PRANCE.

PAms,,April 10.

In yesterday's ?sitting of the Senate, M. Bruet-
\Villiaumez endeavoured to show that the French
armaments were not excessive. M. Michel Che-
valier regretted the great Europeon armaments, for
which he held the Sovereigns responsible.

M. Rouland refuted M. Chevalier's statements,
and approved the measures taken for the defence
of France. Ile said that perfect union existed
between France and the Emperor. Ilis speech
was loudly cheered. Marshal Niel said that
the present footing -of the army was suited
for a time of peace. The present budget as
it stands, and the budget to come in 1870, were
both peace budgets, and it was the most imperative
duty of the Government to secure the safety of the
country. The
number of men drafted for actual
service amounted on the Ist of March to 330,000,
whereas formerly it reached as high a figure as
400,000 men. Marshal Niel, in conclusion, said
"The army could, if circumstances demanded such
a step, rapidly pass from a peace to a war footing."

pored with, the bottom forced out,
and the money ab-
stracted. She called out to her husband our money is
gone, the cash-box is broken open" Mr. Cohen imme-
diately seized the girl, who had her hand in her bosom
