THE FOREIGN BUDGET.

It is reported that the British Cabinet has decided to modify the proclamation in reference to the Irish National League so that it shall apply to certain districts only. The Porte has accepted Russia’s proposal to send General Ernroth as Provisional Governor of Bulgaria and Eastern Roumelia until a new sobranje shall elect a prince for the Bulgarian throne. Pranzini, the murderer of Mme. Regnault, her maid, and her maid’s child, was guillotined at Paris in the presence of 20,000 people. A dispatch from Pans says: Vast crowds waited about the place of execution during the whole of the previous night and kept up a constant howling and yelling. The din was horrible. The doomed man marched from his cell to the scaffold with a firm step and defiant air. When the executioners seized him the murderer resisted and fought desperately, demanding that they let him alone. The executioners overpowered him and threw him upon the machine, and in an instant had him securely bound. Immediately the terrible knife was started. It descended with horrible slowness at first, but then its movements quickened and the head of the murderer rolled into the basket. The head was at once placed in a wagon and carried at a gallop to the Ivry Cemetery, where it was buried after the regular funeral ceremony had been performed over it. The faculty of medicine claimed the body and it was surrendered to them. A Winnipeg dispatch says that “a picnic under the auspices of the Canadian Pacific Railroad was held Sunday at Morris, on the Red River Valley Railway line, to try and work up feeling against the allowance agitation.
