correspondent writes. "As we reached
Woerth there was constant stream o.
wagons bringing down the wounded
men, Prussians and Bavarians, Turcos
and Frenchmen Of line. They bore the
misery of theroad in equal silence. |,
was rare to hear cry, though the poor
fellows faces showed much pain. They
were sadder sight in their blood
stained bandage, than the men who lay
quietly on the hill sides Woerth itself
was mere hospital, and all the in,
| habitants were either nursing the
wounded or burying the dead. 1t was
an evil fate for picturesque little place
that more than 100000 men on one
/ side and the other should Lave settled
their quarrel so near at hand. Ol
I coming movements / must not say a
word. The events Of yesterday was the
capture of the little fortress of Leuish-
tenburg, where large amount Of milf
tarv stores are reported to have been
captured The assailants fired heavily
into the place, and we heard their guns
booming all yesterday forenoon.
The Worlds London special, says; We
have no account Of the the French
victory at the crossing Of the Moselle
but the Emperor official dispatch.
There are rumors, though, tonight,
that the Prusslans have suffered seri-
Gus defeat, with enormous losses, and
have been driven back to the river.
These do not come from the French
Government, which maniiests singu-
lar indifference TO the public opinion,
probably in consequence Of the mill
tary character impressed upon it by its
head, Count Of Palikao.
Disturbances in Paris have not been
renewed, but there are continual rumors,
traceable mainly to the stock exchange,
of republican demonstrations. From
Madrid there are more authentic intima-
tions OF a republican outbreaks, and
there is no doubt that Italy is threat
eued with immediate trouble. The
Projects of Seienne, Arizzo and Ancona
have telegraphed to Florence for troops
1t il denied that Mazzina has be ar
rested in Palermo.
General Riola has been sent on a
secret mission to Rome.
Berlin newspapers loudly assert their
belief that if the Prussians defeat the
French and reach Paris, no serious de-
fense..of the city can be made.
LONDON, August l1.-Last evening
the garrison at Strasburg made sortie
toward Onyard, but were driven back
with Il heavy loss OF men. They also
lost three guns.
The rumor that the Empress Eugene
has applied to the Belgian Government
for permission to traverse that country
on her way to England is confirmed.
BREsT, August 1.-THE steamship
Villa de Paris, of the general trans
Atlantic line, arrived here from New
York at o'clock last evening.
PARIS, August lin view Of the
public impatience to know the result of
the late battle, the Constitutional this
morning publishes an article saying
that the brave generals now risking
their lives in defense Of their country
cannot, while thus engaged, know all
the results gained, besides the more in
considerate, in view Of the operations
so multiplied and complicated, to give
partial details. which might prove to be
premature. We engage that the citi-
zens will await the result with conf
dencc. The government will be faithful
TO its promise, end will communicate
Immediately all the news that comes to
it. II will be more than ever prompl
on this occasion.
Other Paris journals nave articles
similar in tone.
LONDON, August 1.-THE growing
unpopularity of the Emperor at Paris is
altogether due TO his interference with
the army instead OF leaving il 10 the
command of military experts
The Post says the telegraph wires
have been cut in the rear OF the Prus-
slams. The French are chary in their
news at present. Fighting seems to be
good for week, without q decisive
result. The French are ready to fight
till the end. Paris thus far is unadvised
of any reyerses. II the Prussians ap-
proach Paris a revolution is inevitable.
The Times says the Emperor now
knows how grossly he has been misled
as to the war establishment and how the
public money has been misguided as to
the anti-Prussian feeling in Hanover,
Bavaria, Saxony, &c
1t is said that boxes containing Ma
poleons private property arrived at
Madrid Similar stories are tele-
graphed here from various points in
Belgium.
PARIS, August 1.-The Minister Of
War has received news from the army,
which continued to carry out the move
ment combined after the fight Of
Sunday. Two divisions of the enemy
sought to intercept their march and were
repulsed. The Emperor is at Chalons
organizing the troops The main army
is concentrated at Etoin twelve miles
east of Nerdun. =,
NEW YORK, August If. Gail
lardit telegraphs to the Courier Dts
Etats Uais that the battles Of Sunday
and Monday were both fought between
Metz and Verdun; that these attacks,
however, did not check the retreat.
On the contrary, the Prussians sus'
tained so severe a reverse that they
were compelled to halt on their ricto'
rious march from the Moselle. He
adds that this check will enable Gen
eral Trochu to re-organize his new
army at Chalons, already numbering
100000 men. He complains that the
Paris authorities do not, however cor
firm all this news.
