ed to form junction with sBazaine but
a wedge of Prussians has been driven
between the two armies The human
wedge is now thicker than ever before

ated from Bazaine by two German armies
instead of one. The 9th French regi-
ment of Chasseurs 4 Antique commanded
| by Marcus De Galten attacked two regi-
ments of Saxon dragons twice their
number near Mousson and after sharp
fight succeeded in utterly routing them
with considerable loss. 1t is still believed
here. that Mcmahon VIII continue TO
persevere in his endeavors to force his
way to Metz notwithstanding..ssthe IL
creased difficulties. - s

our efforts; the news from the army Of
Mcmahon continues excellent; he has
not been for one instant deceived by the
movements of the Prince Royal, he has
understood, that the Prince meant to
overreach his arGly and he has therefore
kept in advance of the Prussians the
Parislans must not however cease pre-
