TROUBLES OF THE FRENCH CONVEN-
TON.
VERSAILLES, February j.-The fol-
lowing is official: The French Gov
ernment will apparently lead the
Administration at Bordeaux to a nom
observance Of the Convention entered
into. The German authorities at Paris
say that Convention only looked
to negotiations for a free Assembly,
and that an arbitrarily constituted
body under the dIctatiOn Of Gam betta
/ is not emitted TO such a title. Favre
informed Bismarck that he will re-
sciud the DEGREES issued by Gambetta.
/ Confusion is, however, probable, and
can only be prevented by an adjourn
ment of the election.
