An ap PtiaVia made to the Republicans not to spare even excessive sacrifices for order in their own interests. Events have given thorn the republic The republio exists as the legal Government, and an attempt at any different form of govern? ment would lead to the most terrible re* volution. The President deprecates a formal proclamation of the republic by the Assembly. The better policy would be to impress on. the institutions of the country the features of Conservative Re? publicanism. -The republic must bo Conservative, otherwise it panoot exist, The absolute, peed of Franco is peace. The mass might livo through a few days of agitatipti;? after frightening others it fears itself, and falls into tho arms of uu adventurer, .traveling the sad-and humi ism and despotism to anarchy, blight fault is BUffioient'to wreck the republic of Franoe,: which, if orderly and strong, it inspires confidence in foreign powers, who desire, above all things, a just equi? librium. France, if she. chooses not to desolate herself, may beoome surrounded by trusting .and useful friends. To the Assembly is- left- the instruction of con? stitutional measures: The decisive mo? ment boa arrived for the work. The President promises deference, co-opera? tion and devotion. The President con? cludes by invoking God to bless tho work of the Assembly and render com? plete and durable s consummation whioh has i not been .attained since the com: menoemeut -of -the century. The mes? sage was well received by the Left und Kerdrel, to whom it gives great satisfac? tion. The Oonservatives moved the ap? pointment of a committee to draw up a reply. The motion was agreed to by a small majority. It is thought the Presi? dent's message will lead to an early dis? solution of rtho Assembly. London, November 14.?The heavy gales whioh prevailed on the British coast yesterday wore very dos tractive to life and shipping.

The mixed commission on American and British claims has.made tho follow? ing awards:. $7,442 in gold to be paid by the United States to Great Britain, iu respect to the claim of Thomas MoDoweii, for iu juries to his dwelling honse, fenoing, land, garden, etc.. at Atlanta, for timber cut and two bales of cotton, and other . pr6porty alleged to have been taken by Sherman's army. $171 in gold, on the claim of John Kater, for two horses, a saddlo and bridle, alleged to have been taken by the United States forces in the Shenan doah Valley in 1864, and burning a stack of bay at the same time. The counsol for the United States unsuccessfully re- | sisted this claim, on the ground that General Sheridan executed his raids as a lawful act of war in the enemy's coun? try. The property was not taken ander requisition, and with an implied pro? mise of payment; but was captured from the enemy, destroyed or appropriated. It was all of a character which might, and ordinarily would, bo useful to tho enemy, and therefore a legitimate sub- | jeet of either capture or destruction, | and for whioh the el aim ant, an enemy of the United States by his domicile, can make no reclamation before the commis? sion. The claimant had been, for twenty-three years, permanently domi? ciled in "Virginia. $150 in gold on the claim of James McCube, for property alleged to have been taken by tbe troops nndor command of Sherman iu Mississippi, February, 1864. $5,093 iu gold on tho oluim of Timothy Dowling, for injury and destruction of his house, while in possession of the military forces of the United States. $770 in gold on the claim of George Adlam. The claim? ant was domiciled in the United States since 1S50, and had declared his inten? tion of becoming a citizen in 1859. Ho oconpiod fifteen acres of landou Mission Ridge, lying between the opposing forces in that hotlv contested hnti !<> of the 25th of November, 18G3. He claimed for the value of a house, stable, corn orib aud certain personal property, alleged to have been taken by the United States, at, and shortly after, that battlo. $3,056 in gold on the claim of John Turner, for a house and property burned by the United States army, upon Mc Olellan's retreat in Virginia. $13,909 in gold on tbe claim of John Burnsido, for mules, oarts aud harness taken by the military in Louisiana in 1862. $7,560 on the claim of Michael Garny. for cattle furnished the United States on requisition by the commissary of subsist? ence, November, 1863, in Louisiana. His claim was for $30,000. The commission disallowed the follow? ing claims: Francis Allsop declared him? self a native of England, end was ft resident of Missouri and Illinois since 1861. He claimed for his personal in? juries and expulsion from homo by tho Federal troops $10,000, and for property taken, nearly $2,000 more. Tho claim? ant offered the proof. John N. Trook, for farm rent on tho road leading from Washington to Alexandria, and damages committed to premises, the entire claim being for $17,000; but it was declared to bo not withiu the jurisdiction of the commission. Lidia J. Park, who al? leged herself to be tho widow of a Bri? tish Bubject, claimed indemnity for de? struction by the United States troops of a boarding house aud out-buildings in Tennessee, and for flour, corn, oto., al? leged to have been taken by tho United States troops. Tho evidence was insuffi? cient, and, besides, the widow, by her own admission, is a citizen of tho United States. John Gummer, who olaimod $1,200 for saddles and saddler's stock, tools, hogs, corn, chickens, etc., alleged to have been consumed, taken away aud destroyed by the United States troops in Missouri, Novombor, 1861. Iu addition to insufficiency of proof, the claimant was and hud boon, since 1853, perma? nently domiciled within tho United States, and in that portion which, dur? ing tho war, was in the enemy 's country. Anno Murray, who claims about $8,000 for certain tobacco alleged to have be? longed to her, and destroyed, injured or appropriated by tho United States forces at Farm vi lie, Vs., April, 1865. Tho proofs wero insufficient. Charles Clowertb, who has beou domiciled in this country since 1812, claimed $2,320 for damages to dwelling house, etc., in Vicksburg, by United States troops. Nothing appeared in the oase to charge the United States with any portion of the claimant's olaim. Aunibal Maguire, a native Canadian, but since 1850 a resi? dent of Louisiana. In this case, tbe United States oounsel, in resisting tho cluim for $10,000, says: Notwithstanding Msguire's domicile for many years within tho United States, aud tho solomn de? claration of his intention to forover dis? claim and rononnco all British allegi? ance, tho olaimaut, in 1863, had the as surahoe to raise a British dag over his ho nie |n ;Lotitsjana, and now b?altb? ?fasn re d c e to Claim its** p rotoc tf<Tn.!
