NEW YoRK, August IL.

A London correspondent Of The New
York Herald, who was present at the
battle of Woerth, telegraphs the follow
ing from Carlsruhe:
The French official accounts of the
battle of Woerth are wholly untrue. Me-
Mahon was completely routed. The
French abandoned everything. and fled;
leaving behind their killed, wounded and
prisoners, numbering 10000, out of 50.-
900 engaged. The French held strong
positions, but the Prussians fired with
terrible precision-the French very badly.
Both sides fought desperately. Finally,
the French gave way in n panic.
The accounts representing Strnsbourg
still in communication with Nancy are
untrue. S,rasbonrg has been completely
besieged since Monday. and the gates are
shut. Heavy artillery rs now on the way
to the Prussians. A stout resistance is
expected.
The Crown Prince is vigorously pnrsu-
ing Mcmahon, and another engagement
is expected.
1t Is believed the object of the Prns-
slams is to get between Metz and Paris.
Gable to Tribnnel
Our special dispatch from Paris 10Th,
evening, saws the new Cabinet means
strong measures against Paris, as well as
Prussia. Another reverse, and the En-
peror is gone. Confidence is utterly
destroyed.
Rumors of battles are flying around
Paris, bu, no official news received.
The French are being massed rapidly,
and reinforced: and within few days
Paris will be almost denuded of young
men.
The popular devotion Is for the Conn-
try, aud no longer for the dynasty.
Everything looks to-day as if an Orleanist
or Republic would succeed the En-
peror.
