| saliles, is daily expected. The Prussians
were yesterday attempting to erect
bridges over the Seine near Sewes, to be
used in case of q defeat, but have not
succeeded. Gen. Won Moltke seems
to find that the consequences of a sortie
would be extremely serious. Last night
the personal baggage of the King was all
| packed up in readiness for in
slant flight, and the same precautions
will be taken tonight. The Duke
of Mecklenburg has asked for further in
structions, saying he cannot hold his po-
sltiens in the face of the greater strength
of the Army of the Loire. Won MolIke
says no troops can possibly be spared
from the army around Paris, and that
the Duke must fall back until he meets
the army of Frederick Charles. A juno
ton is expected tonight between his ad-
vance and the Dukes rear at Rambouel-
let. TIE French troops occupy ing
Nantes, Sur Siene, Dreux and Verdun
are not portions of the Army of the
Loire, but detachments of Bourbaki's
Army of the North.
All this information admirably supple
ments the news received in London to-
day.
The Prussian dispatch announcing the
action of the 18th at Chateaudun and
Chatron Neuf was erroneous. Only one
action was fought that day at Chateandun,
where q severe engagement took place,
resulting at first in repulse of the French.
The Prussian cavalry were subsequently
checked by the arrival of the 22d Division.
This makes it clear that Gen. Deawals is
still moving with his right his left resting
on Orleans.
Great care is taken to conceal D'Au-
relies plans, but l state on high authority
that he is amusing the Duke of Mecklen-
burg with a portion of his army while
moving the bulk of his force, not less
than $50, 900 men, northward, to form
junction with Kerstry, coming from the
west, and with Bourbaki, coming from
the northeast. They will then move
quickly on Paris with the combined ar
mics, which will be under the command
of Gambetta and D'Aurelles.
Gen. Bourdski leaving behind him large
reserves, is moving forward with IS, 900
perfectly armed aud trained troops.
Kearaty has 10000. When those armies
effect d junction the number of troops
will not be less than 265, 600 besides their
reserves, aud 10000 of the army of the
Loire entrenched at Orleans and holding
the line extending north of Chateau, Dun
and Charles.
Part of Frederick Charles army has es-
tablished communication between the
Duke of Mecklenburg, between Elampes
and Fontainbleau. The whole force of
the former will probably effect junction
on the 23d. The united strength of his
force will then be 100, 900. TIE strategy
of De Aurelles has drawn them consider
ably south, where he will confront them
with an entrenched army of Inferior NUM-
bers, while with the main body of $685.
600 be moves on Versailles from the
west.
Won NoItke Changing ISIS Tactics.
LONDON, Nov. 2l-Special to the
World A special dispatch from Brussels
says there is every indication that Won
MOltke, anticipating a supreme effort by
TrOchu, and fearing the ability OF the
Germans to successfully resist a sortie in
force, has ordered an abandonment Of
the former plans Of the expeditions in the
West and Southwest of France, and the
concentration Of all forces in the imme-
date neighborhOod of Paris. Gen.
Manteuffel has been stopped in his march
toward Amicns and ordered to join the
army Of LaXons, investing the north of
Paris.

A telegram from Tours, dated thu 21st,
says all renters and German dispatches
purportiDg to give accounts Of movements
of the army of the Loire must be re-
Ceivel with disirust, as the former is i'll

mislead. The army of the Loire has
suffered no defeat nor even a repulse up
to this time. All its movements have
been successfully executed. Gen. DePal-
ladine keeps his secrets well. A deci-
siYe engagement is expected to take place

A WOrkmen's Riot

eve are perfectly Indifferent as to Rus
