The military commissions instituted to judge the,
insurgents of December are to cease their oporations
throughout all France. They are replaced in every
department by a mixed communion, consisting of the
Prefect, Military Commandant, and ProcurearOens-
ral, which will decide with the shortest delay on the
fate of the seemed.

Tee topics adverted to in her MAJBSTT'II speech
from the throne, may be clamed under two distinct
heads—there which demand no special comment and
admit of but little controversy, and those which are
certain to evoke great diversity of opinion and to
lead to animated discussion in parliament and the
country.
Amongst the former may be reckoned the eon-

I understand that the way in which it has been
arranged by the testamentary executors of Louis
Philippe, to bring the question of the legality of
decree of Jan. 22 before the tribunals is this. The
executors have applied to the Theatre Francais for
three year's arrears of rent. Of course the lessees of
this theatre will demur to paying these arrears to
the administration of the Orleans property, alter the
decree of confiscation. Hence an action will be
brought by the executors to procure • judgment
I against the lessees for the amount of the debt.
Great sensation has been excited today by an
article in the Journal des Debuts, defending the
memory of Louis Philippe, and designating as calum-
nies the often repeated accusation of the prevalence
of corruption under this monarch. M. Armand
Bertin has, I hear, been informed by M. de Persigny
that the paper will be stopped if any repetition of
the same sort of freedom appear ; and the censors
who allowed the passages in
.question to creep into
print have been severely reprimanded.
M. Sylvain Blot, the secretary general at the pre-
fecture of police, will, it is said, be one of the new
inspectors-general of the minister of police.
M. Cabet, the famous chief of the sect of Icaricus,
has been sent to England. He was accompanied by
police agents to the steam-boat at Calais.
Sir J. Hudson, envoy extraordinary and minister
plenipotentiary from her Britannic Majesty to Turin,
has arrived in Paris on his way to that city.
The Debuts announces that hr. Veron and Granier
de Oessagnac are candidates for the Corps LOU fatal;
the one or Algiers, and the other for Paris. Inas-
much, however, as the whole of Algeria is disfran-
chised by this morning's ifoniteur, this is evidently
a mistake, so far as concerns Dr. Veron's scat.

M. Laribit has signified his intention to stand for
Auxerre.

The Cliuneey court-martial has condemned to death
a young man named Eugene Minewt, aged 21, a
printer, who was one of the leaders of the rising on
the 6th of December. The poor lad admitted that
he had taken arms in defence of the constitution, as
he felt it his duty to do. He was ready to die for
the part that he had taken in that unsuccessful
insurrection, but he seemed bitterly to feel the odious
charge of murder and robbery upon which the go-
vernment thought fit to try him. During a conflict
between the gendarmes and the insurgents, coin-,
mended by Milletot, M. ?tinnier, the schoolmaster of
Clamecy, who was walking in the street, unfortu-
nately fell. There was evidence to show that it
might have been a shot from the gendarmes that
killed him. At any rate, Milletot had no malice
against him. He was making civil war upon the
gendarmes. The only robbery was this :—He took
five thousand francs from the receiver of the place
to pay his men, and gave a receipt for the money. The
whole sum, within (Mfr., was found untouched upon
him. I have just learned from a private source that
a second prisoner, named Moltet, has been sentenced
to death. Hitherto the proceedings of this court-
martial have disclosed none of the horrors and
excesses attributed to the people of Clamecy at the
time.

At the Bourse the Five per Cents. rose 450., and
closed at 103.13. The Three per Cents. rose 10e.,
closing at 64.60. Bank of France shares fell 10fr. ;
Orleans railway rose 10fr.; St. Germain, 7.50. The
other lines remain without variation.

HOLLAND.

The Isdogpendante of Brussels states that the French
government has made an energetic remonstrance to
the cabinet of the Netherlands upon the subject of
the animadversions of the press of Holland on Louis
Napoleon's conduct and government, and demanded
that the violence of the newspapers shall be re-
strained. Cabinet councils have been held, to con-
sider how compliance with the application can be
reconciled with the laws.
