allowed toTeturn to their occupations in
private life; the forts, cannon and muci-
tons of war to be given up to the Prus-
slams, and the regular garrison be per-
mitted to march out with the honoIs of

1t these terms of surrender are refused

distely follow the refusal.
Advices from Paris to the 2Sd ult., say

Details of Monday and Tuesday.
A special correspondent of the Tribune
at Versailles telegraphs on the Goth ult.:
A soItie was attempted agains Chaissy lie
Roe, and feigned attacks upon Mouletout
and BesOns would have been pushed home
had the Prussian lines proved weak.
The French began The movement
against Besons in the middle of the night
OF the 2Sth ult. by heavy cannonade
from Mont Valerien and an attempt real
or feigned TO throw bridges across the
Seine. Musketry fire was exchanged be-
tween the belligerents on the opposite
sides of the river, and officers were con-
tinually exposing themselves to hold the
troops steady, and suffered much from
the Jagers' fire. About noon the fire
from Fort ValeTien slackened and the Mo-
biles were Withdrawn.
A sortie against Chase LIE Roi began
little later, and feint against MOuier
laut. About twenty battaliOns came out
at O'Clock from Vile JOuf, and adyanc-
ed on the position of the 9th Prussian
corps. The guns of the new works at
Vile Jouf supported the attack by an in
eessant fire, reaching mainly the right of
the I'd Bavarian corps and inficting slight
losses.
The beginning of the French move
ment was conducted with great energy,
but the French speedily became dis.
coursged under the sharp fire of the be-
sieg!ng forces, who unmasked their field
batteries, which Immediately proved ex-
ceedingly annoying.
In the meantime the French were pre-
pairing an attack on Monnterelaut with
infantry moving up from Surves under
cover of the guns of the new out-work
at Mount Vallerein.
The attack commenced at O'Clock YES
terday morning. The Prussians were
vigorously shelled and detschments of
GaIdes Mobile began skirmishing Sev-
eral Prusslan field batteries and large
force Of line infantry soon advanced to
support the Jaeger companies and-the
fifth corps engaged the French gunboats
on the Seine which took part in the action
and shelldd the Jaegers.
There were two or three crude attacks
made on Mouterlaut, as if &c storm the
Prussian works, but the French support
were So manOuyercd as to give the idea
that no orders had reached them
to advance, although they were in strong
force, and notwithstanding the great ex-
ertions of their officers, the attacking ba-
tallions were thrown into disorder. Their
supports failed TO arrive.
The affair was over in two hours. The
Germans are in excellent spirits at the
prospect of active work. The troops are
singing and bands nlaYing.
