Rennes, Aug. 14.—The bhttle has begun in earnest. Its political bearings are shown in the arrest of Paul tie Roulede, the deputy, and poet, and 21 of his numerous royalist and Rcnapartist allies, who hare pooled w iith him against the republic. As in the Boulangist conspiracy, the pool would be or little consequence but for the military caste, which has found representative men in Gen. De Negrier aud some j other generals having great ci numamls. A Strantse Spectacle. It is a strange thing how the light thickened around the shadowy and emaciated re-haired Jew,, w hose uniform of an artillery captain so ill-fits and befits his figure and physiognomy. A Fight to tUe Detun. Last Monday’s sitting of he courtmartial and the subsequent non-pub-lic sittings were the first skirmishing operations, but Saturday was a field day, in which the .two hostile forces into which France is divided and has been since the revolution, set, themselves in array of battle and drew the first blood. Each side stands committed to a certain course and has burned its ships. The actual Dreyf as trial is a trial of strerlgth. I can not see a possibility of its ending in a drawn game. It is now a “neck or nothing’^ combat, a desperate fight in which neither side will give in uni* ss utterly routed, j. The Forces EngaRi The moral situation of the forces engaged reminds one of, the armies of the French revolution and those they had to fight. The Dreyfuskes have the brains, the forward impulse, the dash and the flexibility. At the iame time they are raw recruits, gathered spontaneously from the four points of the compass. Hatred of the mill ary caste, and, it may be, the see ret hope of rewards have made them homogeneous. The nationalities have socia>*»and other prestige, numbers and organization. Their center is composed of the majority of Frenchmen ami French women. Their left wing is formed of 22,000 officers and their right wing consists of the *?hurch. B®th Side* Without Semples. All profess respect for legality, but only freru the lips out. One side is just as unscrupulous as the other, but the most active and less numerous side does really fight for the cause of humanity, justice and truth. The Dreyfusites have, at any rate, won belligerent rights, and they are sure of the friendly neutrality of the gi vernmeut. Their adversaries can no longer make use of the rope that hung Pickard, cr the razor that cut Henry’s tfc roat. The minister of war could not,If he wanted to, read a forged document in parliament. It is impossible now to stuff the dossier with fables fit for Mother Goose’s tales. But organization, numbers, prestige and wealth means staying power.

Dreyfuit*' Finueial Br ekiBR. Doubtless the Dreyfusites are supplied with Jewish funds without accepting M. De Freycinet’s estimate of 39,000,000 francs. The sums subscribed by English and German Jews must be enormous, but, like wealthy gentile^ rich Jews are fond of the ;x>mp and vanities of life, the titles of aristocratic society. Many of them are frightened already at the onward pave of the Dreyfusites. . Gen. Mere tee's Deposit ion. Gen. Mender's deposition was inaudible unless i:c the judges and shorthand reporters. It fell fiat, his oice arid delivery being bad. But we have it now in print. It has qualities for which we did not give it credit during delivery. They are ealV, flowing statements, plausibility and the art of lulling suspicion. As the depos ition appears in full in the reports It will everywhere he read with delight by those already persuaded that Dreyfus is a traitor. They will not see what was Pecksniffiaa; what was the feline perfidy. Figuratively speaking, the deposition, which was really i speech for the prosecution, shows Mercier to be a casuis t of the highest order. He never loses his way in the most intricate variat ons and keeps in dev that Dreyfus is a cool, calculating, wellinformed traitor. Only the Iteslailas of the Stramrle, The immediate issue of the fight is freedom of Dreyfus, but Saturday's incidents and episodes are the biginning of a struggle of far-reachixi» consequence.
