THE FRENCH NATIONAL AMEMBLY.

In Friday's sitting of the Assembly a protest
against the annexation of Alsace and Lorraine
to Germany, signed by the deputies of those
provinces, was presented, and M. Keller urged
his colleagues to oppose, by their decision, moral
to mere brute force, and to proclaim the invio-
Lability of the clnuexion with Alsace and Lor-
raine. M. fliers counselled wisdom in the dis-
cussion of the question. lie shared the feelings
of M. Koller, who presented the protest ; but
in presence of the grave circumstances in which
the country was placed it was, he said, the duty
of the i louse to adopt the only decision becom-
ing its dignity. Moderate language like this
as a virtual protest in favour of peace. The
sitting was then suspended, and M. Keller's
proposal was shelved by handing it over to the
persons who are to negotiate the terms of peace
the Asserably haring dexterously avoided any
expression of opinion.
There is every evideuee that a miderate and common

EAST DOILIES FOXIIOUNDS.—The event of the week
here has been the meet of this noted pack at Motcombe
House. Two previous appointments were made, but
frost intervened, and prevented them coming off. On
Wednesday last, housed., the weather being al that
could be wished for, the lovers of the chase assembled
shortly before eleven o'clock at Motoombe House, to
the number of 300, the majority of them in the costume
of the hunt. There was a considerable number of
farmers present, and alto Shastonians. The hunt was
preceded by a splendid breakfast, which was given by
the Dowager Marchioness of Westminster. Bread and
cheese and ale were also to be had ad Maga by the
spectators. Shortly before twelve the bounds were
laid on in a cover near the house, and the glad sound of
" Tally ho, hark away" resounded. Old Reynard
took the direction of Brickell's Cliff, and asoended
the steep hill by the Flag Staff, end hied away to
King Settles, in the covers of which he no doubt
in,ent to hide from his pursuers. In vain, however,
He wee obliged to alter his tactics, and be came
the double-shuffle several times in his efforts to get
back to the plate whence he earns. At length he. tired
out, decended from King Settles into &coley Hollow,
and for a short time took a " breather," lying in the
rood. After refreshing himself by • drink of water
from • ou-trut, he aseended the bank into a field ad-
joining Mr. Brown's farm-house, where he met his
daub pluckily, showing fight to the two foremost of
the hounds. Lady Theodors,lwho rides well to Gros-
venor hounds, wee up at the finish, and received the
trophy of the chase, poor Reynard's brush. The peek,
after this, were taken to King's Court, and thrown into
the covers. They soon found another stout fox, who
made good running, and headed away for Knoyle, scrods
• line of very stiff country, which brought many of the
horsemen to grief. After a run of about an hour, the
hounds lost scent in Carnidge Wood, and Reynard lives
to afford sport for another day. The party being now
in the South Wilts country, did not draw again. Thus
ended a most enjoyable day, and such • meet as this
has not taken place in this neighbourhood for years
past. Amongst those present were the Lady Theodora
, Grosvenor, Lord Arundell of Wardouroseveral members
'of toe Glyn family. the Hons. W. H. B. and E.

TUE ARMISTICE.

V ERNA I Li.zs, leb. 19.—The Monitcur of
Versailles says "a prolongation of the Armistice
would only injure the position of the German
armies. France knows the conditions of peaoe,
which are compensation for the past and
guarantees for the future, and Germany is
reselved to continuo the war if these conditions
are rejected. Let Bordeaux understand there is
no middle term," Referring to preparations for
continuing the war reported from the South,
the Moniteur observes that Germany must insist
all the more on guarantees, especially those to
be procured by an occupation of Paris. No food
is allowed to lease Versailles.

BERLIN, Feb.-18.—Thu prolongation of the
Armistice was only accorded in return for the
surrender of Belfort, which was ordered by the
French Government.

letters of several of the membersorllhe National
Assembly, are that Peace is desired, but that if
the Prussian conditions should prove too ouerous
they will do their duty. France is wear), but
not crushed. _ _ .

The question of the entry of the Prussian
army into Paris is adjourned, M. Jules Favre
has declared to Count Bismarck, in the name
of the officers and soldiers of the French army,
that they would prefer to be sent to Germany
rather than be present at such a sight.

the necessity of providing at once for the conduct
of the negotiations and the affairs of the Govern-
ment, while awaiting the decision of France upon
the institution to be definitively adopted, M.
Thiers is appointed chief of the Executive power
of the French Republic, which he will exercise
under the control of the Assembly and with
assistance of Ministers whom ho will choose, and
and over whom he will preside.'
'• Lord Lyons further states that he has an-
nounced verbally to M. Thiers the recognition of
