PARIS, FRIDAT EVANINO.
The Moniteror becomes daily more communicative
of official notes. It contains to-day in this shape a
curious lecture to the Senate, which has been, as it
appears, stepping beyond the mere tett) allowed that
body by the constitution, and embodying in its re-
ports considerations on the merits of the laws passed
by the Legislative Body, whereas they ought only to
confine themselves to the question whether the laws
contain any provision at variance with the constitu-
tion. The closing paragraph of this communication
assumes almost the sharp tone of reprimand, and is
as follows:

The government, out of respect for the constitution, has
imposed upon itself the paints' necessity of not inserting in
the Monsieur the reports of the committees of the Senate,
which, without being limited to the question of constitu-
tionality, proceed to appreciate the merit of the provisions
if the law. It is of importance for the dignity of the
Senate that this elimination should not take place, sine. it
OMB all Millind by no debate, while the vote can only be
taken ma the opposition or non-opposition of the Senate to
the promulgation of the law.
Another note runs as follows:
The Sieuk, in its number of yesterday, appears to be as-
tonished that a certain number of political prisoners had
undergone the penalty of transportation to Guyana. We
shall confine ourselves to replying that the individuals, de-
signated by the Siocie as political prisoners, belong to an
exceptional category. The great majority of then have
made themselves remarkable in secret societies by the mast
hostile and guilty acts, and some of them have even com-
mitted murder. They have not, besides, been sized up
pell-mell with the convicts from the beguile, as the Siocle
would wish to have it supposed. They have been kept
apart in the vessels which carried them out, and the com-
missioner-general at Guyana has orders to continue that
separation.
The Motaiteur contains the decrees which I in-
formed you yesterday would be Published in a rap-
plement, relative to the municipal elections. The
elections of the councils-general and the councils of
arrondisement are fixed for the 31st July and let
August.
The elections for the renewal of the municipal
councils are not confined to any particular day, but
the prefects are allowed to name any period moat
convenient in the respective communes between the
24th July and 26th Sept. inclusively.
The Moniteur also contains the monthly statement
of the Bank, which has been found satisfactory in the
commercial world. The returns for the month present
a marked improvement. The metallic reserve has
declined nearly 201 millions-7 millions in Paris,
and 131 millions in the branch banks. The discount-
accommodation has increased nearly 30 millions, the
amount having been 61,786,880 fr. in Paris, and
93,433.077 fr. in the provinces. The advances on
French public securities have fallen off about 41
millions, the amount being 46,422,278 fr. ; but the
advances on railway shares and debentures have in-
creased 91 millions, the amount being 23,974,777
francs. On the side of the liabilities, the notes in
circulation have increased 141 millions-8 millions
in the Paris establishment, and 61 in the provinces.
The account-current of the tressur7 has increased 27
millions, the present amount being 119,677,217 fr.
Private accounts-current have fallen off about 31
millions, the present amount being 130,171,631
francs in Paris, and 26,092,412 francs in the de-
partments. The whole amount of the metallic re-
serve is now 6001 millions to 6261 millions of notes
in circulation.

SPAIN.

PRUSSIA.
BERLIN, limy 7.
Letters from Ostrowow, on the confines of Poland,
state that a great number of persons have fled
thither from the neighbouring Polish town of
Kalisch, where the cholera is raging with great in-
tensity, the deaths having amounted to forty daily
out of a population of ten thousand. This rate of
mortality is as high as if in London ten thousand a
day were carried off.
In spite of the Danish government's repudiation of,
the Schleswig-Holstein debts, the bonds continued to
find purchasers. They fell first to 20 per cent. But
in consequence of commissions to purchase being sent
from Copenhagen and Amsterdam, they rose again
to 26.

The Zeit announces a report, that the Danish go-
vernment will propose to the Schleswig-Holstein
Diet, that the bonds be recognised as a provincial
debt. This confirms the suspicion that the whole
affair has been a manoeuvre of the Danish ministry
to put money into the pockets of its friends who have
now bought up the bonds for a trifle, and at the same
time to mulct the German capitalists who supported
the Duchies in their resistance.
