Analyzes France’s war torn split between Paris and Bordeaux as two governments vie for control. Gambetta backs a rival government in Bordeaux while Paris presses a Parisian alignment, risking civil strife and a divided electorate under German pressure.
The piece cites M. Jean Lemoinne and others predicting instability in France amid dissension and Bismarck's intervention. Gambetta's rallying cry of resistance looms, with fears of a dual government and internecine strife if the New Assembly resumes hostilities. The author hopes true enemies save France from false friends.
The article outlines France’s defeat and moral collapse under liberal principles, blaming Revolution-era ideas for the collapse of monarchy and Christian governance. It claims liberalism erodes divine right, weakens political solidarity, and foresees a turbulent path to renewed national life amid famine reports, troop losses, and peace speculations.
English philanthropy concentrates on aiding fallen Paris as famine threat abates. Telegrams about revictualling show mixed messages, but there is cautious hope that the hour of extreme danger has passed despite ongoing railway communication issues.
A correspondent details chaotic Paris news on January 27 and the subsequent German reaction in Wiesbaden. Crowds cheered and rioted, flags were hoisted then removed, and illumination failed to brighten official celebrations. Reports describe Paris’s fall, squalor in besieged districts, and the emotional contrast between German pride and French hardship.
The report highlights rapid American church growth in Baltimore with new missions at Canton and Hampstead Choptank streets, initiation of the Good Shepherd mission, and measures by St. Matthew's and St. Mark's. It notes frescoed churches, carpeted interiors, guilds expanding lectures, street services, and a strong push by Bishop Pinkney and local clergy to unite guilds to sustain a free church in the diocese.
