THE FRENCH EXHIBITORS.

The Moniteur of Feb. 3 contains general instruction' for
the reception at Paris, and the forwarding to London, of
the pmeltections destined for the Exhibition of London. All
the exhibitors admitted by the departmental juries must
deliver their products at Paris before the 10th inst., at the
station of the Northern Railway. Each ease is to have on
it, besides the address a distinction card, according to a
given model. Every exhibitor must forward his bulletin
&ear:want with his products, and at the same time, to the
!Minister of Commerce, memoranda or particulars necessary
for the compilation of the general catalogue of the Exhiln-
tion which will he published by the English committee at
London. These memoranda must indicate the com-
mercial name of the product in French, English,
and, so far as possible, in German. For products
which are liable to duties ou export, all the necessary for-
malities must ho fulfilled at Paris by the exhibitors, and the
right of export will he signified at the port of export. The
payment of the duties fur such goods as shall remain in
foreign countries shall he made on the closing of the exhi-
bition; hut, if before its closing, the exhibitors shall de-
clare that they will renounce the benefit of reimporting
their goods, the duties on such goods shall be thereupon im-
mediately payable. The central jury of the National Ex-
position of 1819 will examine all the products, taking for
the bass of its operations the necessity of admitting defini-
tively to exhibition only such products as have a known
industrial or commercial value. The same jury will decide
on the claims of parties who may have been refused admis-
sion to exhibit by the departmental juries, for which pur-
pose such parties may at their own risk and cost send their
goods to the central jury. The exhibitor will have notice
of the day and hour when the jury will proceed to examine
their products. After the examination and admission to
exhibit, detailed notes will be prepared by the agents of the
commissariat, to serve us the base for the bills of lading
' which will accompany the products forwarded. These notes
' will be signed by the president of the jury who shall have
examined the goods, by the exhibitor, and by one
of the agents of the commissariat. The final pack-
age of the products admitted shall be made at
the charge of, and by the exhibitor. The expedition of the
products to London shall be made at the expense of the
Treasury, by agents appointed by the Minister of Agricul-
hire and Commerce. The French products will be for-1
warded by the Northern Railway to Dunkirk, and from
thence by steamboat to London. These products will be
insured against sea risk by the government, and in ease of
loos the sum, to he reimbursed, shall be assessed according
to the value ; but in no ease shall more than four francs per
kilogramme, package included, be reimbursed. The pro-
ducts shall be received at London by the agents
of the French commissariat, through Messrs. Lightly
and Simon, custom-house agents of the French
embassy and consulate-general, conformably to a con-
tract made with them. The construction of tables
and stands in the place of exhibition, the putting up
machines, the setting out for show the products, the deco-
ration of the stand, will be at the charge of the exhibitors,
and must be done by them conformably with the instruc-
tions and regulations of the English royal commission. The
period for reception of products has been fixed by the
English royal commission for the 28th inst. ; but as, in ex-
ceptional cases, a delay will be accorded, manu-
facturers who shall have arranged their places at
the exhibition before the 20th February, may make
a demand in writing to the Minister of Agriculture and
Commerce before the 10th instant, on entering into an en-
gagement to arrange their place at the Exhibition at Lon-
dun before the 20th instant. In the event of not preparing
their places before the 20th instant, the parties requiring de-
lay will lose the benefit of it. All demands and complaints
exhibitors may have to make at London touching the
Exhibition, all the difficulties which may arise between the
exhibitor and the English royal commission, or the execu-
tive committee of the Exhibition, must be addressed to the
French commisariat at London. The same arrangement will
apply to all communications that French exhibitors may
have occasion to address to the royal commission or to the
jury of rewards. The French products forwarded to Lon-
don to the Exhibition will he superintended by the agents
of the French commissariat. The exhibitors will be autho-
rised to cause themselves to be represented commercially at
London, and to arrange and look after their products
either by themselves or their agents ; but they must con-
form to the instructions of the English commission and
'of the French commissariat. Special decrees will point
oat the persons whom it will be judged useful to
eend to London during the exhibition to study it in a tech-
commercial, industrial, or artistic point of view.
mar decrees will appoint the persons who shall represent
I eke interests of French industry in the mixed jury of re-
wards to be appointed at London. All goods admitted at
the exhibition being placed under bond relatively to the
payment of Customs dues, such as shall be sold to be de-
livered after the exhibition, either in England or any other
country than France, cannot be withdrawn from the exhi-
bition natal after payment of the Customs duos to ME
