Pakis, March 80. The council of Uhkders to-lay was preskktl over by Presldest Grevy. He Insisted oa prompt and vigorous actloa on tke Calnewj questloa, and declared that uothtag short of decisive ami complete measures would satisfy the peote. After aa excited discussion, the council ueckleu to asK toe cnanibera for a credit of two hundred millions francs. It was also decided to mobilize two full divisions of the army, Including four llrigadler-Generals lor service ia Touquln. Courbett's neet Is to be rein forced at once by lO.tKK) sailors aim ma rines and several more vessels. The recent French reverse seem to kave put the topalace beside themselves with rase. Notnius less man me im mediate resignation of the Ferry ministry will appease their anger. At the present writing a howling mob has assembled lu front the Chamber of Deputies. Tke crowd jcpoateiMy endeavored to cater the bulkllnjc, but eich time they have beea driven back by the military. In the Chambers the scene Is one of the wildest confusion. Pandemonium prevails. Members of the Right are fiercely attacking; the Government tor duplicity in keeping them ignorant oi me true state ot affairs until it could no louger be kept back, and until the few loyal sons of France sent asatnst the Chinese hordes have been sacritlccd. The tumult on tlic nocr is micnsineii uy uie occu pants of the gallery, wao applaud every speecn against the M1h Istrv, and intersperse it with cries of "Resign," Resign," ''dowa with the MlHtstry!" In the mUlst oi tne turmoil, ir. rcrry aroe to announce we hcciswh ui iac Council of Ministers held this morning. He was greeted with hisses from all parts ot the chamber. Silence was finally restored, hut the Premier had no sooner concluded his remarks than the tumult broke out again. The Higbt almost in a body yelled, 'Uown with tho wretck!"

Point ing ia the direction of the Hlsht Be eaoHBCed them as traitors. The noisy scene was momentarily brought to an end by a motion of one of the deputies that they at once proceed to vote ou the Government proposals, which was adopted. The result ohowed that the nronosals had beea rejected. When the announcement was finally made, .Mr. Ferry tendered his resignation and tbatof his colleagues. This was greeted with wild appiaase, aad the Chamber wa cleared. FORKCAST OF THE NHW MINISTRY. Paris, March SI. It Is generally believed that President Grevy will call upon cither M. DeFreyceaet, of the Senate, or M. Rlbot, of the Deputies, to form tru; new Cabinet. M. DeFreycenct won great popularity throuihout France by his able iilmlatetratkm of the Ministry oi ruotic Works under a former Cabinet, aad has or many occasions displayed much sa gacity in statesmanship. He has himself been Premier in two Cabinets. M. uibot, one of the most distinguished of French Inrisconsults, has been prominent in politics of the higher order ever since he was summoned to an active participation . a a t -1 t ... in th Government oi .-awoai ucnw ttu. infill fif Sedan. It is also a Witter of expectation that M. Wadding- . . a- r 1 . .LI, t. . ton, now Ainoassauor io imios, nm come MluUtcr ol Foreign Affairs, which office Is now hebl by M. Ferry in addltkm to tkat of President of the Council. A rumor that the great political economist and financier, 1-eon Say, will be asked to accept the post ol Minister of Finance, causes the most profound satisfaction. It is a proverb in France that in times of financial uncertainty, the mere knowledge of the fact that M. Say was to become Minister of Finance has always been sufficcHt to caue a rise in the price of rentes on the Bourse. THE FKKNCIt l'MMW ON TUB SITUATION. Paris, March 31. The comments of the Parisian newspapers upon tke unfortunate events in China are vigorous, and many of them are so excited and even wlkl, as to be almost amusing. The iHtrHhfl'jfiHt heads Its editorial with the words 'L'Rassln," and M. Rochefort then goes on to den oh ace M. Ferry as a Canaale, who kills by telegraph and as..assiwitetf our children by means of the submarine cable, and as worthy to be trusted as a bandit, or the knife of the gHlllotine. Roth Lc G0ttois and J.Untranti'jtaHt acense M. Ferry of filling the bureaus with his Incompetent friends and relatives. Lt JlmUcal protests against burying soldiers iu China wno will one day be needed on the Rhine. Ia Crk J'enplc sneers at Mr. Ferry's statement that the honor of France calls for reinforcements, and fays: 'We don't care anything about China or Tonquln, which are mere traps set by Bismarck." J-Vfaro denounces M. Ferry's Grotesque tusc.H and bombastic Machlavelllsm," bat says these sink beneath the gravity of the National calamity, and It Is necessary to throw more men Into the abyss.

The news that the Indians had taken ltaitleiord caused intense excitement In this city yesterday, and the Government is making active preparations for hurrying forward troops and munitions ot war. From the elaborate preparations of the officials, it Is evident that a protracted Indian war la believed to be at hand. The Government is endeavoring to secure the good offices of Archbishop Tactic, who has great influence with the half-breeds, in quieting those people and prevailing ou them to seek a peaceful solution of their griev ances. I he first detachment ot troops are expected to reach Winnipegon Thurs day. The Premier is in receipt ot a num ber of dispatches bearing on the Insurrection, but he refuses to make their contents known until he lays them before the Cabinet. The Government apprehends trouble between their supporters t.nd those of the Farmers' Union, which met at Winnipeg yesterday. The Ninth Battalion have been ordered to the front smd will leave to-dav.

It Is reported that alt the available volunteer force of Canada will be hurried to the Northwest, In which cae permission will be asked to transiOrt troops over American railroads. It Is feared that United States Fenians wll supply the Indians witk fighting material. m PesttHftHtrr Pcarium' KrilHtieHt Tke Kchxoh ffir It. Wasiiinoto.v, I). C, March 31. A gentlemen very near the President, aad undoubtedly speaking from actual knowledge, Tciwirts that the reappointment of Mr. Pearson was made after a patleat examination of all tho facts connected with the charges against him, and his answer to the same, which was yesterday submitted and read by the President, The appointment therefore may be considered a complete vindication of the Postmaster. It Is further Uted that Mr. Pearson's reappointment will constitute a notable exception to the course which the President limy be expected to pursue. The New York Post-office is the largest and most Important In the country, aHd Is of Interest to all people, especially the vast business enterprises centered In the !iietroiolls. It Is to-day a complete illustration of the successful application ot the civil service reform principles to an Immense governmental establishment. This condition has been brought alwut largely by the intelligent effort of Mr. Pearson, who Is thus Identified in the closest nmnner with this example of the success ol reform. To retain him insures faith and confidence IH the inovoment, which would receive a shock from his removal. His retention was earnestly requested by large number of business men both Democrats and Republicans, and generally by Independent Republicans. This act must not be regarded as Indicating that iu no other cases those op)osed to the party of the President will cither be appointed or retained after the s . i . a t..l- a ...... fa u u o u a tn a suggestion that the reappointment of Mr. Pearson might cause dissatisfaction In the ranks of his party, tke President la represented as savings "The Democratic party is neither hypocritical, anrwtrlotlc or BBgratefaJ."
