The News from Brance-Republic or Mon
archy, Whichs
The reorganization of the French army will
certainly not be retarded from any want of
schemes. According to our special despatch
from Paris plan has been submitted by NJ
Gambetta for the remodelling of the army and
the civil service. The former is said to be the
work of Generals Faidherbe and Chanzy, in
conjunction with the Duke d'Aumale and the
Prince de Joinville. Gambetta and the Or
leans Princes rowing in the same boat-here
is news, indeed! The ex-Dictator of France
is getting to be quite conservative. He, to
whom Theirs, in one of his famous speeches,
but lately alluded as 'tou furieur," who re-
fused to recognize the National Assembly and
was accused of sympathies with the Com
mune, is now consorting with the representa-
tives Of monarchy. General Faidherbe has
been quite prolific on the subject Of army re-
organization. But he, too, is a republican,
while his colleague, General Chanzy, has a
leaning towards the Orleanists.
The Duke d'Aumale, whose name is asso-
ciated with the scheme, is also military man,
having distinguished himself in the wars Of
Africa, and the Prince de Joinville has done
good service in the French Navy, where he
still enjoys great popularity
Fusions are the order of the day. Is this
going to be an Orleanist-republican fusion
May be the Orleanists have turned republi-
cans, or (Which is more likely Gambetta,
Faidherbe and company have turned Orlean-
lists. But what shall we think of the news, as
announced by our special cable despatch, that
he Duke de Broglie, the French Ambassador
in London, has given gala dinner and ten
dered royal honors to the Count de Paris {? And
those royal honors, adds our despatch, were
apparently offered by order of the Theirs gov
eminent. Better and better, or rather worse
and worse. The Duke de Broglie is an old
servant of the Orleanists. Couple with this
news the announcement that NJ. Favre has left
the Ministry, and we have some strange COM
plications. NJ. Favre, who is republican,
did not like to favor the temporal power Of
the Pope or play into the hands of the mon
archists, SO he preferred to resign. M. Theirs,
we are told aspires to become the Washington
of France. The chief of the executive is too
old to forget and to begin being anything else
but NJ Theirs Looking over our foreign files
we happen to alight upon a speech delivered
by Theirs in the National Assembly on June 8.
He said Eff monarchy is to be re-estab-
lished in this country desire that it should
at least be said that the republic has been
Civen q fair trial The trial of the republic-I
ask pardon of my listeners-has never sue
ceeded in republican hands,"
NJ. Theirs, in spite of his Orleanist. predi-
lections-for this is an undeniable fact-must
confess that the republic has not yet been
given a fair trial. Indeed, the republic in
France is in good way to become great
and glorious fact And if M. Theirs attempts
to set up the Count de Paris as King Louis
Philippe II. he will be sternly told by the
republicans that republic can never succeed
in monarchcal hands.
