La Liberti reports that a meeting OF moderate
republicans was held yesterday, at the residence
of ex President Theirs. The question OF grant
ing amnesty to the communists was considered.
The proposition was made that committee on
pardons be appointed, which shall be less severe
than the former committee, and permit those per-
sons TO return to France who are innocent OF
crimes against the common laws and those who
are more misguided than guilty. This measure
was offered as substitute for the radical proposal
of complete amnesty. Gambetta sends word that
he will soon return to Paris, from the south. and
SAYS he will first wait on Theirs, with whom he
wishes to be on good terms, Notwithstanding ru-
mors to the contrary.
