diiordere and veritable clangour and that the object
of surveillance is" to prevent communications destined
to favour plots against the safety of the state, or ma-
=weres of a nature to compromise public tranquility."
The hetftnes are to be raMected to surveillance, and
both they and the sureeilles are to present them-
selves once a fortnight before the local authori-
ties of the place in which they reside. They are not
to leave the department, even for a temporary pur-
pose, without permission, and the prefect of the de-
partment to which they may
.wish to go is to be in-
formed when the permission is granted. The prefects
are to display great severity with respect to demands
to visit Lyons and the neighbourhood, or Versailles,
and are to display great reserve in grunting authori-
sations to visit the departments of the Allier, the
Basses Alpes, the Ardkhe, the Cher, the Remelt,
the Indre, the Nievre, and the Var. The minister
reserves to himself alone the power of giving autho-
risations to visit Paris or its banlieue, and Intimates
that they will only be granted as an exceptional
favour, in very serious cases.
The Moraileur contains the appointment, by the
Minister of the Interior, of a committee of 10 persons
to examine applications for permission to form mort-
gage banks, and to settle the statutes of those socie-
ties. A communicated note in the Moniteur in-
forms the persons who have sent in application, to
the government that they are to be immediately
examined by the commission.
A new telegraph office for private messages will be
opened on Monday, at No. 83, Rue Richlieu, front
10 o'clock to O.
The IN-or:nide, a journal of Douai, has received
an official warning from the prefect of the North, in
consequence of an article upon the sugar duties. It
lie obvious, says the prefect, that the object of
,the
article in question was not so much candidly to exa-
mine the commercial merits of the recent decree as
to Barry on hostile polemics against the President
of the Republic, and to excite in citizens a spirit of
disaffection towards him.

The Belgian legation at Paris has made known
that it is indispensable for persons proceeding to Bel-
gium to obtain the visa of the Belgian legation or
consulates to their passports. In addition to taking
measures for preventing Frenchmen, expelled from
France, from entering Belgium, the Belgian govern-
ment has ordered that all foreigners resident in the
country must get their passports signed by Belgian
authorities.

Tho term of the imprisonment of M. Prondhon
haring expired, he kas been exiled into Belgium,
and Bastogne has been fixed as his place of re-
sidence.

The DOsats has the following on tho tables pub-
lished yesterday by the Manitear, showing the im-
provement in the public revenue. The lAlats does
not, like the Condilutionnel and the Pays, which
have articles on the same subject, take an exulting
view of the improvement, but says:
The Monifeur has published the returns of the revenue
for the first quarter of the present year, as compared with
the corresponding periods of 1050 and 1861. We see with
satisfaction that these useful publications will not be inter-
rupted, and we find in the one now before us a fresh proof
of what we said the other day when expressing a wish to
see them continued; confidence and credit, which are
the first bases of governments, cannot but gain by
giving publicity to documents which act as a thermometer
of public furtune. The indirect revenues, the numb/8 of
which stands in the budget at 780.900,000 fr., and in the
modified one of the committee at 771,836,0001 r., according
to its now-discussed report, shows an increase of
13,500,000 fr. on the first quarter of 1850. It is known that
several laws applied since 1860 have materially modified
certain branches of our taxes. The comparison between that
year and the present cannot offer much interest. We shall
therefore confine ourselves to 1011. The increase, of the
quarter of this year as compared with the corresponding one
of 1851 is six millions. This is an excellent result, and we
are happy to state it. This improvement arises from the
Customs duties for 3,647,000 fr. ; from the duty
on potable liquors fur 1,000,0001 r.; from the sale
of tobacco for 1,000,0004. ; and from the postage
on letters for 660,000 fr. The au2mentation of
3,647 000 fr. in the Customs deities implies the en-
trance into France of a considerable mass of raw materials
to supply employment to our manufactories and wages to
our working classes ; sad the increase of two millions on
potable liquors and tobacco shows an increase in the wages
and comforts of the people. Sugars show no augmentation,
but they present a very great variation. Colonial sugars
have produced 2.144,0001. more, but there is a falling off of
2,260,0001 r. in the home-made article. In the registration
dues there is a &mem, of 164,1100 fr. The stamp duties
have produced an increase of 29.5,000 tr. As compared with
1860 the sugmentation I. 2,500,000 fr. ; the registration
dues and the stamp duties arc the branches of revenue
which have been the most affected by the final laws
of 1050. The increase on the guano! has /ire.:
0,115,000(r. It is important to observe how
results are divided between the months of the quer-
ter. We still confine our comparison between 1862
and 1851. The registration dues in January showed a di-
minution of 2 millions; in February, they remained -sta-
tionary at about 79,01/ate.; bat in March they regained
1,767.0001 r. The stamp duties lost 2,000fe. in January,
and 336,000 fr. in February, but in March it regained
635,000 fr. The increase of 3,647,000(r. in the customs
duties is pretty equally divided between the three months.
It is nearly the same with colonial sugars. Nevertheless,
the increase which was 717,0001 r. in January, and only
480,0004. in February, rapidly rose in March to 947,0001,.
Home made sugars show an almost parallel movement.
The decrease is 439,0001 r. in January, 475,100 fr. in February
and 1,3.1.4,000 ft. in March. As to foreign sugars, February
shows a decrease of 202,0001 r., and March an increa e
of 173,00Ufr. The export trade slackened in January
and February, and the improvement in March only pro-
duced a slight increase of 15,000 fr. The increase on potable
liquor* was only 135,000 fr. in January; in February it
was 610,000 fr., and in March 414,000 tr. On tobacco it
was 164,000 fr. in January, 610,000 fr. in February, and
326,000 fr. in March. The improvement on the receipts for
postage is principally confined to March. In a word, dunes
March, all the different items show an increase, with the
exception of home-made sugar, on which there is a material
decrease. It is needless for us to observe that this result is
the consequence the law voted last year by the Legislative
Assembly, and which has just been modified by a recent
decree.

ROMAN STATES.
ROME, Aram 10.
.Ifisereres, benedictions, processions, exhibi ions of
relics, and similar religious ceremonies without
number, have occupied the Pope and his ecclesias-
tical court during the whole of this week, attracting
thousands of eunous spectators from every quarter of
the globe. The crush and beat in the Sixtine Chapel
and in St. Peter's have been unexampled, but people
cannot see his Holiness wash pilgrims' feet and serve
them at table every day, so that they are resolved to
make the most of the present opportunity. Some
French exiles of various political denominations are
amongst the visitors to the Eternal City, so that re-
publicans, imperialists, and legitimists, are to be
seen clustering indiscriminately around the gorgeous
baldacchino of St. Peter's. French influence being
uppermost in this city, the ladies of that nation are
better treated than others, having a seise:ate com-
partment in the ladies' seats, railed off and guarded
by French soldiers. The French ambassador like-
wise takes precedence of all his diplomatic brethren
in approaching the papal throne, either from his
official rank, or from the droit du pieta fort.
This morning has been employed by most of the
English sightseers in witnessing the baptism and
reception into the bosom of the Roman church of
one of their countrymen, Mr. Charles Manning,
brother of the archdeacon, in the baptistery of St.
John Lateran. It is customary every year on the
recurrence of this day to have some Jew or Mussul-
man in readiness to receive Christian baptism in the
baptistery of St. John, and scandal-lovers have re-
marked
that the same Jew usually officiates in the
" ceremony. This time, however, they can have no
such grounds for sneering, a lon ;Ale heretic having
occupied the place of the Israelite. What is moat
extraordinary in the conduct of these converts is the
regularity with which they attend the English pro-
,
testant chapel up to the very day of their abandoning
it for ever and embracing the worship of Rome.
It having been a practice in Rome to discharge
tin arms on this day, Monsignor Eufini has judged it
opportune to put forth a notification prohibiting any
such commemoration of the Saviour's resurrection.
The police authorities have likewise published a
notification, inviting lorksmit hs to send in tenders for
the immediate furnishing of five hundred pairs of
handcuffs. the number of prisoners being so great that
there arc not irons for them all.

roa, APRIL 17, 1;

A British subject was. yesterldaut eveming, initiated.
into the smear of a Roman widther Waal
taken by a patrol of Frenc soldiers. The corer
mundane de la place politely sent his aide-de-camp to
the British consul this morning, informing him of
the eircumstance, and stating that the prisoner hod
been arrested for offering violence to a French sentry,
on duty at the Colosseum, by insisting on forcing
a passage, and raising his stick in opposition
to thevoldier's bayonet. Mr. Freeborn iatmediately
sent his secretary to the Monte Citorio prison, and
discovered that the prisoner was Mr. Martin
O'Keane, an Irish tangent lathe Sapienza University
in this city, and a Roman catholic. Ho admitted the
main facts of the ease, but denied having used much
violence, and pleaded excitement at seeing the sal-
die?, bayonet presented at him. The arrival of the
secretary happened very opportunely to save Mr. I
O'Keane from being sent off to the galley slave 1 ,
prison of the Thermo, in company with a band of 1
robbers and pickpockets, who had been just captured,
the stirri being very unceremonious with prisoners
who happen to fall into their clutches, and taking no
pains to distinguish degrees of culpability. General
Gemeau will no doubt treat the case with indulgence
on the representation of the consul.
The negociations between the Roman court and
that of l'icdmont, with respect to the differences
pending in ecclesiastical matters, arc again reduced
to the former status quo, after having given rise to
some temporary hopes that the misunderstanding
might have been satisfactorily arranged through the
1 mediation of Cardinal Orioli, who, before Carnival,
sent for the Sardinian minister, and expressed to
him the anxiety of His Holiness to settle the ques-
tion, and his own willingness, as one of the commis-
sioners appointed, to facilitate it by every means in
his power. Unfortunately this well disposed cardi-
nal died shortly after, and Cardinal Antonelli has
subsequently exerted his ingenuity, as the adverse
lawyer did in the case of "Pee' les r. Plainstaines,"
in piling up once more the accumulated obstacles
which the goodwill of the litigants was beginning
to remove, the Pope, as usual, unsaying, through the
medium of Antonelli, what he had previously said
through the medium of Orioli.
