FRANCE.

French papers in the interest of the Gov
eminent appear to look upon these c0orSe
sies as kind of counterpoise to the b9rmh
interview. To the Municipal Council "A;
Theirs declared that the news from England
the treaty was very good;"
and, repeating that he had NO wish to de-
stroy Free Trade, expressed his confidence
that an understanding would be arrived az;
The Marine and Hagte. Marine, he said wi!l
be shortly evacuated, and would have been
evacuated already if the barracks in the
neighboripg department had been ready.
Peace" he added, "with foreign coun-
tries is assured; and 1 shall endeavor to
establish peace at home "a far more dlI,
tranquility. NJ. Casimir Perier has given
in his formal adhesion to. the Republic,
having, as he says, remained faithful TO
constitutional monarchy las long as any
hope remained of forming durable basis
for it by the fusion of the two branches OF
the Bo1rbons with the assent of the cOun-
try This hope, he adds, is now totally
destroyed.
Marshal Basaine-The case against Mar
shall Bazaine is being pressed with increased
activity, which gave rise to an unfounoeo
report that the Marshal bad attempted, or
fresh witnesses have offered themselves,
and NJ. Theirs 10 alleged to be less favor,
able to the accused than he has been. Ali
these reports are circulated in order that
they may tell against the scapegoat in the
opinion of the public, a proceeding scarce :
" necessary in the present state OF feeling
in France. And it is satisfactory to see tnat
the Cons titutionnel has demonstrated against
this way of prejudging the question.
} Marriage of Pries.s.-The Abbes Renaud
and Guicheteau, whoever they may De,
have written to the Journal de Genere, u
Protestant paper, to announce their inten-
ton of following NJ. Loyson's example, an
;; intention which they allege to be enter
tanned by 200 priests. That is. e., out OF nifty
thousand priests in France 200 are pre-
f. not very large, but We believe it will be
found to melt like that of the clergy in
Germany who, We are told, were ready to
follow Dr.. Dcllinger. The sooner the few
, that are 90 disposed take themseiVes OF the
better.
