PROPOSED REMOVAL OF THE FRENCH Gov
ERNMRNT FROM VERSAILLES TO PARIs.-It ID
now stated that the government of M. Theirs
has consented to support motion which is to
be made so soon as the Assembly meets to re-
store to Paris her ancient privilege and 10
remove thither the headquarters Of the ma
tional government. 1t is not to be denied that
Paris, if she is ever to become what she once
was-the pride of France and the eye Of Eu-
rope-must be made the capital city. In Paris
to-day all property is at discount, and the
shopkeepers are clamorous and disconte nted.
It is a question, however, whether it is wise,
after the experience Of the last fifteen months,
again to place the government at the mercy ol
the Paris mob. Public opinion seems to en-
