TnR AMNESTY BILL.

PARIS, February 1.-THE Cabinet to.
day decided to reject the first clause OF
the committees amnesty bill, which ex-
tends the benefits OF the bill to all persons
convicted OF crimes and Of offenses in con-
nection with political acts. TIE Minister
OF Justice afterwards had an interview
with the committee lasting three hours,
but the committee adhered to the original
draft. The committees report was read
to-day in the Chamber, which fixed the
debate on the bill for Thursday. Minister
De Mercere, replying to a question said /:
Paris municipalities vote OF 100000
francs to aid in returning communists
was excellent in its object, but faulty as
regards legal form. The Government
would propose similar grant" De AIer-
cere appealed to the Chamber to place
confidence in the Government and thus
dispel the ,disquietude inherent in the
first stages Of the Republic. This remark
raised protests from tho Left.
The Republicans were successful yes
terday in the Departments Of Gard and
Haute Loire.

LONDON, February 17.--Later telegrams
from Madeira give news from Pietermaritz-
burg. II Is stated that on the morning oil
the 9th Of January, Lord Chelmsford was
then at Maritzburg in conference with the
Governor, Sir Bartle Frere. All was quiet
at the front and the feeling was much
calmer. The Zulus had been repulsed
from the front on the lower Tugel. The
report that Lord Chelmsford had retired
upon Helpneakaar Is unfounded. Captain
Stafford and Lieutenant Davis Of the
native contingent, who escaped from the
disaster at Colonel Geynn's camp, speak
highly OF the conduct Of all engaged and
the courage and tirmness OF the native con-
tingent-thus disposing OF the report Of
mutiny and massacre OF the officers BY the
native soldiers. iff ~
The Times says It Is probable that a bri-
gade Of all armes will be dispatched from
India to reinforce Lord Chelmsford. The
Fitty.seventh Foot will leave Columbo,
Ceylon, tomorrow, and may be expected
at Port Durham, Natal, March 10th. in
theIneantime Lord Chelmsford has already
been reinforced by one company OF the
Eighty.eighth regiment from st. Helena,
and by three hundred men OF the Second
battalion OF the Fourth regiment from
Cape Town. This will bring up his in.
fantry force TO nearly the same strength
that 1t was prior to the disaster OF the I'D
