To CUT THE ORLEANS RAILWAY.
LONDON, Sept. 2O-Special to the World
SAYS: The Prussians sustained a serious
check yesterday in third attempt to cut the
Orleans Railway. After their repulse at
Invessy and before Fort livery, they yeaer-
day undertook to force a passage and secure
the control of the line. They were met in
their advance from Corbiel upon the main
trunk Of the Orleans line at the hamlet of
Wilson's, village commanded by low hills
and buried in woods, by the French. The
Prussian columns of $1,000 men was en-
countered by French force Of about equal
numbers, posted in a most advantageous pO-
sition, and with formidable artillery. The
engagement was extremely severe and lasted
nearly six hours. A fresh column Of
a..
battle had gone on three hours, and
attempted. by a flank movement, to enter a
wood. The slaughter was fearful. Masked
batteries of mitrailleuses kept up 20 continu-
Gus and terrible fire that the cavalry and
infantry Of the Prlssians were decimate,l and
repulsed along the whole line. They finally
fell back in disorder, holly pursued by the
French, who cut of their retreat upon Cor
biel and Thessonc, and drove them down the
main line Of the Orleans road, more than
three miles, through Savigny and Epcrnay,
and back about mile and half upon the vii
lage of Mateatchery, where fierce fight was
made in Burguerdian cemetery. The Pr,ls-
slams were here routed and driven in disorder
back towards their main army, being COM
PEELED to evaluate COrbiel at the same time,
and concentrate upon Melun. This clears
for the present the Orleans line, which is
the only communication between Paris and
the Provinces, now open. Flying parties Of
Prlssians have
SUCCEEDED IN CUTTING ALL OTHER ROADS
at points more or less remote from Paris
within circle of 80 miles, and in every case
they caused prOclamatiOns in French to be
denOuncing death to all working
parties attempting to repair the mischief
done.
