Parliament tho items Of the wnr estimates,
which had been referred TO tho Budget Com
mtttee, came up for discussion. An increased
grant for los now Cpptaincies gave rise to a
protractcd dcbate. Gen. Won Moltko insisted On
tho necessity of tho grant. Hc said he
wished Tor . long peace, but times did
not permit such hope. Tn tho contrary, tho
time was not far distant when every Govern
mcnt would be compelled to atrain Ill Its
strength for securing It's existence. Tic reason
for this was tho segretablo distruss Of Govern
mcuts towards each other. Francs had made
great strides in her defeuacs. UncominonIy

dispatch gives additional quotations frou, Gen.
Moltkc's speech yesterday. The General stated
that tho French military budget exceeded the
German By IL, ,0oo. .0o0 francs year, exclusive
Of extraordinary grants. Ic would not dlscuss
tho question whether France intended to
bcar thts enormous burden for 4 prolonged
period, o. whether sho was zrminZ for definite
purposes, but he must needs aay that, u much
a. he desired peace, he did not beltcyc IN It.
French Journals were full Of spite aud hatred
a&alnst Germany. France rekpcsnbeyed how many
ttmes sho had Invaded dlsuntted Germany. The
French apprchcnded similar treatment now that
Germany was united. uence tho haste, Eesl,
and uncommon intelligence With which the
co]ossal work Of French army reorganization
was being completed. Homes the To-
eating OF excessively large numbers
OF French troops especially cavalry and
artillery, between Parta and the German frontier,

later be obliged to recipzocatc. In France the
army was tho pride Of all political parties. its
defeats were forgotten. mud it, future

Germany thcro was 4 marked. disposition To bo
