as follows:
The proclamation of the government
delegation at Tours, ordering elections to
take place on the 10Th October, gives great
satisfaction here and promises to give a
new direction to the apparently hopeless
current of French affairs, and will have
the effect of depriVing Bismarck of the
| pretext that there is no government to
treat with capable of giving guarantees !;
for this failing to listen to reason will in
sure vigorous support to the measures OF
the administration from all parts of the
country and relieve the grief of the de-
moralized but gallant French people.

precaution. The Prussians are anxious
| to create a belief that there is disunion in
the capital.
The balloon post from Paris promises

that city. The Postoffice administration
of Paris publishes regulations for sending
letters through it.
