I am told that the marching battalions of the National Guard, now in the trenches, are doing their work better than was expected.

The generals in command are satisfied with them, but whether they will be of any great use for offensive operations, is a question yet to be solved.

The clubs still keep up their outcry for "La Commune," which they imagine will prove a panacea for every evil.

In the club of the Rue Arras last night, a speaker went a step still further, and demanded "the establishment of anarchy as the ruling power." Trochu is still either attacked, or feebly defended, in the newspapers.

The French are so accustomed to the State doing everything for them, that their ruler is made responsible for everything which goes wrong.
