Paris, April 13.-La Liberte has another editorial calculated to allay the general discontent and uneasiness which has been inspired by the recent warlike preparations. A French Government writer says the United States Legation at Paris is continually overrun with Frenchmen who are anxious to escape the military service to which they are liable under the provision of the new army bill. Knowing nothing of the American laws of naturalization and having the treaty lately concluded with Prussia in their minds they are literally besieging the United States representatives for naturalization papers. Of course all applicants are refused as five years of actual residence is first necessary.
