The French SituatiOn-Gambetta
Views.
NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-The Her1LdS
Paris letter of the 9th contains an interview
with Gambetta in which he says that the
Republican cause never looked brighter in
France than now. In districts where Re-
publicanism never before found root, we
find friendship. When the Assembly comes
together after the recess it is most probable
that the Monarchists will make one more
desperate, despairiDg effort to overthrow
Thiers, or rather to reduce him into the po-
sition of mere minister of the Right. This
will be the great parliamentary battle. We
are apt to have it about February,
but it will be the last effort of
the Monarchists. They will be beaten as
they have been beaten always whenever
they dared the issue, and we shall slowly,
surely drift upon dissolution [of the Assem-
bly.1 This solution, dissolution mean,
should come about May. You see by May
the Prussians will have been paid the fourth
milliard; but one more will remain, and for
that abundant financial guarantees will be
given. There can then be no further use
for postponiDg dissolution. The Prusslans'
sole interest in French politics Is q
pecuniary one, and they know full
well that they are much more likely
to have their filth miliard promptly If the
country is quiet than if it Is disturbed.
Disturbed and uneasy it will be if the pres
ent assembly is not dissolvedin six months.
The dissolution of the assembly all rests
with Thiers. He has only to say ~ cannot
govern France with the aid Of the Assem-
bly," and the work is done.
Cause of NapOleOn's Death.
New YORK, Jan. 26.-The London
papers say, that, from the post-mortem ex-
animation in the case of Napoleon, while
death was the result of the shock OF the
operation twice undergone, added to the
severe sufferings which followed on each
occasion, and all acting upon constitution
whose state was already desperate, it was
not due to any miscarriage Of the operation
itself. Death followed within twenty
minutes from the time the Emperor was
seized with the fatal symptoms, he having
been unconscious throughout, and, of
course, also insensible to pain and spared
from the pangs of death.
A PalpabIe Hit-Spanish Travesty OF
Grants Message.
HAVANA, Jan. 25.-The VOz de Cuba,
in an editorial in its issue Saturday, says
the defeat Of the United States troops by
the Modoc Indians is certainly fact that
does not honor much the arms of the great
republic. This war of determination has
been sustained more years between the civ
ilized Americans and the Indians than our
own war against those who wish to drive
us from our homes and country. This In
dian war wounds humanity in its noblest
sentiments, and is a real scandal to this
century of humanitarian sensitiveness. Be-
ing so close to the frontiers Of his Catholic
Majesty, he ought in his next speech
to the Cortes indicate 70 Mr.
Grant how much the Spanish
people is affected by the proceedings Of his
Government against the poor Indians, and
should tell the whole world that this fight is
against a race who are the possessors Of the
land Wherefrom they are to be exterminat-
ed. The King might also indicate to Grant
the means he ought to employ to civillze
instead of to exterminate the Indians, CIV
ing Grants Government as guide the pol
icy pursued by Spain against the Indians
when conoueriDg them in America. The
Voz also advises the principal European
Journals to send correspondents to find out
the truth of what is passing in the Indian
