THE NEWS.

By the arrival here on Monday evening
of the c. G.. L. Steamer NoUeau Monde
from Havana we have received q letter
from ouHNew York Correspondent, which
we give herewith, and add thereto Tele-
grams of 9th and 10th inst.
From the Havana Papers we learn of
there having been q naval combat on 9th
inst. between the French Man-of-War
Steamer BouUet and the Prussian Gunboat
Meteor. Our last advices left these two
vessels in the Harbour of Havana on 8lh
inst. The BOuUet put 10 Sea the same
afternoon and twenty-four hours after she
was followed by the Meteor. The Span
iSh Gunboat CentineL0 and the War
Steamer Herman COrteS, the latter having
on board the Captain-General and many
other officials, followed the Meteor, and
witnessed the engagement. The Meteor
Sound the Bouvet waiting for her outside
of the line of Spanish Maritime jurisdic-
ton. The first shot was fired by the
BOuvet at thirty-two minutes past two
p. M, and four or five more were fired
before the Meteor replied. After they had
exchanged some thirty or forty shots the
BOuUet received a ball in her steam chest
which completely disabled her machinery,
when she made sail for the harbour of
Havana. She had three men injured, two
by the explosion of the steam, and one
by d splinter. Tho Meteor had her masts
shot away, and as soon as she could dis
entangle her screw from the wreck she
steamed into the harbour. She had three
men killed and one wounded. This little
duel lasted scarcely an hour. The spec
tators spoke highly of the courage and
skill of the combatants.

VIA HAVANA.

New York, 3rd November 1870.
Dear Sir,-There are advices to-day in
London from the city of Paris dated Oc-
tober 28th. The Parisians were busy
rendering their position as im~pregnable
as possible, and state that they have pro-
visions to last till the middle of January.
In some places the Prussians had resumed
their positions, and from others they had
been dislodged after hard fighting, The
former had succeeded in placing batteries
at Courbevoie, Mendon and Bagneux.
Opposite this last mentioned place the
French were constructing a large redan,
which was expected to add largely to
the strength of the line. Gen. Trochu
had received news from Tours to the oath
October by the "underground telegraph,
whatever that may mean. At Paris
everything was quiet, both parties prepa-
ring for the coming final struggle.
The Army of the Loire was said to be
fully 100, 900 strong, and was expected to
take the field shortly.
Gen. Bourbaki had resigned, the people
having lost confidence in him since the
fall.of Metz. TO which, it is said, he was
a party, and the government had accepted

London.-The following is reported
from Versailles under date of 9TH inst. =
GENERA T'rOchu has inside the walls of
Paris 100000 men who can assume the
offensive and are ready to take the field.
1t is admitted that the city of Paris is
absolutely impregnable, and can be re-
duced only by %starvasion. 1t contains
abundant provisions for two months more.
Outside Of Paris are six armies already
organized or being organized, and which
in all amount to 100000 men disciplined
and we'll armed, besides numerous de-
tachments of Franc-tireurs, the garrisons
in several places, and the irregular troops.
The army of the Loire, commanded by
General D'Aureless de Paladines, is COM
posed of 10000 men !; the army Of the
East under the Count of Keratry numbers
100, 900 men that of the North command
ed by General Bourbaki, $4,000 men
that of the centre, under General Tupant,
10000 men; that of the Rhine, under
General Michel 10000 men, and that of
the Vosges, under General CambreIs,
5000 men. All these armies are well
provided with everything except artillery,
but this deficiency is being rapidly sup
piled. The army of the East has SIS field
pieces which are breech leaders. No
where is there any scarcity of money,
provisions, ammunition, clothes or horses.
''The German army which is besieging
Paris continues to suffer much from sick
ness {; which is constantly increasing. The
average of sick in each battalion amounts
to 800. The nominal force of the batta-
lion is 1000. 1t is not possible for any
more forces to come from Germany. The
last recruits which are now on the way
to this country are for the most part boys
of less than 10 years of age. The 10th

tanned a victory near Blalzy. The French
forces, composed of body Franc-tireurs
commanded by GaribaIdi, repulsed the
enemy which intended 10 cross the Soane,
and made them retreat to B%retonvillierS,
near DIXON. On the 9th the Garde-Mobile
OF Gers and he FranC-tireur of Paris sur
prised "a regiment of German Cuirassiers
near Chatcaudum, and killed and wound
ed a number of them. Near TelIieres,
in Normandy, on the left bank of the
Seine, there was an encounter between
the GGrde-M ObLe of the Seine and Disc
aud the Prussians. The Garde routed the
enemy and drove them back to Etrepag-
ny. In Versailles deaths from starvation
occur daily. The German Parliament
has been summoned to meet at Strasbourg
instead Of Versailles.
The French army has crossed the Loire.
The Prussians in front OF Paris have fall
cons trained to chase the carrier pigeons
which leave Paris with dispatches. II is
said that ROChetort resi- signed 10 disgust on
account of seeing himself insulted by the
people for whom be had made so MANY
sacrifices.
Versailles.-A detachment of the Prus-
sian infantry regiment No. 9 had an en-
counter on Monday with body Of Gurde
Mobile in Bretagne between Boulogne and
Chanmont. The French had 70 killed
and wounded and 40 prisoners, and the
Germans two wounded ~ The Prussians
have occupied Montbeliard without meet
ing with the least resistance and have
placed it in a state Obedience as accessory
10 the siege of Bedford. Seven aeronants
taken in balloons which fell in the Prus-
sian lines have been sent to fortresses in
Germany. 1t is said that documents found
in their possession graveIy compromise
some members of the diplomatic corps
and other spersons in whose honour CON
fdence had been placed. The 4th Prus-
sian division Las arrived in the neighbour
hood of Versailles, and the 3rd is at Cha
teau Thierry. Prince Frederick Charles
has arrived at Commercy.
