THE TEMPER OF THE FRENCH ARMY-The
Paris correspondent Of the New York Herald
says, Gin military circles there is predominant
faith that the Emperor intends to find some
thing for the army to do. 1t is impossible to
enter any society where the services congre-
gate without finding that one subject absorbs
every other-the possibility of measuring swords
with England. The presence ofan Engshman,
as far as havebeen able to judge, does not de-

this, from the custom when Gen. jackson was

Hs1@ During the debate, on the Indian Appro-

Rss@ During the debate, on the Indian Appro-
priation Bill, in the House of Representatives,
on Thursday Mr.. Loveoy said there was re-
port in the papers, as having the authority of
the Chairman of the Committee of Ways and
Means, that, unless the legislation of Congress
should suit the views of the Executive they
would be called together in an extra session.
He would like to know whether that report had
the authority of the Chairman of the Committee
of Ways and Means
Mr.. Phelps. l am not responsible for what
the newspapers say.
Mr.. Loveoy said it was reported, upon his
authority. that unless the tariff was revised to
suit the Executive, an extra session would be
called
Mr.. Phelps was ready to answer that ques-
ton, although it was irrelevant to the matter
under discussion. Unless Congress provided
means for carrying on the Government during
the next fiscal year, either by modification of
the tariff, by loan, by Treasury notes, or by
some other method, there would be necessity
for Congress to convene during the ensuing sum-
mer.
Mr.. Lovejoy. Had it the sanction of the Elk
ecutve?
Mr.. Phelps replied that the President, when
he desired to have an organ in the House, would
select some other person, and his opinions would
be communicated from the Clerks desk. He
spoke his own sentiments and the sentiments of
the gentlemen whom he had heard upon the
subject, but he had heard no such opinions ex-
pressed by the President

RsH The King of Prussia has not been much
improved by the ''skies of Italy," if we may
credit the following account from Florence
correspondent, of his eccentric behavior at the
dinner table:
s'The royal patient was perfectly sane all
day, received his guests, chatted, laughed and
wa quite jolly; the dinner was announced, the
company marched in, the King Of course took
his place at the head of the table, and every
body waited for him to set the example to put
their spoons in their mouths. But instead of
doing what was expected of him, his Majesty
deliberately washed his face in the soup, and
then sat complacently smiling on his friends,
the long strings of vermicilli hanging down over
his eyes and nose, and in his hair and nous
tache. You may imagine the effect; no one
dared to laugh, however, and they had to sit
out the dinner with this ridiculous fgure-head
covered with gravy, flor he sternly refused tow

who died in Washington, on the 9th inst, was a

marines in the Florida war against the Semi

perate engagement with the Indians on the

RUFFIANLY ASSAULT UPON AN EX-CONGREsS-

MAN.-Hon. L. D. Campbell, ex-Congressman
from Ohio, was struck by some ruffian and Sc
rlously if not fatally injured, while on his way
from his office to his residence, at Hamilton, in
that State, on Tuesday night. The Dayton
Journal says: ~
MIR. q. says that he left his office between
twelve and one o'clock and was struck by some
one who came up behind him. 1t was about
three o'clock when he recovered his conscious
ness and was able to reach home, having been
lnsenslble on the street for more than two
hours. There is a severe wound in the back of
his head, the skull being broken in, and the
blow is supposed to have been given with a
slung-shot. Mr.. G. is in a very critical condi-
ton. At intervals he converses very nationally,
but most of the time his mind wanders. A
printer from Dayton, sosays our informant, had
been arrested on suspicion of being concerned in
the assault upon Mr. Campbell.
