Now, considering that the crossing took place at Joinville, and that the river at that point is under the fire of three forts and two redoubts, it appears to me that General Trochu might as well take credit to himself for crossing the Seine opposite the Place de la Concorde.

I will say for the Government of to-day, that in any attempt to beat its predecessor in mendacity it had a hard task, but it has worked with a will, and completely succeeded.

The military attaches who are still here, consider that the French loss during the three days cannot be less than 10,000 in killed and wounded.

It is very unlikely that the Government will admit a loss of above 2,000 or 3,000.

That of the Prussians is, we are told, far larger than ours.
