TIE BATTLE FIELD OF W0ERTB.

The early dispatches which arrived Saturday
afternoon reported that Marshal MacMahon had re-
occupied Wissembourg and taken up strong DO
sition on the Bavarian frontier. This statement
however, was wholly inaccurate. To the contrary.
IL appears that the German army. commanded by
the Crown Prince OF Prussia, had actually ad-
vanced into France, evidently on the road leading to

village OF Woerhsur-Sauer, or Worth "a Il Is called
in German. Near this place the battle Is reported to
have taken place.
Woerth IS about twelve miles southwest OF Wis,

and some nine miles from Haguenau. IT stands
almost in the centre OF the triangle formed by Hague

base OF the yosges Mountains, the surrounding
country being exceedingly billy. Correctly writing
however, the village lies In the valley between
the vosges mountains and the Rhine river. BY the
despatch OF the Crown Prince OF Prussia which
says that Marshal MacMahon's army retired upon
Bitche, we are placed In doubt whether the French
