PARIS. Oct. 31.-The offices OF the news
papers OF Nationalist tendencies displayed the
flags OF the Transvaal and Orange Free State
when the news Of tho British disaster at Lady
smith was received.
The French press dsvotes more attention to
the High Court proceedings against the
alleged oonsplrators against the State than
to tho defeat OF Gen. White. the British
commander In Natal. whose manly acknowl-
sdgment OF blame has earned for him consid-
cradle forbearance from Frenchmen. the
Gauiois even saying that like q true English
man he sacrifices himself to avoid discrediting
the Queens soldiers and to avoid eomproms-
Ing his flags honor.
Tho Ersnenent says that tho English defeat
teaches France bitter lesson. The easy way
in which the Beers beat tho British shows that
had France boldly answered England at the
time OF the Fashoda dispute the tricolor would
have remained on the Nile.
The Mutin speaks highly Of the calm mann er
In which the news OF the disaster was received
In England.
