The most important of the Paris sallies reported this week
was a reconnaissance on the 13th (Thursday week) to the south of Paris, towards Chatillon, where the Mobiles of the Cote d'Or carried two barricades at Chatillon at the point of the bayonet and entered Bagneux, when, the Prussians appearing in great numbers on the plain, the party, according to previous orders it is said, retired, but after inflicting so much loss that the Prussians applied the next day (Friday, 14th) for a truce to bury the dead. It is also stated that on Tuesday, 18th, the Prussians twice endeavoured to carry the redoubt of Hautes Bruyeres, near Villejuif, and were twice repulsed. The second time the attack was made in great force, and was not repulsed till after three hours' hard fighting. Of course, we shall have no notice of this from Versailles. The in- tention seems to have been to obtain a good point from which to attack Fort Issy, one of the weakest of the forts.
