The French situation remains unchanged be-
cause the next move is expected to come from
the Senate which stands adj Durncd until Thurs

The general opinion seems to be that this ad
tournament was for tho purpose Of giving time
to the Government to win the support OF the
Oreanis.s for extreme measures. Nevertheless
dispatches this morning indicate calmcr feel
ing than on the previous day. The nonlssuc Of
any circular by the new foreign minister to
tho French representatives abroad and the
countermand OF the recc ptiors OF their subOrdl
mates by several members Of The Cabinet are
cited as Indications that the Cabinet does not
expect to last long.
The report of the Budget Committed 90 the
special accounts opened by the De Broglic minis.

read 10 the Chamber Of Deputies yesterday, but
not discussed because the ministers were absent
from the sitting. amounting to Is. OOO 900 francs,
declares the accounts illegal and that they can.
not be sanctioned by the Chamber without com-
promising the rights Of the nation. By reject
iug the bill submitted by the late Cabinet the
Chamber would not dclinitivcly refuse TO sauc
ton the expenditure, but would simply reserve
its Interior decision.
The London Times correspondent says
This report strikes by anticipation at one Of the
experiments which probably had been relied on
forexpeuding money without previous authority
of the Chamber The par,isans OF resistance
thus find themselves more and more hemmed
in by the net work of legality from which there
is DO escape except by criminal enterprises
which have 20 advocates even among the most
ardent ard needless advisers of the Elysoe.
