FRANCE.
Theirs ON Napoleon.
LONDON, June N.-M Theirs in the French
Assembly yesterday denounced the policy OF
Napoleon as absurd and the real cause of the
disasters which have befallen France. The
course pursued by Gambetta was txcusable,
though peace ought to have been made with
Germany when the success of the army of the
Loire became hopeless. 1t was necessary to
pay the German indemnity quickly, still he
was not in favor Of levying an income tax or
the re. establishment of measures of prOhibi-
tory character, but would simply re-estaPiish
few taxes which would provide the money
necessary to meet the demands upon the coun-
try. France should and will derive many ad.
vantages from her misiortunes. -

At Peace with Russia.
VIENNA, June 21.-In the imperial diet yes
terday Bucst, in reply to a speech by Giskra,
said the relations OF the empire with western
powers were excellent and there was no rea-
son to apprehend collision with Russia

mOnstrated against the internal organization
of Austria are unfounded, and even if true

ference upon uxine questions are entirely sat
isiactOry to the government and the prosperity
of Austria and her authority among nations
is greatly increased because of her non-partici-
patton in war upon this question.
