Franco-Prussian War. New YORK, Jan. lfi.â€"â€"-The Herald’s cor- respondent. writing from the headquarters of the second army of the Loire, at Le Mans, at midnight, on the llth inst., gives the following particulars of the second btatlc between Cauzy's forces and the German army under Prince Frederick Charles. He writes :-â€" “This has been one of the most eventful days in the history of France during the present war, and it is probable that one of the most eventful battles fought since the struggle began closed at. nightfall of this day. After the defeat of yesterday. Gen. Chauzy, displaying much energy, rallied his broken columns. and having been reinforced, determined to strike another blow to retrieve his fortunes, knowing that the whole hope of France centred upon the ability of his army to break through the strong,r opposition of the ‘Red’ Prince, and advance to the relief of Paris. After a night of unceasirg labor and anxiety, daylight found the French forces prepared for the conflict. Their army consisted of three corpsâ€"rthe 16th, 17th and fistâ€"respectfully under the com- mands of Admiral Jauicquibcrry, and Gen- erals Colomb and Joufl'roy. These corps averaged 50,000 men each, making an effec- tive force of 150,000 men, the whole. under the supreme control ofCen. Chauzey. By ten o’clock in the morning Jam-equi- bei'i‘y’s corps had taken a position on the right. bank of the river Huisne, General Colomb’s on the plateau of Auv0rs and Gen. J‘oufl'roy’s on the right. covering Britte. The Prussians advanced along: three roads and are‘ said to have been under the com- mand of Prince Frederick Charles himself, Soon after ' and apparently 100,000 strong. ten o’clock sharp firing was opened by the Prussians from well located batteries on the left'of the French. It was replied to with spirit, and very soon a large force of Ger man infantry, flanked by cavalry, advanced under cover of a heavy artillery fire,striking the right of Admiral Jaurequiberry’s post tifm. The assaulting column was met by a - fierce artillery fire from many guns, includ‘ ing a number of mitrailleuses of new pat- tern. The struggle now became exceedingly severe, and was well contested ; but although the Germans suffered heavy loss‘. they finally succeeded in drivingr back the French, cap turing early two guns and holding the im- portant position near the river. General Chauzy perceiving the danger which threat e‘iied his position, ineved his reserve of artillery to the suppert of Jaurequiberr; and then opened a terrific fire which checde for a while the further advance of the Ge:- mans in that direction. Two ortliree severe assaults were made by the Germans to secure further advantages, the object being to take the position held by the French at La Tillere. The French, however, were strongly posted and fought with great courage and deter- mination. Each assault was repulsed with serious loss to the Germans, the French also losing heavily. Meantime an equally fierce attack was made on the French line. covering the railroads to Chartres and Paris. After two hours’ desperate fighting the French centre was driven back. It. retreated, how ever, slowly and in good order, for a short distance only, to a position in the rear of that first occupied, where the rising ground afforded good facilities for the artillery. Here a heavy force of guns was parked, which, manned by the marines, opened a severe and well directed fire upon the ad- vancing enemy. This not only checked the Germans, but compelled them to fallback on the town. A heavy counter fire soon opened from the German batteries. which during the engagement had advanced to a commanding position on the left of the rail- road, and the superiority oftlie German guns soon became apparent, After an unequal duel the French fire slackenod, the Germans causingr great loss to the French lines. Still the French infantry triainl:iined.tlieir posir tiou heroically, and another attempt to dislodge them sigi ally failed. For some time the engagement had the character of an artillery duel; but when the German lines had taken the positions assigned them, a more active attack commenced, evidently with the object of cutting between the army and Le Mans and capturing a large number of prisoners. At 4 o'clock the tactics of the Germans seemed changed. A heavy massing of troops took place on the French right under the cover of the wood near the village of Britte, which was held by the French, The wood on the extreme left of the Prussian position, stretching for miles to the southeast of the plain between the road and the village, and was criniiiiandod by the Prussian artillery which was well posted on the left under cover of the wood. A sharp and precise needle gun fire was opened on the French line at Britta, not more than 700 yards distant. It soon became evident that it would be impossible for them to long hold the position unless the Germans were dis lodged. The heavy fire of the artillery directed on the woods had apparently but little effect. A large body of French in‘ fantry advanced in good order across the plain, but was compelled to retire \villi heavy losses under a murderous fire of both artillch and musketry. The contest for the possession of Brittc was kept up here until dark, when an order reached the French to fall back on Le Mans. The battle com- menced about one o’clock and reached its height on the left of the French. The day was not cold, but the ground was covered with eight inches of snow, which was fast melting under the hot sun. At an early hour the streets of Le Mans, not more than five miles from the field of battle, were filled with excited people and crowded with wag- gons and ammunition, the supplies all being ready to seek a place of safety in the rear in case of an unfavourable result of the fight. By noon I succeeded in securing a post at the front and reaching" the bluffs at the east of Le Mans. The French left wing passed out on the road with ammunition trains and artillery, apparently going backward and forward in what appeared to be disorder. Numerous groups of stragglers and some wounded were going to the rear. Ambu lances passed to and fro, some going to the front and others retirning with loads of wounded. Along the railroad every avail- able point was commanded by a strong force of infantry. The l’russians were less than a mile away and their balls occasionally reached us. At four o’clock in the day the Germans advanced by columns covered by artillery against Chateau des Chartres, a pretty place, which had been made the head- quarters of the French. Here, for the first. time, a French battery, hitherto reserved, opened fire, and appeared to take the Ge: mans by surprise. This caused the advance to waver, but. it was for only a moment. The Germans pressed forward and” attacked the French infantry, which occupied the terraced ioad below Gen. Clinuzy‘s position. It soon became evident that the French were unable to withstand the heavy charges of the enemy. About five o’clock an order was given for a backward movement. the French artillery centinuing their fire to cover this retreat. Gen. Chanzy actively superin- tended the retreat, which was effected in the most complete order. The French, at the time of this- rctreat, held some of the strong est positions, and it was generally believed that the result of the day’s fighting was not prevent-ably adverse to the French. Gen. Chauzy hope to renew the fight the next. day under more auspicious circumstances. Later in the evening an event occurred which made a change in the prospects ofthe French. After dark astrong force of Germans re newed the fight. A most important French position, La Teilerie, has endeavoured to be taken by immense masses of infantry and a large force of cavalry, who advanced rapidly scattering the French forces befores them. The French had not anticipated this attack, and the Mobiles of Brittany fled in disorder, 'taking with them all the French force. to the right flank of the river Huisne. and were compelled to make a rapid march on Le Mans. This uniform disaster may compel an evacuation of the city, if not an entire break up of Chauzy’s army. A Council of War is now in Session at Le Mans. Should the second army of the Loire be lost the French hope is gone.” Loxnos, Jan. l4.â€"Deapatehes from Ver- sailles state that Prince Frederick Charles announces that Geii.Chauzy’s army is broken up, disorganized and retreating in three directions- 20,000 prisoners have been taken. The battle was a decisive victory for the Prussians and a crushing defeat for the French. . LoNnoN, Jan. 16.â€"-â€"Gen. Cliauzy‘s army has been reorganized and is about to resume operations. The positions held by Cliauzy’s forces are' very strong. Boansnux, Jan. 16.â€"The Prussians have been dislodged from Gien, and are retreat- ing on Montargis and Orleans. Gen. Clinuzy reports minor engagements with the advance guards of the enemy yes- terday, and he expects a general attack to day. ‘ The intelligence of most importanCc from he seat of war this morning, is that Bis- marck is dangerously ill; and that Bourbo- ki is marching towards and is now expected at Paris, with an army to the relief of that city. There is evidently more dissatisfac- tion within Paris. Several republicans are in favor of using Greek fire against the Prussians, but Trochu will not hear of this atrocity. There is also an accusation brought against Trochu, that he said there is no longer any use defending the city, and that the enemy might march in whenever they pleased but this is denied. A large quantity of arms are being shipped to France from the United States.~.Telegraph, Thursday. Marshal Bazaine’s wife has given birth to a son at Cassel.

The following is the resolution and Mr. Graham’s speech on the subject : Mr. Lount moved ’the resolution of which he had given notice, calling for the publication of the evidence taken before the Select Committee of the House, respecting the Huron and Ontario Ship Canal. In offering the resolution be reminded the House of the nature of the information taken on the. subject; before the Board of Works, and contended that the interests of Ontario would be well served by the publication of the evidence. He feared that the Canal Commission, that had been ap- pointed by the Dominion Government, would not sufficiently promote the inter- ests of Ontario in this respect, and it was, therefore, very dcm'rablc to have the evidence printed for publication. Mr. Grahame (I ork) seconded the resolution. He said, in seconding the motion of the lion. member for North Simcoe, I am to do so on account of the very great importance of the question before the House. It has alreadyduring every session, been brought prominently forward by those who approve of such a scheme, who have determined to leave no stone unturned, notwitstanding the opposition which has been shown to it, towards bringing the question in a tangi. blc shape before the people of the coun? try. The merits of the scheme have been so fully discussed already in this House that it will be quite unnecessary for me to go over the same ground again. However, what we mainly desire now is the opportunity, by the printing of this report, to let the people see in what posi- tion the r-rn'cetAii'Pv - ‘ its diIIicu tiesfits advantages, so that they may have a fair opportunity to judge for themselves as to its ndvisibility, and to act upon their judgment in this respect at, the next general election in returning representatives pro and con. So far as the canal is concerned. I do not intend to take up the time of the House at any length in discussing the question. Theie are, however, one or two matters to which [would refer, which have ocâ€" curred since the recent debates on this subject in former sessions. In the first place, schemes which were characterized by able engineers as extremely chimeri- cal, much more so than has ever been asserted against this scheme by its most violent opponents, have been undertaken, and, in one instance, accomplished, and, so far as capital is concerned, they are all of a gigantic nature in that respect. I refer to the Suez Canal, the Isthmus of Corinth Canal, the Panama Canal, and the Baltic and German Ocean Canal. As I said before, the first. of these is an accomplished fact, notwithstanding a decision declaring it impossible that. it could be constructed by Robert Stephenâ€" sonâ€"one of the greatest, if not the greatâ€" est, of English engineers. ‘Then, as to the second of these schemes, the contract has been entered into, between the Greek Government and a. European Company, for the construction of the canal within six years. The principle, too, has been conceded in an old European country like Greece of giving aid in the shape of lands and control over government min- erals within a certain distance of~the work; and, as to cutting, in this instance, there is a depth of 25'.) feet to be over- come, as against 190 in the Huron and Ontario scheme. In this instance. also, it. should be borne in mind that; the pro- ‘ jcct is undertaken simply to avoid going round a small peninsular on the Medi- terranean. We have the Panama Canal, undertaken by an American company, which, I suppose, will be completed within the next ten years, and which has been pronounced as altogether visionary since the Darien scheme, until the last few days ~â€"and, lastly, we have the pro jcctcd Baltic and German Ocean Canal. to be constructed by the Prussian Gov- ernment, through the southern portion of old Denmark. The last, however, is interrupted in consequence of the Euro- pean war in which she is engaged. Now, Slt‘, in view of these facts, if these vast ' canals which have been heretofore looked upon as visionary and impossible, is it to be wondered that the promoters of the scheme, which I am advocating, wish to have all the knowledge possibltbconcern- ing it: disseminated among the people in the mo:t legitimate and fairest wayâ€" viz: by parliamentary report. As the London Times of last summer says:â€" “ The times are strangely changed since Horace described the ocean as essentially a dissociating element. Our modern dlggmgs- Pl‘eSIdem Brandy 0f the Free \ discoveries have converted it into an in- State, has protested against, the appoint- ment of any British Magistrate there, and sent a. protest to England. valuable means of enterprise. It insures .1 . (1., a mutual change of thought and products. We may occasionally wish, therefore, to bridge a channel, but the characteristic engineering work of the day promises to on Monday, the 16th inst. be the multiplication of channels.” And, sir, this reference to the multiplication of channels leads me to refer to other works ofa similar nature to this canal in our immediate neighborhood. I allude to the Erie and Ontario Canal scheme as one of these which is going to be a very import-ant channel for the transporâ€" tation of products from the far west to the Atlantic seaboard, and far from these canals being antagonism, from their mul- tiplicity. they will be sources of mutual assistance as tending to, divert traffic which goes at present by other and more costly channels to the great European mart for all products, such as by railroad transportatioh and by the Mississippi river. And they all have this great tendency of developing the resources of new and unsettled countries, wliich,with- out this mode of transportation, would never have the inducement. to grow the products of the soil in such abundance as to attempt to compete with other more favored localities in this respect. For ‘ the same reason I should wish to see the enlargement of the Welland Canal, tne construction of the Ottawa route, and, in fact, the realization of the hope that we may have in this country also a mul- tiplicity of channels to the seaboard. I would therefore hope that the good sense of the House will grant the purport of the resolution, as it. is only in accord- ance with the justice that is meted out to all matters pertaining to the welfare of the country, that information should be afforded to the people, for it is they who have the right to decide so that they may be able to form a competent. judg- ment on the merits of the case. In conclusion, Mr. Graham referred to the ,importance of this work toward bringing the various parts of the empire more closely together, and hoped that no ob- stacles would be thrown in the way of its accomplishment. RUIISDELL’S NORWAY Oarsâ€"Mn J. M. Davis, of our village, has shown us a sample of an exceedingly large and prolific oat. Last winter, when on a New York, Mr. Davis’ attention was drawn to what is called Ruinsdell’s Nor- way Oals. They were recommended to him as being a superior sample and for yielding twice or in some cases three times more than any other kind. Mr. Davis purchased a small supply and sowed about. one-fifth of an acre in his garden and the return has been most satisfactoryâ€"being twenty-two bushels. He likewise had some sowed on the farm of Mr. Robert Marsh, and the yield in this instance was most: gratifyingâ€"~pot withstanding the prevalance of the great wind storms of last summer. 'vf W‘Uf’t‘hosc oats is from 12 inches to 18 inches. Mr. Davis claims for these oats: 1st. That they soil and with the same culture. 2nd. :1. larger berry and thinner hull, which able for feeding. richest soil and rendering it less liable to 4th. That it will grow and produce a profit- will not grow to maturity. 6th. It re~ ample for an acre.

It is expected that by April next every British soldier in India will have a. Snider rifle. ‘ The Court Journal understands that the Royal marriage will take place early in March. The revisron of nearly one-half of the Gospel of St. Matthew has now been con. cluded. Forty-five deaths have now resulted from the late explosion at Messrs. Ludlows's fac- tory, near Birmingham. The Prince of Wales has accepted the Presidentsliip of the Royal Agricultural So- ciety of Ireland for 1871. Mr. Brassey, the great railway contrac. tor, was worth about nine millions sterling at his deathâ€"the greatest fortune ever amassed by a sin'gle‘individual. The Encyclical excommunicating the Italian Government is addressed to the whole body of Catholic Bishops throughout the world, and bears the date of the 1st of November. _ U By the compromise arrived at in the Egan will ease, Cardinal Cullen comes into pos- session of about £300,000 for charities, the heiratlaw getting £5,000, and the- other parties £6,500. The affairs of the Duke ofNewcastle (says the “Sporting Gazette") have now been satisfactorily settled. An offer of 53. in the pound has, it is understood, been accepted by the creditors. In preportion to the popular, Great Brit- ain has a smaller army. than most of the third-rate monarchies of Europe. Even the thrifty Dutch keep on foot one soldier for every 59 of the population, while Great Britain has only one soldier for every 195 of its inhabitants. TORONTO MARKETS. Toronto, Jan. 19. 1871.
