ARMY AGAINST NATION,
London, 21st December M. Charles Dupuy, the Freusk Pramiar, any nounced to the Senate early in November that the Minister for War and Marine had examined M. Urbain Gohier's volume" L'arre contre la Nation," and in consequence had decided to risko a formal appeal to the Minister of Justice for the prosecution of its author, on the ground that the book contained insults to the army. The strictures centained in the book, and the prosention of M. Godier, have given rise to a great songation, both in Paris and in Las pro- vincas. It is offirmed by many that if a cat break is provoked in connection with the pro ceedings, the Orleanists will have chances of eaccess, owing to the strong manteal junloasity entertained by the most prominent generale.
