THE BOMBARDMENT OF PARIS.

The bombardment of the forts of Paris still
goes on, and great damage has been done,
especially to lasy and Vauvres, which are so
battered that it has been deemed prudent to
withdraw their guns. Paris itself has been
bombarded—in act against which the Govern-
ment of Defence and the diplomatic body have
protested. Shells have been falling into such
portions of the devoted city as cin be reached,
day and night—especially at night. We read
of terrible scenes in bomb-stricken hospitals, of
public buildings and churches seriously injured,
of women and children killed in their own
houses, or in the streets by the destructive
missiles, and of the population taking refuge in
the cellars.. On Friday the siege guns opened
tire on St. Denis.
