Dieux A sortie from Paris, combined
with an attack from Versailles is
daily expected The Parisans were
Yesterday attempting to erect bridges
over the Seine near Sevres, 10 be used
in case OF a sortie, but have not yet sue
ceeded. General Won Mo.tke seems to
think that the consequences OF a sortle
would be very serious.
Last night the personal luggage Of
the king was packed up in readiness for
flight, and the same precautions Will be
taken tonight. Won Moltke says that
no troops can possible be spared from
the army around Paris, and that the

A PrusSian dispatch announcing the
actions of the 18th, at Chateau Dun
and Cheteau d Beut, WAS erroneous, only
one action was fought that day, at
Cheteau Dun, where severe engage
ment took place, resulting at first III the
repulse of the French. The Prussian
cavalry were subsequently checked
bv the arrival of the I'D Division. This
makes it clear that General D Aurelles
is still moving with his right, his left
resting on Orleans Great care is taken
10 conceal D Aurelles plans, but | state
on high authority that he is amusing
the Duke of Mecklenburg with a por-
ton of his army while moving tine bulk
OF his force, not less than 10000 men,
northward to form a junction with
Keratry, coming from the west, and
with Bourbak, coming from the north
east. They will move quickly on Paris
with the combined armies, which will
be under the command OF Gambetta
and DAurelles, General Bourbake be-
ing behind him. A large reserve is
moving forward with sixty-tve thou
sand perfectly armed and trained
troops. Keratry has $4,000 men. When
these armies effect junction, the num-
Der of troops will not be less than 200,
600, besides the reserves and 100000 of
the army of the Loire entrenched at
Orleans and holding the line extending
north of Chateau Dun and Chartres.
Part OF Frederick Charles army has
established communication with the
Duke OF Mecklen.urg, between Etamps
aud Fontain Bleau.
The whole force Of Torur will prob.
ably effect a junction on the 23d. The
united strength Of his force will then
be 10000. The strategy of D. DAurells
has drawn them considerably south,
where he will confront them with an
entrenched army of equal numbers,
while with the main body of 265 900
men he moves on Versailles from the
west
