recent engagements,of course, have been
on but a small scale, still they have in-
variably resulted to the advantage of the
French. The bombardment has not yet
commenced, nor is it likely that the
Prussians will be in a position to open
fire for some time to come, The Prus-
sian battalions were surprised at Bag-
neaux, near the Fort of Mont Rouge, be-
/tween Chatillon and the road to Orleans,
and after a furious attack by the Mobile
Guards, repulsed with heavy losses,
their position having been carried at the
| point of the bayonet. They lost 3,000
;men, and were obliged to request an
jarmistice of forty-eight hours to bury
their dead. The French troops effected
'a suecessful reconnoissance, completely
i dislodging the enemy, and dismantling

fect. After an hour of this nnequal
work, closer quarters were come to, and
a most murderous fire was sustained by
both sides, during which the forsign re-
giment greatly distinguished itself by
repeated bayonet charges, in which they
took five pieces of cannon, Bat they
were overmatched by the dogged resist-
ance which the enemy opposed to these
brilliant efforts. While the French were
burning their cartridges as fast as they
could load, a steady, killing fire made
fearful havoc among the foreign regi-
ment. In two honrs’ time, this brave
corps, which, as I have said, arrived
1,500 strong on the field, was reduced
to 34 men. Next came the tarn of the
French cavalry, who had suffered se-
verely the day before. General Reyan
gave the word of command, and a squad-

lyon of 400 dragoons rushed into the

dense mass of smoke and dust in front
ofthem, In another ten minutes they
were forced back in great disorder, and
and never drew bridle till they got back
to Orleans, where they created a panic.
All was now over; cannon and every-
thing had to be left ou the field; and to
cover the retreat the Pontifical Zouaves
made a magnificent charge. They ad-
vanced in a compact mass, and for a
quarter of an hour they kept the enemy
at bay. Such heroism is unique in the
war, Of the 300 only 18 survived. The
day was lost to the French, but a had
been a combat of giants, foreht out to
the last with the most desperate deter
mination, At six o’clock the Prassian
entered Orleans, by three different
gates, with the bands playing the ** Na-
tional Anthem.” Cannon were set or
the bridge, and the National Guard were
relieved of their chassepots. There is
aramor that the inhabitants made a vio-
lent opposition to the occupation, and
barricaded the streets; it is, however..

i their batteries. About the same time a

victorious encounter took place atEcouis

the Holy Father to the merey of the | when the enemy were compelled to re-
ivavening wolves who had followed the | treat on Gisors, although they were su-
lie Imontese iito Rome, tears of bitter-

perior in numbers to the French. Near
Epinal, the Frane-Tireurs checked the
passage of the Prussian artillery and
cavalry, inflicting on them considerable
‘loss.. The combat lasted three hours.
/In the forest of Fontainbleau, near La
Table du Roi, the Franes-Tireurs attack-
ed some Wirtemburg cavalry, killed
several, and pursued the remainder as
far as Melan,*where the Wirtembarg
garrison, seized with a panic, quitted
the barracks precipitately, leaving their
stores behind. Strong Prussian re-
connoissances were repulsed in the

engagement, and also at St. Laurent.
It is reported that the garrison of Ver-
dun, in a recent sortie, put 800 of the
‘enemy hors de combat, and that threé
days afterwards they attempted an as-
sault, but failed, and lost 1,800 men.
|Indeed the l'vench troops have abund-
lantly proved that there is in them the
' material wherewith to organize victor-
‘ies, but there is a lamentable lack of

lable generals in the army of France,|

iwhich at no period of its previous his-
| tory—and it is a history of brilliant sue-
| cesses—was without some master-mind
‘to shape its destinies to a glorious issue,

chance of conciliation is desperate. The
mob of journalism sings and sings again
that Pius the Niuth is inclined to yield,
Itis an im-|
padent calumny. It calumniates Car-
dinal “Antonelli, representing him as fa-
vorable to conciliatory measures. It
calumniates the desuits, stating that
they are the cause of Pius the Ninth’s
stubborness. ‘The real truth is, that the
Iloly Father is not disposed to make, |
nor will he ever inake, avy concessions, |
because he ‘cannot,’ he ‘ouglt’ not, and
he ‘will’ not. This being the state of
