London. July 2s.-The disgrace OF Gen
eral de Negrier has created a profound
impression. not only In France. but all
over Europe, and has brought into prcTni-
nent notice the depth Of the civil as well
as the military courage possessed by the
new French minister Of war, General
Marquis de Gallifet. Before him the
pasteboard patriots who threatened terri
BILE vengeance with the army If they were
thwarted by the republic, doubled up and

been found to suppress the real traducers
or and shamed its uniforms by chicanery
and intrigue. It is symbolic of the change
in the situation to see General de Pellieux

they furnished. obtained a judicial sepa-
ration from her. Whe masked by General

been lying and hence the punishment i'm
posed upon him was in even greater de-
gree than 1t would otherwise have been.
