PoIitica in France.

The haste exhibited by the French
chamber OF deputies to pass a vote OF con.
fdence in the government, and the sudden.
ness with which the members OF both sides
OF the chamber have decided that they will
unite with the government in revising the
constitution, affords much amusement to
the adherents OF Boulanger. who regard
the new departure with compIacency
born OF knowledge OF their power. The
chamber is undoubtedly struggling hard to
maintain its position, and having become
thoroughly aroused to the new danger
that threatens the existence of that insti.
tuition. the members are trying to make
some bid for popularity. il perchance the
evil may be warded off. Nevertheless, sud.
den virtue on their part will hardly salts
fy the country, which believes that these
sts stsn p"es are for mercy hs snHss
before the Boulanger program is
launched. 1t will be an exceed.
ingly difficult matter for the authorities to
restrain the mobs, which, with true French
fckleness, shouted themselves hoarse not
long ago for Carnot, and now have become
wild over their new ideal Bpulanger! Even
il troops and police are massed about the
city, they will have little effect upon the
eager crowds OF enthusiastic partlsans of
the general.

ovation on his way to the chamber OF fdepu-

carriage, was cheered by the immense
crowd that was assembled outside the par.

thronged, and much excitement prevailed.
All OF the political groups in the chamber
held reunions. The Extreme Lett adopted
resolutions repudiatina the plehiscite and

proved an entente with the gov.
