Congress.

In response to the recommendstions ofthe President and the Secretary of theNary, a bill has passed the House pro-viding for the construction of six warvessels, carrying ten or less guns each, jand adopted by 104 to 67. The number Irecommended in th« bill reported from Ithe Committee on Naval Affairs was ten.but the House reduced this to six. There

Mr. Garfield's amendment, which pro-

vides that no contract or order for con-

struction shall be made until full detailed

estimates have been submitted to Con-

gress and appropriations made therefor,

virtually prevents the construction of the

vessels for a year at least. There are a

THE HI8T0BIC BATTLE FI.AGS.

A sickly sentimentalty has taken po

Senators in the shape of an effort to

have the names of the battles for

The Situation of France .

Since the close of the Franco-Prussian

war, comparatively little attention

been paid to the affairs of France by the

common reader. Important events, how-

ever, have transpired there, and that

country is at this very time passing one

•of the most critical periods in its event-

ful history. The question as to which

form of government France shall settle

upon, whether Republican or Monarch-

ical, seems to be rapidly pressing itself to

a final settlement; but whether it BhaU

be arrived at peaceably or through

war is very uncertain. There is little

doubt that the prevailing sentiment of

the people of Fiance is in favor of a

public. This sentiment has been gr<

strengthened since the war by the grand

success of the temporary Republic under

President Thiers, which has paid off the

debt at a fabulous rate, *nd given pro-

found peace and quiet, and almost un-

«qualed prosperity to all sections oi

France. People in that country, as in

this, judge oi a goverment or adminis-

tration, by its general results, and judg-

ing thus the people are satisfied. JSot

«o, however, with the French Assembly,

which hae onmistakbly a majority in f

cf a Monarchy,' though divided a

what Monarchy.

President Thiers is a conservative Re-

publican and probably the ablest states-

man of France. He recently urged upon

the Assembly the necessity of appoint-

ing a committee to define some meat

of organjo law for the new governn

A motion ol that kind prevailed, and it

was <Jonsider.ed a yictory for Thiers ; but

when the committee, composed of thirty,

was announced it w&s found to contain

19 Monarchists and only 11 Republicans.

This put a very dubious phase on thi

future government. If it were possibli

for Thiers to dissolve the Assembly, a

new one might be elected which w

be Republican. This is quite evident

a the the fact that in the electioi

Ting in different partsof France of late, the Republicans havein nearly all instances elected their men.rrai TUiers lias no authority to dissolvethe Assembly, nor power to do it withoutthe army to sustain, which he has not, asthe aimy, or its commanders, at least,are no doubt in sympathy with theMonarchists.

The results of tiie deliberations 0{ thecommittee of thirty will be watched foiwith great anxiety.
