in certain town an old man whom we

A dealer had a quantity Of dry fish

PARIS, Sept. l Midnight-In the alb
sence of official reports from command
ing generals the Ministry publish the
following, CLEANED from the multitude
Of dispatches received from variops
Belgian towns, up to P. NJ, August
3lst, which bear tho character of prob
ability:
On the Both a series of engagements
occurred bet ween Mcmahon and the
enemy, near Meziers, lasting from A.
NJ. to 8 P. N. Our troops were attack
ed from the woody heights of Stours, a
position we had recently evacuated.
The attack, which was vigorous, forced
our troops to make retrogIade move
ment. At o'clock we took the often
sive and retained it until 6 P. NJ, when
darkness ended operations. After
nightfail we recrossed the Meuse, in
order to form again near Donchery, q
few miles east of Meziers. This first
days lighting cost us sensible losses
while int1icting heavy losses on the en-.
envy.
The Prussians burned Mouzon and
killed most of the inhabitants.
The next day, the 3lst, the Prus
slams again took the offensive, att A
NJ, on the left bank of the Meuse, be
tween Dousy and Douehery. Our for
ces retreated slowly until McAIahor
| had drawn the Prussians into an angle
formed by the ramparts of Sedan ant
the heights on the left bank of the riv
er. Here the Prussians experienced
heavy losses, and were compelled, OF
account of the murderous fire, to retreat
They effected this about noon, with
drawing towards Vlllcmantry, and, at
ter several attempts, placed themselve
on the opposite side of the Mouse.
On the morning of the 3lst, McMahol
crossed the Meuse at Mouzon, and ev
erything indicates that the engage
ment will be resumed to-day.
New YORK, Sept. 2.-London Tele
grams say that the battle Of Thursda,
resulted in decisive victory for Nc
Nahon. The battle, according to
Brussels telegram, continued for re-
honrs, Mcmahon utterly defeating tn
Prussians capturing thirty guns and
large number ofprisoners.
While Mcmahon was thus engagin
