The Louvre and the Tuileries are burning; the insurgents having set them on fire as I understand. The Madeleine is being battered to pieces, the Ministère des Finances & the Cour des Comtes [Comptes] (that fine building on the Quai Voltaire) in flames.

Montmartre was carried yesterday at the point of the bayonet. The fighting was tremendous in the Champs Elysées, the Insurgents having a large battery erected at the Concorde end, xxx and the Versaillais another at the Arc de Triomphe.

In Paris however, they are being driven from steadily back into their last strongholds. I saw an Englishman last night who has charge of an ambulance in the Palais de l’Industrie. The shells kept dropping through the roof all night. –I received thy first dear letter last night ˆyesterday eveningˆ. It gave me such pleasure as did dear Baby’s.
