PARIS, MONDAY EVI2IIIIO.
The Moniteur of this morning publishes a report
from the Minister of the Interior and an imperial
decree in accordance with it, annulling • delibera-
tion of the Council-General of the Seine-et-?darne.
The report, after reciting the terms of a law of
1833, by which any act or deliberation of •
council-general relative to subjects not comprised
in its legal attributions is null and void, and may
be pronounced such by • decree—goes on to state
that the Council of Seine-et-Marne, having emitted
the sties (expressed its desire) that the councils-
general should be charged with the exami-
nations of contested elections, and also that
they should have the right of choosing their
own bureaux—this has evidently nothing
to do with the wants of the public service
in the department, and the deliberation is
consequently annulled. It is probable that this
is only the first of a series of decrees which the
recent activity of the councils-general will call forth.

as law which M. de Lavalette invokes has not
always been interpreted so strictly. Such Me=
have been received on the subject of free trade,
and on the suppression of the eliding scale, subjects
which touch on general policy more than they can
be said to affect the interests or service of any par-
ticular department. Is the present decree • com-

The imperial family is still at Fontainebleau, and
it seems that the Empress was obliged to leave all
her sick at NeutralAte'. Dr. Liebreioh, the oculist
who lately operated on the Countess de Montijo's
eyes successfully, has been sent to attend the Prin-
cess Anna Murat. It seems that her eye was forced
from the orbit by the violence of the concussion,
and although it had been replaced, an alarming in-
flammation set in, for which Dr. Liebreich's assis-
