Especial Dispatch to the n. Z. Tribune.l


WASHINGTON, august ii, 1861.
AN o9NIeN FROM PRINCE NAPOLEON.
From higher source than the "coach-
box" We learn that Prince Napoleon expressed
to the French Minister his opinion that, tin
asmuch as the troops On both sides are but
raw recruits, the next battle, like that at
Bull Run, would be decided by an accident"
IMPORTATION FROM TIE ENEMY.
From the same quarter We learn that the
rebel force at Fairfax is not more than two
regiments Of infantry, that there arc no ioEtS-
fca1ions at or near the battlefield, except
Elight earthworkE, and ne masked batteries
observable. The en1renebments at Manassas
are not formidable not such as would strike
military men as serious obstructions.
PRINCE EAPoIEoE's MOVEMENTS.
The Prince desires, after visiting Niagara,
to get glimpse Of the prairies. It il not
credited here that the Prince Wss sent by the
Emperor. He telegraphed to the Emperor
from Lisbon that be was going thence to
Hzlifax, and the French Minister here did not
knoW before hand of his coming.

The lcft by Gen. Sigel and the centre by
Gen. Lyon in person. After three hours Of
heavy cannonading the enemy began to

their Aanks with tremendous havoc, dri7-
ing them back to their encampment On
Wilson's Creek, where Capt. Totten's bat
te1y set fire to their tents and baggage
Train, which were ali consumed. Gen.
Lyon, the heroic commander Of our

and followed the rebels til nightfan, when
he rested his little army in the rebel en-
csnpment till the following morning. On
Sunday morning he fell back on Spring

him three to one, might attempt to throw
force in his rear. Subsequently he re-
,i1ed still farther towards Ro11a, to meet
