The presence of Napoleon at the battle Of
Woerth is positively affirmed. 1t is said
that the Prissians largely outnumbered the
French in every engagement. The French
claim that at Weissenburg 5000 men held in
check $4,000 Germans, with 100 guns, for
four hours, the former losing 1900 men,
while the enemy lost 10000. They also
claim that McMahon, at Frashweiler, had
only 10000 men against $4,000 Germans,
yet the French only yielded when 10000
more Germans were hurled upon them.

AGLOOMY PICTURE.
New York, August l3-A special cor
respondent of the Tribune writes from Paris
on Thursday evening 11th: The truth is
slowly leaking out; it shows that the position Of
the French army is worse and worse. Two
DAYS ago despatch, meant to be reassuring,
was placarlcd, stating that Failley had es-
tablished communication with Mcmahon.
1t now appears that these communications
were established on the field of the lost battle
of Woerth, when Failley came up with a
division of infantry and a brigade of cavalry
and shared McMahon's defeat. An Official
despatch SAYS he covered his retreat. Nc
Mahon's position is in all probability de-
plorable, driven as he is into the barren
mountains of the Vosges, with the wreck OF
an army without money, arms or PROVISIONS.
1t il not known in Paris where he Is at this
moment. The Germans being in possession
OF Sayerne have cut off all communications
bv rail or telegraph between Paris and Stras-
burg. 1t is known that a large Prussian
army. which must have taken Mulhauren, is
on its way to reinforce the Crown Prince at
Saverne.
THE GARRISON AND SUPPLIES AT srRAsBURG
TOO SMALL.
LONDON, August 12-From the best infor-
nation that can be gained, it appears that
the garrison of Strasburg consists Of only one
regiment of infantry and small force Of the
| National Guard. Supplies in the place are
in proportion to the garrison; a siege n
therefore impossible, and the capture Of the
place will probably be an easy matter.
The First Prlssian corps is at Phillips
burg.
NAPoLEON Denounced.
Pu,ss;an accounts say that nothing at
Sodowa could possibly exceed the destruction
| of life at Woerth.
The Paris Ray publishes . letter from
De Montague, dated Nancy, denouncing the
