On Monday, in the French Assembly, the do

asks for the President for the year 1881 is

has been appointed, numbering fifteen mem
bers, to report upon the bill, and out Of this
number only two are in favor Of the.grant IL is
almost certain that the bill will not pass. though
there is bare possibility Of the thing la case

pursue Many suppose that he will appeal TO
the people, through subscription, but the people
of France will not subscribe for him out Of their
