what will be tho action Of tho Government
in reference to the manifesto tnst Issued to
tho electors Of the Twentieth ACCOMPLISHMENT
Of Paris. In this manifesto GAApErrA throws
of all reserve, and in bold, nnequivocal

predicts that France will apurn both

leaving MAcNIAnoN "no alternative but

before tho election, and being spread

possible to forecast the result Of this defiant

co.irss divided In opinion on Tho subject,
the Republican papers warmly commencing
