The same order was sent to the Gare aux Boeufs, and by ten o'clock the troops to the south of Paris had fallen back to the positions they occupied the previous evening.

General Vinoy, during the engagement, was with his staff on the bridge which crosses the Seine near Charenton.

A battalion of National Guards were drawn up near him.

A chance shell took off the legs of one of these heroes, his comrades fled in dismay--they were rallied and brought back with difficulty.

A little later they were engaged in cooking their food, when some tin pans fell against each other.
