FRANCE.

PARIS. MOND/LT Mower:go.
In correction of the Urdu"' version of the last mi-
nisterial crisis, the Consei.ulioiinel makes the follow-

ing statement :
Several brigades of the army of Paris are composed of four
regiments, the usual command of a general of divieion. Gen.
d'Hautpool had formed the design of placing at the bead of
these brigades a general of division, each general of brigade
penitents his usual maenad. But these generals of divi-
sions were placed under the ordrn of Gen. Cnasprnier, who
continued to reside at the Tuileries. His commend was not
impaired in the lout by this measure, and remained quite as
c tusiderable as before. This design was tummy Jested by
Gen. dliautpoul to the President of the Republic, who re-
jected it. The projt et, being purelyadmiutttrauve, was never
submitted to the council of ministers. The retirement of
Gen. d'ileutpoul cLes cot therefore arise from the refusal of
his colleagues to join in the scheme mentioned by the Ordre,
.111 C• no scheme whatever was debated in council, nor did
the thought of such a scheme as that upon which such pre-
cise details are given, enter into the head of General
d'hiautpouL
The policy of the President in patching up a peace
with the parliamentary majority, and hauling down,
one after another, all those signals which have pro-
duced so much umbrage and irritation, is perhaps
traceable to a source which has not been yet indicated
or even suepected by those who point to this sudden
change of tactics as dictated by necessity and symp-
tomatic of defeat. In fact, if France is to undertake
the part of dragooniog Prussia into an abandonment
et her independent policy, and of the aims which she
has parent d with en much pertinacity either as regards
the Danish or the German question, it is perfectly clear
that the house at home must be settled and put in
decent order before anything like a firm front can be
shown on the Rhine. To-day it has been anntuucerd
that M. de Persigny is coming back immediately from
Berlin. Rumour adds that in the last interview with
Berm Schleinitz, the French envoy demanded his
passports. One unmistakeable symptom of the hostile
attitude assumed toward' Prussia is the very bitter
tone of the press of the Ripka in reference to that
power.
The note of M. de Radowita, published by the
Brpreu, has (Dawn from the Conattationnel on
article of extreme insolence against Prussia, and if we
are to look upon this organ as the most faithful inter-
preter of the policy of the President, not a doubt ma
remain as to the sentiments of hostility with which
the French government is inspired against the great
protestant German power. This article seems based
on .the monstrous hypothesis that the hundred
thousand square miles of German land, and the fifteen
millions of Germans standing thereupon, have no title
whatever to figure as a part of Germany. or to have a
voice in the direction of German affairs. If the object
of the conferences of London is to prevent war, cer-
tainly the tone adopted by the confidential organs of
the governments represented at thee' conferences
is est in the least in harmony with such
ma laterition. For, to spend the vocabulary of mum
dmn upon an erect and enlightened people, to mail
• gesetantent which worthily represents their tea-
deades sad needs with accusations of treachery, ire-
tx, cunning, violence, usurpation, is not the way
eetteribute towards a peaceful solution of a knotty
emi delicate question. The injurious aid abusive toss
assessed by the opponents of the policy of Prussia in the
Inglieh press is faithfully reproduced in this ankle
Or NM anstitutiorsast, which abounds besides in the
grossest misrepresentations. As an instance, I may
mention the statement that Prussia set up the per
tension to sign the treaty of July 2 for all Germany,
sad claimed to have the union considered as the ale
mri complete organ of the German confederatioe,
amsetions so notoriously at variance with the truth as
to need no circumstantial contradiction.
It is understood that the message of the President
will be, like that of the chief magistrate of the Uuited
States, a developed statement of the condition of
France in relation to the legislative measures destined
Ito occupy the Assembly. No allusion will be made
to the prolongation of the President's powers.
The Debate declares that to maintain the siestas gm
till IBS2 is the only solution possible.
The report that General Nenmayer, an officer high
in the confidence of General Chaugarnier, was about
to be replaced in his command, appears to be'con-
firmed. But this resolution was taken by the go-
vernment before the entrance of General Schramm
into the cabinet. It in however, added that a more
important command is destined for the displaced
geared.
The most important political fact of the day is the
decided adhesion of M. Dupont de.l'Eure to the policy
of abstinence front voting adopted by the democratic
