Inc Journai. OlficIel charges that the Prus-
SLAMS pIllaged EiIle-Neuv for three hours, be-
cause the French troops had obstinately de-
Tended the place. They next levied enormous
contributions and plundered the inhabitants
unable to pay some Of them. Old men were
dragged from their houses ana beaten until
their neighbors surrendered their last son to
save their lives Casks of wine were wantonly
broken open and their contents poured on the

soiled everything. A German artillery caisson
captured near Orleans was found filed with
laces and silks, and another contained clocks,
vases and rich parlor ornaments, taken from
country seats around the city.
