THE PREMIER's APPEAL.
PARIS, Jan. 27.-M. Gambetta's speech in the

much discussed. The attempt has been made to
show in comments upon this correspondence,
that the Secretary presumed to inaugurate radical

dent Garfield. The dates Of the correspondence
alone show that such a charge is without f0nn-

tjoa Of National policy, has had the personal know-
edge, personal Inspection and personal approval of
