soon to resign, and they spoke to-day
Of the possible effect Of his death on
the courts of Europe.
If M. Loubet be elected European
sovereigns would soon transfer to him
their friendly regards. He is a good,
unaffected, level-headed man of hon

culture than poor Faure. He is an
advocate and practiced at the Monte
Malar bar, in the department Of Drom.
