Evidence: | 'On the Road bought an Extraordinary which was published this morning, the English Mail having arrived in the night. There was terrible news of the Civil War in Paris, of the murder of the Archbishop, two other clergymen & 64 hostages by the Insurgents & of the fearful retaliation of the troops, 30,000 of the Reds being said to be killed or wounded in the Streets. Some of the finest buildings in Paris were wilfully set fire to by the insurgents & women were shot by the infuriated soldiers while they were like fiends rushing about endeavouring to set light to anything that could be consumed' |
