TUB WAIt. Till IHOKNINU'M DESPATCHES. ANOTHER SKIRMISH AND A TRUSSIAN VICTORY THE FRENCH DRIVEN FROM THEIR CAMPS WITH GREAT LOSS A FRENCH GENERAL KILLED AND A PRUSSIAN GENERAL WOUNDED. Strasbourg, Aug. 4. Yesterday, after the council of war, Marshal McMahon, with the chief of staff, General Coulson, surveyed the Rhino from Kehl bridge upward. They visited Brumuth, twenty miles north of here, vthere tho cavalry division and part of the first division of infantry are encamped. From their movements it is conjectured that McMahon, with the African army, is about to cross the Rhine and pass rapidly by way of CarlsTuhe and Heidelberg to Frankfort, and that thence ho will endeavor to cut the rail road communicating between Berlin and the Rhine. It is believed he will leave Mayence on his left, while bis main army passes on through the lower Rhine provinces to Mayence and Coblentz. The forward movement, it is ru mored, is fixed for Saturday. It is reported that the Prussians are gathered in force to the south, and that the Baden force i i 'i the Black Forest. London, Aug. 4 Special to New York Tribune, The correspondent of the Tribune telegraphs from the Prussian headquarters as follows: "The Crown Princo's army has stormed Weissonberg. The troops of the f,th and 11th Prussian army corps, reinforced by the 2d Bavarian corps, engaged General Douay s division of McManon h corps. "The French were driven on th held, and the Prussians now occupy the French camp. Several hundred French soldiers were cap tured. The Prussian loss was considerable. "No movements are announoed from the army ot tne lxower itnine. ine an air at Saarbruck is regarded hero as wholly unim portant. The Prussians at no time contem plated holding that town in force. The Inbunea correspondent at (Joblentz, writing on Tuesday, Bays: "The Prussians are in milch greater force on the banks of the Saar and Moselle than is generally supposed, and hence they do not intend to fall back on Mayence or Mannheim, but will hold the French in check lrom bierck to Lauterburg. One proof is that long trains of provision wagons stretch from here to Treves, and the ambulance trains with them aro in much too great force for a mere affair of outposts. ".Moreover, tne large square, tne 'Uooientz riatz,'. is covered with peasants' wagon laden with bread and biscuit, moving west. Treves is now the headquarters of the 8th Army Corps, lhe Prussian wagon and am bulance service is better organized and their horses are in Letter condition than those of the French. The soldiers are in admirable spirits. Their enthusiasm is less noisy than that of the enemy, but their quiet Confidence is far preferable to such effervescence as I recently witnessed on the other Bide. "Coblentz is full of landwehr, there being but few troops of the line there. The forti fications are being rapidly strengthened, and are being filled in readiness for an attack. All commanding points about the great fort ress, the occupation of which would render it indefensible against modern artillery, are now strongly fortified, and earthworks are rapidly being constructed toward the French side. Carlbruhe, Aug. 4. (Special to New York Herald.) Latest: The Prussian victory at Weissenburg was decisive, lhe troops en gaged were two regiments of the 5th and 11th Prussian Army Corps and the 2d Army Corps of Bavaria, led by the Crown Prince in person. Tbe French force consisted of General Douay's division of McMahon's corps. Weis- senberg and Geishill, in the rear of that town, were carried by storm at the point of the bayonet, after an obstinate resistance. The general wno commanded tne rrenon in the absence of Douay was killed, with two officers of his stan. The French encampment, one piece of artillery, and five hundred wounded prison ers, including many Torcos, fell into the hands of the Prussians. On the German side General Eirchboch was wounded. Tne urenaaier uuaras ana 50th Regiment suffered severely. MARINE TELEGRAPH. For additional Marin Neuit $e Writ Pagt. ALMANAC FOR PHILADELPHIA. Til 18 DAT.
