Recent happenings have served to
recall the old tales of what Paris had
during the terrible seige and lombard

Few cities have experienced such an

News of the defeat at the battle of
Sedan, September 1, 1870, was received
almost with stupefaction. Although the
government authorities may have

afternoon of the 3rd that the Empress
Eugene received the historic dispatch
from her husband. the Emperor Ma

The government authorities immedi-

The old ramparts are thirty-two feet
high with a parapet nineteen feet In
width, environed by a moat forty-eight
feet wide and a glacis; the approaches
to the capital are protected by six
teen forts at different distances from
the city.
Most Of the forts were entirely or
partially destroyed during the seige
and bombardments of 1870 and 1871,
but all have since been entirely re-
built and a second line of forts at
greater distance from the ramparts
have been constructed on the heights
commanding the valley of the Seine.
