of the 2nd inst. that he intended to 
take up on that day, particularly 
on the heights of St. Cloud and 
Meudon ; but the gallantry of the 
Prussian troops, under General 
Ziethen, surmounted every ob- 
stacle, and they succeeded finally 
in establishing themselves on the 
heights of Meudon, and in the 
village of Issy. The French at- 
tacked them again in Issy, at 
three o'clock in the morning of 
the 3rd, but were repulsed with 
considerable loss; and finding 
that Paris was then open on its 
vulnerable side, that a communi- 
cation was opened between the 
two allied armies by a bridge 
which I had established at Argen- 
teuil, and that a British corps 
was likewise moving upon the 
left of the Seine, towards the 
Pont de Neuilly, the enemy sent 
to desire that the firing might 
cease on both sides of the Seine, 
with a view to the negociation, at 
the palace of St. Cloud, of a Mi- 
litary Convention between the 
armies, under which the French 
army should evacuate Paris, 
_ Officers accordingly met onboth 
sides at St. Cloud; and I enclose 
the copy of the Military Conven- 
tion which was agreed to last 
night, and which had been rati- 
fied by Marshal Prince Blucher 
and me, and by the Prince d’Eck- 
muhl on the part of the French 
army. 
‘This Convention decides all the 
military questions at this moment 
existing here, and touches no- 
thing political. 
General Lord Hill has marched - 
to take possession of the posts 
evacuated by agreement this day, 
and I propose to-morrow to take 
possession of Montmartre.
