France and Europe.
NJ. THEIRS VIEWS ON THE SITUATION
PROSPECTS OF LONG PEACE.
The following is the text of an interview
which correspondent of the Paris paper
Le Temps had with NJ. Thiers at Ouchy,
Lausanne, and which has attracted consid-
cradle attention in Europe -
Europe desires peace. She wishes it be-
cause she needs it and I hope that nothing
will occur to modify that disposition or to
arrest her goodwill. Our mislortunes have
brought to US the sympathies which our
good fortune had alienated from us and
the modest attitude inwhich we remain, our
ardor in repairing our ruins, our lively de-
sire to live on good terms with our neigh
bors, the remembrance of our faults-all
this has procured for us precious friendship
and unequivocal encouragements from al
governments. England is very desirous Of
our rehabilitation. Italy, reassured as to
our intentions, and persuaded that We do
not wish to interfere in her internal affairs,
has not forgotten that we have been the
most devoted artisans of her fortune.
Austria, which also has her internal diff
cultles, encourages us. Even Russia
which is resolutely bent upon peace, and
whose Emperor is united by intimate bonds
with the Emperor Of Germany, ceases not
to give us undoubted evidence of her good
wishes and Of her friendship.
THE DARK POINT.
There is, however, one dark point. The
clerical movement, which seems just now
to be carrying away France, cannot fail to
dlsluet foreign government. 1t must not
be forgotten that Germany is in the midst
Of struggle with ultramont.nism; that
the campaign which she has commenced,
although conducted with energy, is not yet
ended ard that the Chancellor Of the En-
pire could not see but with c,pecisl dis
pleasure his worst adyersar;ts finding in
France net encouragement only, but alse
help. Now, it is clear that IL. law recent.
y voted by the National A.#,n.yly upon
The liberty OF higher teaching has produced
disegreeabie impression upon foreisn
overs. But l am sure that the Cabinet .
vii know how to stop this movement, and
hat it will thus counteract, by the energy
II its attitude, the difficulties which mus,

TIE EA2TERS QUESTION.
In the East al2o there is dark point. l |
'ish to believe, nevertheless, that Prince
lilan will be energetic enough 10 restrain
ervla, and that the Skuptschina, informed i,
to the Intentions Of Russia and Austria 10
i'll show sufficient political spirit not to
'lse difficulties nor to create embarrass Il
tents. Happily, both Russia and Austria
ave held language at once rcsolu:c and y
-r-.icious. These two Power. do no. in-
