The concessions England is willing

provinces may latter French self. love,

sation for the advantages which Francs
will lose. The Paris Temps, the semi.
official organ of the republic, admits
that the English have been careful to
place their actions in the least offensive
manner, and hold, that Gladstone, In
pronouncing the deposition of France
In Egypt, is merely obeyipg public
opinion. The English are pursuing
an egotistical, ambitious and short.
sighted policy, but the French cham
Der encouraged British usurpation
when 1t proclaimed Its indiffer-
ence to the obligations of for

vises the French nation to swallow
the bitter pill without making any
grimace; but declares that the rela.
tons Of France with England can
scarcely issue uncooled from a tran
saction in which England has mani

which no proceeding on the part of
France warrants. Our feeling, it con-
tinues, must be tempered by the
thought that we ourselves are half to

the article says in conclusion, will
prove only half an evil If we profit BY
it in the future. 1t is absolutely
necessary to convince the French

Lord Derby's scheme of emigration
for the Irish lie being pushed by the
British government with a good deal
of vigor. Major Gaskell has been ia
Boston comforting with the Irishmen
as to the propriery of establishing a
"boarding house" or great v
sary there for Irish emigrants under
the care of a man" to be procured for
$500 or $780," whose duties would
also be to procure employment for
his boarders. A wilder scheme could
not be conceived of, and we do not
wonder that the Irish are opposed to
it, both here and in Ireland. 1t would
be a most shiftless and short sighted
of Englandto gather u thepoor-
est communities in Ireland en- masse
and attempt to transplant them to this
country. Our state department would
most certainly object unless the Brit
ish government undertook to buy
land for them and see them through
to the frat harvest, and, If they arc
going to do that at all, they might as
we'll do it in the unsettled parts of Ire
land. The Irish emigration to this
country has been of far higher q
age than we should get by any suoh
scheme, for we have really drafted off
the young men and women of most
and push. To transfer a
community here, with it's unual
proportion Of aged, decrepit, feeble,
pauperizsd and criminal, would be an
to which our government
would object most s.renuously. In
fact, immigration from any quarter of
the globe has ceased TO be an object
Of cultivation by this country.
