property to the amount of $250,000 and upwards; that avout twenty-five years ago, as set forth py some members of his family, he becamo fearful for the safety of hig possessions, by a reported § ac- cident on the Harlem Railroad, in which connection it was said that acow had got on the track, through an imperfect fence owned by him, and had thrown a train off the track, oceasioning serious loss of life. Entertaining the bellef that he would be held responsible for the disaster, to the amount of $25,000, HE BECAME DESPONDENT and took,to his bed, which he kept continuously from that time to his death, a period o! twenty-two years. While an apparent invalid it never could be discovered that he was suffering from any physical disease, nor was he attended by any medical man until a few weeks prior to his death. It also ap- peared that from tho time he took to bis bed his mind and habits underwent an entire change. From the exhilaration consequent upon an active life he became indifferent to all but the most trifling affairs, and his nitherto cheerful d/sposition ‘Was superseded by one of melancholy and gloom; that during this period of mental infirmity, as is al- leged, the sop, dona Bussing, Jr., who assumed charge of the farm, succeeded, by VIOLENT CONDUCT . and threats of deserting the homestead, in Inducing the old man to make a will devising the bulk of the property to him, thereby, it is claimed, doing gross ijustice to is two married sisters, Mrs. Mary Jape Ryer and Mrs. Susan A. Tier; that the son being fearful of one of his sisters destroying the will, atter some deJay and threats of violence towards lis motuer for alleged interference with his tnterests in the matter, he finally prevailed upon his father to execute a deed to him for 100 acres of land, but subsequently \ FOUND A CUSTOMER for that portion of the property in one Mrs, Anna L. Case, who agreed to pay $100,000 for the same, and got his father to sign @ deed to that person, $35,000 of the purchase money being pald to the son, who, after giving his mother $10,000 as her dower interest, kept the balance, and recelved a bond and mortgage for the $65,000 from the pur- chaser, having In tie meantime left the deed given to himself unrecorded, The remaining property of the testator, consisting of a house and about forty acres of land, valued at $80,009, also personal prop- on to the amount of $35,000, according to the willwas to be equally divided between the three children, viz, John Bussing, Jr. Mrs, Ryer and Mrs. Tier. The executor and residuary legatee under the will, John Bussing, Jr., appeared im person, with his counsel, W. H. Robertson, while the contestants, Mesdames Ryer and ‘Tier, were also present, with their legal adviser, R. W. Van Pelt. James Williams and Nathaniel Berrian, having been called by counsel for the iegatee, testified that they saw John Bussing, Sr., deceased, sign the will im question, and that they respectively signed the instrument as subscribing witnesses, and that they considered the testator of soun’d mind at the time, TESTIMONY OF THE LEGATEE. John Bussing, on being examined by counsei for the contestants, testined as fo!lows:—I am the son of John Bussing, the testator, and have always lived at home with him; he was never confined to iis bed for any length of time; ‘he first commenced lying in bed in the aaytime in the fali of 1547; this will was made between five and seven years atter that time; | don’t know who first spoke to Judge Serugham about drawing the will; I never spoke to him about it in his omee; 1 knew noting aboutits belag drawn; Lt have seen Judge Scrugnam at the house several times; [ knew of the wall five years after tis date; my mother showed it to1ae; I did notteil Mrs, Ryer that I ot the will made, nor that it was my will; nor did I tell her that I nad spoken to Judge Scrugham about DRAWING THE WILL in his office, nor that 1 had fixed a time for him to come to the house to have it executéd; my mother showed me the will about ten years ago; I took the will once to Samuel M.

Ryer’s view I was getting too much and she too little by the terms of the will; I did not tell Mr. Purdy to take the deed back to my father to sign, and that if 1 had been there before it would not have gone away unsigned; I do not recoliect saying in the presence of my mother and Ellen Ryer that If LOOKED VERY BLACK against me because my father did not sign that deed; Q.

The object of the recent move of Camden and Amboy on the enemy’s works is not generally understood, The Hamilton Land Improvement Company 1s to the Midiand lime what Paris was to France in the late war—the heart of the project—and Camden and Amboy commenced the fight by striking directly #at this point, It is contended on the part of the monopoly that the passage of the ninth section of the Hamilton Company, which autherizes the construction of seven miles of railroad, was procured by fraud and by misleading the Legislature as to the real object of the charter. If tho Legislature should endorse Unis view of the case the Midland line loses a link which is indispensable. To save this link, therefere, is the very life of the opposition to Camden and Am- boy. The fight commenced im the Senate will ex- tend to the House in a day or two, ERIE EATIN On Monday night the Erie men gave @ grand supper to the members of the Legislature at the American Hotel. The most noticeable feature of tis bauquet was the attendance thereat of the four republican members from Jersey City, whese lean- ings towards Erie on the election of Speaker caused s0 much dissatisfaction in Jersey City. ‘The Erie men have their batteries masked tll the first gun is opened on them from Jersey City. The question of repealing the Erie Exemption act will ive rise to one of the bitterest and most stubborn gts of tue session. TRE NEWARK POLICE. The Governor sent a message to the Senate yes- terday intorming them that he had signed the act repealing the Newark Police bill of last year. The orzanization Of the new force will be vested in the Common Council, which has a republican majority. THB JERSEY CITY CHARTER, A large delegation arrived from Jersey City and hela & meeting in the evening on the subject of the new charter for that city. Several delegates urged the adoption of an entirely different charter, as the proposed measure is most odious in many of its rovisions, What makes the matter werse 1s that it proceeds from aaventurers who expect effice or are interested m contracts. These men were openly denounced as corrupt, und it was stated that their appointment would insure the inevitable defeat of the republican party next fall. Dudley 8. Gregory, Benjamin G. Clarke aud men of similar high social stauding are coming forward to frame anotuer measure, CRIMINAL TESTIMONY. The bill allowing crimiuals to testify in their own behalf Was passed by the Senate, FREE SCHOOLS. An act was introduced in the Assembly to make the public schoois of the State free by the collection of two mills oneach dollar of real and persoual estate. ANOTHER OFFIOER FOR HUDSON COUNTY. A bill has been introduced into the Assembly to create the office of register of deeds and mort gages for Hudson county, This bill will relieve the county Clerk of one-haif his emoluments. CONCERT IN CHRIST CHURCH, BROOKLYN, E. 0, The persevering people who defied the elements and went to the concert holden in Christ Church, E. D,, last night, were rewarded by a musical treat not often enjoyed ata concert given wholly by amateur performers. ‘The audience doubtless would have been much larger if the clouds and the wind had not been so discouraging. Tue programme, which was excel- lent, consisted of selections from ‘‘Farmer’s Mass,’? song from Wallace, aria from Donizetti, anthem from Mozart, solo, duet and quartet from Mendels- i and several songs from Bishop, Millard and others, Mrs, Latham, the contralto of Christ church chotr, was encered at every appes arance, and well deserved the applause that she received, her voice having un- usual compass and sweetness, and her enunciation being very refreshing when compared with the ma- jority of singers, who pronounce so indistinctly that, so far as the words are concerned, o psalm of Dayid and “Shoo, Fly” are identical in their mouths, Mrs. Shanley, an Eastern District singer, who Ought to be known to fame, sang “Tell Me, My Heart,” a song by Bishop, with much sweetness and expression, and & chorus of male voices made tlie au- dience wish that they could hear such choruses oftener, On the whole, the concert was 50 good that the choir were requested to repeat it at an early date. As it was given by the choir of Christ church In aid of the church musical fund all interested in the object of the concert will be glad to have an opportunity to hear @ repetition of such good music, THE POOR IN THE SUBURBS. A Bad Record for a Wealthy Long Island Towa—Peopleo Dyivg from Poverty and Neglect. During the{month of January six persons died within the limits of the town of Newtown with- out having the benefit of medical aid. In cach case @ coroner's inquest was held and a ver- dict rendered simply stating the facts. In five of these cases it was the opinion of the physician making the post-mortem examination that proper meuical assistance would have saved life. The rea- son In ali these cages why a physician was net called was poverty. The town of Newtown is the weaithl- est of the county; more meney is paid te support politicians, mere to support constables, more to sup- port rum thap all the other towns in the county spend, There are over 300 rum shops in the town— one to every eight persons—and yet the town can- not support its own poor. A poor woman, honest, industrious and temperate, but sick, was allowed but two dollars per week for six weeks, to purchase all the necessities of life—coal, feod, raiment—for herself and four small children, and this only after a well known physician had pers nally appealed to {ne town Poor Commissioners, In instances where the poor ask for a doctor a dose of castor oil or a box of cheap pills is sent. On account of the severe winter there is much suffering in the villages of Newtown, CADNIVAL OF THE JERSEY CITY SKATING CLUB. ‘The first annual masquerade carnival of the above club takes place this evening at Brady’s rink, Jersey City.
