LONDON, August Ia p. M
The HERALD special correspondent who was
present at the battle between the French and
Prussian troops OF Woerth on Saturday telegraphs
from Carlsruhe that the French Official report OF
that sangunary encounter is wholly untrue.
The special correspondent OF the HERALD saws
that Marshal MacMahon was completely routed on
the occasion, and tnat the French ned and left
everything Their killed, wounded and prisoners
numbering 10000, were sbandoned There were
$4,000 men engaged on the French side. They held
strong position.
The Prussian firing was terribly and fatally true
In its range and effect.
The firing Of the French was bad.
The men on both sides fought desperately, accord.
ing to their force and resources, for some time.
Finally the French soldiers gave way to panic
The accounts representing Strasbourg as being IN
communication with Nancy are untrue, as stras
bourg has been completely beseged by the Prussians
since Monday last and the gates OF the place shut
Reinforcements or heavy artillery were ON the way
to the Prussian army, very stout resistance and
defence on the part OF the French are expected
there.
The Crown Prince of Prussia was pushing Mac
Mahon with great spirit and vigor. and another en-
gagement is expected. II IS believed that the objec-
tive point Of the Prussians is to get between Metz
and Paris.
