EXPELLED lGERMANs CompENsArEn-
IRADE BETWEEN, FRANCE AND GERMANY.
A Berlin correspondent Of the London
Times, writes on the 18th nilt.: d. =
By apportioning to them the fines
levied from French towns, q larger sum
can be accorded to the Germans expelled
from France than the 2, 200, 900 OF thalers
voted. The number, at present. is
42,832, and their claims have been ap-
proved of to the amount of 1856, ,668
thaiers, or 50 thaiers per head. It must
be confessed that this average amount
appears extremely small. Tho journey
from and to Paris alone absorbs one-haif
OF it. The majority are South Germans
Of Prussians there are II, ,4S9, who will
receive 1,3l3,794 thalers; Of Bavarians.
$500, receiving 843, ,28O thalers: Of Ba-
den subjects, 6.578, receiving 596, 6,4G2
thalers; of Hessiane, 5,922, receiving
536,979 thalers; OF Wurtembergers.
4,425. receiving 401, 23S thalers; of Say
ons, 666, receiving GO, 800 tllalers: tho
others, L. ,252 in all. will get 1l3, 1876 tina
lers.. At present by far tho largest nun.
Der have not gone back to Trance, having
found remunerative employment nt
home. Many belonging to Prussia aud
the free cities havo put in no claim Mt all.
Most OF them are commercial men, and
have gone back to France.
In spite OF the Anti Prussian League,
commercial relations have been resumed
extensively between France and Germa-
ny. Indeed, Germany is inundated with
offers of articles Of French manufacture.
The rate Of exchange on Paris being now
very low at Berlin, in consequence of the
payment Of the war indemnity, the
prices at which many French articles arc
offered are still more reduced to the Ger
man buyer, and the warehouses avail
themselves of the opportunity to in
crease their stocks France will proba-
bly, be able to pay considerable part of
the next instalment in bills on Germany.
She will enjoy that ambiguous advantage,
30 eagerly sought for when the protec-
ZIONIST school of political economists was
1ourishing, of exporting far moro than
she imports. She will, namely, export
the value of the war indemnity without
Germany paying for it.
The following appears to be the nddi-
ton made by the National Assembly to
the proposed treaty with Germany, on
was deferred by the German Ambassador: !:
