NEWS OF THE WEEK.
-4--
WE publish this week, as we have once or twice done before, two intentionally different views of the French situation,— one despondent, one hopeful. The two together will not perhaps produce a fairer impression than one unprejudiced estimate, butthey will produce a fuller one. The balance of our own judgment, .though still undecided, inclines slightly towards the more favour- able view, Paris showing strange powers of developing order in the interest of disorder.
