THE DECISIVE BATTLE TO BE
FOUGHT BEFORE CHALONS.

LONG DURATION.
I.
Capture of Fortress Marshal and '
Sixty Cannon.
CONFIRMATION OF TIIE PRUSSIAN !
•VICTORY BEFORE METZ.
Particulars of the Battle.
Loxdok, Aug. 1C.
It is believed ihat Marshal Razaine leaves
a strong garrison at Metz, and w ill fight the j
decisive battle of the war on the plains of
Champagne, before Chalons.
Despatches received here from Paris state
that serious apprehensions are felt that the
Prussians have cut of) McMahon’s communi
cation with Metz and prevented his retreat
on Chalons.
Metz is provisioned and othe'rwisu fully
prepared for a soige of long duration.
Sayerne, Aug. 10.
Fortress Marshal, a small town a little
north east of Nancy, 1ms been captured by a
body of Bavarian troops, after a short bom
bardment, and sixty cannon captured.
New York, Aug. 10.
A private despatch from London, dated at
10-3U A. M., c onfirms the French defeat,
with fearful loss in the late battle.
London, Aug. 15.
Our special correspondent telegraphs from
Luxembourg this aiternoon that the line to
Metz is again open. The fighting lasted from
tour until nine o'clock.
Our special from I.udn igsltafen writes on
Friday that the advance ot the southern army i
had arrived at liagenau. Two lieutenants
with a handful of cavalry entered the town
and rode through the streets. On reaching
the barracks they summoned the French to
surrender. Men instantly threw their Chas
st pots out of the windows, and in this man
ner a few cavalry held and captured 200
prisoners, 130 horses and lit wagons filled
with supplies. Since the battle of Weissett
bttrg numbers of prisoners leave been cap- :
tured daily. Many also hate tied to the,
woods and villages and were compelled front J
hunger to surrender. Thu country is ex
hausted and the population almost famished.
Great numbers of troops continue to ar
rive front all parts of Germany.
It is still considered uncertain whether the
Emperor or Marshal Bazaine commands. No
decree has yet made Bazaine Generalissimo.
Count Palikao's is equivocal. Nothing proves
that the Emperor may not at any moment re- :
appear at the head of the army. Chaugar- j
nter is in great favor, but no command lias
yet been assigned him.
Nothing is yet known of McMahon's posi
tion. and it is probable that he w ill be unable
to rejoin the army at a nearer point titan at
Chalons.
Later.
Berlin. Aug. 16. j
Late on Monday afternoon the first and i
seventh Prussian army corps attacked the j
French forces under the walls of Metz, and a
sanguinary conflict ensued. The French
were at length driven within the city, with
a loss of 4.000 men. tin the same day a t
grand reconnaissance finder King William in i
person, maintained itself some hours within
two lines of the French, without any effort
on the part of the French to dislodge them.
This shows utter demoralization of the
French.
London, Aug. 16.
The following details of an assault upott
Judge McCunn have been received here:
On Saturday during the celebration of
raising the seige, Londondcry Judge MeCunn
was on a visit to Coleraine, a few miles east
of Londondcry, and in the same county.
While at the railroad station accompanied by
two Priests, Mr. McKenna, one ot the editors
of the Belfast Star, and some other friends,
a mob of orangemen made an assault upon
him and his companions. McKenna was
roughly handled and others of the party hurt,
but the Judge managed to escape without
serious injury.
The Bavarians navo not r>een supplied
with the needle gun, but still use the old
percussion lock muzzle-loaders.
It is feared that McMahon’s Corps at and
around Strasbourg is entirely entofl from the
main body of the army.
The following items are extracted from the
French Official Bulletins:
The Prussians arc not in any great force
f before Strasbourg.
The town of Bitche still holds out against
the enemy.
The Hailway Bridge at Tcrgenpin, on the
' line between Strasbourg and Basle has been
destroyed by the enemy.
The stories of the arrival of the Empress
and Prince Imperial on English soil are re
peated to-day. but they are untrue. It is cer
tain that tin Prince Imperial is now in Paris.
The Telegraph’s Paris Correspo dent says
tlie French Chambers are unworthy of public
respect.
There is a growing and hitter feeling of hos
tility to Napoleon in Paris. This feeling is
now evinced towards tile Empress from the
recent Ministerial appointments. Cries of
| “Vive la Hepubliquc" are constantly heard
lrom all parts of the city, and from all classes
I of citizens.
Reliable information here reports that the
Emperor is in a very dejected state. His
melancholy now appears deep seated, and be
is constantly overheard repeating to hiuiscli
“On ma Coupe.”
Despatches from the Prussian Government
to the Prussian Ambassador here are full of
! triumph at the early result of the war.
I Experiments recently made with the Mi
traillcurs at Shacburgness indicate the instru
ment is a destructive one at close quarters,
but that troops dependent on it may be anni
hilated by artillory before the Mitrailleurs
cun be got in range.
The Times sympathizes strongly with the
Prussians, and rejoices at their recent »uc
j cess.
VlKSKA, Aug. 1G.
Barnn Von Bcust lias publicly denied any
attempt on bis part to medi ate on questions at
issue between France and Prussia.
Paris, Aug. 1G.
The Journal Official of to-day contains a
decree declaring the cities of Cherbourg, Lor
ient, Brest and Uochefort in a state of seige.
•
The French left two despatch boats in Ti
ber on evacuating Home.
An official despatch from the Prefect of
Metz to the Minister of the Interior, is pub
lished to-day. He says a body of German
Uhlans have been seen in the neighborhood of
Come rev, marching towards Hurledue, and
that he has therefore cut the railway in that
section to impede the advance of the enemy.
The French Journals complain of the brev
ity of the despatches from the seat of war.
Even the Constitutional Semi-official Organ
Says the despatches do not give very precise
ideas of the position of either army.
Algeria has been declared in a state of
Beige.
FROM BANGOR.
Baxcor, Aug. IS.
Democratic Convention.
The Democratic State Convention which
adjourned over from Portland, met here to
day, lion. E. F. Pillsbuiv in the chair. A
letter was received from Gen. Franklin
Smith declining a nomination. Gen. Clias.
W. Robert* of this city was then put in nom
ination for Governor, receiving all but two
uuKot G73 votes. Fite following resolutions
reported by the Committee ou resolutions j
were adopted.
Resolved, That the National Administra
tion has proved a failure; it has violated its ,
sacred pledges to the people; it promised
them economy and faithfulness in national !
affairs, but it lias given them extravagance
and corruption; it promised them a Republi
can form ot governmmt, but in many of the
stales it lias established a military despotism,
trying thereby to intimidate the people there
ot, and make them subservient to their
wicked rule.
iicamvcu, anal me orumnry expense oi
the general ami state governments are
swelled beyond all precedent and calculation
by the enormous increase ot the number and
salaries of their officers. In this we timl
glaring Evidence of the existence of a system
which is rapidly corrupting the public service,
robbing labor of the bread it has earned, and
endangering the liberties of the people.
Ilesolved, That the act passed by the last
legislature, which withdrew from the people
of all tlie several school districts iri tills State
tlie right to regulate the mode ol educating
their children as they might deem best, is
one of the many dangerous attempts to
abridge the rights of our citizens, and abro
gates a time-honored law and usage of this
State.
Ilesolved, That the tariff for protection is
mainly for the benefit of the weulthy and the
monopolists; that free trade is the right of
tile people.
Ilesolved, That we invite the thoughtful
consideration of the people of Maine, with
whom ship-building and freighting have herc
tolore been successful pur-uits, to the fact
that the seaboard ot Maine languishes and
daily grows poorer, because of vexations,
taxation, and the refusal of the Republican
Administration to afford adequate legislation.
Resolved, That while the Democratic party
