PARIS, April 13.-La Lsberte has
another editorial calculated to alag
the general discomfort and uneasiuess
which has been inspired by the recent
War-like pr parations of the French
Government. The writer SAYS that
the United States Legation at Paris
is continually overrun with French
men, who are anxious to escape mill
tary service, to which they are now
liable under the provisions of the
new army bill. Knowing nothing of
the American laws of naturalizatio1.
and having only the lately concluded
pr0YisO of the American treaty 10
their minds, they are literally besieg-
ing the United States representative
for naturalization papers. OF course
all the applicants were refused who
were lacking the five years actual res
Idence IN America as required by law.

ENGLAND.
LoNDoN, April 13. = Official dis
patches from General Napier, In com
mand Of the Abyssinian expedition,
received by the Government, show
that, in spite Of bad roads, the Brit
ish forces are steadily advancing to-
wards Magdela. Meanwhile. there is
every evidence of the intention of the
King of Abyssinia to offer serious re-
sistance. General Napier, in his latest
dispatch, dated Near Lake Ashange,
March 18th, says: Our advance
will reach Lake Ashange tomorrow;
the rear, with artillery aud supply
trains, is three days march behind
The country is mountainous. and
very difficult for artillery and trains.
King TheodOrus is near Magdela
where he intends to make a stand"
Letters from the eaptives say they are
well. The health of the troops Is
good. The effective force under Cen
eral Napier now advancing on Mag
della numbers 5000 men.
LONDON, April Evening a
grand review Of volunteers was held
at Portsmouth to day. Over 10000
men were In the ranks. A vast
crowd Of spectators from Portsmouth
and the surrounding country, and
from London, witnessed the evolu-
tiOns.
The Newmarket Craven race meet
ing commenced to-day, and viii con-
tinue through the present week. The
craven stakes were won by Florence,
the free handicap sweepstakes by Six
tenus, and sweepstakes Of fifty sove-
reigns by Turpin.
New York, April 13.-The Lon
don Marhlane Erpress, received per
City of Paris, says it is now very
doubtful whether the season will
prove earlier than usual. Prices OF
wheat have little altered, as the for
eign supplies have been liberal, but
there is little doubt that mad It not
been for France, prices would have
been rather lower. Although some
of the interior markets of France
have rather cheapened Marsailles has
advanced, and hence the decline is
not likely to be Of long duration.
Since August the English receipts in
wheat and -four have averaged 73O,-
600 quarters per month, whereas In
the remaining five months before har-
vest England will want about 800, 900
quarters per month. So this year an
early or late harvest becomes a serious
matter.
