The Prussians are evidently here firing at the viaduct which crosses the river.

From there I followed the ramparts as close as I could as far as Montrouge.

I heard of many shells which had fallen, but except at Point-du-Jour I did not myself either see any fall, or hear any whiz through the air.

I then went to the Observatory, where according to the _Soir_ the shells were falling very freely.

A citizen who was sweeping before the gate told me that he knew nothing about them.
