vance from Corbeil, ,upon themain trunk
of the Orleans line, at the hamlet Of Es-
some, village commanded by low hills
and buried In the woods, by the French.
A Prussian column Of thirty thousand
men was encountered by French force
of about equal numbers posted in most
advantages position and with formidable
artillery. The engagement was extreme.
ly severe and lasted nearly six hours. A
fresh columnIot nearly twenty thousand
Prussians came up after the battle had
gone on three hours and attempted,
by flank movement, to enter the
woods. The slaughter here was fearful.
Masked batteries Of French mitrailleuses

ted and repulsed along the whole line.

This victory, clears Tor the present the
Orleans line, which Is the only commune
cation between Paris and the provinces
now open. Flying parties Of Prussians
have succeeded in cutting all the other
roads at points more Of, less remote ifom
Parls, and in every case they caused a
proclamation 10 French to be distributed,
announcing death to all working parties
attempting to repair the mischief done.
TWO MONTHS PROVISIONS IN PARIS. Z
Paris is 'abnadantly lproyisioped dor
more than two months. Bread Is now no
dearer than before the siege began, and
meat Is cheaper. This results naturally
from three causes: The diminution Of the
number Of consumers, over three hundred
thousand persons having left Paris during
the last fortnight; from the adoption OF
Cigid economy bYNt families and citizen,
and from the Sf60rga anization{ {linder, strict
discipline, Of the c6mmissdriat Of the
troops by Gen. Trochu.
iolag STRICT DISCIPLINE ENFORCED. q
Trochu has introduced in tho garrison
a sternness of discipline not known in the
French army for years, and with results
already visible, In the perfect order Of the
city, the bearing Of the soldiers, and the
general high spirit which prevails In the
metropolis. Gt2 Nfig

There Is much alarm however among
tile shopkeeping classes at the arming Of
the working classrs, which Trochu Is car.

the chiefs OF all the societies Of working
