Reaction Against the Republic.
The country was alarmed at the action of the
radicals, who played into the hands of the
Monarchists. 1t is not probable that the Or
leanists will be successful. The princes are too
wise and patriotic to involve the country in a
civil war.

REORGANIZATION of the British Army.
LONDON, Feb. 15.-The following are the
principal points of Mr.. Cardwell's bill on the re-
organization of the army which will be brought
forward tomorrow as the great event of the
session.
Tho Purchase system VIII be Abolished,
and promotions will be made by a fair system
of seniority and selection. The Horse Guards
will be removed to the War Office, thereby

go long denounced
The Appointment of fCommander-In-Chief
will be in future limited to the term of five
years, and that officer will be the head of disci-
pline and patronage only. This is not directed
against the Duke of Cambridge especially, but
is in the interest of future discipline. The Ide-
partment will have force always ready, which
will be fixed at
100000 Men, with srrenk Reserve
of militia newly organized, to work with the
regular army. Volunteers will be left as they
are, but be required to give the War Office
guarantees of their efficiency.
This measure is shrewdly designed to head off
the anticipated conservative attack on the War
Office management, and is intended to win over
the radicals to support the administration on
that dangerous issue.
Parts Delivery OF Arms Complete.
VERSAILLES, Feb 14.-The delivery of arms
| by the garrison of Paris is completed. Yester-
| day 200 900 muskets and 1400 brass pieces were
amorg the surrendered weapons. The number
of iron guns on the walls is not yet ascertained.
| The Emperor's Grand EnIree.
Among prudent people, both German aud
French, the entrance of the Emperor into Paris
Regarded with Apprehension.
| A single pistol shot by an insane fanatic

1t was intended at one time to invite the
reigning sovereigns of Germany to accompany
| the Emperor and army in triumphal march. But
| this plan has been abandoned, and the sove-
reigns are invited to attend his Majesty in his
grand entrance into his own capital.
The Programme fer the Emperor's Return to
1t is still undecided at what time the Emperor
will return to Germany; but it is thought he will
| leave Versailles on the 23d, travelling through
Stra,burg, Carsruhe Stuttgard, and Munich,
and visiting on the way the sovereigns who
elected him Emperor, and who will fall into his
train to grace his triumphal entry into Berlin.
If affairs are unproptious he may remain here
until the beginning of March, and then proceed
direct to Berlin. In any event the Emperor will
be in Berlin on March 8, when the first Diet OF
United Germany meets.
The German Princes ReturniaE Bone.
The princes who have been attached to head
quarters throughout the war are returning
home.
There are no signs of the slightest relaxation
in the German army, no indications that they
consider their work finished. On the contrary,
everything here is suggestive of the beginning
instead of the close of the campaign. The
Germans are taking every precautlon in case OF
the renewal of the war, and will be ready 10
prosecute 1t with unusual vigor If the necessity
| uphappily should arise.
