The Army of the Loire having advanced to Beau-
gelleY, on the right bank of the Loire, General Von
der Tann on the 9th of November evacuated
Orleans, and took np a position against the enemy,
and after ascertaining the strength of the hostile
f
..,.°rees, marched off to St. Peravy. There was a
w4glit engagement with them. The enemy remained
quiet on the 10th.

Prom head-quarters the King of Prussia has for-
!larded a telegram to the Queen, at Homburg. He
Celle her that on the 10th, General Von der Tann,
Yielding to the superior force of the enemy, with-
drew fighting, from Orleans to Toury, where he
11nited his forces with those of General Wittich and
prince, Albrecht, who.had arrived from Chartres. The
'rend Duke of Mecklenburg will join General Von
der Tann to-day (the 11th).

THE FRENCH ACCOUNT.
The Government of Tours yesterday received intern-
geace of the re-capture. The report of General
4nrelles de Paladine says that he carried Orleans after
two days' fighting.
The losses amounted to 2,000 killed and wounded,
put considerably over 1,000 prisoners have been taken,
and that number was constantly being increased by
pursuit. Another important circumstance is that
tWo guns, of German make, have been captured by
the French, together with twenty powder ammuni-
tion Waggons. The principal seat of the action was
n
`aoulrniers, and the fighting was no mere " recon-
llaimance " but was a resolute, stubborn, and well-
Waged fight, which made Von de Tann abondon his
hold on the high road to Orleans, and all back across
e°untrY towards St. Peravy-la-Colovnb, live miles
t° the north of Coulmiers, on the road to Chateaudun.
I.The first engagement took place in the Forest of
'4Brchenoir, where a Prussian corps from Baccon
attacked the French position near St. Larrent des
ia, but were repulsed. On the following day the
'Frencht assumed the offensive. It is supposed the
Nect of General Aurelle de Paladine was to
turn Orleans, and isolate General von der
1,4". The Beaugency Corps was to advance
°u Orleans ; but while the right wing of the French
Wing,
3' would stop near Ormes, the centre and left
tiaing, pivoting on the right wing, were to march
a r,:igh Germigny, St. Peravy, Boulay, and Briey,
G/lu. effect a junction with a cavalry corps which
teneral Pallieres was to bring from St. Beneit-sur-
t°ire towards Cercottes. The fighting commenced on
~Lts morning of the9th,and lasted till night. Baccon and
'l4ollln:tiers were successively occupied by the French,
Where

from Beauce arrested General Royan's
