Tours, Nov. I2.-Nothing official is yet
received from the army of the Loire since
the official report of General D'AureIIes.
It is asserted that Gambetta went to Or
| leans for the express purpose of Fastening
an attack all along the enemy's lines.
More prisoners, captured in the battle
at Orleans arrived this afternoon. They
G France.
The Moniteur publishes more extended
details OF the battle on the first day. The
battle became general soon after the at
tack was made. General Pollieres, who
had command of one wing OF the French
army, made q decided success from the
start. The Prussians were In q strong po-
sitfon. General POllierss took the veteran
troops and carried the Prusslan position,
driving them before him aud Capturing
many prisoners. So marx ed was his VIC
tory that General De Palladines warmly
praised his conduct. The Garde Mobiles,
from the Department of the Loire, who
were under heavy artillery fire of the
enemy, waYered q little. but General Bar
rifle, who was in command, placed him.
En1f d their head and a D. hsa
enemy's line.
The Mobiles from the Department OF
Sarthe, behaved admirably. and ch argtd
the enemy with bayonet. The ChasssuIs
OF the Line also distinguished themselves.
The MO1lttslts has an editorial regretting
that the Bayar1anss who have nothing TO
gain in this war, but everything TO lose
from the gTaSp1ng ambition of Prussia,
should make so readily the sacrifices they
have, and become SO firm an ally Of that
power. They were led into the war with
Prussia, thinking their country would be
invaded, but they must know now that
the Republic has no such design.
Late adVices from Orleans dwell upon
the enormous exactions of Prussia, who
obtained many supplies, evidently not tor
troops.
It is also stated that many acts of ex-
treme cruelty We're committed by the
boring Franc. ttreurs.
Last night q number of Prussians were
killed at Chateau Dun, by Franc-tireurs.
AdYtces from Lyons and MarseiIles an
nounce all quiet IN both cities. At Mar
settles, the authority of Gent is generally
recognized.
A dispatch from Rsuen, yesterday, says
q force of five hundred Prussians, well
supplied with cannon, entered Bous
u1eres that day, but were driven out with
loss, by the Gardes Mobiles and Franc
tireurs.
DOLE, Nov. 7.-via London 12-Garl-
baldi's army Is finely dressed, and is
armed with muskets, transformed from
hint-iocKs. The Italians object to re-
cetving such arms. Their gun caps are
too small for the nipples. No artillery has
arrived, and the cavalry are few and badly
provided for. Money Is short.
