which is nearly up TO the roadway of
the Westminster bridges, PUSHES into the
lake. carrying down large quantities of
brush woods. boards and timbers. The
yellow lake is overhung by sleepy
mist, above which clouds hang
heavy ard dark. threatening to re-
new their work of destruction.

against this proceeding. The flags
of all foreign )nsuls wers hauled down.

currences / can now only say that We |
must await the receipt of further details. |
We must also await those communica-
ti0ns from the French Government, |

would be our duty to make under SIM

by cheers.
GladstOae's Statements.
LONDON, July 1.-THE statement of
Gladstone in the Commons today pro-
duoed a painful impression in the house.
While the proceedings of the French
are calculated to strain the present re-
lations Of England and France, it is not
generally believed that serious rupture
will ensue. No reply to the demand
upon the French government for ex-
plantations, made by the British Foreign
Secretary has been received up to the
hour of adjournment. 1t is generally
expected, when all the facts are known,
that the French government will express
regret for the occurrences complained
