"HE FRENCH TWENTIETH CORPS BEATEN NEAR ORLEANS. In the reconnottering near Orleans yesterday the Tenth Prussian corps encountered the Twenticth French corps of General de Paladines’ army. An engagement occurred, in which the French were @riven from their strong position at Ladon Mazieres ‘With serious loss. 4 FRENCH GENERAL CAPTURED, Subsequently several French companies attacked the Prussian Tenth corps, but were repulsed with a loss of forty. A French general was taken prisoner by the Prussians. The German loss was trifling, The Battle Field on the Loire. In the brief despatch announcing the defeat of the Germans by the Army of the Loire no mention is made of the place or places where the battle was fought. This general engagement, if one has been fought, took place yesterday, the despatch announc- ing % as ‘in progress,” although it somewhat incon- sistently concludes with a report that the Germang were routed, which they could not be U the buttle ‘was still progressing. The engagement of the day previous (Sunday), between the Prussian Tenth corps and the French Twentieth corps, could not have beem a very con- siderable affair, It is reported as having been fought at Ladon and Maziéres; but the name given for the last named place is evidently intended fer Mignéres, a small town situated in the arrondiase- ment of Montargis, afew miles northwest ef that Place. Laaon is also inthe same arrondissement, ome nine miles from Montargis. Both places are more than twenty-eight miles distant frem Orleans, and conseguently the scene of the engagement was ‘mot 60 near the city as the despatch implies, unless the places referred to are others of which we have no knowledge.

Lonpon, Nov. 26—2:30 P, M, ‘The following important despatch has just been received here:— Tours, Nov. 28—Forenoon, A battle occurred yesterday between Villers and Salenx, near Amiens, in the vepartment of Somme, which lasted all day, The French maintained their positions up tu half-past four tn the afternoon, when the town of Villers was abandoned before the supe- rior forces and artillery of the Prussians, The French were sub-eqaently beaten at Boves, a few miles west of Villers, but at Dury maintained their Positions until nightfall.

Mo- reull, where tbe French are reported to have gained @ great victory, is one of the principal towns in the arrondissement of Montdidier, in the Department of Somme. It contains about three thousand tnhabi- tants and ts situated on the bank of eriver aure | The Battlefields Near Orleans and Amiens—-Location of Ladon. Migneres, Moreuil, Villers-Bretonneux, Boves, Dury and Salevx, and twelve miles southeast of Amiens. Near by are the ruins of an ancient abbey and those of an old chateau, The manufacture of hosiery, paper, & 0. forms the principal industry of the people. 4 secend despatch, dated trom Tours, locates the scené of the battle at # point between Villers ana Saleux. This is quite improbable, as the first named Place is situated some ten miles east southeast of Amiens, while Saleux is not more than four miles nearly due west of the city. Amiens, being directly between the twe places, it will be seen that no bat- tle could have been fought near Saleux. In the department of Somme there are several places whose names begin or end with Villers, but there ts no place of that name al i directly north of Amiens, and Quovauvillers, to the southwest, with Saleux between the two, but at neither of these places ceuld the battle have been fought, The place referred to as having been abandoned by the Germans must have been Villers- Brevonneux, @ considerable town in the arrondisse- ment of Amiens, some ten miles southeast of Amiens and ebout the same distance north of Moreuil, This would locate the scene of the first engagement between Moreull and Villers-Breton- neux, which we think will prove the case, | We are confident the battle was frat fougnt here; because'the despatch apeaks of the French having been subsequently beaten at Boves, a village con- taining some eighteen hundred inhabitants and situ- ated on the river Aure, six miles southeast of Amtens, forming the apex ef a triangle com- prising Moreuil, Viliers-Bretonneux and Boves. As Boves stands in the rear of the other places men- | Woned and nearer to Amiens it would be naturally the } point on. which the French would fall back. Beaten iheré, thelr next stand would be at Dury, ® small village, five miles due south of Amiens, from whence itis quite ‘likely that their line of batue ex- tended to Saléux, To make the despatches intelligible we must con- clude that the battle began betweem Moreuil and Villers-Bretonneux, which latter place the French were compelied to abandon before the heavy ar- tillery fire of the Prussians. This retrograde move- ment necossitated the abandonment of Moreuil, when the French forces retreated to Boves, a few miles in the rear, where they attempted to make @ stand, and where they were beaten. Instead of falling back into Amiens they seem to have moved by their right flank to Dury, a small town, situated about one mile west-northwest of Boves, where they succeeded in making a stand and in repulsing the Germans, It is likely that the engagement was not confined to Dury, but extended to Saleux, distant four miles to the northwest, The London despatoh is either an exaggeration or the Tours report is incorrect, If the French won a great victory at Moreuil, which lasted till nightfall, there most positively could have been no fighting at Dury till dark. Of the two despatches that from Tours 1s evidently the most reliable, and should be so regarded in the absence of the de- tails of the engagement. DEFEAT OF GARIBALDIANS. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Operations in the ‘Vosgee—Defeat of Garl- baldians near Pasques—A Disorderly Flight—Another Defeat near Plombicres. Lonpon, Nov, 28, 1870, ‘The followigg details of an engagement between the Prussians, under General Werder, and the French, under General Garibaldi, near Pasques, in the Department of Vosges, have Just been received here, dated Dijon yesterday afternoon:— GARIBALDIANS BEATEN NEAR PASQUES. The Garibaldians while on their march from Pas- ques late Saturday afternoon suddenly came upon the outposts of the Prussian rifles, which they im- mediately attacked with great impetuosity. The Prussians were at first compelled to fall back; but, reinforcements coming up, the Garibalaians were in turn repulsed with great disorder, the soldiers throwing away thelr arms and knapsacks in their flight. ANOTHER DEFEAT NEAR PLOMBIERES, General Werder the next day (Sunday) took a cir- cuit around Plombieres, and in this way overtook the French rearguard. Another engagement then occurred, in which the French lost 360 in killed and wounded, and the Prussians only 50. It is sald that Menotti Garibaldi had 2,000 men under his command in this engagement, The Garibaldian Battle Field. Plombieres, near where the Garibaldians were de- feated on Saturday and Sunday, is a village of 1,700 Inhabitants, situated on the river Angronne, in the arrondissement of Remiremont, in the Department of Vosges, fourteen miles south of Epinal, It is fa- mous for its warm mineral baths, which are said to be curatives for various diseases, THE SITUATION AT PARIS.

The correspondent writes:—Another carrier pigeon, blood stained and weary, has arrived.

When the Intelligence was made known oMelally to the Parisians the popular excitement was most intense. A gentleman arrived ot the Grand Café with acopy of the proclamation. He jumped on a chair and read it aloud to the company. When he concluded his hearers appeared at first to be stunned by the receipt of good news, they have been accustomed for such a length of time to hear nothing but tales of disaster. The reading of the despatch was listened to in breathless silence until the gentleman reached the very last word, ‘when the pent-up feeling of the crowd burst forth in a torrent of joyful applause, Both customers ana waiters, with the several members of the extemporized audience, rushed from the café and hurriea off in different directions bear- ing the glad tidings to their friends. PROCLAMATION FROM TROCHU—IN THR matD suo INSIDE THE FORTIFICATIONS. General Trochu this morning (14vh tostant) issued ® significant proclamation which combined the statement that General Vinoy 18 now about to com- mence his campaign in reality. This raised the again drooping spirits of the Parisians. ‘The circular is addressed to the “Citizens of Paris, the National Guard and So‘diers of the Garde Mobile.” The paper goes on, at very considerable length, to the following effect:—The attitude of Parts makes the astonishment ef Europe. The enemy has been surprised. He is kept for a space of two months before the capital by the exertions of the population of Paris alone, which had not been thought capable of such a power of resistance, Prussia accepted the demands of the government for an armistice, but the fatal day of the 31st of October ‘at Metz compromised the position so that communt- cation with the provinces from the city was inter- rupted, The enemy tried to discourage the besiegers by creating here disscnsions, They circulated false reports, which were eriginated at the German ont- Posts and printed in the German newspapers, The Garde Nationale has been increased to five fold its number.

It would be unworthy of France, after having pre- pared energetically for any and every sacrifice, not to go still further and suffer in the struggle to the lagt extreme. If successful we will ‘deserve well of our country;’’ “if we have to succumb eventually we will do so with honor.”” The proclamation closes with enthusiastic ap- Peals to the patriotism of the Parisians, THE SUPPLY OF FOOD, Food grows scarce in the city. It is reported, however, that the government is merely restricting the use of the supplies which are on hand in order to insure @ more protracted resistance to the siege. It 18 said that there are much larger reserves of food in the city than what fs generally belleved. 1 ‘was assured by a prominent member of the govern- ment to-day that the provisions now in the city will last, with care, to the latter end of the month of January. DISSATISF}ED WITH THE CITY COMMANDERS. There is a still increasing feeling of dissatisfaction entertained against the leaders of the army in Paris, on the ground of their failure to prevent by sharp sortics the completion of the rapidly increasing works, offensive and defensive, of the Prussian besiegers. The Parisians fail to comprehend why there is no active fighting, when each passing day evidently renders the iron cage of the city stronger and still more impossible to break. . TO FIGHT ON, It 18 stated with @ great degree of confidence that preparations are being made for the execution of a great sortie against the enemy; but I have reason to believe that it will only be undertaken in the event of a success of tae Army of the Loire or some other of the relieving forces of France.

The long ac- quired and well earned fame of Mrs. Scott- Siddons had prepared us for the success so easily won by that iady’s grace and beauty in the touching part of Ophelia, and we had anticipated the applause showered upon her fine rendering of the love color quy and the mad scene in the fourth act; but not even Ue abundant praises bestowed upon the Intel- Jeetual and personel advantages of Mr. Walter Montgomery had given us any full warrant of his triwiaph in the imposing rdie of Hamiet. ‘fo that artist the chicf honors of the evening legitimately belonged.

WALLACK’S THEATRE.—A pretty fair audience of the usual intelligent calibre always to be found at Wallack’s was present last night. The play was Robertson’s rather milk and watery comedy of “Caste,” and there was as much made of it by the jadies =and = genticmen’ who undertook the several parts a3 might be expected. What merit there is im this piece to render it a favorite 1s a mystery, The story 1s exceedingly commonplace, the dialogue 13 as thin and poor as the language of a child’s storybook, and if @ touch of sentiment warms up any portion of the play, it is 80 forced as to robit of all the delicate sensivility which ordinarily moves an audience. At Wallack’s, where “the very pink and choice of legitimate drama _—jinds congenial home; where Goldsmith reigns at times, and Sheridan commanis the attention of intellig: audiences, such works as “Caste,” which only ce: to be a weak comedy when it ee itself into a ve, should—we say it with kindness to the management—be excluded.
