The President says :— | “Zam animated by respect for your wishes, fand will always scrupulously execute them. Whe National Assembly had two great tasks— tho liberation of the territory and the restora- tion of order.

FRANCE TRANQUIL, There has been no disorder in any portion pf the country in consequence of the an- fhouncement of the change in the government. Despatches from all sections report that tran- Quillity prevails. Only half of the+roops are mow held in their barracks. WHIERS TO RESUME HIS SEAT IN THE ASSEMBLY. * Ex-President Thiers has informed the mem- hers of the Left Centre that he will sesume hhis seat in the Assembly to-morrow and wi!l fake his placefon their benches, accompanied by the late Ministers Dufaure, Perier and Leon Say.

The latest list of Marshal MacMahon’s Cabinet mtains names little known outside of France. M. Ernoul, the new Minister of Justice; M. Beule, the Minister of the Interior; M. Deseilligny, the Minister of Public Works, and M. Bouilierle, the Minister of Agriculture and Commerce, are promi- ment members of the party of the Right, who have opposed M, Thiers in his attempt to give to the fepublican form of government a permanent eharacter. Admiral D’'Hornoy, the new Minister of Marine, has never been in the arena of politics, and has been probably selected en his professional Fierits.

General de Cisscy, Minister of War. --@eneral Courtot de Cissey was born in’ Northern France and studied at the Ecdle Militaire. After grad- wating he was commissioned a sous lieutenant and Sent to Africa, where, in the endiess wars with the arabs, he won great reputation and rapid promo- tion. He served with credit during the Crimean ‘war, and his services in Italy—at Magenta and Sol- ned for him the rank of brigadier gen- ubsequently that of gencral of division. For three or four years previous to the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian war General hee yo! was in command of one of the military divisions of France, and enjoyed the unbounded confidence of the Emperor Napoleon. On the declaration of hos tilities between France and Prussia his di vision, with the Fifth Corps, to which it be- longed, was ent to Metz ana participated in all the great batties fought around that city. Aiter the surrender of Bazaine, General Cissey was gent to Germany as a prisoner of war. Returning to France he bore a conspicuous part in the sup- ression of the Paris Commune. He was appointed Bininer of War by President Thiers in June, 1871, feer the resi He was consifered at that time a warm adherent of the Wapoleonic dynasty. Anselm Polycarp Batbre, the new Minister of Pubitc Instruction and Wor- hip, a laivyor of distinction, was born at Setsaan, Gers, May 81, 1828. He was appointed Au- ur tothe Council of State, in 1849, but wes not gounected with that body alter the events of De- ation of General Leflo cember, 1851. He was elected, in 1853, a member of the Law Aca emy at Toutouse, and in 1860 he was sent by Kouand, the Minister of Public b struction, on a mission to study the erganizatic @nd workings of ioreign universities. |, Bacbré is @ legitimist—a zea'ous defender of the Church and of mouarchical institutions, THE PUFULATION OF FRANCE. The Journal Ogiciel of Paris published, January 2, 1873, the results of the census taken last year, and compares it with the preceding one of 1866. Atthe latter date the population of France Was 38,067,004, that number being, however, subsequent) reduced by 1,597,238 repre- senting the iuhuiitants of the districts annexed to Prussia, and leaving a net total of 36,469,856. The population shown by the new enu- meration 18 86,102,921, giving a deficit of 366,935. ‘The principal causes\of this decrease are the war, the epidemics 0: smallpox in 1870 and 1871, a falling of im the number of marriages, and the excess of deaths over births. Kelatively to the sexes, the decrease 13 235,830 males and 131,105 females, the numbers at present being as follows :— Masculine, single, 9,623,227; married, 7,352,096; widowers, 1,005,153; total, 17,980,476; feminine, 8,832,145; married, 7,320,510; widows, 1,969,787; 22,445, and showing an excess of females over males to the extent of 141,969, THE FRENCH ARMY. Its Present Command and Strength. Alter a break of three years the French Army List made its appeirance in print on the 8th of May, 1873 Though vastly changed from that of 1870 it gives hardly any clew to the future organization of the forces, Five marshals are still leit on the list, of whom one only, MacMahon, appears actually on the stam, The total number of generais, employed and unemployed taken together, appears to have been very much swollen by the wat with Prussia and amounts to no fewer than 581; while the number of officers, notwith- standing that some thousands of provisional com- missions have been cancelled since peace was de- clared, reacues the extraordinary total of over 22,600, of whom about 600 constitute the general stat. The total exceeds the nominal supply of officers inthe German army Dy fully twenty-five Per cent, the latter being under 17,000; but, on the other hand, the Germans, by the skilful use ef the einjihriger system, have gradually accumulated a stock of reserve officers, all partially trained and many of them weil used to command, amounting to nearly 10,000 men, ready to be cailed on in case of war, and costing the country absolutely nothing in time of peace. As to the body of the French army, as siown i the Army List, it con- sists at present of 126 regiments of the ilne, 4 of zouaves, 3 of Turcos, 1 foreign legion and 30’ bat- talons of Chasseu:s, The cavalry has been in part consolidated, but still makes up 56 regiments; and there are about 31 regiments of artillery, it being intended ultimately to give two to each army corps when the latter yrganization is definitely completed, THE ALABAMA CLAIMS BILL. British Parliamentary Sanction for the Pay- ment of the Geneva Award—Points of Commission and Omission. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD, Lonpon, May 26, 1873. The House of Commons to-night, while in Com- mittee of Supply, took up the item: for the pay- ment of the Alabama awards, Mr. Bentinck declared the government policy on this question had been humiliating and de- grading, The government should have broken off the negotiations at a time when no sense of shame would have been left England. This arbitration was the greatest monument of human folly, and could not be considered otherwise than as a national degra- dation. ‘ ~ Sir Stafford Northcote admitted that during the negotiations of the treaty he had not minutely ex- amined the consequences for British subjects for fixing the end of the war at Lee’s surrender, Mr. Gladstone said the advancement of the in- direct claims by the American government wasa gigantic error. In ali other respects he defended the course the arbitration had taken. The debate here closed, and the item was agreed to. THE RAILROAD TO INDIA.

His Opinions on the Future of France. A Herald Correspondent Interviews the New Minister of Foreign Affairs. NECESSITY OF M. THIERS. No Chance ofa Coalition of Bour- bons and Orleanists. A DIFFERENCE ON PRINCIPLE. The Real Monarchists of France Do Not Sub- scribe to the Dogma of Divine Right. FRANCE-WANTS REST. President Thiers Likely to Long Hold the Executive Reins, The Right Distrust Him, the Left Disagree with Him in Spite of His Great Quali- fications for the Presidency—A New Assembly Not Apt To Be More Favorable to Monarchy than the Present One. The following letter was received some time since from a correspondent of the HERALD in Paris, containing notes of a full conversation with the Duc de Broglie on the state of parties and their prospects in France. Notwithstanding the time that has elapsed since the interview, it will be read with special interest owing to the sudden executive change in the government of the Republic, which has placed the portfolio of Foreign Affairs in the hands of the distinguished statesman whose ideas it records, Iwent lately to see the Ducde Broglie at his house, Rue de Solferino, Quartier St. Germain, I Was so astonished, upon ringing the bell, to have the Duke himself answer it, that a nice speech I intended to make him was completely knocked out of me. He received me with far less hauteur and attempt at condescension, however, than a second rate French lawyer would have done. He invited me into his study, and, although pressed for time, talked very freely for the hour I was with him. He ig something above the medium size, straight and erect, wears a short, closely cropped beard and Tmustache, has cold gray eyes, a projecting forenead, deeply lined, ia slightly bald, and I do not think I ever saw a finer head—intellectually considered— than that of the Duc de Broglie. Without atrempt- ing it in the least, he is of an imposing personal ap- pearance—a fact arising simply from his air of in. tellectual superiority and culture, and not from any external{insignia of rank or title. He is fifty- two years old, has been a journalist in his time, and has written several works, principally of a politico- religious nature, Although a consistent Catholic, he is opposed to the absolute in government, and is as great an opponent of the doctrine of divine right as of the theories of democracy, and has attacked, in turn, the absolute doctrines of the L' Univers religieux and the destructive tendencies ofthe Reds. He believes in a limited monarchy— something like that of Engiand—as the best form of government for France, and is an Orleanist. It is thought that he is the strongest man in the party, its recognized leader in the Assembly, and there was talk at one time of his replacing Presi- dent Thiers. Our conversation was as follows:— CoRRESPONDENT—You will excuse my visit, Iam sure, M. le Duc, when I tell you of the deep interest felt by Americans in the affairs of France at the pres- ent moment. They follow events as they occur here more closely than do the French themselves; every- thing that happens is as carefully recorded in the columns of the American paners, 4s if the people nad a direct interest in the affairs of France, and the names and opinions of French statesmen and politicians are almost as well known as those of their own country, Your own name, I assure you, M. le Duc, is probably better known in América than anywhere in Franee, except, perhaps, im Paris and the department which electe Vinee It is ery dimicult to get a just estimate of the situation by reading the French papers, which are, as you are aware, rather the expression of the personal opin- ions of their editors than of a ae A short résumé of the situation by you, je Duc, would be of more interest and value than all of them put together and would be read with avidity by the million readers of the New York HBRALD. M. LE Duc DE BROGLIE—Really, sir, you surprise 48 well as flatter me in attributing so much im- portance to my views of the situation. y one among the 700 members of which the National Assembly 1s composed, and have no means of en- forcing my ideas upon my colleagues, however cor- rect they might be. However, any information I can give you is most freely at your service. CORRESPONDENT—Thank you, most sincerely. I do not desire to trespass too long upon your time; but believing that no man in France more fully understands the political situation, I will, by your kind leave, ask you a few questions, I would first like to know what you think of the PROSPECTS OF THE REPUBLIC. M. LR Duc DE BROGLIE—Well, fer tne present I must say that Daas # points to at least a tem- porary continuation of the Republic. The country ig not ready for a solution of the question of the form of government, a question which can only be decicided by passing through @ dangereus crisis, And with the partial occupation of French soil by foreign troops, this 18 not to be thought of for a mo- ment. Besides the country is tired of discussions and wants to rest, and the present government, republican in name at least, tyes it the repose of which it stands in need @ members of the Right in the Assembly do not approve of many things in President Thiers’ programme, CORRESPONDENT—Still I suppose they have no fear of his making a coup a’état M. LE Duc DB BROGLIR—Oh, no; they have every confidence in the patriotism of M, Thiers. It is only that they have not the same confidence in many of his ideas, and they were greatly incensed when he took the step of concillating the Left in order to insure the success of his measures, CORRESPONDENT—And yet I believe the real views of the Le{t on these very questions are much nearer those of the Right than of M. Thiers. M. LE Duc be BROGLIE—Yes, and they have voted pas i to their own convictions, partly out of a spirit of opposition to the Right, Ry, to coneili- ate M. pat) whom they think they have gained over to their side, ~ CORRESPONDENT—SO you really think they have gained him ? ~ » M. LE Duc DE BRroouir—No. He simply wished to carry certain measures which he deemed in- dispensable, and the Right refusing to vote them ie turned to the Left for the support the Right re- ‘ised him. He had a certain point to gain, and for the time being he gained it. CoRRESPONDENT—Do you think M, THIERS IS A SINCRRE REPUBLICAN? M. LE Duc pk Brogiik—Yes, as jong as he is President of the Republic—a s.ate of affairs which he knows must last as long as he lives. The que tion of the form of government cannot, as I before remarked, be agitated now. The only possible course to be pursued is to keep M. Thiers in power, & situation which sults him very well and which he will do everything in nis power to per- petuate, CORRESPONDENT—For my part I am only as- tonished that, while the majority of the Assembly really is opposed to him on almost every important question which has csme beiore them, they still submit to his domination, do things they @o not wish to doand vete measures they are CL pgae to. M. LE Dec bg BRoGLIB—It all comes of the neces- aity I have just referred to, of keeping M. Thiers in power, The Assembly can find ho other man to replace him, and yet he hiy not by any means the man they want. He is the only man that can find @ majority in the Assembly, and yet, strange to say, this majority is opposed to him, as you say, on almost every important question. CoRRESPONDENT—W hat is the reason of this? M. Le Duc Dk BRooiin—It arises from the pe- culiar composition of the Assembly, which, elected without any political object in view, butsimply to liperate our territory and put an end to the war, 13 composed of the most nncongenial elements. ‘There was no question oi the form of gover it was simply peace or war, aud candidates kuown to 1% favorable to peace were elected without re- yard £0 thew poiticul opinions, Leuce the wide diversity id Variety of opinion to be observed among the’ On tue important question of the form oi govcroment, The Assembly would, how- ever, be very \ell satisfied with M. Thiers a3 Presi- gent if he wocdd govern according to their will. ‘This, however, he reiases tu do, and uuder the cir- cumstances they are OBLIGED TO SUBMIT. CoRRESPONDENT—I de not understand, for my part, why M. Thiers ingists in impesing his wilt ‘upon the Assembly in this way, It is certainly con- trary to republiean principles that one shouid gov- ern the many. lace, be- M. LE Duc DE Brogtiz—In the first eause he is very positive and has unlimited confi- dence in his own foresight and. fudement, believing that he aione is capable of saving the country; be- sides which he maintains that the present ‘National fcr does not represent the will of the coun- CORRESPONDENT—Whether it does or not he can- not surely think he represents it with his protec- tionist principles, M. LB Duc bg BROGLIE—No; for the tendency of public opinion at present is to free trade. Mon- arciists and republicans are agreed upon that, and not only in France but al. over Europe, NO HOPE FOR A MONARCHY, ConREsronDENT—Is there no hope that the mon- archical party will be able to unite on a candidate for the throne? M. L& Duc DE BRoatrg—There seems to be little hope at present, Count de Chambord and the Or- leans princes show little inclination to become reconciled, though that would be a question of minor importance if tt were not for one of principle that underlies it. The legitimists, or partisans of Henri V., are very positive and unylelaing in their principles, which, inculcating the doctrine of the divine right of Kings, are such as the real monarch- ical party of France can never accept. The difti- culty ofa fusion of the two parties viagra greater than it at first sight seems. The heads of the two parttes would be obliged to shake hands if their adherents would. It is really a question of principle, and not of persons, as might at first be supposed, The result is that the two monarchical arties which, united, would havea strong majority in tue Assembly, divided are powerless, and ‘Thiers is absolutely master of the situation. A NEW ASSEMBLY, CORRESPONDENT—Under the circumstances it seems to me that the only course left open would be for the present Assembly to dissolve and give Way to @ new one, which, elected under other cir- cumstances than the resent, would probably count @ united monarchical majority. M. LE Du¢ DE BROGLIE—To tell the truth, that ts More than doubtful, With universal suffrage as it now exists it is not at all sure that a new Assembly would be monarchical, and there is the difficulty, Anelection might only make matters worse. No, the composition of a new Assembly might be worse than this one, and involve the country io another civil war. CORRESPONDENT—So you think no change may be looked for soon? M. Le Duc DE BROGLIE—No; I think things must g0 on as they are, with the Republic such as it is; certainly until the final liberation of the territory or—the death of M. Thiers. We are getting on very well under the present régime. Consolidating our finanees, reorganizing our army, re-establishing our credit, liberating our territory, we have scarcely time to think of a change, and, in short, everything tends to at least a temporary con- Linuation of the Republic. CORRESPONDENT—And after M, Thiers? M, LE Duo DE Broguie—Alter that I do not pre- tend to see my way. The death of M. Thiers just now would be @ great misfortune for France, and leave us in a situation out of which it is diMeuit to see our way. THE NATIONAL GAME. Athletics vs. Atlantics=A Very Brilliant Contest Between the Old-Time Rivals— Score, 4 to 3. Some eighteen hundred people assembled on the Union Grounds yesterday afternoon to witness the first game of the series between the Atlantics of Brooklyn and the Athletics of Philadelphia, In the pools the visitors had the call at odds of 100 to 55, and at these figures a great deal Of money changed hands, the backers of each club buying up the tickets with great avidity. Mr. Carey, of the Bul- timore club, was chosen to act as umpire, and at forty minutes past three o'clock play was “called,” the Atlantics going first to bat. Upto the fifth inning the play om either side was of the most brilliant nature, neither nine being abie to get a man around all the bases, Ferguson, at third, never acquitted himself in better style, picking up some of the hottest balls ever knocked, and send- ing them over to first base like a rifle shot. So far the batting was weak, only three first base hits having been made—two by the Athletics and one by the Mutuals—but in the fifth inning the Philadeiphia boys began to hit out with a little freedom, and, aided by errors on the part of Barlow, Breitt and Ferguson, put on two runs when or should have been easily disposed of for another blank. Sharp fleld- ing on each side characterized the fielding play in the succeeding inning, Ferguson, Burdock and Dehiman making one of the most’ brilliant douvie plays ever witnessed. In the seventh ining errors by Ferguson, Breitt, Remson, Barlow and Dekiman gave the Athletics two more runs, thus bringing thetr score up to four, against nothing for the Atlantica, Good batting by Pearce, Boyd, Barlow and Dehiman, materially aided by clever base running by the former, gave the Brooklyn boys three rans—two earned—in the eighth inning, and as neither side was able to force a man over the home plate after this, the game closed with the score at four to three, in favor of the Athletics, The fielding of the Athletic players was of the finest description throughout; but while they made just twice as many first base hits as did their ad- versaries, their batting was not nearly 80 effective, they failing to earn a single run, The foljgwing is the score :— 'LANTIC.

He ha no relatives in this country. The inquest was held in the Court House. The room was literally packed with people, who were anxious to learn the facts of the case. The first witness sworn was James Stanton, who testified that at about eleven o’clock on Saturday night he was awakened by loud neises, like teat of scuiling and groans, in cell No, 2; he also heard Jet McDonald say, “Tie and gag the damned —— afterwards saw Aleck and Morgan coming from cell No. 2 and asked them what was the matter; but they paid no attention, and commenced prying at the door of cell No. 4; tried to give the alarm, but Morgan satd, ‘‘Keep still, or I will knock your d——d brains out.” Other wit- nesses testified to the same facts. The jury brought in the following verdict:—“We find that Christopher Swartz came to his{death at the hands of George W. Morgan and Alexander Diamond, with Jerry McDonald accessory, kuown to the fact, before and after.” SCANDINAVIAN EMIGRANTS.
