NEWS OF THE WEEK.
THE French Government is obviously alarmed at the intrigues of the Bonapartists, and is taking the course which seems to Englishmen so unwise, but which all French Governments take. It has applied for power to suppress any journals it pleases, and ergency being voted, has anticipated the law by suppressing the Gaulois and L' Armee, Bonapartist journals, and threatening La Constitution, a Red organ. M. Thiers has further consulted all Gene- rals of Division as to the feeling of the troops, has refused definitely to release Paris from the state of siege, and has ordered several arrests, though not, it is stated, that of General Fleury. He has also promised to support a proposal for making him President for life, and has accepted the Act which authorizes the Councils- General to appoint a new Assembly.
