THE FRENCH CRISIS.
[Special to Press Association.] PARIS, Jan. 23. The excitement over the election of the President is quieting down. M. Faure is said to be strongly sympathetic with England. On Jan. 20 M. Bourgeoise was summoned to form a Cabinet in succession to M. Dupuy, who resigned. He undertook the task, and gave forth as his programme pledges of concentration and Republic union. He has selected as his colleagues—M. Oavaignac, Minister of War ; M. Shumann, Minister of Marine; M. Peytral, Minister of Public Works ; M. Poincaire, Minister of Finance; M. HanotauX, Minister of Foreign Affairs. Two days later he announced that he was unable to complete his Ministry, and attributed bis nonsuccess to the fact that several of his colleagues objected to a progressive income tax. At the request of the President he renewed his efforts, but finally abandoned the task yesterday. The newiy-elected President, in an interview, said France required a strong and dignified peace. He was proud of the revival of political feeling, because it would enable the country to co-operate in the harmony of nations. Her foreign policy would be unchanged, whatever section of the Republicans took the lead.
