Prussians and the French force under command OF
General Ducrot In field, to which referred yester-
day, can now be told In very few words.
General Ducrot, with three divisions OF French
attacked the Prussians in their positions In the
woods at verriers, Clamart and vendon.
A portion Of the French attacking force, particu.
larly the cuirasslers, pushed forward too quickly.
They were surprised by the Prussans, who, By a
well directed fire, inflicted a very heavy loss on
them.
French confusion was the result One battalion OF
the Garde Mobile, having been thrown into tempo
rary tremor, fired into the French Sixteenth regi-
ment OF infantry Of the line VINO had been posted as
sklrmishers.
A general retreat Of the French was then com.
menced.
The Prussians who had established their artillery
on the surrounding heights opened fire on the
French regiments which were composed for the most
part OF reserves and recruits, In their retreat The
retreat became general. 1t was sauce quf peut, or

horrible afIair occurred just before midnight
last night IN OF the miserable houses on Youiig's
court, leading from North street, between Richmond
and Cross streets. Nearly every one who frequents
State street and that vicinity must remember the
elderly blind man who was so often to be seen In
and about Exchange street, mutely begging from
day to day. His name was John OCOnnOr, and he
lived with his wife Mary, and daughter
nearly thirty years OF age, In the court
referred to. 1t will not improve the chances OF the
other blind beggars the city for receiving aid
inform the public that this old men was the habit
OF getting intoxicated by OF the funds which
charitable passers dropped into his ever.extended
cap, and last night the whole family was In that
unfortunate condition. About quarter OF an
hour before twelve when 1t Is supposed that
both John and Mary were lying upon bed
In nearly helpless condition. one or both OF
them attempted to smoke. Carelessy lighting the
pipe, the match fell upon the bedclothes or spark
dropped from the pipe and set the clothes of the in
ebrlated pair on fire. In their helpless condition
they were unable to protect themselves; neither
was the drunken daughter able 10 help them.
Mrs. OConnor managed to get to the doorway,
her clothes all on fire, and there she fell
down and died. The old mans garments
were rapidly consumed, but he was able to speak
before he expir ed. 1t seems that when the 1re be-
gan to blaze In their clothing the maudlln daughter
ran TO the door and called for help; but as all the
neighbors were asleep 1t was some time before any
one came to the rescue. Mrs. OCoDnor was terribly
burned, ner clothes being burned to Q crisp. The
bodies Of the illated couple taken to the dead
mouse at Rn early hour this morning.

DISASTER AT THE FRosr--THE NEWS OF vINOY's
DEFEAT.
At mignieht yesterday the defeat OF General
vinoy by the Prussans became known to the peo.
pie. The bouevards were Wild with excitement.
Montmartenas also looked wild. La vilette was
furious. Ia Chnppelle turned the color Of the old
Prussan blue dye.
Dusky "mobots" were seized and questioned
everywhere. They declared that our red-legged
friends, the zouaves, had 'skedaddled" inglorousy
before the enemy.
The 'Inoblots, became Instantly the heroes Of the
hour.
An old gentleman who stood gesticulatng vio-
ently the Cafe le Paix seized the hapds OF the
'moblots" saying. You are the defenders Of the
country these zouaves have been paid to run away"
ave will defend you," replied the zolbot; 1--WE
are CONTAGIOUS but we are very thirsty" Their
minds appeared to have been made up firmly on the
latter point so the old gentleman was forced to
treat.
DESPAIR.
One gentleman was heard to say, "The city is to-
tally demoralzed better open the gates to the Prus-
SLAMS at once" Sngularly and significantly enough
this speech produced no expression OF Indignation,
nor any protest on the part Of the public.

Nothing Decisive from Paris-CIaim Of French
Successes-A Big Scare at OrIeans-vilIages
Burned by Germans.
TOURS, sept. "a, 1870.
No news has been received here from Paris TO-
day.
CLAIM OF FRENCH SUCCESSES BEFORE PARIS.
The Constitutional OF to-day says:-It was
enormously reported yesterday that the engage
ments around Paris resulted in French reverses
The French had the advantage In every one OF the
battles,
BIG SCARE AT ORLEANS AND PITHIvIERs.
The rumors Of the approach Of the Prusslans to
Orleans created the greatest terror. Although
there was really not the slightest danger, the rail-
We service was stopped and disorganization in all
departments became general. No Prussians had
been near the CITY, as reported, although q small
body Of uhlans had pressed forward as far as Piih
vlers, twenty three miles northeast OF Orleans On
the approach to Pthiviers hundreds or people be.
took themselves to hight, believing that large
Prussian force was marching up. The town being
left defenceless the few uhlans were enabled to
make large acquisitions without molestatlon. An
other result OF the scare was the needless cutting
and destroying Of the railway to protect Orleans,
which, 1t now appears, was not menaeed at all.
The press univer sally condemn this want OF disc
pine. One regiment Of Turcos is now In Orleans.
VILLAGES BURNED BY THE GERMANS.
A despatch from Rouen, dated on the evening OF
the 22d, states that the small villages between Me-
zeres and Epin al have been burned by the Prus.
slams. The inhabitants atte mpted to extlngush the
flames, but the Prus slams opened fire on them with
artillery, compelling them TO desst. The villages
were entirely destroyed.
FRENCH MAYORS GETTING PLUCKY.
Yesterday fourteen uhlans entered Etampes and
demanded money and arms. The Mayor OF the
town refused unless a force large enough to over
power him came to enforce the demand. The Prus-
SLAMS then left and none have appeared there since.
GENERAL ITEMS OF MILITARY NEWS.
General Cambreil has been appointed to the CON-
mand OF the army OF Bourges.
Marseilles and 1Oulon are preparing for a vigorous
defence.

DETAILS
have just received special letter for the HERALD
from Paris. The paper was despatched from the
city on the night Of the Goth inst, and supplies
matter later by eight nine hours than the avices
last forwarded from the same quarter to you IN New
York. The contents Of the document tend to con-
nrm the fears which had been previously entertained
III.
mented by the "Reds, {" in the capital.
The HERALD special writer says:-At the present
moment there exists great danger of sudden
change Of government here. The 'reds', remain
furious against the leaders OF the frss democratic
movement, and at the same moment vastly
eager to obtain government place and power. They
have prepared and remain ready for the act to seize
the Hotel de Vile at any moment. Their party stands
thoroughly organized, and do not think that there
Is any executive force which is sufficient to resist
them.
1t Is very difficult to say or even conjecture what
would be the immediate eject or Interior conse-
Quences Of their sezing the supreme control OF pub
lie afYairs. Most people fear q general pillage OF
property; many persons dread system OF assassi-
nation Of the rich as well as the political enemies Of
she reds' leaders. Paris remains in what may de-
scribe as q truly terrible plight.
should an armistice be arranged with the besieg-
ing Prussians 1t may have the effect Of saving the
lives and property Of thousands of citizens. Thus
far the Prussans much less dreadful the minds
OF the welldisposed Parisians than are the low,
II they once break loose will commit every descrip-
ti0n Of horrible crimes and enact social tragedy at
every step.
This, adds the writer is a brief description of The
situation which exists in Paris at the moment when
Idate my letter.
