DISTURBED CONDITION OF THE FRENCH
PKovISCEs. The news from the French
provinces continues to be of the most
unsatisfactory character. The reyolu.
tionary sentiment is everywhere evident,
especially in tho South of Franco, and
the authorities find it becoming more
and more difficult to discharge their
duties. Some time since it Was reported
that a large quantity of munitions Of war
was discovered ut Lyons. This report
has been subsequently confirmed. In
the capital Of the Rhone the revolution.
ary committees are as active as beavers
and are making converts to their doc
trinos. No matter where we look
throughout the French republic, we find
matters are getting 80 complicated that q
political convulsion, more or loss severe,
cannot be much longer delayed.

A MUNlFIcENT SURRENDER.
si.coo.coo,oco Bestowed on Queen
Victoria.

The policy Of President Grant in handling the
''iadirsct claims" and consequential damages"
pat into the "American Case for arbitration at
Geneva, proves that the President can deal NJ UNI
hcently with the peoples claims easily as he
can receive valuable presents from his speculative
friends.
1t has been but few short weeks or months at
most, since our wonderful Chief Magistrate ayow.
Cd In terms Us strong as appropriate words would
permit that the "consequentiaI damages result
ing from the prolonga,lon Of the war by the Ala.
bsma and other Confederate vessels, together with
what VAS termed direct damages, should certainly
b paid by England. There was to be no with.
dfawal OF the indirect claims which amounted,
according to the estimate OF the Press, Herald and
other Radical papers, to a thousand millions OF
do.ian.
The Radical papers maintained that this de-
mtnd was just aud right, and they urged the Ad.
minitratlon to "s,snd up Tor the whole OF the
consequential damages" The Press OF Saturday
still puts them at 81 900 600 o0O and rays .it Is
clear that it wac legally and politically wise and
prudent to introduce the indirect damages INTO
tie American case"
Such being the and if. as has heretofore been
maintained by the Press, the claims were Justly
duo Us from England, the only correct and logical
deduction is that BY abandoning such claims our
muninoent President surrendered t0rQuee. Veto
vsas Gopenment the snug httie sum Of enc thou
ssnd ss,lions Of dollars.
There was time when the President OF the
United States could say to the European nations.
I'VE ssk nothing but what il clearly right and
viii submit to nothing that Is wrong" And our
demands, when made were respected and com.
piled with.
Does any one suppose tnat Gen. Jackson would
have demanded $1,000, 600 for damages due
h:s people, and acted as Grant has donel
Il Great Britain justly owed US t 1000 900 900 she
ought 70 be made to pay it; if not now, at some
future day. If she did not owe 1t we were at-
tampting an extort,on in asking 1t. 1t seems that
further dem and for the payment of this vast sum
u now out Of the question; for while It was gwen
ost By some persons in Washington that the ,nd,
rect claims were only Withdrawn from Geneva 10
b exastsd on some future occasion, 1t has been
openly stated In the British House of Commons
that their withdrawal from Geneva is perpetual
bar 70 their ever being again put forward as
alAim against England. So easy is it Tor the Cab.
Inst st Washington to dispose OF Q thousand mil.
lions which they month ago declared was Justly
due our people. II this claim was just, by what
right does Grant and his Cabinet assume to sur.
render 1T Surely the action Of the "Second
