Amnesty or no amnesty is the principal topic OF
interest In Parliamentary circles and although the
vote OF the special committee OF the Chamber OF
Deputies disappoints the radicals OF Paris il meets
with the approval OF the country While believing
that the government, In the hands OF MacMahon, Is
fully able to cope with any brois that might arise
from the return OF the unrepentant Communarls,
most people would prefer to prevent the possibility
surviving nsurrectionists OF March 49, 1871 In very
gradual manner.

FOUR FAILURES.

.Jeanne dArc" at the Grand Opera House, making
an exceptionally unfavorable total, hardly pos.
sessing fellow In our stage history.
"JEANNE D'ARc"
The first representation OF Jeanne d'Arcv took
place on Wednesday evening, and fully confirmed
my previous iudgment-namely, poor, thin music,
not counteracted by the gorgeous setting Of the
piece.
THE HOUSE.
The house brilliant In every sense OF the word,
and graced by the presence Of President MacMahon,
two queens, any number OF princes, and all the
beauty, fashion and talent Of the gay capital.
The general verdict was one OF disappointment.
