Tho Battle of nIouzon.

LONDON, aug %'.-lSpeclal 10 N. l. ICte-
gram by despatch just received from our
special correspondent at Montmedy, we have
news of a great and bloody battle begun on the
evening of the 2Sth Sunday in the immediate
neighborhood of Mouzon. The battle is as yet
undecided. Fighting is now going on between
Charleville and Ardennes. Sixty thousand
troops have left Paris to join MacMahon, and
have already passed beyond Scissors. They are
in excellent order and the best of spirits and a
feeling of confidence seems to animate the entire
force.
Mouzon, near which place the great battle of
yesterday is reported to have been fought, is
bank of the Meusc, miles s. E. of Sedan and
miles n. w. of Montmedy, which last-named
place, it will be remembered, is % miles due
north of Yerdun. Mouzon is about so miles w.
n. w. of Verdun, and is within 10 miles of the
Belgian frontier, and about miles from the
railroad running in a s. E. direction from
Mezieres to Montmedy and Thionville. Charlie
vile, which is mentioned in the account of the
battle, is towE of about 10, 600 inhabitants. on
the Meuse, opposite Mezieres, and is 10 miles
n. W. of Sedan, and about 90 miles N. W. of
Mouzon. AS far as we are aware, there is no
town of any importance by the name of Ar
dennes, by which the department extending
from the Belgian frontier to the neighborhood
or Rheims Lis known, but there is probably
village in the neighborhood of Charleville by
that name.-ED. EVE. TEL.

Paris Calmly Waiting.
| PARIS Aug. 29.-The MOniteur of this morn
| ing has the following
"As the attack of MacMahon and Bazaine
upon the Prussians near Metz may be delayed
| for day or two, and the road TO Paris is open,
| the arrival here of the Prussians must be calcu-
| lated upon. According to daily marches about
4
| six DAYS will be needed. Perhaps their scouts
| will arrive sooner.
''It would serve no purpose to conceal this.
The Ministry did its duty when it warned
France that Paris has but to wait resolutely
| making the m ost of the delay. Above all we
must observe order. The authorities are doing
all possible to prepare Paris for siege, and we
shall be ready. We are confident of the patri-
otic courage of our citizens and the future of
| France"
