THE POLICY OF FRANCE.
From the Times

On Tuesday Goth ApriD the
French Chambers re-assembled in
Paris. Although only formal bust
ness was transacted political interest
was not wanting. NJ. de Freycinet's
circular to the diplomatic representa-
tives of France was published in the
Paris evening papers of the same
day, and is already" our Correspon-
dent says, "producing an excellent
effect" The meaning and the objects
of the circular will become, no doubt,
the subject of general speculation
throughout Europe. Such documents
are not issued by Governments with
out good cause. Even the personal
behaviour, not to speak of the public
and formal %utterances, of diplomatists
is presumed to be governed by high
and weighty considerations of policy.
But when we examine the substance
of NJ. de Freycinet's circular we fail
to find in any of the grave questions
upon which he touches an issue of
immediate urgency calling for the
active interference of France. r.
deed, NJ. de Freycinet's survey of the
European situation may not unfairly
be described as optimist. He shows
what good progress has been made,
inspite ofmany difficulties, towards ''the
peaceful solution depending questions"
which, as he says, is to be attained
through "the strict execution of trea-
ties" We must, therefore, look else
where for the inspiring motive of this
remarkable manifesto; nor is it diff
cult to fix upon it. The foreign poll
cy Of France under the present Co
vernment is, M. de Freycinet insists,
"a policy Of peace and conciliation."
This has been proved in the past, and
it is promised for the future. It can
hardly be doubted that these assu-
lances are intended to confute and dis
pei the alarmist rumour which have
been lately propagated, especially in
Germany, and which have attributed
to the Republican Government in
France designs of European distur-
bance. When NJ. Waddington's
Ministry was o~verthrown the fears of
Conservative Europe were once more
excited by French Republication.
u. de Freycinet, it was said, was only
, 1880-05-26

to the sword. If M. de Freycinet is
sincere, the panic which is periodical
ly revived in Germany by rumours
of the coming revamche cannot be
thought justifable. 1t is impossible
to suppose that he is not sincere. If
he were not, and if the French people
were really bent at this moment upon
throwing Europe into confusion, a
Minister addressing, ven indirectly,
an excitable democracy would hardly
go out of his way to declare that
France ought to busy herself only
with the useful lessons of the past.
When such calm and prudent coun-
sells can be put forward as accepted
maxims of policy by the First Minis
ter of the French Republic, we have
reason to congratulate Europe upon
the Strengthening of the international
guarantees for peace.
It is to be noticed. also, that NJ. de
Freycinet shows himself sensitive to
the criticisms which have been freely
passed in foreign countries upon the
anti-Jesuit DEGREES. He protests that
those measures were dictated by
reasons Exclusively Of a domestic
kind" There is no intention of as
suming a hostile attitude towards the
Church, or even of abandoning the
traditional solicitude of the French
Government for religious interests in
the East. This assurance is regarded,
our Correspondent tells us, as "a
pledge of moderation" at home and
abroad, and it completes the distinc-
ton between Republican policy, as
it is understood by NJ. de Freycinet,
and the revolutionary ideas with
which his Ministry has been credited
in some quarters. There is, in fact,
nothing in the attitude Of M. de
Freycinet's Cabinet which is in the
least degree inconsistent with his
assertion hat he has followed, and
intends to follow, the line marked out
by NJ. Theirs for the legitimate acti-
witty of France. The requirements"
of the country, according to N. de
Freycinet, imperatively prescribe this
course. 1t is not always that states
manship thus frankly and courage
ously recognizes facts. and France
will gain, not lose, in real strength
and in true dignity by the recogni-
ton. This country is peculiarly con-
cerned in the maintenance of such a
policy by our nearest neighbour.
For more than a generation the
establishment of a good understand
ing between France and England has
been regarded by statesmen in both
countries as a main security for the
peace Of Europe, for public law, and
for French no less than for English
interests. When the policy of France
is calm, moderate, and, in the best
sense of the word, Conservative, this
understanding is easily established
and preserved. So long as the prin-
ciples and the spirit which charac-
terize N. de Freycinets circular pre-
vail in the counsels of the French
Republic we can have no reason for
relaxing the bonds Of good will and
of common interests which unite the

successor, the all-powerfula though
irresponsible controller Of his public
conduct, could be- no other than NJ.
Gambetta, in whom "the "Revolu-
ton" was personifed and the reuanche
inearnated. Revolutionary policy in
France has generally been a subver-
sive element in European affairs, and,
assuming that NJ. de Freycinet was,
or must become, a revolutionary
Minister, alarmists construed the
change of Government at Paris as a
menace to the public peace. Rumour
was followed up by rumour, each
wilder than the last, though some
obtained so much currency as to be
discussed during the debates on the
German Army Bill in the Reichstag,
An alliance between France and
Russia, with a view to "reUendicati0nS"
on the Rhine and on the Danube, and
an aggressive counter-movement on
the part of Germany and Austria,
were among the least irrational OF
these conjectures. Then the Hart
mann incident gave rise to a new crop
of ingenious AMI far-fetched specula-
tons. France, it was whispered, was
drifting into open sympathy and CO.
operation with the most daring and
determined enemies of social order,
and her Government vas returning to
the traditions of 1898.
1t would be impossible for any self
respecting Government to reply
directly to such vague and idle impu-
t%ations; but NJ. de Freycinet's circu-
lar, without departing from a digniied
reserve, must show all thinking men
that the policy of France, at any rate,
affords no excuse for the propagation
Of mischievous and rapidly multiply
ing panics. The present Ministry has,
as its chief points out, policy of its
own, clearly marked and firmly pur-
sued. 1t is not the pale shadow of
external opinions. 1t is not revolu-
tionary in the Of being hostile
to the established order of things in
other countries. NJ. de Freycinet goes
virtually so far as to claim for his
administration the character of a con
sentative force il Europe, and the
very fact that he makes this claim
is a proof hat the French Re-
public of our day is identical in
name only with the Republic of 1898,
or even with the Republic of 1S48.
If, as has been alleged, the recent
political changes in France have for
ced the Government of the Republic
far down the perilous slope beyond
which lies the abyss of ultra-democra-
tic anarchy, NJ. de Freycinet would
scarcely venture, as he does, to
declare that bis policy is neither more
mol less than the cautious, moderate,
and watchful policy of "the illus
trious NJ. Theirs" Not only does
M. de Freycinet thus accept M.
Thiers's sagacious conservatism in
all its consequences, but he expresses
on his own account a decided and
very significant opinion hat the conn
try, continuing to mediate, should
think of the past only to derive there
from useful lessons" 1t would be

A Russian Story.

Among the stories which are told at
st. Petersburg of the attempts made by
the Nihilists to penetrate into the winter
palace is the following: Gen. Gourko,
when governor of st. Petersburg, had
the right of entering at any time into the
emperor room without being announced.
Once, however, the doorkeeper, seeing
something unusual abouthis appearance,
stopped him, saying itwould benecessary
to inform the emperor of his arrival.
The general objected at first, but, find
ing that the doorkeeper only grow more
suspicious, ultimately agreed to his be-
ing announced. The doorkeeper then
told the emperor of his doubts; upon
which the latter went to writing-table
in his room, which was connected by
telegraph with Gen. GoUrko's residence,
and telegraphed, "Where is Gourko p
cat home,' was the reply. This, OF
course settled the point; the false Gourko
was at once arrested, and turned out to
be member of the revolutionary COM
mittee

The Miser's Subterfuue,

v, a stingy old skinfint, who would
pinch quarter till the eagle shrieked,
was recently left a large fortune through
the death of a sister, In order to cure
him of his grasping and misery habits
she had inserted conditional clause in
her will, by which he was to inherit her
property only on agreeing to give five
franc piece every day to the first beggar
whom he encountered on the street.
For time he dared not disobey this last
INDUCTION of his deceased sister. The
first beggar whom he met in the morning
was sure to receive five franc piece,
though it racked his soul with untold
fortunes to part with it, Finally, how
ever, his misery disposition could bear
it no longer, and he resorted to an ex-
pedient: Every night he gave his house
keeper five franc piece, telling her to
give it to the first beggar she saw in the
morning. Disgusting himself as beg
gar, he waited till she appeared the next
day, when he appealed to her for aims in
pitiful voice, and the coin fell into his
hands,
