NEWS OF THE WEEK.
THE marked symptom in French politics just now is languor. The Reds are languidly revolutionary in Paris, the Govern- «meta is languidly trying to repress them, the Assembly is languidly treactionary in deed though furious in talk, and the people are languidly savage against Germans. The truth seems to be, that 'the Government of France when out of Paris loses "go," and we are glad for that, as well as other reasons, that the Assembly is -about to be transferred to Versailles. The Committee appointed 'to consider the question not only reported in favour of Fontaine- =Mean, but in favour of remaining in Bordeaux till the Germans thad quitted France ; and the Assembly, but for the influence of M. niers, would have voted in this sense. He, however, declared =the transfer to Versailles a political necessity, the Assembly yielded, and by 1st April will be sitting in the Palace. M. '111siers will also be housed there, but the Departments, the Em- bassies, and the Army Head-quarters will be transferred to Paris at once.
