The only news of General Bourbaki and his army at

Bourges is that the latter has been fully reorganized since the retreat from Or- leans ; that it has not apparently been at all disturbed by the Ger- mans, and that the reorganization has been pressed forward by M. Gambetta in person. Apparently, it is at least 80,000 strong, and General Bourbaki will now have a great opportunity of showing what he can do. No rumour as to his movements has yet transpired.
