DRURY-LANE TIIEiTRE.

A Flanders Mail, just arrived, brings intelligence
from Aiz-la-Chapelle, that the town of Montmedy•
Bas, below the fortress of Montmedy, was carried by
assault on the night of the 14th inst. by the Prussian
troops, and that Longwy capitulated on the 15th.—
The Prussian troops, who were at Mao, have
received orders to march into France.—lt is
observed that the war was never carried on
with so much rigour along the whole of the
frontier, from the Meuse to Strasburgh, as at this
moment. The Prussians carried the lower town of
Montmedy at the point of the bayonet ; the works
and the narrow streets were covered with killed and
wounded. The upper town is attacked with the
same inhumanity.
