| Splendid Sortie, on Thursday.
Tours, Oct. ia splendid fight took
place at Baglsux and Chsttillon, whence
the enemy was dislodged during recon-
noisance of our forces. The enemy sus-
tanned considerable losses. The Mobiles
of the Departments of Coledor and Aube
behaved handsomely. Gen. Dampiere,
commander of the Aube Mobiles, was
killed at the head of his command. The
Prussian batteries were dismounted. At
dusk our troops withdrew TO their lines
in admirable order. According to pre-
concerted plan, the soldiers in Fort Mont
rouge covered the retreat. The firing
from Forts Montrouge and De Vauyes
was most telling. The Chateau of st.
Cloud was destroyed by the fire.
| Startling Rumor from OrIeans-The
whole Prussfan Force Surrender.
Tours, Oct. Is, Evening. Rumors
from Orleans are startling. 1t is assured
that the Prussians there, who are known
to have been in large force have sur
rendered to the French with all their
| artillery. The French forces are con-
| tinually increasing. The government
authorities have given the public nothing
from Orleans for day or two. The
messengers sent forward by the Associated
Press agency two days ago, have not yet
| returned. There is much anxiety to hear
official news.
Pub Doc. ~
On the 9Th inst the Government sent a
circular to the representatives in other
countries, refuting by historical proof the
argument made by Count Bismarck that
liberal France had ever desired conquest,
or ever worked against German unity.
Another circular, dated the 10th inst,
asserts that the pretensions of Prussia
would reduce France to q second-rate
power The circular dwells upon the
fact that Prussia's announcement of her
readiness to lombard Paris was prema-
ture. .--.

1t is said here that the Prince Napoleon
was engaged In the affair of calling Gen.
Bourbaki to London, but the good sense
of the latter got the better of the Princes
intrigues. The General confirmed the

condition of Marshal Bazaine's army.
Metz and the surrounding country were
well supplied with fresh food.
