ENGAGENIENT AT BOVES.

LILLE, November 27

The Echo du Nord of to-day says : " After two
days of anxiety, reassuring intelligence has been
received. An engagement has taken place at Boves,
a commune situated south of Amiens, on the
Northern Railway, at the foot of the hills of
Artois, and skirting the wDods. Our troops at-
tacked the Prussians with the bayonet, repulsing
theln everywhere, the battle field being covered
With their dead and wounded. Although the en-
gagements which have taken place up to the present
time cannot be considered of great importance, yet
it is incontestable that the result of cur military ope-
rations has been to drive back the Prussian troops
towards their centre of action.
