TIE EUROPEAN WAR NEws.-NothiDg OF
FRIDAY, AUGUST i6, 1870.

THE EUROPEAN WAR NEWs.-NothlDg OF
an official character and very little OF SPECIAL
interest relating to the war, is contained in the
European dispatches, published in the morn
ing papers, if the report" of another engage
medt is excepted. The Paris Figaro, upon
information received from "a person, who
reached Paris on Wednesday night, from
Epernay, publishes report OF battle which
is said to have occurred between Verdun and
H. ..A.~u TIC IuSSlans
G T1fu uusleated. The informant states that
'groups of Prussian stragglers, cavalry and in
fantry, were continually coming into Cha
Ions" The combat is said to have commenced
10 the morning at three O'Clock and the news
reached ChaIons and Epernay at about three
in the afternoon. Nothing definite is stated
as to the number Of men engaged, but accord.
Ing to runor "the entire army Of Prince Charles
was in the fight" The Press dispatches re
present the Prussians as having thrown for
ward strong scouting parties towards Paris,
and it is reported that the town of Sezanne,
sixty five miles southeast of Paris, was reached
by them on Wednesday. Scouts have also ap.
peared at Chalons, St. Menehould aud other
points 10 that direction. Both Chalons and
Epernay are reported to have been evacuated
by the French. 1t is stated that important
changes have been made in the disposition Of
the contsndng forces sinca the battle of Grave.
iotte, and these strategic movements that are
just now being developed account for the
paucity aud contradictory character OF the
dispatches received. There seems no need of
an excuse as to the "pauclty," but for the
Contradictory there would appear to be somc
necessity for explanation.
