INVESTMENT OF STRASBURG.
[pall mall gazette.] The investment of Strasburg appears, as jjfar as yet learned, to be conducted
chiefly by the Badish troops, whose general, K. Beyer, a Prussian officer, as is well known, has summoned the place to surrender. Strasburg must have nearly 100,000 persons shut up in it, and could hardly bear the process of starvation by investment very long, even if its raw garrison keep their hearts, and the commander his head. Its works, though of a very old type of fortification, would be formidable enough, if seriously defended, to call for great exertion in a regular siege against them.
