ALI advlces from France indicate revival
of sympathy with the Bonaparte dynasty.
few months ago no Frenchman could be
brought to discuss seriously the possibility OF
Napoleon III ever coming back to the Tuier-
les. But they now own that such thing Is, If
not probable, at least possible. This is the
statement Of the New York Tribane's Paris
correspondent, who further speaks of the tenn
ty. He says that many people in Paris hate
the Commune with all their soul and all their
strength, but they hate NJ. Theirs and the Yer
sa.iIes Assembly rather worse. OF course 1t Is
plain that NJ Theirs might separate many who
noWM wish well to tho cause OF tho commune
OF rather who detest the Assembly and It's
monarchical tendencies, by passing law
which would guarantee municipal liberties to
Paris, anu by procaiming formally the Repub-
lie. But these are just the two things which
NJ Theirs will not do. He has seen ft to non-
mate generals who owe all their past 10 Ma

brought him and his government into Paris
through rivers Of blood, there is no question
which they would proclaim, che Republic or
the Empire.

Germany desired peace, and that, alter the
war was forced upon them, the Germans were
determined to secure guarantees of q more
peaceful future. These guarantees must be
TERRITORIAL tor the guarantees of foreign pow
ers cannot help Germany. 1t was first pro-
posed 10 make Alsace and Lorraine neutral
territory, by which Germany and France would
be- separated from the North Sea to the Swiss
Alps. In this way, said Bismarck, there was
no possibility that Germany would attack
France, for Germany respects treaties Of neu-
trail y; but that would not prevent France
from sending feet to attack Germany, and
as the naval power OF the latter is not equal to
that of its adversary, Germany would be pro-
teeted only so long as these provinces observ-
ed their neutrality, which would not be long |
in the case OF Asace. Therefore their absorp- |
tlon by Germany was required. Bismarck
closed by promising Alsace and Lorraine the
power OF self administration, aud hoped to
overcome the aversion Of the Inhabitants 10y

The splendid, column in Place Vendome,
Paris, which the fanatical Communists destroy
