LONDON. August 5.
The Times this morning says: The
plan of the Prussian Commander-in-
Chief, Gen. Moltke. has been recently
changed from the defensive to the often
sive; and an advance into France is
threatened. 1t is possible that Prince
Frederick Charles will push forward and
attack Nancy.
The fight at Saarbruck on Saturday
lasted Q hours, and ON both sides 900
men were placed hors de combat.
Judging from French accounts, the
mitrailleuse have already decided the
war.
The story which recently originated
In France about naval engagement off
Cuxhaven in which Prussian war yes-
sel was sunk. is false. There has been no
collision at sea between France and Prus-
sia, thus far.
The French say the needle gun recoils
badly; that marksmen are soon com
PEELED to fire from the shoulder. The
French also say the Prussian cavalry
carry old horse pistols, while the French
have carbines of long range, and ad-
mitting of aim.
Correspondence indorsed by The
Times as trustworthy and neutral, gives
the following interesting details of the
battle Of Saarbruck. The French made
some prisoners, but captured no cannon.
They lost 40 killed and 60 wounded.
The French force in the battle is esti-
mated at 80, 600; the Prussians, at only
5000. ARTILLERY won the fight. There
was but little infantry, and no cavalry,
engaged. 1t was the 59th Prussian regi.
ment, and not the 50th, as before re-
ported, which was engaged in this battle.
Three companies of the 40th held their
ground against the French until the
latter's force had fully developed its
strength. The small force of Prussians
then retired.
