LONDON, Sept. Co. Special to New York
World Your correspondent at Rouen sends
to-day particulars Of the action reported yester-

a much more important engagement than first
complete defeat of the Germans.
| The action was fought on the line of the Or
leans Railway, beyond Epinay station, about 16
miles from Paris. A column of ten thousand
| Prussians advancing from Spinoy, about two
miles on2 the plateau of Lonj Nneau, attacked
! French force numerically inferior, but occupy
iDg formidable position above the river Frette,
which commanded the roads to Balamvilliers,
| Cuchet SecauX and CharteauX.
| The attack began at six in the morning. The
! French forces, mainly Gardes Mobiles with a
battalion of the line, had 16 mitrailleuses in
| position. The French behaved with singular
steadiness awaiting the German attack in
cover of the woods, and drew the Germans on
until they were brought obliquely into range of
the masked battery, which then opened on
them suddenly aud with tremendous effect.
Tho Prussian column was cut in two, and the
French charging upon the flank drove the frag-
ments in hurried retreat down steep and rapid
descent, beyond the tower of MOntchay, towards
the baTbettes and lines. There the Germans
attempted to make stand and a new formation,
but the French artillery, which had been
quickly brought up by the crossroads of the
country, here opened upon them again with
more effect than before. The retreat was con-
verted into a rOut.
The German troops fed in all directions,
throwing away their arms, aud the French
captured all their artilleTy-a battery of steel
cannon, with two regimental standards, and
between six and seven hundred men, who sur
rendered in a body and were despatched next
day to Chartres. Among the prisoners are two
colonies of the Prussian line, and a number OF
Saxon officers.
