THE WAR.

GARIBALDI IN THE VOSGES.
TOURS, MONDAY, 5.50 p.m.
_ _

Gambetta is to be Minister of War. Orders
have been given for General Mazure to be set at
liberty at Lyons. General Bourbaki has been sent
for from Belgium to give an explanation to the
Government. The services of Count Yana() would
be accepted with pleasure by the French army and
the Government. A battalion of Pontifical Zouaves
is to be formed, and will march under the command
of Colonel Charette.
The destination of General Garibaldi is not yet
decided, but it is possible that he will operate against
the Prussians in the Vosges.

SEIZURE OF ARMS.

CALAIS, TUESDAY.

The Custom Hcuse authorities have seized 65
Packages from England, addressed Blucker, Pre-
fecture Epernay, on suspicion that the contents were
intended for the Prussians. Telegrams have been
,despatched to detain a portion of the goods which
had been already sent forward.

The police of Antwerp have seized on board the
ship Anteloz, which had cleared for Havre, several
cases of arms and munitions of war.

The five franc pieces bearing the effigy of the
Wench Republic are already in circulation.

BERLIN, OCT. 11, 10 .41.31

In addition to 1,100 cannon, 12,000 chassepots,
6)000 cwt. of ammunition, and 50 locomotives were
captured in Strasburg.
Italy is about to address a circular note to the
Powers, proposing that all States having Catholic

THE BONAPARTIST RESTORA-

TION.

, The German Ministerial papers of yesterday pub-
bBhed a statement, according to which the Prussian
government cannot acknowledge the present Pro-
visional Government in France as sufficiently
eudowed with authority ; but at the same time they
disavow all plans for bringing about a Bonapartist
restoration.

THE "FISH TORPEDO."

An attempt was made in Sheerness harbour to blow up
the old wooden frigate L'Aigle with a torpedo, the joint
invention of Mr. Whiteman and an Austrian gentleman.
This torpedo is a fish-shaped construction of zinc, having
a revolving tail at one end, and contains, besides the de-
noting charge, a quantity of gun-cotton. It is placed in
a cylinder similar to a rocket tube, and filled with com-
pressed air, which furnishes the power for propelling it for
any distance from 100 to 1,500 yards. It is necessary that
a ship intended to. discharge the torpedo should be fitted
with an apparatus for compressing air into the cylinder.
The experimental torpedo was despatched under water
from the Oberon, which was placed bows in towards
L'Aigle, moored at a distance of 200 yards. In thirty
seconds an explosion took place under the stern of the
old coal hulk. A mountain of water, blackened with
coal-dust, was thrown up with a noise resembling the dis-
charge of a heavy guu two or three miles off, the stern of
the vessal sinking immediately to the bottom of the
river. In deep water the ship would have disappeared
wholly. When the tide had fallen it was seen that a
tremendous hole had been made in her side. It is in-
tended to raise her and restore the damage for further
trials.

infantry, upon Toury. Each brigade had half a battery.
I arrived at seven o'clock before the village of Chanssis,
within three or four kilometres of Toury. The squadron
of the 6th Hussars, which formed the advanced guard,
then surrounded the village, fell upon the enemy's out-
posts, and took five prisoners of the Royal Bavarian
Regiment. The enemy's artillery, consisting of ten 12-
pounders, was in position at Toury, and fired with great
accuracy upon our batteries, which were composed of nine
four-pounders only. Brigadier Longuerue's half
battery was dismounted at the beginning of the action,
as were also two officers of the 2nd Hussars
[sic]. Chef d'Escadron Loytot and Sub-Lieutenant
de Bourgoing were severely wounded. In Bessayre's
brigade several shells fell among the 9th Cuirassiers,
foamed in close column, and struck three men and three
horses. In spite of the enemy's well-directed fire, our
movement in advance continued. The village of Toury
was turned on the right by Bessayre's brigade. The
enemy's cavalry, 400 or 500 strong, supported by 2,000
infantry, was obliged to retreat along the road
to Paris. We pursued them for three or four
kilometres beyond Toury, exchanging some shots,
but they retired with great rapidity. I was
obliged to stop the pursuit, because my troops were
thoroughly fatigued. Michel's brigade had been march-
ing since midnight, and the others from 3 in the morning,

07
and neither men nor horses had had anything to eat or
drink. I fell back upon Toury, and there I ascertained
the exact force of the enemy, and that Prince Albert,
Prince de Saxe-Meiningen, and Prince de Saxe-Alten-
bourg, who left Toury at 8 in the morning when our
attack began, bad been there a week. I captured 147
cows and 52 sheep, which the enemy had collected, and
have sent them on to Arthenay. As soon as I can I shall
send you a detailed report of this affair, in which every-
body did his duty.

THE LADIES' MEDICAL COLLEGE.

The seventh annual session of study of this college was
commenced yesterday by a lecture at St. George's Hall by
Mr.'J. A.'R. Newlands, F.R.C.S. The chair was taken by
'Dr. George Ross, M.D., and amongst others present were
Dr. Edmunds, Mr. New, Mr. Grey, Dr. Spratt, Professor
Jones, F. R. C.S., and Professor Murphy. The lecturer
said this was the seventh year of study, and some might
think that because their efforts had been attended by
great progress they should rest and be thankful. But
was it their duty to rest? No, never, until the cause
which they supported was acknowledged as one of the
most prominent successes. Their principles had been
designated as reckless innovations, but the lightning
had been snatched from the clouds, and the very sun
himself had been made a portrait taker. Yet these and
hundreds of other wonderful things were once regarded
as mere scientific toys. 'What they now required was
that the friends and supporters of the society
should collect funds to purchase a proper library and
museum, and also to obtain subscriptions so as to
give it that recognised position among the colleges of the
country to which it was entitled. It could not be con-
tended that women should not attend on their fellow-
women and on children. No one said it was improper for
women to attend on the other sex as nurses, and yet it had
been argued that it was indelicate for ladies to prosecute
medical studies with a view to attend their own sex. The
fact was, that medical men were afraid that the profits of
their business would be reduced by the competition.

THE SIEGE OP PARIS.

The Tones thinks there has been no moment in the
history of the war when the prospect of misery was so
dark and unrelieved as now. Hitherto we have
always been able to flatter ourselves that the
end was not far off. The sufferings of the
time were acute, but it was always possible
that the war might end as suddenly as it began.
We cannot any longer deceive ourselves thus. It is
now evident that the war will go on to the worst
extremities. Each belligerent is determined to per-
severe, the one in attack, the other in defence, until
the strength of the weaker is consumed. Each knows
how long it will be before this exhaustion is
reached, and each tries, by circulars and manifestoes, to
heighten toe apprehension the other must have of the
work before st ; but beneuth these artifices, which neutrals
perhaps, understand better than those who use them,
there is a stubborn determination not to give in, however
stiff and resolute may be the temper of the antagonist.
A winter siege which must pass into a bombardment
an artillery duel, the endurance of starvation—these are
the elements that threaten to compose the future. We
leave out of right, continues the Times, the wretchedness
of the Departments; the misery of the inhabitants of the
North-East, who havelost all, and depend upon the ill-regu-
lated charity of strangers for the means of life ; the perpe-
tual ravage of the Orleannais and the Upper Valley of the
Seine ; the disorganisation and corruption of law even
where the armies of the enemy have not reached, and will
not reach. It is enough to picture the reality of the ex-
perience that must be looked for in the coming
months in that narrow circle, having Paris as
its centre, to understand how humanity cries to
Heaven for judgment on those whose crimes om
whose vices bring such amfial Axus-sry on-their kind. It
would seem that, when Christmas comes, The Message of
Peace and Goodwill Among Men may find the foremost
nations in Christendom proving once more the irony of
the ancient phrase, " See how these Christians love one
another."

RIGOROUS MEASURES AT
LAON.

Colonel von Kahlden, commanding the First
Regiment of Mecklenburg. Dragoons, has issued a
proclamation to the inhabitants of Laon and the
neighbouring villages, stating that, in consequence
of the hostile attitude of a portion of the inhabitants
towards the German troops, the slightest
attack or resistance would be rigorously avenged ;
and that, for every German soldier slain, four
Frenchmen, innocent or guilty, would be shot,
and the neighbouring towns be made to pay a
large indemnity. The proclamation urges the in-
habitants, for their own welfare, and to avoid being
subjected to such rigorous measures, to do all
in their power to prevent such occurrences, and
secure good treatment and protection of their pro-
perty by the authorities. All arms not surrendered
down to the present time must be forthwith delivered
to the Mayor for transfer to the Commandant. The
proclamation forbids the publication of all political
journals except those of Rheims.

THE ROMAN PLEBISCITE
FLORENCE, OCT, 9 (AFTERNOON).

To-day, at eleven o'clock, the reception of the
Roman deputation took place at the Pitti Palace.
The King was surrounded by the whole of
the Royal Family, members of the Government,
and the municipal and military dignitaries.
The reception took place amid a scene of great
pomp in the throne-room of the Palace, and the
Piazza Pitti, which was decorated suitably for the
occasion, was densely crowded by the people. The
square was lined by troops of all arms, and the King
and the Duke of Sirmonetta were obliged, by the
shouts of applause raised by the populace, to appear
on the balcony of the Palace. Atter the reception,
a solemn ceremony took place in the Piazza Sig-
nori, the object being to uncover, under the
Loggia dei Anzi, a stone bearing an inscription
to the effect that the Roman Plaiscite had Con-
secrated the union of Italy. Although unfortunately
the weather proved unfavourable, an immense con-
course of people was present at both of the cere-
monies, during which constant salutes of cannon
were fired.

FLORENCE, OCT. W.

. An imposing and enthusiastic demonstration in
honour of the Roman delegates took place last
night at the special performance in the Teatro
Pagliano. The King, the deputation, Prince
Humbert, and the Princess Margherita, were pre-
sent, and were greeted with loud and often renewed
applause. The King's official answer on receiving
the Ple-hiscite states his grateful acceptance of the
votes of the Romans, and his purpose, as a Monarch
and as a Catholic, to render secure the freedom of
the Church, and the spiritual independence of the
Holy Father.
FLORENCE, OCT. 10 (AFTERNOON.)
•
It is announced that M. Thiers will arrive in
Florence on Wednesday, the 12th inst.
The King will soon leave this city for Turin. The
Roman deputation takes its departure for Turin this
evening. The Duke Of Sirmonetta, who headed the
deputation, will return to Rome.

UNITED GERMANY.

The Daily News, remarking on the unification of Ger
many, observes that the hope that the establishment of a
Confederated Germany will be a guarantee of the peace
of Europe is based chiefly on the fact that the
army of the Confederation will be what the army
of Prussia is now, a national —an army
composed of men taken from ti desk and the
plough, and returning to their ordinary a ibour when their
term of service is complete. Exemption are, we know, so
numerous that the army is not identical with the nation ;
but these exemptions are not purchasable, and the conse-
quence is that the army does actually reflect the opinions
of all classes of people in the country. The strength
of the Prussian Army does not lie in the troops of the
line—who are mostly young men scarcely done growing—
but in the bronzed and bearded Landwehr, who go back
from a war to be mixed and lost sight of in the general poiiii-
lation. Nevertheless every year which sees a fresh levy of
young men drafted into the line, to be trained for three years,
adds so many thousands to the soldier element of the
nation ; and the serious question is whether this
powerful military element may not be seduced by the
pleasure of conquest into developing a strong martial
feeling to the exclusion of peaceful and indus-
trious instincts. May not success engender a lust
for further aggrandisement? Prussia, from being an
insignificant province, won her way upwards by the
strength of her right arm ; until, with the rest of Ger-
many, she was shattered by Napoleon, and bound down
by the Confederation of the Rhine. Since that time, say
her friends—and we believe with perfect truth—
Prussia has engaged in no war which had not for
it purpose the effecting of the unity of Germany
under her control. Her • ambition has been
bounded by the . extent of :the German language.
Her freeing of her countrymen in the Danish Duchies,
and her victorious wrestle with her rival in the south,
were parts of this programme, which she would have
caried out in peace and security but for the jealousy of
France.

ABUSE OF THE NEW POSTAL
REGULATIONS.

At the Mansion House yesterday the Lord Mayor stated
that he had received from a variety of sources information
of a large number of indecent communications having been
sent through the Post-office by means of the new Post-
cards. That was a gross abuse of what was intended to be
a great boon to the public, and was one which was recog-
nised as an offence by the New Post Office Act, to one
of the sections of which it was desirable every
publicity should be given. It was as follows :
" The' Postmaster-General may, from time to time, with
the approval of the Treasury, make such regulations as
he thinks fit for preventing the sending or delivery by
post of indecent or obscene printing, paintings, photo-
graphs, lithographs, engravings, books, or cards, or other
indecent or obscene articles ; or letters, newspapers, or
post cards having thereon any words, marks, or designs of
an indecent, obscene, libellous, or grossly offensive
character."

THE UNITY OF GERMANY.

The Times, commenting on the steps taken for the
unity of Germany, says : The King having once grasped
the idea of establishing the unity of the country by the
extrusion of the assimilating elements of Austria, came
to the conclusion that the knot ,of the old Con-
federation could only be cut by the sword. To
the maintenance and strengthening of the army he
devoted all his energies, and, seconded by Count
Bismarck, he defeated the efforts of the Liberal
party in the Chambers, who opposed his .maments on
the ground of economy as well as on the ground that with
large armies the royal influence must remain excessive,
The singular part of this business is that, had this
very Liberal party been aware of what the
King purposed, a great part of jit would have
made common cause with him, and voted him
by acclamation all the money he desired. But it was ne-
eessary the Royal intentions should remain a secret from
rival States, which had it in their power to combine and
frustrate them. Thus it was that the ideas which were
first cherished by few enthusiasts, mostly belonging
to the democratic iichool, have been at last
worked out by an old King, against all the Influ-
ence of the friends of liberty and progress. He has it now
—kingdom, victory, empire; andashe stands in the temple
of the God whom he so confidently believes to have chosen
him and to befriend him, he must reflect that seldom
has Providence committed to man so great a task, or laid
on him so heavy a responsibility. He has taken now the
position in Europe which belonged ten years since to the
captive of Wilhelmshohe. At that time all had
been glory for Napoleon, and his first fatal step
had not yet been taken. Emperor William and his
House may ponder on the greatness and the fall of
the ruler to whose style and pre-eminence they have suc-
ceeded. If they make good use of the power they have
won, the ceremony at Versailles will be only the begin-
ning of their glories, but if prosperity induce them to
contemn the rights of nations, we have an example before
us that neither Emperor nor King is too high or too strong
to be cast down.

NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENC.
In spite of severe weather, which impedes work on ships
under construction in a dock which has no covering over
it, the building of the Glatton, 2, double-screw turret-
ship, armour-plated, 2,706 tons, at Chatham Dockyard, is
now being pushed forward as quickly as possible, as the
time fixed for floating out the vessel is approaching. The
Whole of the armour plates, with the exception of a few
on her turret, are already in place ; and workmen are
now constructing her hurricane • deck. It is expected
that the Glatton will be ready to leave the dock about the
end of January.

The Crocodile is ordered to fill up coal at once at Ports-
mouth and prepare to sail again for Alexandria on the last
day of the present year. She takes out draughts of various
corps in Ireland, ordered round to Portsmouth from
Queenstown on board her Majesty's screw-troopship
Orontes, and artillery draughts from Woolwich.
The Government has invited tenders for the immediate
supply of 21,000 tons of coals for her Majesty's ships, to
be delivered at Gibraltar, Malta, and other naval ports.
A delay has occurred in the departure of the troops who
were placed under orders to leave Chatham garrison this
week; and probably they will not now leave till the be-
ginning of the new year. The troops to leave are 'Royal
Engineers and depots of the line.

THE NATURAL HISTORY OF INDIA.--His Excel-
lency Lord Mayo, the Viceroy of India, has been making
a very valuable collection, of natural historical objects
illustrative of the fauna, ornithology, &c., of the Indian
Empire. A portion of these valuable acquisitions—princi-
pally birds and some insects—was brought to England by
the countess, and has been most carefully set up in natural
form under her particular dircaion. They constitute a
collection of high interest and beauty.

THE GALES ON THE EAST COAST.-011 Wed-
nesday night a heavy gale from the north-east prevailed
at Yarmouth, accompanied with blinding storms of
snow. The few vessels that were in the Roads rode
very heavily, and yesterday morning a large quantity of
wreckage and a number of empty bottles m ere washed
ashore, and it is believed that a vessel has been lost during
the night on the Cross Sand.

LIFE SAVING APPARATUS.

A. deputation of naval captains and master mariners
has had an interview with Mr. Shaw Lefevre, Secre-
tary to the Board of Trade, to urge upon him the
substitution of Mr. Rogers's life saving apparatus for
the rocket apparatus now in use at the various coast
stations. The deputation were anxious to point out
to the Secretary the superior merits of Mr. Rogers's
plan. It consists of a folding anchor so con-
trived that it can be fired from a mortar or
other piece of ordnance. Attached to the anchor
is a block of peculiar make which will not
choke with seaweed, and will allow knots and kinks
to pass freely through it. A double line passes
through the block, the ends of which, attached on
shore, haul out another double line of cable. The
anchor can b 3 flung into the sea with the
rope attached, and the lifeboat drawn through the
surf, so that the crew can pull the boat to the ship.
The block may also be thrown across the ship with
the double rope, thus establishing communication
, with the shore. A. memorial signed by large num-
bers of Master-mariners, and others interested in the
question, was presented, and several captains present
spoke highly in favour of the invention. Mr. Lefevre
directed that experiments should be made at Shoe-
bury pea.

THE RUSSIAN ARMY AND NAVY.

The Czar of Russia has suddenly cancelled the
privilege of exemption from military service
hitherto enjoyed by the nobility of Russia,
This important move at once makes th
conscription order to be carried out on the Prussian
system, universal in its effects, and proves how
anxious the Russian Government are to bring about
the establishment of a standing and efficient national
army. It is stated to their honour that
the nobles have expressed their readiness to.
comply with the decree of the Emperor. The latter,
we also learn, is still intent on equipping a Black Sea
Fleet, and 50 or 60 gunboats are even now believed
to be ready to sail. This resolution on the part of
Russia is sufficient evidence that the country did
not sanction Prince Gortschakoff's Circulars in any
pusillanomous manner, and that the Czar's Govern-
ment means to meet with energy any crisis that
may fall to the share of Russia.

THE ARREST OF THE GERMAN DEPUTIES.

The Telegraph says: This journal was the only newspaper
in England that published intelligence reporting the
arrest of the North German Deputies Bebel and Lieb•
knecht on a charge of high treason against the King of
Prussia. We were indebted for our knowledge of the fact
to our correspondent in Berlin. A record of all such
events is expected to be sent through the tele-
graphic_ agency of Reuter, but not a word of
the occurrence was received by that channel.
Nor need we look far to find the explanation of the un-
wonted secrecy. The agency of Reuter very naturally
gets its Prussian information from that of Wolff, and it
is too clear that the German News Company dared not
use its own means of publicity to spread the strange
intelligence. The Prussian press seems to have
greeted the event with the discretion of well-drilled
silence. Only one journal appears to have singled
it out for comment, and the guilty print was
instantly supressed by the indignant authorities. There
is a grim eloquence about the story. Two members of
Parliament distinguish themselves by the vigour with
which they denounce the annexation of Alsace and
Lorraine, and by the fervent hostlity with which
they greet the proposal to make King William Em-
peror of Germany. They proudly say that they are
Republicans. But what they have done to incur
the charge of high treason seems still to be un-
known outside the official class. If any phrases that they
have used in the Chamber can be construed into words of
high treason against the King, they can be prosecuted :
yet, according to our Berlin correspondent, the only sen-
tence that will bear such a character was the
charge of Herr Liebknecht, that the German
Princes, " and especially the Hohenzollern," were respon-
sible for the cession of Alsace and Lorraine to France.
Even that general accusation seems to have been
withdrawn. The two deputies have, indeed, been
charged with taking the pay off Austria, and thus with
playing false to their country ; but the imputation seems
to be as groundless as the idea of the French people, that
some of the English journals must have been bribed by
Bismarck because they had condemned the aggression
of France. We will not ask the German people
what they would think of England, if they found
that the leaders of her Majesty's Opposition had been
sent to Newgate for flinging strong words against the
Government. But we ask the German Princes and the
German people, whether it is good policy to, punish free-
dom of speech with the prison-cell?

REFUGEES' BENEVOLENT FUND.—The Earl of
Zetland (late Grand Master) following the liberal exan
of the Grand Lodge of England, has contributed the :Atm
of £lOO to this fund.

A. late telegram from South Shields says the gale
on the coast is now considerably abated, and the sea has
fallen greatly. There has been some more damage done
to the works at the end of South Shields pier, and the
total damage is estimated at above £5,000.

FRENCH OFFICERS IN GERMANY.

The special correspondent of the Telegraph sends the
following from Berlin, dated December 22 (Evening)
On the 14th of the present month Count Bismarck
addressed to the representatives of the North German
Confederation abroad a circular despatch devoted to the
behaviour of French officers who have been taken pri-
soners by the German armies. In the first place, he
dwells upon the fact that many French officers,
among them Generals Ducrot, Barral, end Cam-
briels, in violation of their word of honour, have
again placed their swords at the disposal of France.
They have thus shewn that the French officers' word of
honour does not in every case afford that guarantee which,
when it was accepted, it was understood to imply. The
Chancellor further mentions that hitherto the French
officers who are still detained in Germany as prisoners of
war have not yet bad to suffer by reason of the bad faith
of their comrades ; and the despatch continues
" But the matter assumes a different aspect
from the fact that the Government of National
Defence has given an express and authoritative
approval to this breach of faith on the part of the escap-
ing French officers, by bestowing upon them commis-
sions in the armies now fighting against us. And yet,
from the active French army, no one has yet ever
heard a protest against the return of those dis-
loyal officers into their lines. Evidently, by
such a course of procedure, the Paris Govern-
ment, and all the officers who hold commissions
under it have themselves become participators

in the responsibility which these individuals have in-
curred by their breach of faith against the recognised
usages of war. Under these circumstances, the German
Government is under the necessity of taking into conside-
ration whether it is compatible with their interests to grant
to captive French officers the favours which they have
hitherto enjoyed ; and also of asking, with respect to the
contingencies of the future, the still graver question,
what confidence they can repose in the fulfilment of the
convention which may be concluded with French comman-
ders or with the French Republican Government, unless
satisfactory material guarantees shall be given. Reserving
to the German Government its decision in this matter,
I feel it necessary to draw the attention of the
Government to which you are accredited to our experi-
ences, and to their importance as bearing upon the inter-
national relations of France ; for only now can protests
made by the French rulers against precautionary measures
on our part meet with their proper appreciation."

MURDER AT TIPPERARY.

Two men, named White ',and Brien, have been com-
mitted for trial at Tipperary for the wilful murder of a
farmer named Michael Brien, who died from the effects
of blows inflicted upon him on Saturday night by the
prisoners, who, it is stated, had an ill feeling towards him
in consequence of his having purchased their interests in
some land for which they were negotiating. The prisoner
Brien is deceased's cousin.

THE RAILWAY COLLISION NEAR BARNSLEY.
The second coroner's inquiry into the circumstances
attending the recent railway collision at Stairfoot, near
Barnsley, was concluded last night. In this, as in the first
investigation, the jury returned a verdict of manslaughter
against Hathershaw, the guard who had the direction
of the shunting of the goods train which caused the,
catastrophe.

THE DECAY OF FRESCOES.

It has long been an object of anxiety with artists
to discover wile means of arresting the rapid decay
which too often attacks fresco paintings in this
country. A new method has been devised by Mr.
Minton Campbell, the head of the well-known firm
of Minton and Co. which possesses many advantages.
A. kind of stone surface is produced by cementing
together highly fired tessera of compressed pulverised
stone and clay, made in the form of hexagons. The
surface is made up of a network of regular lines, with
which the junctures of the surface are identical, thus
avoiding the appearance of joins. The artist can work
easily with the colours employed, and paint thickly
or thinly as he chooses. They contain vitrifying
properties, and the properties of the surface and the
colours combining in the firing, form an imperishable
painting This explanation was fully given in a
paper read at the Society of Arts. In the subse-
quent discussion, Mr. Cope R.A., referred to the
prevailing impression that fresco painting
had proved a failure, and expressed his hope
that some means of arresting decay would
be discovered. Mere mechanical work could not,
he thought, supersede fresco, and he feared an
objection to Mr. Campbell's method would be the
glossiness of the surface. Mr. Redgrave, R.A., con-
sidered the invention possessed all the qualities for
which an artist looks, and by it an artist might per-
petuate his works. Professors Donaldson and
Westmacott bore testimony to its excellence for
overcoming the difficulties of climate, and other
evidence was adduced in its favour.

TOURS SHELLED BY THE
GERMANS.
TOURS, December 21.
The Germans appeared this morning near the
Pont Pierre. As a party of cuirassiers came on the
bridge they were fired upon by the civilians. Three
or four of them were killed, and the rest quickly
retired.
Immediately afterwards a severe cannonade was
opened on the town, and several persons were killed
in the streets by the falling shells.
A white flag was hoisted, and the Mayor of
Tours at once went to the officers in command,
after whi,ch the shelling ceased.
The town had not been entered by the Germans,
but it was expected they would do so immediately
the whole of the troops come up.
General Pisani has had an engagement with the
Germans atMonnaie. The Germans suffered severely,
losing several hundred men.
