VERSAILLES, May 22.-In the Assembly
to-day the debate on the interpolation Of
the government with regard to war CON
tracts was continued. Andifret Pasquier
replied with severity to NJ. ROuher, and vim
dicated his own exposure of the cOrrupt1Ons-
which existed under the empire. He Wig
Orously denounced Napoleon, and called
upon the empire to restore to France her
legiOns, her provinces, and her glory.
The members of the Assembly and the
crowds in the galleries were greatly eX-
cited, and repeatedly interrupted the
speaker with passionate outbursts of ap-
plause.
M. Rouher followed with a speech of two
hours duration, which was listened to with
impatience, and pronounced unequal to the
occasion.
Gambetta then arose and made a bitter
attack ON the Emperor. The audience was
remarkably quiet, and although deep in
terest was manifested, the speaker received
little or no applause.
With Gambetta's speech the debate
closed, and the sitting adjourned.
MADRID, May 22.-It. is reported that the

ties in GuipuzcOa. The last Carlist band in
Lerida, numbering 300 men, surrendered
yesterday.
NEW YORK, May GA special to the
Herald dated London. May 81, says English
papers continue to discuss the treaty of
Washington, and the supplementary article
thereto, with undiminished interest. These
editorials generally are inspired by a desire
to prevent failure of arbitration and to
save the treaty.
An article in d contrary sense, printed by
the Pail Mall Girzette tonight, is remarkable
for its truthfulness and just appreciation of
the danger of endeavOring to save the
treaty at the expense of national susceph-
bility. The following is an extract:
"The whole drift of feeling and opinion in
England justifies us in saying that the
worst thing to do with the treaty is to save
| it; saving the treaty means Ottense and
| humiliation to America or to England, or
| to both nations. 1t means renewal, and
| not abatement, of the i'll feeling 1t was in
| tended to allay. How to save the treaty
| means who shall eat the Ieeks Z or
whether some means can nOG DC lnVenGeu
| whereby both parties shall agree to eat it
in each others presence. American papers
! appear to exelaim against the adoption of
| the supplementary article; here there is
| onlv one opinion, and that is that its &C
eeDtanee would be discreditable and dan
gerous. Both peoples would be paciied
and content at once if the treaty and
negotiations Herewith were dropped as an
| irremediable blunder, for which the two
governments are alone to blame. That is
| the proper fate of the treaty, and the only
safe and peaceful way of disposing of it.'i
This article states exactly the situation
| in England, and is a. just expression of the
best opinion there. 1t is certain that per-
| sOns-bankers, financial agents and others,
who are determined to save the treaty at
whatever cost, without regard to national
dignity and hOn0r-are bringing about a
dangerous complication.
The same with those unwise politicians
who are willing to make party capital cut
of an international difficulty.
The further negotiation of the treaty will
only continue an irritation that NAV event
uaIly put two proud nations in an attitude
from which war can be the only possible
issue. The treaty should be dropped imme-
diately for the sake of national amity, good
will and peace.
