ENCITED FRENCHMEN.

Abandoned the Most Glorious OF Mon
archies-M. ChallemeI-Lacour'sS Speech.
In the French Senate during the debate
on the budget NJ. Chullemel- Lacour said the
present was not the moment to consider
French finances but the future OF France.
He condemned the policy now pursued in the
schools. which. he said. struck at the root Of
the traditional principle Of parental control.
The main cause Of existing evils he de-
clared. was radicalsm. which relentlessly
pursued the old founders OF the republic and
gave promises that were impossible TO full
fill. France had abandoned the most glori-
Gus Of monarchies. and was about TO fall al
the feet of the least of mon. The Cabinets
duty was TO check the movement toward
the abyss. but instead Of doing this the
Cabinet were fastening the movement.
1t was time to return TO II policy OF good
sense He appealed to the Right TO unite
with the party of the Left. which was the
upholder OF order and liberty. and together
save the country. The speech created
II sensation. and at its conclusion the Sen
ate arose en- masse and enthusiastically
cheered the orator.

The gunboats dropped anchor four or five
miles off the shore. lying broadside to tho
town. and fired blank cartridges to give
notice OF their warlike intentions. The
foreign Consuls in the city petitioned for
time to get out OF the city. and were given
thirty-siA hours. The people fed into the
hills, taking all the possessions they could
conveniently carry. loading their effects
on the backs OF mules. and as the sup
ply of pack-mues was limited TO fifty or
sixty. fabulous prices were paid for thcir
use. The bamboo huts succumbed easily
to the shots from the boats: but tho stone

portion OF the town were not so easily de-
stroyed. the heavy walls resisting the fire

"What is his plan of annexation"
"He believes the United States can
and should receive Canada in peace
able manner. His idea is that the terri
tory can be annexed to the United States
by assuming Canada's debt. If the terri,
tory cannot be obtained for the considera.
ton, think Gen. Harrison would favor
