battlefield near Paris was covered with projec-
tiles, tue debris Of bombs, mortar-shells, shat

Of the Prusslans, gathered on the heights OF Pere

from weil-known Frenchmen gave terrible &C.

and with tears In his eyes, that the duty OF Paris
was TO- Fight Stn fght Fight always !"
These valiant words, circulated throughout the
city, gave great encouragement to the citizens
