Show THE FIGHTING AT PARIS. There has been terrible fight for a few days past in the neighborhood of Peris, and south of that city some fifty miles in the valley of the Loire. The object of the French is to effect a junction junc-tion between the army of Paladines, which mast number over 200,000 men, and the hosts beleagured in Paris. To accomplish this a successful movement move-ment northward by Paladines and a tuccessful sortie from Paris by Trochu were necessary. These have been and probably are being attempted, with what success it is yet impossible to say. The Prussians claim that the French have been repulsed ; if so the French plans have for the present failed. The French eay Paladines has so far been successful success-ful in his advance on the Prussian lines. If so, that part of the French plan is still intact. Successful sorties from Paris are also reported, one by Djcrat, verging south-eastward over the Marne, aod one to the north reaching reach-ing towards St. Denis. The statement state-ment that Trochu had cut the German liues on the north with such force that they were driven from all their positions posi-tions in a general route, is evidently an exaf;j;watiou; and may have no more reliability than the recent rumor of the capitulation of Paris. It is difficult to arrivo at Tacts; only this appears eleur, that there has been tremendous lighting, that great loss has been cxperieuceu by both tides, und that the end of the war limy probably prob-ably hang upon the conflicts of u.1'-1 present week. |
