A telegram has been received from Carlsruhe, dated 10th August,

according to which Strasburg has been invested by the Baden division of the German Army, under General Beyer, an army which must have crossed by Breiaach. Strasburg has only one regiment of infantry, is "scantily provisioned," and if really invested. must surrender, from the difficulty of obtaining food. The loss of the great city will annoy Paris, but as the country between the Rhine and the Vosges is already lost, the catastrophe will make little difference to the war.
