END OF THE FRENCH CRISIS.
PARIS, Feb. 25.--1he joint efforts of specu-
lators and reactionnries to protract the French
crisis collapsed with the formation of the
Ferry ministry. Nothing further is now heard
of the imminence of q revolution. The situa.
tion remains strained from the antagOnism OF
chamber and senate, but NJ. Ferry has secured
for the present u working majority in the
chamber of deputies by bestowing majority
of the portfolios Oh Gambettists and radicals
The ministerial programme, however, pro
duces doubtful impression in Europe geu-
orally, mainly because it is believed that the
cabinet means to push unfounded colonial pre-
tentiOns in Africa, Asia, and the South Seas

Jerome complained that he was watched by
spies He has sent his most valuable property
to England anticipating flight thither.
