PARIS, SUNDAE EVENING.

The Army Reorganisation Bill, after passing
through many transformations, none of them, how-
ever, materially affecting its vicious principle, has
met with a new impediment. The Council of State,
amending at the last moment the laborious work
of the committee, is understood to have insisted
that the Mobile National Guard shall be stationed
in the principal town of the arrondissement instead
of in that of the canton. The latter arrangement
proposed by the committee, would in some degree
have mitigated the inconvenience, and ex-
pense of that universal "militarism" upon
which the Emperor has, unhappily, set his
mind. The resistance of the committee has oozed
out like Bob Acres' courage. After all the fuss
they made about their independence, M. Schneider
has persuaded them to agree to an illusory promise
that the Corps Legislatiff shall vote the number of
the active contingent every year. But inasmuch
as they consent that the Emperor may always call
out the reserve by a simple decree, this check
amounts to nothing.
M. Balachanu, the representative of the Danubian
Principalities in Paris, has resigned, in consequence
of a serious difference with the Bratiano ministry,
both on financial matters and on the subject of the
substitution of Prussian for the French officers, to
whom the drilling of the Moldo-IVallachian army
has been hitherto confided.

The Pays publishes a letter of adhesion from the
students of Montpellier to the indignant address of
the students of Strasbourg, drawn up in answer to
an imaginary proclamation of the students of
Berlin, now known and admitted to have been a
forgery. The Strasbourg students—who, it must
be recollected, originally took the initiative of an
address to their German brethren, breathing peace
and fraternity—naturally fired up when they were
made to suppose that the Berlin lads had claimed
Alsatia and Lorraine. Ignoring the satisfactory
explanation that by taken place between the
colleges of Berlin and Strasbourg, the Pays
canvasses the students of France for more re-
futations of a non-existent proposition, and
says it will publish them all. The notable
reason it gives for encouraging demonstrations based
upon a mistake is, that they are " the first fruits
of public sentiments with which the policy of M.
de Bismarck will sooner or later have to reckon,
and sooner rather than later."

You will see from the latter words that Deputy
Cassagnac's paper tries, like M. de Guarding
Litrernf, to persuade the public that war is only ad-
journed, and that the work, the hard, the almost
miraculous work of the London Conference, will
have been in vain.
