PARIS, November 13.-The message OIL
President Theirs was received by the Ma,
tonal Assembly to-day. It begins with
thanks to God tor progress Of the work oi
reparation and the general prosperity oi
the country. Referring to the extraordi-
nary success Of the last loan asked Tor by
the government, II says the whole avails.
bic capital Of the commercial world was
offered France. Halfof the loan has been
realized In three months. Germany was
paid eight hundred million francs Of the
war indemnify, and will receive two hun.
dred millions more In December. The
Budget shows q deficit OF one hundred
and thirty-two million francs for the past
fiscal year, but the estimates show that
the equilibrium Of expenditures and reye-
nue. will be distrained In 1873, and
that q surplus may be looked for
In 1874. Allusion Is made to the disasters
Of the late war; the cruel dismemberment
Of the country; the frightful burthen II
had to bear, and the establishment Of the
Republic. All these things, suddenly
bursting on q surprised and disheartened
country, might have resulted in an ire.
parable disaster II order had not been
maintained.
A forcible appeal Is made to the theo.
retical Republicans not to spare even
excessive sacrifices Tor order in their own
interests. Events have given them the
Republic; the Republic exists as the legal
government, and an attempt at any dif-
terent form Of government would lead to
6 most terrible revolution. The President
deprecates the formal proclamation Of
the Republic by the Assembly. The
better policy would be to impress
on the institutions Of the country the
features Of Conservative Republicanism.
The Republic must be Conservative, 9th.

OF France Is repose. The mass might
