New YORK, Aug. 31.-A special to the |
Herald says close examination of tele-
grams and letters creates the impression
that McMahon's Northern movement may
result in effecting the retreat of Bazaine
from Metz.
1t is known that the King and Crown
Princes headquarters were at Bar lie Due
and Liguay on the Oath. The Prussians
first heard of the abandonment of Chal-
Ons on that day. Cavalry scouts sent out
80 miles knew nothing of McMahon's
Mcmahon left Chalons on the 21st, and
Rheims on the 22d, and reached Sedan
on the oath. 1t is believed the French
troops reported at Rethel yesterday were
sent from Paris, and that
Mcmahon is massing his forces, now
about 10000 strong, in the neighbor-
hoods of Montmedy, with the intention of
making desperate attack towards Metz.
An engagement took place yesterday
between Mouzon and Carignan between
a strong force of Prussisn cavalry and
the advance guard of the French army.
After hard contest the French fell back;
the Prussians took possession of Carig-
nan on the line of the railroad from Sedan
to Thionville, destroying rails to-day and
fighting was renewed at Armigy on the
same line of the railroad, ten kilometres
from the Belgian frontier.
In consequence of the position of the
contending armies, the Belgian troops
composed of Flanders have been stationed
