two general officers and an escort of cavalry.
It is supposed he was removed owing to the
danger which might ensue from the rapid
movements before the great battle about to
be fought. The Prince will remain al
Avesnes some days to recover from slight
illness produced by the emotion conse-
quent on the events he has gone through.
At Lille the officials and citizens are deter
mined to man and vigorously defend the
walls. The same spirit is shown at Avesnes,
Cambrai, Douai, Dunkerque, Valenciennes,
and Gravalines, where the memories OF
1892 are reyiving."
NAVAL ENGAGEMENT AT DANTZIC. I
BY telegraph TO the Tribune.
LONDON, September 1.-The special cor.
respondent Of the Tribune at Hamburg re-
ports on Tuesday. 30th, g three French
iron-clads and dispatch boat were dis
covered off Dantzic at noon on the 21st re-
connoitering the defences, but keeping out
miles out. About midnight the Prussian
200-horse power left the harbor silently,
with no lights, and reached unperceived a
position within 1900 yards of the French
feet. She stopped, delivered port broad
side, then starboad, and had started to re-
tire six minutes before the French answered.
They fired wide and began chase, but
the Nymphe reached Saarburg safely. The
damage to the enemy is unknown. Several
shells exploded on the decks Of the IRON
clads. One of the iron-clads was missing
the next morning. 1t is supposed that she
went away for repairs. On the same day
the whole fleet left. This affair will be
probably the, basis Of q fresh story that
DantZic was bombarded and the German
fleet destroyed.
"The entrance of the river Oder was
finally closed on the 25th. Ships are sunk
as well as torpedoes along the coast. The
commerce of Germany by blockade amounts
to million of dollars a day. The official
paper of North Germany, the Allgemeine
Zeatung, replies 'That is just so much
added indemnity which France must pay
"The reported capture of the German cor
vette Hertha (2s guns, engines 4Oo.horse
power), off Alexandria, is false. The Her
tina is in Japan"

LONDON, Thursday, September 1, 1870
Whether the battles OF Beaumont and Carlg-
nan were fought on the same day or sue
cessive days seems doubtful !; but the result
is not doubtful. MacMahon has been
caught with his army astride the Meuse, at
tackled by superior forces on both sides, and
beaten. he was already attempting to re-
treat, but finding the enemy on his flank
and threatening his communications, under
an apparently hot Prussian pursuit, Mac
Mahon could only fall back. on Sedan; the
tugitiyes from the other battle accompany
inS him, navigable river dividing his
forces. thick woods being on his right, and
the Belgian frontier few miles of.
Strong detaChments were expected from
the Crown Prince near Rheims to complete
fhe environment of Mac Mahon's remaining
forces. The French threatened. The Ger
mans wasted no time, but attacked where
ever they could reach the enemy. The
country above Etain and Verdun is filled
with troops. The Crown Prince OF Saxony
held the right bank Of the Meusee while
three Saxon and Bayarian corps advanced
on Buzancy. 80 ,,-,--.-,..-..---.

fined exclusively to cattle and live stock Six
weeks ago the rate was 800 per car to New

cattle from $40 to 81 per car, and the Central

Buffalo, 81 per car; hogs $44 per car and sheep
