ANOTHER BATTLE ON THE

VICTORY CLAIMED BY THE
FRENCH.

TOURS, Decenil)-r 8.

, An engagement has taken place at Juthies, be-
tween Beaugency and Marclienoir. The French,
ender General Chanzy, yesterday defeated a PILLS-
-Bian force, composed of two corps d'armee, with 86
Pieces of artillery.
The French General, in his report to the Govern-
Ment at Tours, says
We had to contend against a numerous park
of artillery, reckoned at 86 guns. The force of
the enemy engaged was one Prussian and two
tavarian divisions, and 2,000 cavalry, with con-
liderable forces of the army of Prince Frederick,
Charles and the Duke of . Mecklenburg in their
tear. The enemy was driven back as far as Grand
ehartre, and we bivouacked in our positions of this
Morning. Prisoners state that the loss of the enemy
froze our small-arm fire was considerable, and that
our artillery was very effective against that of the
enemy. The battle lasted until night. Ido not yet
know our losses, but I hope they are not important.
Der army operated with calmness and order. It is
Possible that we may be attacked to-morrow. I
anticipate that we shall be as successful as to-day.
the enemy has been driven out of Marolles."
The King of Prussia has communicated the event
to Queen Augusta by telegraph. His Majesty says'
that on the evening of the 7th a sharp but successful
engagement took place between the enemy and the
17th Division, on its march to Blois, near Meung.
We are expecting more resistance in that quarter.
11- gun, a mitrailleuse, and 150 prisoners were
captured.
The Grand Duke of Mecklenburg's telegram to his
"echess communicates the fact of an engagement
having taken place in Meung, during which the 90th
regiment had taken a gun and a mitrailleuse.

ORDER OF THE DAY BY GENERAL
DUCROT.

PARIS, December 6.

General Ducrot has published an order of the day,
dated from Vincennes, with reference to the late
sorties. He tells his soldiers that he has led them
back again across the Marne because he is con-
°laced that further efforts in the line of the
late sorties, in which the enemy has had time to
concentrate forces, and to prepare means of action,
Would have been fruitless. Had he persisted in the
attempt to advance by that way, he would have
01113 sacrificed thousands of brave men. Far from
aiding the work of resistance, he would only have
seriously compromised it, and led his troops to an
irreparable disaster. The conflict, he says, has how-
ever, only momentarily ceased, and they must pre-
Pare to resume it with courage. •
It is stated that a great movement of troops is
going on in Paris, and that fresh offensive operations
are expected.
