PARIS March 2.-For any one who really knows
France and this strange City of Pans the signs OF
appeasement and future cOucillatiOn are already
visible. On the first announcement OF the Repubii-
can victories every side 1t is certain that the
large mass of Republicans of the morow-as they
are termed in contradstinctiOn TO the Republicans of
all tine-began to feel andeven to express a strong
if not an absolutely anxious desire that the flush OF
success might not niiscad tIe triumphant partyinto
excess of exultation and thereby into grave political
mistakes sins of exclusion and intolerance above
all This was the 70 be feared that the delib-
erately aggressive and provocative conduct of the
3roglie aud Buffet Cabinets since the 9th of May,
1873 had had for its chief aim the loss OF temper by
the Republicans, and then the natural resort to re-
pression the salvation of society by Ftta III
disguised form.
will not conceal that for the first week after the
elections of the 10Th of February, the friends OF the
present regime were dsqueted; they had kind OF
latent belief founded on strong hope, that things
would go all right III the end; Dut aU the sIhc I'm"
il dId seem marvcousy easy that they should 90
all wrong. The one great crucial question was the
election of the Due Decazes. aud here | may say
that IN the beginning more than uncertainty pre-
vailed. This matter is very complicated one, and
has perhaps not been thoroughly appreciated by
foreigners will try to explain it to your readers
in its various bearings.
Unfortunately, like many Continental European
politicians of our time, NJ. Decazes is more reputed
for capacity than character. His antecedents w0uld
Justify no one-not his best friends-in calling him
safe Under the Government of National Defense,
NJ Decazes was as anxious to serve rs any one Of
Gambettas famous prefects and for not having
named him Embassador in London or Vienna, or
Minister for Foreign Affairs, NJ Theirs had to suffer
the overthrow of the oath Of May, 1873. In tho
point of view of policy, this setting aside OF NJ
Decazes was Que Of ~ Thierss very worst mistakes.
France has. TOR many reasons, absolutely no foreign
politicians. The Due Decazes Is not only her only
one, but he s one Of the very highest order, and
