fßy Electric Telegraph. — Copyright.! [bEUTBB*B TELF.QBAMB. I Berlin, December 5. In the Reichstag yesterday, in presenting: a bill for the increase of the German Army, Herr Brousart stated that although there was no immediate danger of war, the want of control exhibited by a laige proportion of the French people prevented Germany from living in peace and contentment. He declared that the increase in the army was imperative in order to be on an equality with the French army. Count von Moltke, discussing the Army Bill, declared that an alliance with France, which would ensure the maintenance of European peace, was impossible while the French demanded the surrender of the provinces which Germany would never renounce. He disclaimed any idea of conquest, but declared that Germany would keep those provinces which she already jOßseesed.
