The Examiner says if the mad policy OF 1914 toward
France-a policy of partition and repression-is IN
tended, the safety of Europe demands that France
be guaranteed against dishonor and ACKNOWLEDGMENT,
and it is to be hoped the Gar will nterpose to pre-
serve the balance of power.
The Crilian of this city asserts that sixteen boxes
of property belonging to Napoleon have been re-
ceived in London. and are now stored in warehouse
in the city.
The Paris papers notice angrily that Prussan VIC
tories strengthen the London Stock markets also
that Prince Humbert (the Crown Prince of Italy,
and his wife have congratulated Prussia her sue
cesses.
The Paris Monde says that five well-trained gun
ners have been assigned to each of the 5000 guns
mounted on the Paris Notifications. An ample sup
ply of ammunition is also provided.
The Paris journals demand the dismissal of Gen.
Failly. whose management of the Corps d Armee be-
trayed great incapacity in the recent battle.
