NEWS OF THE WEEK.
THE news from Frankfort is most unsatisfactory. It is said that the French are paying their indemnity too rapidly for German satisfaction, that Prince Bismarck objects toretire from Paris even if the third half milliard is paid, because order is not fully restored, a phrase supposed to conceal great dislike to Republican institu- tions. The semi-official Correspondenz of Berlin .of Wednesday utters an unmistakable and most ominous threat :—"A satis- factory settlement of the Frankfort negotiations as speedily as possible is urgently necessary., So soon as people in France cease their system of provocation, which endangers the continuance of peace, the evacuation of French territory will proceed accordingly as the French Government fulfils its obligations." This refers, it is believed, to the language of the French Prose, which is no doubt truculent, but for which a less sensitive enemy would, we think, make excuses. It is rather hard to beat a man nearly to death, and then threaten him with imprisonment for being in a rage.
