THE REAL CAUSE OF DE FREYcfNcT's YALL.
LONDON, September FLA correspon-
dent at Paris says: "The real cause OF
NJ. de Freycincps fall was his foreign poll
cy, and II was resolved upon the day he oD-
posed General TbOmassin's mission to
Greece; as also more de6nitiyely on bis re-
plying to the disquieting Cherbourg pro-
gramme by the pacific Montauban pro-
gramme; hence the crisis, and everybody

gram Company says: GAN the Paris papers

THE GERMAN PRESS on TIE CRISIS.
The Berlin correspondent OF the Times
telegI apis that the chief subject OF discus
sion in the German papers is the ministerial
crisis in Paris. Journals OF all shades OF
opinion are fairly unanimous in expressing
suspicion and dread Of NJ. Gambetta. The
| North German Gazette has not yet bad time
to receive the order OF the day from the
Fsreign Office, but the independent papers
have fairly anticipated all that the Govern
ment is likely TO say, or even TO think. on
the subject. The National Zeitung (Liberal)
says: "ln no case will the crisis be inter-
preted as a peaceful symptom. The policy
OF revenge alluded TO in NJ. Gambet-
ta's speech at CherbouTg seems to be
again In the foreground" The Tag
bLat (LiberaD says: Germany knows
too well that men like NJ. Waddington
and NJ. de Freycinct, with their independ-
ence OF character, constituted in their
quality OF Ministers OF Foreign Affairs
more valuable pledges Of good neighbor-
hood with us and Of peace in Europe than
the new men, who are really only MARION
cites OF NJ. Gambetta, the apostle OF re-
venge against Germany. The Ultramon-
tame question in the crisis was really whe-
ther the policy OF moderation observed in
domestic and foreign affairs shall he re-
placed by policy OF force" The ReichS-
bOte Conservative says: in summoning
this ministry President Grevy is digging
his own grave. NJ. Gsmbetta will before
long have filled all the ministerial and diplO-
matte posts with his creatures, and be will
then replace NJ. CHEVY. NJ. Gambetta's
name signifies war TO the knife against the
Church and revenge against Germany"
