PARIS, MONDAY EI EVI'M
Tho ministries of the interior and police are at
present occupied with a matter which stirs great
scandal, and will be shortly submitted to the Council
of State. The central commissioner of police of ono
of the chief cities in the south is on the point of
being arrested, on the charge of having trafficked in
pardons, and sold for hard cash commutations of
punishments, or releases from prisons. The fact was
denounced to the authorities by a prisoner, who had
procured his liberty by this corrupt channel, and
has been since confirmed by others. At flint tho
administration dismissed the accusation with in-
credulous levity, deeming it impossible that a tone.
denary who enjoyed a high character for intelligence,
and was generally esteemed, should be guilty of so
gross a misdemeanour. But the evidence was so
overwhelming, that after inquiry, it was thought
necessary to demand from the Council of
State authorisation to arrest and prosecute
this central commissioner. In the case of
a common citizen applying to the Council of State
for leave to prosecute a public functionary, this is
seldom granted; but there is no mode of evading
such an application on the part of the State. Thus
an officer who helped of late to cram the prisons
will now tenant those crowded abodes together with
the socialists whom he confined, and then offered to
ransom. Such instances are instructive as to tho
course which justice takes when stripped of all tho
guarantees of law, whether the scene be Naples or
France. In this case one of the principal agents of
the investigations of the mixed commissions has
abused his trust to dabble in a traffic more infamous
than that of the slave merchant or brigand. Who can
tell, when all ordinary forms of law are swept away,
the extent to which such detestable practices havo
prevailed.
Trade and commerce during the last week have
' been more brisk than for many months past. Exten-
sive orders, both for home and foreign consumption,
have been received in Paris, and nearly all the fac-
tcoies arc in full work. There is especially more de-
mand for hardware, saddlery, bronzes,jewellery, and
all those articles peculiar to Paris which are neg-
lected during the dead season. Accounts from Mul-
house, Elbert, Rouen, Rheims, and Roubaix all
speak of increased activity in stuffs, which this year
showed symptoms of revival earlier than other
branches of trade. At Lyons business is less active.
The purchases for Paris houses are not sufficient to
exopeasate the want of orders from North America.
It is hoped that the treaty concluded with Piedmont
will bad to a considerable importation of Italian
Iraw mak. It is to hi&h prices, caused by the sear-
' 22:sf the raw material, that the absence of foreign
is mainly attributable. All the cabinet makers
of the Faubourg St. Antoine have work enough to
eacupy them for months to come. There have been
lane difficulties between the masters and workmen
is thisioahearg. owing to many of the men having
derawded the same wages that were paid before
1848. The conflict has not, however, assumed any
serious aspect. Tho strike of the working carriage-
makers has been more important. Many of the best
bands have left France rather than submit to the
masters' terms. The building trade in all its
branches is doing better than at any time ainco
1848, owing to the vast number of public
works undertaken by the government. Tho
accounts from the wine districts give rise to
serious apprehensions. On the night of April 20,
a hard frost set in throughout the whole of the south
of France from Bordeaux to Montpellier, and did im-
mense injury to the vines. At Dame, Sauterne,
Podensac, and all Risen where the plant is forward,
scarcely any crop is now looked for. In the Bur-
gundy and Macon districts, the vines suffered greatly
on the same night. This news has produced much
excitement at Bercy, and has led to large purchases
at advanced prices. There is, however, another
reason for this rise. The increased duty on wine
sold by retail, which comes into operation on the Ist
May next, will not affect the stock in the hands of
retail dealers on the evening of the 7Noth inst. ; they
are, therefore, busily engaged in filling their cellars
previously to that period. The long continuance of
dry weather with cold winds has had the eftict of
checking the downward movement in the corn mar-
kets. Flour has risen in Paris 21. per sack, and 4f.
for delivery at the cod of May.

PARIS, MOVIIAY P.VENINC.
The event of the day is a remarkable report by
Colonel Espinasse, one of the extraordinary commis-
sioners of pardon, sent into the provinces to revise
the sentences of the departmental commissions. Yon
will remember that, almost immediately upon the so-
cession of M. de I'ersigny to the ministry of the in-
terior, circulars were sent to the prefects to relieve
the crummcd gaols of all political prisoners who
could be released without danger to see iety. Shortly
after the military commissions were superseded by
departmental tribunals, comprised of the military
commander, the prefect, and the proeureur-general,
who were instructed to use the utmost despatch in
clearing off the lists of trials that remained to be de-
cided. About the same time the appalling destina-
tion of Cayenne was changed for the less des-
perate bourne of Algeria. Later, when the state of
siege was removed, and the action of the ordinary tri-
bunals restored, so much was public opinion affected
by the enormous number of political offenders eon-
demned to be transported, that it was thought expe-
dient to sprinkle the heat and flame of persecution
with fresh drops of mercy ; and three or four persons,
high in the confidence of the President. wire created
special dispensers of this final measure of cle-
mency. In the meantime some of the neatest coun-
sellors of Louis Napoleon, and original instigators of
the atrocious cruelties perpetrated for the violent
foundation of his usurped authority. regarded this
clement policy, recommended by M. de Persigny and
and Jerome Bonaparte, as a weakness and a blunder.
I believe that M. de Manpaa and General de St.
Arnaud may be considered as the most influential
members of this party. They suggested to the I'm-
sident that the chief base of his power was the
real service ho had done France in crush-
ing socialism. All the adhesions he had
received, the enormous sum of votes which acelaimed
his power on the 20th of December ; in a word, tho
popularity of his government, proceeded entirely from
his having purged France of the pest of secret so-
cieties, and weeded the population of the buns of
demagogy and the poisonous roots of sedition. They
represented that only tour or five months ago society
throughout Franco was paralysed with terror at the

hut those gentlemen may console themselves with
the motleg use he has made of his commission. You
remember that Colonel d'Espinaa.e is the officer
• took possesaion of the legislative palace on the
morning of the '_'cad of December, and prevented the
• pc of (lcneral 11,e114 by posting a guard at the
.et issue which that questor had provided for
milli: himself from capture, and which he had had
the imprudence to reveal to the very officer who took
him prisoner.
The report of Colonel d'Espinasee is as follows:
Monseigneur,—l have the honour to address to you the
nowt of the ensemble of the mission which you did me the
honour to confide to me. From Tours to Bordeaux, and
it.,m Bordeaux to Montpellier and Perpignan, I every.

~reices which you have rendered to the country were
c,, rywhere warmly appreciated. Among these services,
that, perhaps, is the most valued which relieved society
from the dangerous elements which threatened its dissolu-
ton. This latter sentiment is so strong that any report of
an imnesty is received with disapprobation.
The circular of the minister of the interior, and the re-
-1.4.4s from prison which have been the result of its
produced the worst effect. The whole party of the sawt.

DEATH OF THE GRAND DUKE OF BADEN.

Intelligence reached London yesterday of the death
of the Grand Duke of Baden, which took phs• as
Saturday night. On Friday symptoms of appreadt-
lug death betrayed themselves, and orders were im-
mediately given to close the theatres, and eassign
all the troops to barracks.

The ma reeorded in the preceding lines cannot sur-
prise or startle the public. The Grand Duke, Charles Leo-
pold Frederick, was born in 1790—he woe, therefore 62
years of age at his death. To Nugliehmen he has been Only
known as the ruler of • small and unimportant German
principality, noted chiefly for its revolutions, and especially
as having been the theatre of the hat sanguinary struggle
between the democratic party and the now absolute power
of Prussia. Neither as a man nor as a sovereign was the late
Archduke chareetoeied by any extraordinary personal quai-

A telegraphic summary of the following appeared
in our late edition yesterday afternoon :
At half-past 12 the British and North American
royal mail steam-ship Canada, Lang commander,
es tered the filersey, after a protracted and tempes-
tuous voyage from Boston and Halifax. She left the
111111 DOT port at 1 p.m. on the 14th, and Halifax on
the 16th, at 5.40 p.m. Her funnel and masts bore
evidence of the severity of the weather she has had
Ito encounter, the former being completely white-
washed almost to the summit by the salt water spray.
The Canada passed through immense fields of ice, and
was compelled to steer considerably southward from
her direct course, to avoid danger from these floating
masses. On the 15th, off Biscorra Point, she passed the
royal mail steamer America, bound to Boston. She
brings 23 passengers, and the usual mails from the
United States, Canada, Newfoundland, Bc., but no
specie, and no telegraphic despatch from New York, rw
Halifax. The latest dates from New York and
southwards are, therefore, to the 13th inst. inclu-
sive. There is no news oipolitical importance, and
the general intelligence is confined to the particulars
el a ilarteight's later arrival (roil:California, and some
interesting miscellaneous items in the New York
wee.
The New Fork herald says :—" Another route to
the Pacific is to be surveyed immediately. We learn
that a party of engineers left in the Empire City es
route to examine the Atrato and San Juan rivers,
and report the feasibility of that route for a ship
canal. If the capital invested in the fire or six
routes to the Pacific could be concentrated in one,
something would soon be accomplished for the coin-
Mures of the world."

The screw steam-ship South Carolina—the pioneer
of the Use recently established between Charleston
and Liverpool—departed from the formes city, on
her maiden voyage, on the 7th inst. Charleston ham
thus the credit of sendivg out the first steamer that
ever left a southern port for Earope. There is a
very good prospect of the line being a profitable
one for the projectors, as tie trade between that city
and Liverpool is of a Lags annual amount.
The erohni OMMies of the 30th ult. says :--
" The emellew et these and creeks is said to Do
grater throughout Teems than has been known be-
fore for mane pers. We learn hell a gentleman
just ben a long journey is the interior that there is
but mu bide over any streemodthse lergeoesseall,

A fire had taken place in a soften press warehouse
at Ilavaansh by which cotton valued at 300,000 dole.
Ism dostroyed.
A revolatioa had passed the senate of Ohio on the
10th to loan theme's al the state to Koesath. His
romption at Charleston Wald to have been very cool.
The steam-ships El Dorado and Daniel Webster
bad arrived at New York on the 12th instant, bnag-
ing news from California to the 17th March. The
El Dorado brought eight hundred thousand dollars
in gold dust. The most important part of the news
is the great freshet in the interior, caused by the
late rains, the loss of property, and the inmdmts
eoanected with it. The low et property, however,
is sot so great as it was ea a farmer occasion last
year. &memento was overflown in consequence of
a IMMO in the levee, and so was Marysville. In
the knew imperatively little damage was done,
boom the inhabitants were, to a certain extent,
lbe an inundation, and as the water. rose,
gained on them, they removed their property to
'mom elevated positions. They therefore suffered more
inooavenionee than actual lose. Marysville, on the
other had, sabred a great deal. The Lone is
estimated at 100.060 dole. But the greatest loss was
sustained by the &mess en the low lands, and by
the owners of Whips bean to the minis. We have
