PARIS August 6-Evening.-La Lilo
srte, In an extra this evening. says II
has received information that heavy
lighting has been going on since morn
ing ut several points along the frontier
The .IouRm du S0ir has reason t
believe that the PrusSian plan o.
attack Is to concentrate at Mayence
Coblentz. Darmstadt and Mannheim
and march at once into France through
Landau. This, it thinks, explains thu
assault on Weissenburg.

dispatch. dated to-day: Marsha

army a strong position near the plac'
of Yesterdays conflict. He Is In tele
graphic communication with all thu

LONDON, August $3.50 P. M.-The
Globe, an undoubted authority. says
great battle, in which many bodies o.
troops were engaged, began yesterday
but was interrupted by the darkness
1t was resumed early this morning anc
continued until 7 o'clock this evening,
when victory was declared for the
French. Similar rumors are current
in Paris, affecting the Bourse. The
contest between McMahon and the
Crown Prince of Prussia, already
mentioned. was apparently the conf
mencement of the struggle.
The PrusSian victory made o grea,
impression here. The Dali y Nens
this morning remarks:
"Henceforth we may look for ar
exchange Of hard blows. The French
Emperor cannot afford. under the cir
cumstanceS, to consult merely military
interest in the movements he orders
the moral effect Of this defeat at Weis'
senherg must be wiped out at whatever
price 1t may be necessary to pay. IL Is
understood that Marshal McMcMahor
was just returning from q long and sc
riouS conference with the Emperor
when this unexpected blow was struck
having carried away with him a plan
of campaign. 1t Is uncertain whether
this untoward event will interfere with
that plan or not. All that Is known o.
the character of the French army bid
us look for a serious attempt to avengt
the defeat"
