De Freycinet's ResignatiOn-Opinfo of
 the Press.
 PARIS, Sept 2O.-This morning nearly all the papers applaud the resignation of M. de Freyeinet. The Eoe'aement says: ''In the midst of the compromises of which we are spectators we are glad to see man of M. de Freycinet's worth bring to the support of his opinions an integrity and character which threaten to become extinct among us. The new ministry, should it prove retrograde or stationary will not last month. Should it be progressive it will open the new Parlia- ment. D
 The Repu6Ggae FrGncGise is a notable ex- ception to the journals offering tributes of esteem to the fallen minister. It says that M de Freyeinet's policy, instead of being parliamentary, has become at once personal and occult.
 Le Mot q O1dge naliciously observes that the resignation of the ministry advances the hour when, in spite of his resistance and irmness, M. Gambetta must resign himself to assume power.
 The press of Berlin in their comments of the French ministerial crisis express their suspicion of M. Gambetta.
 M. Gambetta will shortly make 8 specific speech.
