THE ARMY.
President MacMahon has issued a pro-
clamation to the army, in which he an
nounces the appointment of General dc
Ladmirault-who retains the GOvernorship
of Paris-to the command of the Army of
erals commanding military districts-even
of General Chanzy-are all highly compli
mentary to the new President, whose nomi-
nation they evidently look upon as tri-
butte to the army. General du Barail, who
has been appointed War Minister, has in
augurated his tenure of Office by graceful
recommendation Of General de Cissey for
the military medal.
THE FOREIGN PoLIcY OF FRANCE.
Every act of the new President and his
Government confirms tho belief that there
will be no change in tie foreign policy of
France. The Duo de Broglie has distinctly
stated as much in the Assembly, and the
President, in receiving the representatives
of tue COnservat YES on Tuesday, repeated
the same assurance. The first object of
the Government, said Marshal MacMahon,
will be the maintenance of material order,
(Which is not in question, and which will
be easy enough" The next is "the re .estab

personnel is all that is likely to take place,

Manchester has made up for any shortcom-

reso ution declaring that "the people having
been deprived of the land through the
fraudulent devices and tyrannical usurpa-
ton OF the governing classes, are justified
IN enforcing the restitution of the same by
any means that circumstances may place
within the ir power;" and the meeting re-
jected an amendment intended to be con-
ciliatory, which after affil ming that " the
present ownership of land originated in
fraud and conquest, and that the people
have perfect right to demand the imme-
date resumption of it by the State," pro-
posed that " the land should be purchased

A fresh document, which is subscribed |
oy all the Bishops having jurisdiction in

his Vicar General-renews the protest |

concern them both. Such recognition,
moreover, would be remuneration of ali

he Church possesses in Prussia.
