• it occurred on a of hne hot, and
_ lordship was in ,enstody for
foie minutes. It appears the report of
some law proceedings before 'maim chamber
of the :Civil Tribunal yesterday that, in Deoember,
1830, the agents of the Marquis informed him that
they had received a letter from M. &opt, a wine
merchant of Paris, stating that he was about to re
from the wine trade, that he bad a large concedes
of wines of superior quality, which ho was an
to dispose of, and that if the Marquis of
decry would consent to receive them, he wadi Mam
coals in payment. Shortly after the shine vies
sent, accompanied by a bill fixing the ash, et
10,000 fr. The Marquis had not Ism disposed
to engage in the transaction, but an ram* of the
wines a correspondence took place, and be ended by
accepting them, and by giving orders to havw thi
coals which M. Soupe had demanded forwarded.
Things w. re in that state when some time after, the
Marquis of Londonderry came to Paris. To his
great surprise, one morning, a garde-du COMMIMIS
and two of his men waited upon him, and told kin
that he was their prisoner, and must be carried off be
the debtors prison, in the Rue de Clichy. At the
same time they
.produced a judgment of the Civil
Tribunal authorising the provisional incarceration of
the noble lord. The judgment set forth that it had
been granted in virtue of the law of 1832, on the
demand of M. Soupe, and on his representation that
the Marquis of Londonderry was his debtor, was a
foreigner, and might quit France. The marquis
found the plea of peerage of no avail. Nothing hat
the money in full could save him from incarceration.
In this straight Mr. Rothschild came to his tool
paying the 10,000 fr. into court, to abide the
of an action. The cause now came on upon
the merits. M. Maillard, counsel for the
marquis, took exception to the quality of the
wino, objected that the payment was to be in coals,
and that the arrest, as for a money debt, was there-
fore unfounded. He moreover spoke of damages for
a malicious arrest, as a set-off to the claim. The
court thought the issues raised much too complicated
to be decided as a vacation cause, and ordered the
matter to stand over.

What I told you yesterday of M. Dupin'a speech at
Clameoy will prepare you to hear that he has been
vigorously attacked by M. Emile de Girardin in
the tree.., who declares that the proposition of the
ox-President of the National Assembly m equivalent
to putting a progressive tax upon the poor.

The Marquis do Laroebejaquekin has addressed a
letter to the 4uernbl4e Nationuk, which, after declar-
ing that the address of the Council General of tho
Deux-Sivres, which bad been attributed to him by
that journal, wu proposed not by him but by Gen.
Allard, and signed by all the members present, as
well as by himself, proceeds as follows :

Prince Louis Napoleon, in doing me the honour to name
me president, was well aware that I woeld never repu-
diate my principles; he was awe,, oleo that I bad pro-
tested against the coup-d'elar of December 2. I had, in
fact, told him so myself. Since that period, I, like many
°then of my colleagues, was enabled to appreciate events
and the situation of Prance; I bad seen men and political
parties closely enough to be convinced that, if the coup-
d'eat of December 2 had not taken place, I certainly should
not have had the satisfaction of witnessing. the triumph of
my own opinions, but that we should have inevitably fallen
into the hands of a fraction, red or blue, which would have
given us a regime of which I cannot say that I should have
in the slightest degree to acknowledge the mildness. I did
not desire to see the present government, but it has the
double merit in my eyes—first, of preventing others from
appearing which I should have infinitely lea desired to bee;
and neat, of having its basis no the national will, of appeal-
ing to all the men of worth, who aro willing to give their
loyal and disinterested cooperation to the service of their
country, without asking for any renunciation of their prin-
ciples. Ido not think that Louis Napoleon would think
himself honoured by the support of apostates.

This apology of Larochejaquelein's meets with little
favour from the legitimist party. The Assemb:fe
declines to publish Ins letter.
The Paris and Havre Railway Company is said to
be very uneasy at the report of a fusion of the
Northern Company with the Bt. Germain, which
latter now works a part of the Havre line. The
possession of the station at Paris by the powerful
Northern Company is looked on with great appre-
hension. The report is generally contradicted by
those interested in the Northern and Bt. Germain
companies, but not with* sufficient distinctness to
calm the fears of the weaker rival.

The lisdletin des Luis publishes a decree from the

of effervescence which has manifested itself ammipt
the parties which divide the colony, had altogether
'abode& The country enjoyed perfect tranquillity."
The Moniker sa,ys:—" The Minister of Marine,
lanimated by the desire to turn to account for the
wants of the navy the forests which cover certain
regions of our great African colony, has given to M.
Roussel, sub-engineer of the first class of naval con-
structions, a mission to proceed to Algeria, accom-
panied by the ship carpenters, Loyer and 1)ol. M.
Roussel will not only examine the forests of Edough
and La Calle, but the portions of forest ground which
have hitherto escaped the researches of our en-
gineers. He is authorised, by way of experiment, to
purchase for the navy some hundreds of stereo of the
finest timber produced in Algeria—namely, oak, ash,
and beech."
