PARIS, July 4-The result of the supplement
tary elections in France is estimated to be the
return of 12O Republicans. Legtimsts and 10
Bonapartisls. The highest vote in Paris was
cast for Wolowski, who received $4,000 votes;
Gambetta received "a 600 votes. Freppie was
the lowest in the list, receiving 5000 votes.
The unexpected strength of the Republicans
IN the departments discourage the mOnarchits
1t is feared that the Assembly will be more d.
vided than ever. and that it will be impossible
to obtain working majority.
The journal DIES Bats Gays the election de-
tails are favorable to the Bordeaux programme.
Inc victory is not one for the Republicans who
owe their success to division OF their oppon-
ents,eut for order and peace. The Republicans
are, however, iubilant over their success. The
stce says that the Bonapartists have been
condemned by the results of the election and
Ligitimists have resumed the position of
small minority. The antiagonism between
the cities and country has disappeared and the
true France appears.
The siege of Paris will probably be raised to-
day as a prelude to the movement of the gov
eminent from Versailles.

that TIE American people suffered from the
