still undecided. A number of buttles
havo been fought, with great losses
on both sides, but still another (and
perhaps tlio most decisivo of all) is
said to bo imminent. . The Prussians
havo u.et with great sueces&es, uud
six hundred tbousaud of their best
troops occupy tho most fortilo provinces
of Franco. On tho other hand,
the French, though easily discouraged
at first, recover promptly, and
meet, reverses with great pertinacity
