scripts OF the second portion Of the contingent
Of 1886 the second the entire ofthe transcription fer
1889 Royal ordinances, dated the 18th ult., open
credits for increasing the effective force OF the navy
by 10000 stamen, ships Of the lne IL frgates, and
. steamers
The number of soldiers which the two ordinances
hrst above mentioned called into service was esti
mated in Paris ct 100 O0O. The addition to the
valry regiments which these ordinances necessarily
contemplate, were calculated at $4,000 men. 10
mount these soldiers it was said to be the intention
OF government to seize upon the horses of the gen
darmes throughout the kingdom. and to pay for them
(each gendarme being the proprietor OF his
horsel at the rate Of 800 francs E32) each.
The first effect OF these ordinances upon the funds
was unfavorable A reaction subsequently, took
place, it will be seen and stocks recovered If
private correspondent be well informed, says the
Times, further improve ment may be expected, for
he asserts, that although much hurt by the pro-
ceedings of Lord Palmerston (who has all the ere

it wsud appear that the most s,nguine in their hopes
that war will be averted were compelled TO admit
that chance might defeat the ntestions Of his Ma
jesty, and involve the world ia hostility. The mi

those Of Friday The Debats abstans altogether

Among the miner incidents connected with this

exists at present. My object is not TO discuss the
question. l merely attempt to re;eat in general
terms the substance Of conversations which, think,
express the public sentiment.
The Moniteur publishes only half sheet this
mornng, and would, in all probability, have APP
peared at ALL but for the necessity Of correcting the
statements and impressions abroad, with regard to
the panic of Tuesday. According to this offic la ac
count, number Of young men at nine o'clock in the
morning, went from the quarter Of the School Of Me-
deine, towards the Bourse, where it was joined by
a second party and that thus reinforced, amounting
in number to 1900 2000 they all proceeded to the
Boulevards, singing the Marsellaise Hymn, and
shouting g Vive le Reforme." Having attempted
to Join the procession, they were prevented without
the necessity of force being used such is the Mo-
nteur's accountable opinion abroad is OF much
more alarming character. The panic created was,
indeed very terrible, although no evil results fol-
lowed The llumnations and fireworks last nil ht
were of the most brilliant description. There was
no attempt at disturbance in any quarter.

further fall Of franc upon the per cents. War il
in every persons mouth, and M.'Thiers appears 10
have lost popularity. The cry is that he has been
jockeyed. 1t is said that his pride will now
induce him to force matters to extremities. The
French say that they are sighted, and that they
shall not be ai.ro0ted with impunity-that they de-
fy the whole world, etc etc. In Short the Bourse
is ringing with war; and the belief that it is newt
able, is the vaing opinion. NJ Theirs to main

The violent agitation produced in Paris on the
subject Of the Eastern convention may prove trou-
bes to allay if still encouraged An attempt at
political manifestation was made on Wednesday
by some 1000 young men walking in procession,
singing the Marseillaisc, and shouting "Vive Ia
Re:orine." The opinion gathers ground that demon
strations may shortly be expected Of q much more
alarming character.
TIE B,urse ON Thursday, says our own CORE
sponcent, was in state Of the greatest excitement,
increased by the rumour thai official order had
been received for the augmentation efthe army and
navy, a report which caused depression Of another
franc in the French funds. The question on the
Bourse, which was crowded, appeared TO be less
whether there should or should not be war, but
where the first blow could be struck with the bost
ad vantage.
