PARIS, TOURIST KVInIIIO.
Today is the 44th anniversary of the birth of
Louis Napoleon. I am cot aware that any public
notice has been taken of this cireumatanoe. The
Prince President gives a dinner en fentille at the
Elyse*, to celebrate the occasion.
Lad night 300 political prisoners wore packed off
in •
•es, from the fort of leg, to the termhins
of the Railway, whence they were conveyed
to Haus to be embarked for the mud colony of
lualosu. in Africa. Among these unfortasa pr-
ow vas M. Somme, whose pardon having been an-
mod in some paper drew reclamation boat the
.Asemeilie Nationa4 against this exam otelsorsey.

The extinction of opinion in two fresh provincial
newspapers is announced to-day. The Union of
Dinan, and the Commerce Breton of St. Malo, au-
nounoe that they cease, under the present circum-
stances of the press, to have anything to du with
politics.
The circular of the minister of polico (of which I I
send you a translation) to his subordinates, the police
inspector's-general, is a clever attempt to put a spe-
cious varnish upon the odious spy system of which
he has been made the head. 10 these gentlemen,
8 only in number, is confided the " lofty mission" of
pouring perpetual floods of light upon the Prince
President of the Republic relative to the wants,
wishes, interests, habits, and tendencies of 30 mil-
lions of Frenchmen. If they act up to M. Maupas's
instructions they will certainly be the most hard
worked men in France. They aro not to remain
long at home, but are to be continually running about
in their bailiwicks, learning the price of corn and
other provisions, inquiring what leases are to be re-
newed, what property is to be sold, hew agriculture,
commerce, and manufactures are going on, and what
may be the daily state of charitable establishments,
mortgage banks, and all useful and philanthropical
institutions. Public morals, public religion, public
theatres, and public houses, aro all to be under their
superintendence. They are to push their way into
the master's manufactory and the operative's hovel,
and to be continually putting questions to masters
and men. In addition to this they are to act mlec-
turers, and arc to preach everywhere the virtues of
the Prince President of the Republic. The impertinent
interference implied in the above catalogue will not
in all probability be so extensive as may be intended
because, unless the inspectors be more than mortal,
their time will be fully occupied with the moro con-
genial part of their duties pointed out in conclusion,
namely, to keep a sharp look-out upon secret societies,
books, newspapers, and all political conversation.
The circular is as follows:
Monsieur l'lnspecteur-GeneraL—By my circular of the
14th of February, I explained to you what your mission is.
You must have seen from it that it was not sufficient to
remain in observation in the centre of your circumscription,
but by frequent excursions to become perfectly intimate
with every part of it. At present, when after a great con-
vulsion, ceder is re-established, the Pint care of the govern-
ment is to protect the new institutions from those
periodical hurricanes which insensibly precipitate
states towards their rein ; and, fur that purpose,
it has need of a perfect knowledge of the situa-
tion and wants of the country. Yon have been instituted
precisely to second it in that object. You must, by your
presence, make perceptible the salutary vigilance of the
government. You are the medium of incessant communi-

ration between it and the mum. It Is the regular move-
ment of public opinion towards the government, and of the
government towards public opinion, which constitutes the
tone, if not the only spring, capable of keeping up the equi-
librium in social lite, and leading to real progress and wise
improvements. To study and to enlighten as your double
duty. In order to concentrate and to disseinumte that
fruitful light, you will meet with proper assistance from all
classes of fuuctionaries. If they initiate you into the state
of the fractions of populations under their administration,
you, whole, attention is filed on a more extended horizon,
tan communicate to them those general views which you
collect every day in the performance of your functions, and
can thus augment their local experience by that
.gathered
from all the districts which you visit. But it is, above
all, the lower strata of society that you ought to examine
closely. It is into those regions, so long unex-
plored, that daylight most be introduced. Sound boldly all
their depths. Visit manufactories, workshops, and the
great centres of labour ; question the employer and the
workmen, and enlighten them as to their reciprocal in-
terests; let them find in your a counsel, a father, &concilia-
tor. Be accessible to every one, rich or poor; and let every
sound suggestion meet from you a good reception. Examine
carefully all those living forces, the development of which
renders societies powerful. The price of corn, and of other
provisions, the renewal of leases, the sale of real property,
and the movement of agriculture, commerce, and manures-
tures solicit your attention. Let it be extended also to
charitable establishments, mortgage banks, and all useful
and philanthropical institutions, in order to appreciate their
development, their effects, and the encouragements which
they merit. Observe particularly. what relates to public
morality, for in raising up the principle of authority, morals,
most also be elevated, for when neglected they often
condnat to decadence. Pay attention to everything
cennasted with religious sentiments, family feel-
Jeri habits of labour and the good faith of holiness. To
asidd you in that object, weigh carefully the laluence exec-
meg by theatres, cabarets, and public pleas. But, in the

will bo indicated later. You are aware that M. Jain
Simon was member of the Constituent, sad belongs
to the party of moderate republicans represented by
General Cavaignac. The omission of Ms name in
the official organ is attributed to the Wird of M.
Jules Simon to take the oath of fidelity to the Pre-
sident.
