LONDON, Jan. 1.-The Pail Mall Ga.
Sette publishes an article from the pen
Of M. Flourens, formerly the French
minister for foreign affairs, upon the
Venezuelan controversy. Commenting
upon it, the Pail Mall Gazette says:

u. Flourens says says:
N~Nt.The French do not believe in the
rebability of war, as both the United
States and Great Britain are prone to
weigh profit and loss. Moreover we
are accustomed to the cool prudence of
England, which will increase in proper
ton as the youthful impetuosity Of the
United States gives itself free course.
Would Like to See Arbitration.
France is far more disposed to accept
the Monroe doctrine than you in Eng
land, but we reserve anterior rights and
do not agree with President Cleveland's
conception Of arbitration. We French
are great advocates of arbitration and
would gladly sec it extended to all in
irrational disputes. Notably, we be-
ieve that difficulties such as may arise
between the American republics and
European states are all of anature to be
settled by arbitration to the great ad-
vantage of the parties interested. To
this effect we should like to see per-
manent tribunal of arbitration erected.

procedure which is out Of place in our
epoch. Unless she believes she is face
