The Prussans have evacuated all the forts on the
left and Montmarlre is armed TO the teeth and
pied by the National Guard. The Place st. Pierre
Is little artillery park, containing twenty five
pieces OF cannon. These cannon are pointing on
Paris and not towards the enemy. Tie discipline
and service carried on are more strict than they

government an explanation Of the matter and the

early start on Monday morning. They are
going TO Orleans and will march there,
taking three days to complete the journey.

completely taken up with the troops folding up their
