IT is said that Gambetta is privately
urging the French government to ac-
tive military measures against Tunis,
and his efforts in that direction seem
to be quite successful, Notwithstanding
the efforts of some members Of the
French cabinet. This Tunis business
seems to be a very queer affair. Thus
we learn that the French consulgener-
nj has again assured the Bey Of the pa
ciic intentions Of France, while at the
same time urging him to accept II
rench protectorate, and while the
French army is in the possession of
some of his territory. The French con
