The cloud which settles over German armies when engaged in

great operations has fallen on them once more, and we do not know clearly even where they are. Apparently they are sweeping on towards Paris, in many columns, the front extending from Epernay up to Soissons ; but as they had on Friday a hundred miles to traverse, they will scarcely be in force before Paris till next Thursday, the day fixed by Germany, for some inscrutable reason, for the King's triumphant entry. Their final marches will, however, in all probability be long ones, and the actual assault may take place on that day.
