The Situation in Franco.

PARIS, January 17.-The ministerial state
ment has generally produced an unfaYora-
BILE impression. The Journal deS De6dtS
regrets that the Government did not en-
ploy more animated and cordial language.
It saws ain reading their declaration one
might believe that nothing bad happened
in France for a long time, whereas only a
week ago the Republic was established"
The RepubHque Franchise says: "The
Government must rely only upon the siSnl-
ficance Of their acts and the frankneSs Oh
their attitude, as the declaration Will be OF
no assistance to Them"
The Dir NeuUieme Steele says: "The
Government spoke for twenty minutes With
out pronouucing Il single word that they
ought to have spoken. The language OF the
ministry is not new programme, tut Il
simple exposition OF the situation. or re-
port OF parliamentary proceedings"
/ The Blyqro says :'Tbc Ministerial state
'ment is Il political testament which will not
preyent the fall OF the Cabinet" 80.

praise the Government programme.
