THE GREAT SORTIES FROM

PARIS.

HEAD-QUARTERS OF THE CROWN PRINOE
OF PRUSSIA, VERSAILLES, December 2.
The fighting before Paris on November 30 was
not followed by any fresh movement yesterday.
There was a lull in the French cannonades, and
several ambulances came out to collect the wounded.
10-day there is again heavy firing in the d:reetion
of Charenton.
This hard, bright weather is favourable to the
Germans near Orleans.

AN ARMISTICE DEMANDED.
General Templin, the Conn-nar-ler of the 7th
Clerman Corps, has forwarded a despatch from
Villeneuse le Roi detailing the great sortie from
Paris. He states that the united forces of Dacrot
and Trochu, against the Wurtemburgers, amounted
to 120,000 men. They were attacked very severely,
but at six in the evening reinforcements came up,
When the French were everywhere repuised.
The loss of the Wurtemburgers is set down at 40
Officers and 800 men. The loss of Detrossel's brigade
of the Second Army Corps, 2 officers and 70 men.
The French loss is very considerable. They have
requested an armistice for several hours for the
burial of the dead.

Tours, Dec. 2.

The Moniteur publishes an account of the great
sorties from Paris. It states that ou the 29th ult.,
the sortie commenced on the right towards Choisy

and maintained the positions taken after capturing
two guns.
The entrenched position at Epinay was carried on
the 30th by Vice-Admiral de la Ronciere.

Army forms a curved line before the Army of Paris.

VICTORY OF THE FRENCH ON THE
LOIRE.

TOURS, December 1 (Evening).

A battle was fought yesterday, with important
results, at Terminiers, near Orgeres, Department of
Lure-et-Loire. The Prussians, with a strong artillery
force, and infantry numbering 20,000, were com-
pletely beaten back by the 16th French Corps, under
General Chauzy. The French were mostly young
soldiers who had never before seen fire. They took
CI'D prisoners.
Ohauzy has been made a Grand Officer of the
Legion of Honour.
The weather is cold and bright—excellent for the
French with their tenter d'abn, but very bad for the
Prussians, who have no tents.
There are no Prussians now in the Depart-
toents of Sarthe, Indre-et-Loire, Loir-et-Cher, or
Loiret.
No one now is in favour of holding the elec-
tions. All desire that the war should go on to
the end.

Another despatch, dated Tours, December 2, says
the Prussians were dislodged from the villages at
the point of the bayonet.
The losses of the enemy were very considerable.
'Zany prisoners were taken, including several
Wfieers. The honour of the day is due to Admiral
Jaurequiberry, an old sailor. Under the Empire he
Was not in favour. He took part in the war in
China, and protested against the pillage of the
Summer Palace by Palikao.
