PARIS, September goth, 1884,
France is Substantially, diplomatic
onv and politically. She has too many
doctors, and INDUCES in too many
recipes. In 1870, she might. in a SENSE
10 said TO have allies who would not
hesitate to rush in where angels feared
To tread. She had REAL sympdthizers
even among those who condemned the
criminal declaration of war by Napoleon
TIL. and its selfish aim-the prevention
of the unifcation of Germany. But
where is she now2 Russia, by the gov
eminent Aesesse- -Gazette, has over and
over again reminded France she was
not her ally, having when the occasion
came been always her foe besides being
too unstable for a reliable friendship.

Keep aioof and England has settled
down into a business profound indiffer-
ence. And yet this extremely delicate
position does not prevent the French
nress. and such VIGOROUSLY ministerial
organs as the Paris, and the National,
from indulging in abusive rant which
.Heniates impartial men, while only
Tenresenting the ignorance and. Inle6-
berencv of the hysterical writers. Sensi-
bic and reflective people in France are
gradually withdrawingfrom even saiu--
farv politics. 1t has become a mere
sOeculation; a1,pE0fesslOn where baYl7-

No light has yet been thrown on what
the designs of France are respecting
China. The nation is heartily sick OF
the whole affair, and NJ. Ferry, would

France, and so confuse her finances and
military organization. II we know very
little about the intentions of France, we
know less about the projects of the
Chinese. N. Ferry promises grand
coup, by COurbet, for, the close of the.
month. This would seem that the Ad
miral, like Trochu has also his plan"
The probabilities are that the coming

fight over demands TO know, how the
money goes, and where are We now?
