stances, to form IL stable government is by
q union OF the two Republican sections Of
the chamber, as | am afraid the radical
Left minority will not defer to the desires
| oil the moderate Left majority regarding
governmental measures. Europe has
hitherto been enabled to live ongood terms
with the French republic, but the republic
| Of tomorrow may differ from the republic
ofyesterday. Ifthc Conservatives use their
comparative victory solely in the interest
OF the country they may easily contribute

relations OF France with the rest of Europe.

forces to disturb the situation and call in
to question the established order OF things,
France would enter into period oi
troubles and agitations, and would re-
| quire the closest watching by foreign states
| men. Every oscillation in France at the
present time makes Il sensible difference in
the political calculations which now occupy
| the attention OF Europe.
