The specie in the Bank of France has increased, by 4,000,000 francs. Gambetta, in replying to ah address from deputations from Alsace and Lorraine, said France rauat not speak of revenge, and advised the adoption of the watchword— Patience. By keeping true

Marshal Bazaine has been arrested, and his tiial will bejin in a few days. . Three hundred thousand francs have been raised here for the sufferers by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. v The negotiations for the total evacuation of the French territory now occupied by Germans, is reported to be progressing favorably. :.,, ;;
