the Minister of War A division of
cavalry has reached here from the
south OF France. A large force OF
Mobiles has passed through the city
going TO Orleans. The official Journal
Of the Republic to-day publishes note
from Gambetta to Cremieux, received
from Paris by balloon, to the effect
that Paris is determined in a heroic re-
sistance; that she is strong in soldiers
and that supplies are adequate for the
entire winter. The rumors OF an in
,estine fight at Paris were absolutely
untrue. The proclamation of martial
law in Algeria has been suspended
Prussian dragons are at Mendeux, and
they have also strong forces at Bougi-
val, Reuil, Lantere and near Chatillen
Skirmishes have occurred at Nillegnif,
La HAYS, Chevilly and elsewhere The
Prussians have apparently concluded
10 abandon the ST Dennis side and
their movements now look as though
they intended to attack at SieuX. Later
information reports the Prussians near
Bourget and at ST. Cloud.

occurred on the 23d inst, between

particulars are unknown.

in force from there and encountered
heavy masses of Prussians who were
concentrated in the woods The enemy
were mainly protected by the trees, but
Notwithstanding this the French attack
ed them vigorously and they. were driven
back. The Prussans, however, reform
ell in the woods in good order and took
strong position on the heights of
Chatillon. Here the Prussian artillery
fire became so terrific that Gen Deverot
was compelled to seek shelter in Fort
Vauves. His artillery was well served
and the Mobiles cool and resolute.
Gen. Deverot finally Withdrew into Par
i. The Prussians suffered severely and
made no further demonstration.
Tours September 20, Noon.-Sull
later dates received from Paris say that
bevond some skirmishing at the out
posts there was nothing new.
A Versailles message says the Prus-
slams have undertaken nothing impor-
TINT in that neighborhood. The gun
boats on the Seine are ready for action,
and entertainments and barricades are
going on everywhere around the city.

from the works and they have thrown
up earthworks near Sacour Neuve.
Some of the enemys scouts have ap-
peared at ST. Cloud.
Tours, Sept. 26.-There have been
several engagements with the enemy IN
the open country between Paris and
Blois. The results are not serious.
Several journals here dwell on the fact
that the Government permits such or
der 10 continue, as at Lyons. Clusere'
is there, and his influence is very bad
