Agitation In the Corps Lcgislatif.


PARIS, July l.
The sitting of the Corps Legislatif yesterday
was much agltated IN the discussion of the
military contingent. The government asked
for 10000 instead of 100000 men, the usual
number. Jules Favre made spirited and elo-
quent speech against the continuance ofa large
standing army. exu
NJ. Thiers thought the state of Europe was
menaclDg, and France should be prepared.
N. Favre, in reply, quoted from the Yellow
Book the official assurance Of peace and tran
guilty, and wanted to know why such mill
tary establishment was kept up, unless hidden
plans and schemes in favor of the dynasty were
entertained. He closed by declaring he be-
lieved the ministry was honest, but 1t was sub
ject to higher will.
NJ. oliver answered the charges made
against the government and its policy. He
had no fears for the future. France had gain
ed her Sadowa in the Plebiscitum.
Much dissatisfaction was here expressed by
the deputies, and the minister was obliged to
explain that he had no intention OF exulting
over any subjects OF the empire. These words
increased the agitation in the Chamber. NJ.
oliver continued: The government felt no
uneaslness, otherwise it would not have reduc-
ed the contingent by 10000 men.
The treaties of 1856 insured peace in the
East the treaty of Prague insured peace in
Germany. 1t would be observed the ministers
had done an act that was necessary to secure
peace, and at the same time had rendered evil
dent the perfect accord which existed between
the sovereign and his people.
Amid great excitement which followed the
speech of the minister, NJ. Favre rose to reply,
but found it impossible to make himself heard,
so loud was the noise. He refused to proceed,
and took his seat. The majority then voted
against continuing the discussion the next day,
and the Chamber adjourned.
