that town. which terminated in the defeat OF the
French forces This correspondent reported that he
was an eyewitness Of the engagement at Saarbruck,
and that it was a surprise to the French. Ninety
thousand Prussans confronted the French Second
Corps composed of 80 900 men, under Gen. Frossard.
The Prussians, by rapid movements, suddenly ap-
peared in the woods the town, and opened q
terrific fire of artillery and small arms upon the
French.
Frossard's command was quickly formed into Iine
and his columns advanced to the assault of the Prs
sian position. The Prussians from the cover OF the
forest opened a witherng fire upon the assauting
columns which repeatedly reformed and advanced
only to be repulsed. hundred tunes did the French
troops with heroic valor, advance close up 10 the
edge of the woods, and with desperate impetuosity
threw themselves upon the Prussians, and were
always repulsed. They became dispirited and could
not be reformed The Prussan artillery was served
with terrible precision and the fire Of the infantry
was telling. Gen. Frossards army corps was fright
fully decimated His ranks were torn to pieces
The French troops complain loudly of the ncapacity
of their commanders.
The correspondent who details the above informa-
ton also informs The Times that the French military
authorities, upon discovering his presence In their
camp, ordered him to return forthwith to Paris, and
in compliance with their commands he started to re-
turn to Paris. While the way he was assailed by
mob and dragged through the village, being de-
nOunced as Prussian spy, and subjected to such
brutal maltreatment that his life was seriously en-
dangered The correspondent owes his safety TO the
Mayor of Forbach who intervened in his behalf and
rescued him from the clutches of the mob.
