Fight for some Days.
A special correspondent writes from
Mezieres Sunday: / left Rethel yester-
day. and was one day on the road. On
my arrival here found no troops besides
the garrison, but the Prince Imperial has
arrived during the day with an escort of
Central Guards. The Emperor slept at
Tour Leron night before last, and left
Yesterday for Lechsne, sending the Prince
here at the same time. This morning the
Prince and escort started at 10:3 80 for a
secret destination, which | am privately
informed is Sedan; this is providing the
Prussians have not, as reported, cut the
railroad betwesn Mezieres and Sedan.
The Prince goes by the road, indeed, but
he would aot be sent forward unless IN
eighborhood was clear of the enemy.
. We start tomorrow for Montmedy via
Sedon. To day there arrived several nun
dred artillery horses and some guns from
| Vincennes for the ramparts here.

mean to fight for some days. .-.
The National Guards here are in unl1
form forty years old, and wholly undrllled,
but ready to fight. The Mobiles have no
uniforms at all, bat look soldiery.
