In the east the Army of General Werder fell upon

Garibaldi's forces near Pasques on Sunday, 27th November, and inflicted (according to the German account) a loss of 400 killed on his rear guard,—a very heavy loss for Garibaldi's small force,—something like an equivalent for Ricciotti Garibaldi's gallant capture of Chatillon-sur-Seine. On the other hand, on Wednesday, Novem- ber 30th, thirteen companies of Francs-tireurs and of the Gardes Mobiles of Beaune attacked two Prussian columns, aided by Prussian artillery, near Nuits, and gained a complete victory, taking fifteen prisoners, and strewing the roads, according to their own account, with the slain. Clearly the small engagements are becoming severe as well as the great.
