. e n 81 A SHARP RENCoNTER. " isi'-'-'
I LONDON, September 1S.-The
WOrEd's special says there was a
sharp engagement yesterday on the
line of the Orleans railroad, near
Corbiel, between the advance OF the
Prussian left wing and body Of the
Guards Mobile, and Frances Tireurs,
supported by a detachment of the
army of Paris. The Prussian caval-
~ were defeated Thursday p. m. at
Guigue, and driven back on Milan, on
the Paris and Lyons railway, which
had been occupied in force on Wednes-
day by the infantry and artillery.
Yesterday morning a column OF
three armies advanced from Milan
upon Corbeil, fourteen miles from
Paris, with the object of destroying
the flour mills and seizing the grana-
ries at that point, and to throw for
ward party to cut the direct line of
railroad, two miles further north, at
Juvisy. The second object was at
tained, but the Prussians, having
pushed on three miles further, to
albion, were attacked by superior
force, and after a severe conflict they
were routed and compelled to retreat
upon the intrenchments which they
had thrown up on a hill at Juyisy,
commanding the passage of the Osgie.
The bridge over which they had been
was blown up by the same French. 4
At the same time the Prussians at
CorbeiI, who have re-established
themselves in the hamlet of Ris, were
attacked by a French force advanc-
ing from Longumaneu and Etamps.
They succeeded in maintaining their
position, and during the action an ex-
tensive mill and graineries on Essone
were set on fire and burned TO the
ground, with all the contents not pre-
viously transported to Paris. 90
In the action at Albion many villas
and private residences were set on
fire, and the ancient Protestant
Church, one of the few exempted by
the revocation of the edict of Nantes,
was seriously injured.
When your special correspondent

the Prussians at Javissy.

Pas de Calais, was this morning de-

A detachment of Prussian cavalry
attacked the station at LOhgumaneu,
three miles from Amiens, captured

burned the buildings. Communica-
tion between Amiens and Rouen still,
however, remains open. ss.aH - p
/ A rumor from Amiens that force
under Canrobert on Wednesday at
tackled and defeated the Prussians
near st. Quentin, and that an action
was going on Thursday near TerquiOn,
is believed. Canrobert has formed a
junction with troops from Hille Val
encienians ARA, and is threatening
the right wing of the Prussians before
Paris at COmpeign. Ea.f
1t is announced from Brussels that
the InternatiOnalist have begun to
disseminate throughout Southern Ger
many documents calling on the people
to make common cause with the peo-
pie of France, and demand the aboii-
ton of the nobility and monarchy.

ject of consolidation with the North
German Confederation. .-f
A formidable popular demonstra,
ton was held in Vienna yesterday,
before the hall of the Imperial Parlia-

fort, were found covered Wednesday
morning with huge placards calling
on the people to prepare for the pro-
clamation of democratic local re-
public. Similar placards were affixed
to the main entrance of the Paulus
