Mont Valerien, and an attempt, real
or feigned, to throw bridges across
the Seine. A musketry fire was ex-
changed between the belligerents, on
opposite sides of the river and the
whole Prussiau force on the Penins-

on Monteretout, with infantry moving
up from Siunes, under cover of the
guns of the new outworks at Mont
Valerien. This attack commenced at

The Prusslans were vigorously
shelled, and de:achments of Gardes

Prussian field batteries and large
force of line infantry soon advanced
to the support of the Jsger compa-
