In the Rue d'Enfer, just behind, there was a house which had been struck during the night, and close by there was a cantiniere, on her way to be buried, who had been killed by one.

At the garden of the Luxembourg and at the artesian well near the Invalides I heard of shells, but could not find out where they had struck.

As far as I can make out, the Prussians aim at the bastions, and occasionally, but rarely, at some public building.
Probably about 50 shells have been sent with malice prepense inside the town.

Just behind a bastion it is a little dangerous; but in Grenelle, Vaugirard, and Montrouge, the risk to each individual is not so great as it would be to go over a crowded crossing in London.

In these quarters I saw a few people moving away with their goods and chattels; but the population generally seemed rather pleased than otherwise with what was going on.
