THE SAN DOMINGO EXPEDITION.

Tho Friaate Tennessee 60 sail from New
York Direct TO san Domingo on Monday
Nexts
Contrary to expectations the frigate Tennessee
was not ready yesterday TO leave the New York
Navy Yard, TO proceed TO an anchorage off the
Battery 10 take on board her powder. 10 the
afternoon, however, an official board of officers
inspected the frigate throughout and pro-
nounced ber in every way properly fitted out
and equipped for sea- The engines of the ship
have been tried at the dock, aud found to work
smoothly and satisfactorily, considering every
thing
With eight boilers under a full pressure of
steam, it is expected that the engines can be
made to work up TO thirty revolutions minute,
which ought to give a speed to the ship, under
favorable circumstances, of from eight to niue
knots an hour. Under sail and steam the ship
is expected to perform wonders, or at least TO
knock off twelve to fourteen knots an hour. 1t
will require six to eight days for the Tennessee
to sail from New York to Samana bay, under
favorable circumstances.
The proposed visit of the ship 70 Hampton
Roads has been relinquished, In consequence of
the loss of time involved in trip out of a direct
couEse to San Domingo. As now contemplated,
the ship will sail with the commissioners on
Monday next, and will make straight wake
for the island. The commissioners are expected
from Washington on Sunday morning, and will
be on board the Tennessee before two o'clock in
the afternoon, ready to pack their baggage away
before the ship feels the heavy swells of the
Atlantic.
swarm of civilians are to accompany the
Commission in various capacities, and many of
them will be obliged to essay the perilous feat
of lodging in a swinging hammock.

The Ba ute of LIE Mans-FulI aud Graphic Par
ticuiars.
LIE MANS, Jan. acknowledgement to the
New York Telegram. 1.-The Army of the Loire,
the hope of France, has been defeated in
bloody battle within seven miles OF the city.
The report of cannon was-heard in the city all
day. The entire population Of LIE Mans crowded
the housetops and suburbs of the city and all
thoroughfares, and the progress of the fight was
anxiously watched.
Although the people are accustomed to the
roar of cannon, Il ere never was seen such
excitement. At o'clock in the morning the
right wing of the French army, which was on
the east of LIE Mans, weresuddenly attacked by
the vanguard of Prussans which emerged from
the woods on the extreme right Of the Flench.
Upon the alarm being given the advance of
the French infantry wheeled into line of battle,
the artillery pushing forward through inte-vc!s
made in several ranks. The cavalry took posi-
tions upon the right and left wings. more
perfect line Of battle could not have been
formed by the finest army.
The artillery we're well supplied with ammu-
milton and the infantry with one hundred rounds
per man. The supply trains were conveniently
posted, and real bloody work began. The
battlefield was valley. The two armies occu-
pied heights opposite each other. The French
line was semi circular, and extended twelve
miles, overlooking the valley, which was cov-
cred with twelve inches of snow. On the OPP
posite heights the Prusslans held almost SINH
lar position.
Shortly after 0 o'clock the Prussians began
furious cannonade from the woods, near the
extreme left, fanked by an immense force of
cavalry, the wood concealng their position,
when the troops were massed with the evident
intention of turning Chanzy's position. The
artillery fire continued on both sides until the
ammunition of the Prussian artillery was almost
exhausted, when the Prussians became furious
and gave the order for the advance of the In
fantry.
The French advanced with equal rapidity
along the whole line to meet the Germans in a
fair hand to hand musketry fight. The Germans
were cool and collected; the French impetuous
and behaving bravely, but near noon the Mo-
biles began to waver, and the French, no longer
able to hold their position, began to retreat.
Meanwhile the dead and wounded strewed the
ground, and the fields were red with blood. The
carnage was fearful fifteen thousand French
having fallen before 5 o'clock, when the whole
French army was in full retreat
The number of troops engaged on each side
numbered sixty thousand.
General Chanzy is reported sick, but he Ii
still in command, and 1t is expected another
battle will occur tomorrow.

Ansther Feshterien Fanx Pas-He Refuses to
Under the heading Gan Unmtigated Outrage by
Charles Fechter," the Boston Traveller OF last even
ing has the following editorial artiele:-
Some weeks ago we endeayored, until we could no
longer help it, TO keep all reference to the quarres
at the Globe Theatre out OF the columns OF the ira
pelLeT, and when sent for by Mr, Fechter on the
quested 20 publish his statement of the troubles in
tins paper, we begged him to keep out OF print ON
the ground that newspaper quarrel would only
munity; but, with an unyieding obstinancy en-
trey characteristic OF the man, he refused listen
TO reason, and 30 went before the public.
We had hoped that for his own sake after this Mr..
Fechter would have kept himself within bounds,
at least nave assumed virtue which it would
appear he Is not really possessed OF. For the
annoySnces in the way Of the % propTietdT Ro'y Of
the theatre, al tending TO impair bis efforts
evening next and IN this respect has shown petty
harTOwness and jealousy unworthy OF a man who
makes his boasts that all he does is for the inte-
rest OF art and tue elevation OF hts brother artissy
These annoyauces eliminated this morning by
Mr.. Fechter, acting as we suppose under his pre-
use OF the stage for rehearsal OF As you IKE IT,
threatening that II the stage was used for such
purpose he would not act tonight ana this refusal
OF the stage was made at time when the stage was
not needed for any other purpose when there were
no rehearsals OF any OF Mr. Fechtefs pieces, aud
when the OF the stage would In way interfere
with any OF the arrangements OF the soe manager"
This action on the part OF Mr.. Fechter Is as con-
temptuous as IL s unmanly and uncaled for, and
takes Its rise IN jealousy against Mr.. James w.
Wallack Mr.. Fechter has declared that Mr.. Wal
lack shall not set foot on the stage during his
management, and, In return for ali the kindness
shown HIM by MT cheney, he attempts TO hamper
him IN his endeavOrs 70 serve the public and actu-
ally prevents Mr.. Cheney from controlling his own
property In his own way Mr.. Fechter has taken a
step in which he can be In no way justified and we
believe II this insult-for 1t can be nothing
ess-to the entire community hsd been known be-
fore II O'Clock to-day, there could have been found
at the Music Hall no person insane enough TO have
paid seveny-ye dollars premium Iof Tickets TO the
Fecheer testimonial tomorrow night.
Mr.. Feehter has no right 10 throw an OBSTACLE In
the way OF artists In the performance OF their duty
10 the public and fer his action In this matter he n
entitled only TO the hearty contempt OF the entire
community. Happily for the best Interests OF the
dramatic ART In Boston, the Globe Theatre viii con-
tinue 70 nOurish when the memory OF Mr.. Charles
Feehter VIII have passed from mems minds.

The General Am.ss.yI,sssSrn s. ,.sss. S5 gsbans to
HAVANA, Jan. THE question of universal
amnesty forms at present undercurrent of
interest and excitement here. AS reported, so
sweeping and general In Its character is this
amnesty to be- that all Cubans now in foreign
countries viii be permitted to return, and their
property restored to them on giving in their
allegiance to the Government; while those in the
field will be psrdoned without exception upon
laying down their arms.
As unlikely as this may seem, there Is much
reason to believe that this is the intention. 1t
js certain that Valmaseda is the only man living
who can do this; but so great is his popularity
among the Spaniards and confidence In his
patriotism they will quietly submit to anything
he may determine. AT the same time he is
especially anxious TO rid himself of the charges
of cruelty preferred against him, aud no better
way to accomplish this could be undertaken.
On the 9th meeting of the more prominent
Spaniards was called at the Palace, and rumor
was at once rife that it referred to the amnesty
question. IL turned out, however, to be for the
purpose of discussing the stamp tax recently
imposed, and which falls in the most incon-
venient and o1erous manner upon the mer-
chants, and which at the same time imposes
duties on officials which it is utterly impracti-
cable for them to perform.
Valmaseda has forwarded the following des-
patch to the Colonial Minister, under date of
The 3D.
In the name of the royal people OF the island OF
hll its corporations. OF the aray, navy and voun-
Jteers, request your EXcelency TO felicitate his
Serene Hlghness the King, and tender him our re-
spect and homage.
Three days of holiday were decreed here on
account of the arrival In Madrid of the King,
commencing on the 4th. Salutes were fired,
and the houses and streets bedecked with
bunting.
A. letter from Cienfuegos states deposit of

quence. The owner, General Garcevan, is im-
