Messengers sent to Orleans yesterday,
where battle was going on, report that
the French were In much smaller force
than the Prussians, and were literally
crushed by their superior artillery and
driven back into the suburbs Of the town.
Some barricades have been erected there,
and our forces took advantage Of the shell
ter that these afforded. The Papal
zouaves and mobiles behaved most cour-
ageously, but the regular troops fed al
most at the first fire. None of the regu-
lar troops made much resistance, and
many threw away their arms in flight.
The Prussians opened fire on the town
after the French defeat, and owing TO the
barricades many fires occurred. The rail
road depot was destroyed in this way, and
many other large establishments.
SITUATION AT LYONS.
At the last accounts the people of Ly-
ons were flying in all directions. At a
late hour last night the Prussians had
pushed south to Beauney and Meury, be-

Papal zouaves will be surrounded and cap
tured.
Other French troops in that neigbbor-
hood are in good position, and heavy re-
were sent forward to them
during night. 1t is reported that some
heavy guns have also gone forward from
Bourges.
The French troops at Beauguey and
MeaIy are excellent. They are composed
mostly of the national guard and mobiles,
and are determined to resist TO the last
