made on March 4. Senator Morton will
be Secretary of State. Gov. Morgan will
probably have a seat. All the present
members, except Delano, will retire"
The Worlds special says: "The
nomination of Cramer as Minister to
Denmark was not confirmed by the Sem
ate Yesterday. Sumner objected, saying
that the Committee on Foreign Rela-
tons have been several months inquir
ing into this nomination, and all they
could find was that this nominee was a
brother.in.law of the President, and
wholly unfit for the position"
There is some talk of the President
vetoing the bill repeating the test oath.
He is advised to do so by such men as
Butler, in the House, and Morton, in
the Senate, on the ground that the time
has not yet arrived when it is safe for
the Government to restore eX-rebels to
their political rights. 1t is stated that
the bill passed the Senate through q
misunderstanding, and that if it had to
go before that body again it would be
defeated. Should the President veto
the bill it will fail, as it cannot COM

The Cologne Gazette acknowledges
in glowing terms the fact that United
States Minister Washburne has, during
the siege of Paris, given needed succor
to seven hundred Germans.
Letters of the Sd inst state that M.
Doran has assumed the portfolio of Pub
lie Works temporarily, during the alb
sencc Of NJ. Maquin, and that NJ. Ferdi-
nand Herold succeeds Jules Favre, who
has rendered his resignation.
The Echo du Nord has special dis
patch from Berlin, saying that contribu-
! tions already executed by German COM
manders will be deducted from the
amount of the war indemnity, also the
value Of the railways of Alsace and Lor-
raine.
A Berlin dispatch says: Uneasi-
ness is succeeding the exultation caused
by the fall of Paris. The funds are de-
pressed. and no confidence is felt that
terms of peace will be accepted by the
Bordeaux Assembly. Incessant exer-
tons are making for the resumption of

run the whole of France, and reduce it
to submission by savage and relentless
campaign.
The Prussians commenced to pro-
vide for the restoration OF the railways
and the provisioning Of the capital the
moment the armistice was concluded,
but the rolling stock was found to be in
such wretched condition that it is as
yet impossible. Paris, consequently,
suffers for the want of food, being still
supplied from the rations of the Ger
mans.
A letter from Col. Ducan Kentry,
assisting in the War Department in Bor-
deaux, says there is an immense reac-
ton in official circles and among the
populace against the Provisional Gov
eminent, and that ten millions of peo-
pie would vote for the restoration of the
Empire tomorrow. France will refuse
to continue the war. The Mobiles ar
irving at Bordeaux shout &" we l. En-

The Morning Post publishes a special
dispatch from Calais, the 9th. which
says the Prussians show determine
ton to retard the revictualing of Paris.
Trains loaded with provisions for that
city have been detained by them at
Amiens, though the line is entirely
clear. The Post says that the British
War Office and the Admiralty are ac-
lively engaged in the efforts TO revctual
Paris. Flour will be exhaused by Sat
urday, and on Sunday Paris will be with
out bread.
Members of the Government who
have arrived here from Paris, tele-
graphed to the Projects of all the De-
partments, recently. decree annulling
the Bordeaux DEGREES of the lst ultimo,
and declaring the electoral disqualfca-
tons as incompatible with the princi-
Piles of universal suffrage. The Paris
decree of the 29th ult. is maintained.
The latest advices indicate that the
troubles between Paris and the Bor-
deauXGovernmentsg grow more and more
alarming, and that Gambetta's followers
are determined not TO accept Bis
marck's terms without more fighting.
1t is believed now that Germany will
give France a government, and that it
will be Napoleon.
The following is official: "The
duality Of the French Government will
apparently lead the administration at
Bordeaux to the non-observance of the
convention entered into by the Germans
and the authorities at Paris. That con-
vention only looked to negotiations for
a free Assembly, and an arbitrarily con-
stituted body under the dictation of
Gambetta is not entitled to such a title.
Favre has informed Bismarck that he
will rescind the DEGREES issued by Gam.
