We have commented elsewhere on the three addresses published during

the week by M. Grdvy, M. Gambetta, and the Duke de Broglie, but must add here that M. Gambetta has also made a =speech to the electors of Belleville, in which he denied that he Was oPPosing his own pretensions to the Marshal's, or aspired to be President, attacked the clericals with vehemence, but ex- pressed a strong confidence that there would be no revolution. "Revolutions do not break out when France has spoken." The Tunes' correspondent in Paris saw reason to believe that he would make a speech upon foreign policy, and indicate his opinion that an alliance between Germany, France, and England would best secure the future ; but he made no allusion to any such plan, and it is just possible that the correspondent was informed by men who secretly intended to discredit the Republican leader. France is not prepared for a German alliance, though it is quite possible that M. Gam- belts, in his zeal against Ultramontanes, may not be so entirely disinclined for one. As yet, the Republicans sum up their foreign policy in the word " peace."
