it is a sortie of about 30,000 men sent to dislodge the
enemy from the heights. The short duration of the
engagement makes me think that it has not been suc-
cessful"

The artillerymen in the Paris forts are very prodigal of
their ammunition. They fire away on the smallest provo-
cation. Yet each shot fired from their guns using the
great conical shells must cost at least £l2.

A Versailles letter in the Cologne Gazette says that the
Paris sewers had been provided with petroleum and even
torpedoes, placed at suitable spots, in order to annihilate
the storming Germans; but on the approach of the bom-
bardment they have become alive to the frightful danger
of such explosive machines to the defenders themselves,
and General Trochu has directed the hasty removal of all
destructive substances. Are the Germans quite sure that
they have been removed ? The order of General Trochu
may be one of those blinds which the Germans themselves
frequently employ.

The Paris papers are driven to great straits through the
scarcity of paper. Some consist of a single page, printed
on silk paper, copies of which, with the title and margin
cut off in order to make them as light as possible, are
despatched by balloon post, and occasionally reach their
subscribers. The Gaulois, which prior to the siege was a
broadside of four pages, is now reduced to the size of a
sheet of notepaper, almost as light as a feather. It is
lithographed on one side, the writing being so minute as
to be almost illegible. But these difficulties do not
matter much, for these journals never contain any news.
The Figaro is the most lying paper in all France. It
may even aspire to the distinction of being in this respect
the first in the world. Some of the Imperialist papers were
not bad ; the late Palikao Government was pretty fair ; but
the excellence of the Figaro's mendacity is unapproach-
able. Day by day has this paper, which is published in
Paris, given fine accounts of what was happening in the
provinces, when nobody else in the capital , not even the Min
sters, could obtain so much as a scrap of information about
events beyond the German lines. The Government asked
M. Villemessant, the editor, where all these good things
came from. They (the Government) would be happy to
get a supply of news in the same way. One of the staff of
the journal declared that he got news from the provinces
through a certain railway guard, who was in the habit of
passing the Prussian lines. On further inquiry it was
found that no such guard existed, and the Figaro has in
consequence suffered public denunciation in the Official
Journal. Every body knew that the Figaro staff were
confirmed —, but they didn't like the Official Journat '
to publicly say so.
The Times correspondent notices the universality of th
change that has come over Paris. "It is not merely that
certain once fashionable spots like the Tuileries and the
Champs Elysees are now camps, that almost every open
space is filled with bodes of men drilling, and that every
third man is in some sort of military. uniform.
Scarcely anywhere is there an outward sign of
luxury or wealth to be seen. To talk of Paris
without glittering equipages and brilliant toilettes
sounds like a contradiction in terms, but now-a-days a
fine carriage or a handsome dress in the streets is almost a
curiosity, at once attracting attention, and inviting even
some risk of insult. The ladies go about in the very
quietest dresses, many of them in deep black, and not a
few with the ambulance badges—a large red cross on their
breasts."
