False ReDOrf.

LONDON, Nov. PA dispatch has been re,
ceived here from New York, announcing the
report current there of the resignation OF
President Theirs and other changes in the gov
eminent Of France. The report is false and
without shadow of foundation. Up to this
hour not even u rumor Of the resignation Of the
French President has been current.
The Associated Press dispatches have given
full history Of the course OF events in France.
Theirs has called for another and stronger
vote Of confidence from the Assembly, aud has
threatened to resign unless it is accorded. Va
rious rumors as TO his successor, in the event OF
his resi- guation, have been given, rs :urh, from
time to time. One Of these published on
Tuesday, was that the Party Of the Right
would propose Il Trumvira e in case the RESI-
dent and his Ministers resigned. Out Of these
statements and rumors, showing somewhat
threatening situation IN France, the ia Sc
report of yesterday was probably manufactured
entire.
