Cabinet some time ago in relation to general
disarmament, he said those efforts were mere

taIns the following report from the ministers
Of war and of the interior to the Emperor:
ssTha government, has authorized the organi-
zaaiontot national guards in the frontier towns
Of the Nortt, and East, but thinks 1t necessary
to renounce the idea Of the organization Of
general national guard. Meanwhile the gov
ernment believes that. companies OF French
volunteer sharpshooters, established more e1-
tensiveIy than at present, Will constitute q
VSsiabie reserve for the protection Of the ma
tional territory. The two ministers propose
that. the engagement of these companies OF
French shaIpshooters shall be limited to the
actual term Of the war, and that the volunteers
admitted into these bodies shall Oe especially
charged with local defence The Emperor
approves ofthe organization OF these corps,
destined to replace, the national local guard.
The Journal Oficiel says that efforts have
beenmade to- create an impression that q
scheme has been broached for the issue Of pa

clsresthst nothing can be further from the
truth The bank, having q large amount OF
