A FEELING OF DIsMAY IN PARIS
PARIS, June 16.--It is useless TO deny
! that under cover of assumed confidence tn
> death of Emperor Frederick has caused
: feeling very much like dismsy. ltwa
, impossible not to notice the silent agita
,ion which pervaded the Chamber o
IDENTITIES when His Majesty's decease wa
O announced.
II is worthy of remark that not singI
journal published an exaggerated state
ment or premature account OF the deat
J. oC Enperor Frederick. He was respecte'
more as lover of peace, and mingled wit
the expressions of sorrow at his death ar
II dismal specula,ions as 10 the political COZ
:. seouences. Rightly or wrongly the ne'
II Emperor is regarded as being animated b
hitter hatred Of France and desire
( render his reign memorableby fresh laurel
y culled upon the battlefield at the expens
- of his hereditary foe.
70 The Paris papers, without exception
g express deep sympathy for the bereave
