The pannigatioa of this circular is the event of
the ley. The philtre which I give you below of the
esZima in ned the citadel of Mayo, near Boy-
es sea to be multiplied by the length and
breadth of the lead in order to make one appre-
hend too well the necessity of energetic measures
for putting an end to estate of things so horrible. But
although the multitudes of prisoners will be speedily
diapered, and the sense of their affair!'" will not
longer obtrude itself upon the public mind, the vie-
time who are condemned to exile, imprisonment, or
deportation will have to groan elsewhere, and the
wrong will remain, though the spectacle of it be
swept away. But it is not only the crowded, pesti-
lential state of the prisons which has moved
M. de Persigny to proceed vigorously for
the settlement of the fate of their occupants. The
courts-martial have conducted their operations in a
manner which has spread a dangerous feeling in
many deatents. This is particularly the ease
with the department of the Centre. The sittings of
the courts-martial, you are aware, are to a certain
extent open to thesublic. It seem that that of
Clamecy was obli more than once to have the
court clawed by baronets, in consequence of the
murmurs of public indignation at the manner in
which martial justice was dispensed. Two battalions
have been sent by railway from Paris to Bourget',
in consequence of the excitement of the central
departments resulting from these disorderly proceed-
ings. Another motive of the formation of the new
special tribunals is the fact of the sentences of several
courts-martial, and in particular thaw of Lyons, having
been quashed, as I already informed you, by decrees
of the Court of Caseation. In the new courts the
legal element being represented by the procureur-
general, as the administrative is by the prefect,
and the military by the commander, the Supreme
Court of Appeal will possibly treat their conclusions
with greater respect.
I learn by private advice, from Bordeaux that a
number of prisoners lately removed to the citadel of
Wive were lodged in casematea underground, into
which water percolated in abundance. In these hor-
rible dungeons many men of a high class of society
were sitting nearly up to their knees in mud. The
government threw down a few loads of sand, which
was wholly insufficient to get rid of the wet. The
inhabitants of Blayc afterwards sent in a quantity
of sere vine branches, which rendered the condition
of the prisoners more tolerable. • It is said that the
destination of the greater part of those that are to
be transported has been changed from Cayenne to
Algiers. It Is enrions that the reason of this change
is believed in Bordeaux to bo the apprehension of
Cayenne falling into the hands of an enemy in ease
of a foreign war. This confirms the impression
which I lately mentioned as existing in Paris.

the roots of the article aftbli sad
shoWid that the wraps which have 've
to the authorities had been cancelled. • :Thu
it appear that ILlkataad Bettie had the
tozootoce, of his owl:l2st, the mutilated article.
Fee the mcatist It weaved by making a
humble apology t bet ea the present authorities do
not readily forgive an offence of that nature, the
punishment of the DEloats is thought to be only sus-
pended. Needless to add that several papers wanted
to reproduce the article of the Debate, but wore pre-
vented b 7 the censure. Henceforth/macrons are to
be submitted to the censure. This measure has been
determined from the appearance of several political
allusions in a fluilkeon on the performance of Guil-
laume Tell.

Much activity is exerted in secret channels by the
opposition party in canvassing for the elections of
the Corps Legs,'!WV: There is a rumour that a part
of the opposition party want to put up the names of
the late prisoners of Ham for the representation of
Paris. I do not attach any serious importance to
this alleged design, which seems merely, as it were,
a galvanic stirring up of the corpse of the Legislative
Aussobly. Certain it is, that, without recurring to
the old style of parliamentary tactics, which has been
so completely crushed, there are not wanting mate-
rials for a serious opposition even in the Bonapartist
re, itself. Thus, M. de Montalembert, whose re-
option at the Academy, by the way, comes off to-
morrow, is talked of as an opposition candidate for
the Deabs. M. do Morny will come forward, it is
odd, u an independent candidate for the Puy-do-
dam. Pepin-Lehalleur and other men of wealth,
resently stanch Bonapartist., will offer resistance to
the policy of M. de Persigny, the more certainly as
they partake the terrors of the boompoirie with re-
gard to the impending financial schemes. I have
already alluded to the the income-tax as one of these,
and this measure is, I under, now regarded as
certain.

The creation of the ministry of police, and the
staff of inspectors-general has excited a feeling of
terror in the provinces, and several people propose
to remove to Paris, to be under the less rude imme-
diate surveillance of M. do Manpai.
Greppo and Marc Dufraisse, ex-representatives, still
continue at St. Pelagic, where they wear the prison
dress. Madame Greppo is subject to preventive im-
prisonment.
A bon mot deserves to be repeated which is in cir-
culation to-day about tho confiscation decree, which
is called "Le premier col de taigle."
By a decree dated yesterday, the following rear-
admirals are promoted to the rank of vioe-admirals
—Bruat, in the place of Vice-Admiral Leblanc, ap-
pointed president of the section of war and marine
of the Conseil d'Etai, and placed hors cadre ; Lepre-
dour, in the place of Vice-Admiral Casey, appointed
member of the Senate, and placed bore cadre; Du-
bordieu in the place of Vice-Admiral Parseval Des-
chenes, appointed member of the Senate, and placed
hors cadre.
Captains Jacquinot, Charner, and Le Barbier
do Titian are appointed rear-admirals.
Six captains of frigates are appointed captains of
vends of the line. Eight lieutenants are promoted
to the rank of captain of frigates. Sixteen ensigns
are appointed lieutenants. Seventeen aspire:sit are
appointed ensigns.

The Moniteur says :
As we have already announced, the International Sant.
tart' Commission recently held its last sitting, under the
presidency of the minister of foreign akin, and the sego-
eiation of the collective ociasention, which is to coesserate
its labours, has been entered on diplomatically. The own.
missionm of his Majesty the King of Sardinia, P
full powers from their sovereign, yesterday signed,
the Marquis Target, the convention of which the protocol
remains open for the signature of the other contracting
parties.

A decree, dated the 28th ult., signed by the Prance
President, on the report of the moister of war, fixes
the number of the veterinary surgeons of the army
at 252, ameliorates their o&cal position, regulates
their duties, and increases their retiring pensions.
There seems but little doubt that the leading
ts who have distinguished themselves by
data seal will be government candidates.
M. La Ouerronidre, of the Pays, is spoken of for the
Deux Sevres; M. Delamaire, of the Patrie, for the
Somme; MM. Latour, Damonlin, and Count Mont-
'oar, of the Bid/iris de Parir, for Arriolge and Allier;
M. Bract, of the Debats (not a Bonapartist) is talked
of for the Ardeche, but it remains to be seen whether
independent candidates will be bona Jtde at liberty
to come forward.

The Constitsaionnel says: " A rumour has been
circulated, that the government intended to seize on
the monopoly of the insurance offices. We are able
to affirm that the government has never contemplated
anything of the kind. It is one of the thousand false
reports which malevolent persons propagate to excite
Warm"

A great number of fresh arrests have taken place
at Peomas for political matters. Seventeen cafes
hale bran closed at Cette. M. Mouton, a lieutenant-
oases, =half-pay, lately arrested for political causes.
was removed from the prison of Cherbourg to that of
St. Lo on the 30th ult. A petition from 45 of the
principal inhabitants of Bonny, near Clamecy, pray-
ing for a commutation of the sentence upon Mallet,
has been presented to the President of the Republic.
In the Basses Alper some melancholy conseirences
of the troubles are just reported. M. Aston, the
sub-prefect of Barcelonette, has gone out of his mind,
M. Prison, a barrister, who was kept in solitary con-
finement in prima, ns hanged himself with his
cravat; and M. Denoire, an ex-representative of the
Constituent, blew himself up with a barrel of gun-
powder, on hearing of the arrest of a cousin. He
is dreadfully mutilated.
