The Government has posted up a notice saying that everything is happening as General Trochu wished it.

Not a word is said about Ducrot's failure.

The _Liberte_, which gives a guarded account of what really took place, has been torn to pieces on the Boulevards.

I have just been talking with an officer on the headquarters staff.

He tells me that Trochu is still outside, very much cast down, but determined to make a desperate effort to retrieve matters to-morrow.
We have received to-day some English newspapers, and you may imagine how far behind the age we are from the fact that we learn for the first time that Prince Gortschakoff has put his finger into the pie.
