Political and Financial Gambling In France. |
tfrom The London Telegraph, july ~
French politics are beginning to claim large
share Of European attention. Although recent
events, and in particular the incident which, in
conventional phlaseology, has so much enhanced
the domestic Felicity Of the Emperor have contri
buted very much to consolidate and perpetuate his
Imperial Majestys authority, IL cannot be denied
that there are circumstances in the present con-
diiion OF France which are calculated to produce
very grave reflections. Among one class of the
population, the passion for speculation has been
carried to such an extent that great financial
crisis may be anticipated from one day TO another.
The astute parsonage TO whom the destinies Of |
France are at present confded, is evidently i'm. |
