veral ncminations to the Legi,n of Honour, on the
following report of the minista of the interior ad
interim, M. ',acreage

Paris, 30th May.
Monsieur le President,--I bare requested the chiefs of
the Courts of Appeal to name to me the magistrates who ap-
pear to them most worthy of being prepired fit nominations
or promotions is the Legion of Honour. Yon, intention, in
anformity with that of the founder of this instittrinn, is to
past this distinction only to eminent services. I feel that I
bays not departed from this rale in the presentations which I
submit to you. lam happy on being able to direct your
favourable notice to several justices of the peace who are ve-
nerated by the persons in my jurisdiction. This reward of
their seal and their virtues will surprise them in the depth
of the country. It will prove that you are resolved to do
honour to modest merit, and will be the most precious of en.
mangententa for these popular moistures.
The bureaux have nearly finished their examina-
tion of the election returns. The second burns had
to investigate whither several protests sent in from
the department of the Aude were well-founded or
not. The bureau has decided that they were not of
sufficient importance to call for the annullatiou of the
election, but it intends to propose to have the docu-
ments sent to the ministry of justioea that it may be
seen whether any of the facts ought to be brought
before the courts of law.
The meeting of representatives of the moderate
party, held at the Palace of the Council of State, have
definitively resolved upon the following list of six
candidates for the office of secretaries to the Legisla-
tive Assemly. They are MM. Berard, Ileecheree,
Lacaxe, Chapel, Peupin, and Arnaud (de l'Ariege).
M. Estancelin, one of the present secretaries, in virtue
of his age, and who in the sitting of Wednesday re-
mained at his post, when his colleagues left theirs,
had in the first instance a majority of votes in his
favour, but he declined the honour, and recommended
the meeting to name M. Peupin, who in the Constitu-
tional Assembly filled the office with so much zeal
and dignity. In the sitting of lest evening, the meet-
ing, to testify its fidelity to its spirit of union and con-
ciliation, decided upon bringing forward M.de Torque-
vile as a candidate for one of vice-presidencies.
M. Dam, to facilitate this, renounced the candidate-
ship which had been offered to him. As to its own
organisation, the meeting decided that it should be
guided by a committee of nine members, each 41
whom is to be president in his turn. The object ell
this arrangement is to avoid the name of any being
considered as the standard of the meeting.
General Changarnier has addressed the following
letter to the president of the electoral committee of
the Union Republicaine of Versailles:
Paris, Ma 29.
M. President,—An official letter will soon make known
tho powerful reasons which compel me, to my very great
regret, not to declare myself in favour of the Seinc-et-thse,
that fine department, whose raffrages make me happy and
proud. Permit me to tell you to-day that, wi.hout hieing
the pretension to direct your votes, which are as conscientious
as they are enlightened, I think I may call your kind atten-
tion to M. L. de Malleville, my political friend, my friend by
sincere affection, whom courage, oratorical and administra-
tire talents, have marked his plain in our assemblies.
Several delegates of the department had previously
proposed to 3L Leon de Maleville to become a candi-
date, and he had consented.

main nearly as they were, amounting altogether in
Paris and the provinces to 9,697,853 L On the side

be sent daily, by electric telegraph, to Rouen, as is

Northern Railroad.
Mr. Bagby, minister of the United States to Russia,
has arrived at the Hotel de Paris, Rue Richelieu.
A deplorable collision has taken place at La Vogue
de St. Quentin (Lire), between the soldiers quartered
there and the inhabitants, who had taken the part of
a soldier who had been guilty of a breach of died-
pline, and opposed a file of men sent to arrest the
culprit. In the course of the resistance one of the
=threw a stone at the captain who headed the
party, and killed him on the spot. The sol-
Mom exasperated by this desperate act, went to their
and, returning with their muskets, charged
grPtarsinglio with their bayonets, receiving in return
