NEAR METz, In CAMr, September %.
Since the fearful battle Of the 18th of
August, the Prussian army has been
hard at work. The activity and de-
termined bravery Of the French SOL
oilers has kept the besieging force con-
stantly employed. Their vigilance Is
proved In repeated s~orties, and reso-
lutte attempts have been made by Ba-
zaine to break the bonds in which he is
held. Notwithstanding the attempt
to treat capitulation has never been
entertained for q moment. When the
beleaguered General was not prepared
to avail himself Of any symptom OF
neglect or weakness on the part OF the
enemy, at noon on the 2Sd, under cover
Of the guns Of the fort the French
sailed forth In considerable strength
against the Prussian right. A vigor-
Gus attack and defense were made, the
Prussiaus taking advantage Of the
woods. The battle ragged from midday
till I O'Clock. when the Germans re-
ceived supports and assumed the Of
fensive, and drove the enemy within
their lines. a.
On the 24th a still more desperate
attack was attempted. The French
advanced in a large body Of infantry,
supported by artillery and cavalry,
and covered by the cannon Of the fort,
which opened the fire. The French
attacked vigorously tho Prussian line,
n little east OF the Thionville road.
Regiment after regiment fell in solid
line of the defenses Of the Prussians,
who stood like iron. Once the French
gained a temporary advantage, carry
ing an outwork Of the Prussian lines,
and turning the flank Of another po-
sition, but they were shortly driven
back, calamity contestlng every inch
Of ground, and at length they were
again forced to retire under the forts.
The thrilling display Of stubborn de-
termination on both sides was never
excelled. Details Of the result are rs
yet unknown.
