The state Of affairs in Mandalay is Great
Ing grave anxiety. The garrisons in British

forty, the killing was attended by every
possible atrocity. The victims were beaten
and kicked. The women were shamefully
abused. The royal princes were reserved
to the last and made to witnoss the torture
and death of their families. The bodies Of
all the victims wero thrown into old wells.

LONDON, March IL, 1879.
The Rtpubiiquc Frdneaise, of Paris, pro
noufces decidedly against the impeachment of
the DE Brogie-Fourtou Ministry. 1t says
1.-THE report of the committee, while ably group
ing the acts Of the men who openly revoltcd
against the national will, reveals no new facts,
and though the accused richly deserve to be
tried, the prosecution would be big with
Inconvenience, not to say peril. Even If
the Senate gave n verdict of guilty, u
trivial sentence could only result Paris
correspondent says:-''This opinion, which is
doubtless M. Gambctta's, WILL think, turn the
scale. The moderate papers, such rs the Jour
nal dcs D<bats, the Temps and the SOir argue
that the multitude of misdcmeanors committed
by the De Broglie Ministry are sufficiently pun
ishcd by the failure of most Of them; and more
over, they are barred by the statute of limita-
tions. AS for the charge against the Roche
bouet Cabinet Of organizing coup detaf al
though the moral proof is strong, there is much
doubt whether an overt act could be legally es-
tablishcd. The telcgraphic correspondence Of tho
ROchebOuet Cabinet was most remarkable. Thus
General dc Grimaudct-le-ROchc recon-
mended the commandant at Lyons to deprive
all private persons of arms He telegraphed
the comnlandant ut Toulouse, Il am told the
Ninth regiment cannot be counted on General
Ducrot, OH being informed that the first attempt
to form liberal Cabinet had failed telcgraphs to
General dc Grimaudctdc -RochebOuet his thanks,
adding May God and MacMahon be glorifed.'
On December II General de Grimaudet-de- Roche
bouet tclegraphs to the commandant at Rem
nes, 'Endeavor to be ready ON Thursday.
The troops should take all their camp
cquipagc' On the 18th of December, the day
when the Dufaure Cabinet was formed, General
dc Rochcbouet telegraphs to Bordeaux:-'Pray
warn, confidentially, at headquarters. Stop oil
preparations The report says:-Presidcnt

ened by events did not follow to the end the Dc
testable counsels Of his Minister'S"
In the Chamber Of Deputies yesterday the
election of NJ Fourtou, Of the Ministry of the
10th OF May, to scat in the Chamber was con-
frmcd It now appears certain that the gov
ernment will have majority on Thursday
impeachment, even if the entire Right abstain
from voting.
A Paris despatch to the Standard says it is be-
lieved the feeling of irritation in tho country
against the factous conduct of the radicals is rs
strong as that against the Ministry of the 10th

A despatch from Paris to the Daily Nescs

that the financial measures, ut least will be laid
