THE LATE EXPRESS RoBBERY.-St. Louis,
August 27.-The following are the particu-
lars Of the robbery of the United States eX-
press car on the Mississippi road yesterday
morning: Shortly after the train left Scott's
station two rough-looking men hastily en-
tered the car from the rear platform. They
were dressed in dark clothes, and their
faces We're concealed by calico masks. In q
moment, comprehending their design, the
messenger rose to resist them. They de-
manded the keys of the safe in which the
money was deposited, and seized him. He
struggled with them desperately, but they
forced him down on the floor. In the course
OF the struggle he was struck repeatedly on
the head and face, one blow, it is feared,
brcaking-the bridge of his nose. Having
bound him to Il heavy chest, they rumaged
his pockets until the key of the safe was
found, and then proceeded to possess them
selves of the money. Having robbed the
safe, as they thought, thoroughly. they
locked it again, and threw the key behind
some boxes in the car, where it was found.
1t is stated that one package, containing
S., 900 in greenbacks, was left behind, hay
ing been overlooked. Trains are not gene
rally run at a fast rate between SCOTS STA
ton and Jefferson City, and the robbers
succeeded in jumping of safely.

| New YORK, August 90. "A special to the
Sun from Arlon, Ufd Brussels, says that Jne
Prussians arc making flank movement on
! Mach ahon; that MacMahon occupies the
!, line from Rethelto Stenay, leaning on Me
Zieres, Sedan, and Montmedy, with the
Belgian boundary behind him. The Prns-
sian army, which was marching on Paris,
deployed from Stenay to Troyes, and have
| changed the direction Of their march; in
stead of going west, are going north. The
| troops arriving at Troyes march in the di-
rection Of Romilly those around Chaions,
in the direction of Snippes those between
Stenay and Verenns, in the direction of
Rethel by Grand Prize and VausieEes while
q strong force is ut Dun, observing MacMa-
hons left at Stenay. Meanwhile strong
Prussian columns are advancing from Lune-
vile and Joinville to St. Dizier, where the
King was reported to be yesterday.
PLANS OF THE PRUssIANs.
1t is the manifest intention of the Prus-
slams to destroy MacMahon as they de-
stroyed Bazaine, and then turn their atten-
ton to Paris. The great battle will GER
tainly occur soon between Rethel and Mont
medy. = '1.<-

aeMahon and Bazaine were in commune
