The Paris correspondent of the Inflipettdane, Baer
The language of the government organs is just now west
pacific. M. Bouher is reported to have said that a war
could not take place for a long time, and the Minister for

reception to-day. But the confidence of the goverum en t does
notcommunicate itself to the public,which persist, in the
lief that the negotiations are prolonged onbotb sides only for
the make of being more completely ready. The reply of a
distinguished person to a remark that a war for Luxem. burg would be " madness " is cited :—" Madness if yea

80,000 of the breech loaders now ready, and if they
are not more numerous, it is because experiments are being
made of a more deadly weapon which combines the prin-
ciple of the breech-loader and the revolver. Prince
Napoleon is, it is said, for immediate war. and
it is given out for certain that in the event
of war a thoroughly liberal ministry will be formed.

Mathilde last Sunday :—" Well, M. l'Amliaasadeur, shall
we have war!" " No." " Then, we shall have Luxem-
burg • " " You shall not have that either," was the reply
of the Prussian Minister.
