FRANCE
The New Ministry-A Queer Instruc-
tor of Youth

Works, De Larcey; Instruction, Simon;
Commerce, Lambrecht; Foreign Affairs,
Favre; Interior, Picard; Justice, Du
Faure; Marine, Jangry. The appoint
ment of Jules Simon as Minister of Pub
lie Instruction was in consequence of his
notorious infdellty.
An uneasy feeling exists among the
IOughs, but the presence of troops pre-
serves order. The people of Bordeaux
are generally opposed to peace on the
basis of cession of territory, but it is said
that majority of the ministry and assem-
bly, resolved upon the best terms obtain
able.
The Palace Royal has been designated
as the future residence of President
Theirs, and workmen are busily engaged
in putting it in order for his reception.
The appointment of Theirs as Chief
Executive of the nation was well received
in Paris, and the journals generally sp-
proved of the election of Grevy to the
Presidency of the Assembly. Roche.
forts and Pyat's journals alone find fault
with these appointments. TrOchu will
go to Bordeaux, resign his executive
function, and take his seat in the Assem-
bly,.
Napoleon.
BERLIN, Feb. 19.-Napeleon has re-
ceived notification not to again overstep
| privileges as a prisoner, and 10 abstain
from any interference with the politics
OF France, in the way of protests or pro-
CARNATIONS. Orders have been given 10
watch him closely.
The OrIeanists.
| BORDEAUX, Feb. 19.-World's special.
The conversion of the nominal Repub-
lie into an Orleanist monarchy is immi
nent
The Mayor of the Eleventh arondisse-
ment of Paris made a speech, expressing
the hope that there was an understanding
among the Deputies elected in France
| that France should remain a republic.
This was received with cries of Long
live the Republic" ''Down with the
/ Orleanists. -
The proceedings in the Assembly at
| Bordeaux yesterday were tumultuOus.
The members of the Right and Left
| insulted each other.
LIE People Franchise says the preten-
sions put forward by the Due d'Aumale
| aud Prince de JOinville have created
! arrangement between them and the Count
de Paris, soc rightful claimant of the
throne of France, and this may lead to
rupture, unless powerful Influences are
exerted to prevent it.
Peace Prospects Frightening.
VERSAILLES, Feb. 19.-NOt the slight
est doubt is entertained in high quarters,
I ~
pesce. Favre expressed the opiniOn that
the Assembly can be relied on to make
terms. There is evidently disposition
on the part of Prussia 10 yield good
deal Of her demands, except in matters
of territory, and even this may undergo
some modification.
1t is probable that the Emperor will
abandon the idea of entering Paris, and
that the German troops viii quit Paris
with AL possible promptitude, and evscu-
! ate France as soon as practicable, after
! sufficient guarantees have been given for
the payment of the indemnity of one
hundred and fifty millions sterling.
The Archbishop of Rouen has arrived
with petition asking for reduction of
the war contribution from ROuen.
Prince AibreCht is cOHvalesCent.
La France has reason to believe that
Bismarck has communicated to Favre the
German terms Of peace, and that Favre
has laid them before his colleagues.
La Patrie thinks that the prospec of
peace are improving. 1t is said that the
armistice will be prolonged to the first or
March.
DEPPE, Feb. 18.-It is reported that
| II. l. To-
msrclI admitted to Favre, that it was only
allowable to exact during the aTmistice
contributions levied prior to the 28th Of
January. Dieppe therefore hopes that
the amounts taxed from her may be re.
funded.
The Rhine Provinces.
LONDON, Feb. 19.-The Algemeipe
Zeitung, of Augsburg, states, apparently
on semi-L tficiaI authority, that Bavaria
asks for no territorial ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, and
the intention of making the annexation
of tire French territory a distinct province
of the Empire has not been abandoned.
The French newspapers everywhere
repel the idea of making any cession of
territory. La Ljberte says a durable
peace on such conditions is impossible.
The Alsatians and LOrrainisns now in
Paris have held 2 meeting, and declared
their desire to remain French. They
also protested against the cessiOn of these
provinces SIS an infany.
Paris Herself Again.
The total war contribution required by
the Germans from the city Of Paris has
been advanced by the Bank of France.
Paris is Tesuming natural appearance,
and in few days gas will be used. River
boats have commenced running, and traf-
fc in the streets has begun. Carts are
out, but there are scarcely any cabs or
carriages. The people, toO-and it is
almost painful TO witness it-are about to
| resume their wOnted frivOlities and care
lessncss and gaiety, and already prepare
lions are making for the reOpeniDg of
the ssolute gardens of the capital. The
cafes are nightly thrOnged with loose
characters of BON sexes. The people,
indeed, seem Indifferent to the disgrace
they have already undergone and are IN
dergOing.
EnrI Granville Snubbed.
LoSDoN, Feb. 19.-Considerable feel
ing is shown to diplomatic circles at the
official announcement from Berlin of the
refusal OF the Prussian government to re-
ceive the last letter of Earl Granville
urging peace The letter was addressed
TO Lord Loitues. at Berlin, a copy of
which was forwarded To Odo Russell,
at Versailles, and bears date Jan. 90.
After reciting the position of France
and the unwillinguess of the English
government to press its advice, which,
from its nature, would be necessarily dis
cOuraging 10 the people defending their
territory, who are the best judges what
their own honor and interests require, the
letter continues: mo such consideration
applies to frank communication to Ger
many, who, in the attitude Of her full
power and full tide of her victories, can
not fear misCons'ruCti0n of motive in
endcavoring to bring about an end to the
miseries occasioned by this great war.
Up to this time no distinct intimation has
been given Of the demands of Germany.
, and her Majesty's government does not
assume to offer a suggestion about terms,
but believes that declaration of its
| views by the Imperial government would
hasten a cessaiOn-of the horrors of the
war and the losses OF the vinforiOus or
