There had been a heavy firing, it was said, this morning, and a Prussian force had approached near the forts of Ivry and Bicetre.
General Vinoy had issued forth from Vincennes, and, getting behind them, had forced them under the guns of the forts, where they were taken prisoners.

The Boulevards immediately were crowded; here a person announcing that he had a despatch from the front, here another vowing he had been there himself.

Wherever a drum was heard there was a cry of "Here come the prisoners!" Tired of this, at about 4 o'clock I drove to Montrouge.

It is a sort of Parisian Southwark.

I found all the inhabitants lining the streets, waiting, too, for news.
