McMAHON’S REP‘ BATTLE OF Wo Lopvom, Aug. 13.—An abstract of McMahon's report of the battle of Worth, or Froschwiler says that on the 6th the enemy attacked the heights of Gueredorf, opening with cannon and rifles. The attack was so violent that at first the division was compelled to change front. Soon the Prussians made a feint from the right bank of the Saar, followed at noon by the re newal of the attack on the right wing. Charge of cavalry and infantry failed to dislodge the enemy, and at 4o’clock the French right was broken, and a retreat upon Saverne and Nie- derbrun became a necessity. OPINIONS OF THE ENGLISH PAPERS. The Saturday Review refrains from specula- tions on the war, because, it says, a few days must determine the fate of France and the Emperor. Probably the army will take matters in its own hands, choose a leader and fight out the war. ‘The Spectator thinks the next battle must de- cide the fate of the Empire, as popular faith in the Emperor is vanishing. THE PRINCE IMPERIAL WITH THE EMPEROR. ‘The Post, in contradicting the evening papere of yesterday, asserts that the Prince Imperial is with the Emperor. THE PRUSSIAN POSITION. The Prussians hold Pfalsburg and adjoining passages of the Vosges. The garrison of the town of Bitsche coasisted of three hundred of the Garde Mobile. Prussian cavalry are before Luneville.

Saw Fraxcieco, August 12.—The printer's strike has ended fn a disastrous defeat of the strikers. The Typographical Union to-day adopted 60 cents per 1,000 ems, the rate pre- railing before the strike, for composition on work in the day time, and 65 cents for compo- sition on the Morning News. The papers miso amended the rules as to permit members of the union to work in offices where non-members are employed. The result is more emphatic because the printers’ combination was so fermidable as to compel immediate surrender on the part of every newspaper in the State with the excep- tion of the Daily Bulletin and Daily Call. The Cartin. were somewhat injared in the affray, and both of the negroes pierced with the pitchforks, one of them quite seriousty, in the intestines. Warrants against the usgroce were placed in the hands of an oticer on Sun day last. but the negroes having taken refuge inthe District of Columbia, were beyond his reach for the present.
