Foreign Political News

The political situation in France is again critical, some changes having already been made in the ministry, while others are almost daily expected. The strike at LaCreuzot continues, and there are symptoms almost everywhere of discontent. Ollivier, it is stated, will ask the Corps Legislatif to adjourn to-day until after the vote is taken, on the plebiscitum, in the first days of May. The British House of Commons has adjourned for the Easter holidays, until the 25th inst., and the Irish question has by no means arrived at a satisfactory solution. In Spain there has been an outbreak at Barcelona, which has been quelled at the expense of several lives. On the whole the prospect across the water is not very promising of peace.—Battle Creek Journal.
