THEIRS Message to French Cha mbers,

PARIS, Nov. 13.-President Thiers' mes
sage to the National Assembly begins with
thanks to God for the progress of the work
OF reparation and the general prosperity of
the country. Referring to the extraordina-
~ success OF the last loan asked by the
government, 1t says the whole available cap
Ital of the commercial world was offer ed
France. Half the loan has been realized in
three months. Germany has been paid
100000 900 francs Of the war indemnify.
and will receive 200 100000 In December.
rhe budget shows deficit of 10000, 900
francs for the past fiscal year, but the esti-
mates show Shat the equilibrium of eXpen-
ditures and revenue will be restored In
1873 and that surplus may be looked for
in 1874.
Ahusion Is made to the disasters OF the
late war, the cruel dismembsrment Of the
country, the frightful burthen it has to
bear, and the establishment of the republic.
All these things, suddenly bursting on a
surprised and disheartened country, might
have resulted in irreparable disaster If Or
der had not been maintained. A forcible
appeal is made to the theoretical republi-
cans not to spare even excessive sacrifices
for order in their own interests. Events
have given them the republic. The repub-
lie exists as the legal government. An al
tempt at any different form of government
would lead to most terrible revolution.
The President deprecates formal proc
lamation of the Republic by assembly.
The better policy would be to impress on
the institutions Of the country the features
of conservative Republicanism. The Re-
public must be conservative; otherwise it
cannot exist. The absolute need of France
is repose. The Republic might live through
few days OF agitation, but after
frightening Others it fears itself
and falls into the arena Of
an adventurer, travelling the sad and humi-
ating journey from anarchy to despotism
aud despotism to anarchy. The slightest
fault is sufficient to wreck the Republic.
France, orderly and strong, inspires conf
dence In foreign powers who desire above
al a just equilibrium. France If she
chooses not to Isolate herself, may become
surrounded by trusting and useful friends.
To the Assembly is left the initiation OF
constitutional measures. The decisive mo-
| ment has arrived for the WORK. The Pres
ident promises Difference and cooperation
and concludes by invoking God TO bless
the work of the Assembly and render COM
plete and durable consumation which has
| not been attained since the Commencement
of this century.
The message was well received by the
| Left IRepublicans1, to whom it gives great
| satisfaction. n. de Kerdrel, Conservative,
| moved the appointme ent of committee to
| draw up a reply. The motion was agreed
to by q small majority. 1t is thought the
| Presidents message will lead to an early
| dissolution Of the Assembly.
