The political honeymoon here is called ''the state of grace,'' and for President Francois Mitterrand the grace is beginning to seep away. It is 15 weeks since the Socialists took office, and in the last week there has been a flurry of assessments in the press and selfassessments from the Government. The opposition has been heard from too, but in a muted fashion; the harshest phrase of the week was a not very savage ''France is ungoverned'' by a minor member of the former Cabinet of President Valery Giscard d'Estaing. With the opposition split, demoralized and largely on vacation, the atmosphere is fairly bland. The Government, by contrast, has been working unusually hard for August.

Mr. Ungo, who is president of the Democratic Revolutionary Front, a broad-based political group allied with the five guerrilla organizations that make up the Farabundo Marti Liberation Front, spoke at a news conference yesterday in Manhattan.

MOSCOW IS IGNORING SOUTH AFRICA REPORT OF CAPTURED RUSSIAN

Date: 02 September 1981

Special to the New York Times

South Africa's statement that its forces have killed and captured Soviet soldiers in Angola drew no immediate reaction from Moscow today, but Soviet press organizations maintained their sharp criticism of the raid and also of the United States for supporting what they called ''international banditry.'' Moscow has never officially acknowledged sending military advisers to Angola, and Western diplomats said the number of Soviet advisers there was probably fairly low. Moscow has only referred to ''assistance'' given by the Soviet Union and Cuba to various African countries and guerrilla movements without mentioning troops or arms.
