FRANCE AND GERMANY.
OMINOUS APPEARANCES. [EY ELECTRIC TELE GRAPH-COPYRIGHT.] [Reuter’s Telegrams.] [Received Dec, 6, at 1 a.m.] BERLIN, Dec, 4, In the Reichstag yesterday, in presenting a Bill for the increase of the German Army, Herr Brosart stated that, although there was no immediate danger of war, the want of control exhibited by a large portion of the French people prevents the people of Germany from living in peace and contentment. Ho declared that the increase in the Array was imperative, in order that it might be on an equality with the French Army. In the Reichstag yesterday, Count von Moltke, in discussing the Army Bill, declared that an alliance with the French, such as would ensure the maintenance of European peace, was impossible while the French demanded the surrender of the Provinces, which Germany would never renounce. He disclaimed any idea of conquest, but declared that Germany would keep those Provinces which she already possesses.
