PARIS, MONDAVI SVININO.

The reduction in the interest of 'treasury Bonds
produced no effect whatever on the Boone. The
Rents was heavy, and closed at 69fr. 50c. and
69fr. 43c., with a fall of 10c. both for cash and ao-
count. Mobilier fell srr. There was scarcely any
change in railways. Some of the lines were lfr.
or 2fr. higher. • •

The government journals of this evening cite as
from the Komi/cur a report of a judgment of the
Court of Cassatioo, pronounced as lung ago as De-
cember 14,1867, deciding against the judgment of an
inferior court, that non-political journal', which have
been hitherto understood to be exempt from stamp
duty, are liable to it if they insert advertisements.
The report quoted is not in the Morsiteur of this
morning, but it no doubt bee appeared in that
journal without exciting attention. An observation
appended to the report states that the jurisprudence
of the Court of Caseation entirely accords with the
intention of government. It fellows that a great
many minor journals will he annihilated. Thus the
war of extermination against the press goes on with
ever-increasing ingenuity.
An experimental railway trip from Paris to
Cherbourg was made for the first time on Saturday.
The train consisted of an engine, tender, and a
single carriage. M. de Lapeyriere, the secretary of
the company, M. do Chasseloup-Laubat, the manager,
the principal engineers, and two or three head
clerks, composed the party of inspection. The
public inauguration of this important line is fixed
for July 23.
The month for which the admission of the
Indfpendattee Beige into France had been sus-
pended by General Eapinasse, expired on the 29th.
It is reported, and I have no doubt truly, that in
consequence of the hostile articles of that journal
during its period of probation, the French govern-
ment has resolved to render its sentence of banish-
ment perpetual. This sentence, however, supposing
it to have been communicated to the instipesdestas,
has not yet been taken judicial notice of by that
journal; for within the last three days the 3,000
copies of that journal which have been paid
for by its subscribers in France, have been duly
posted in Brussels. They have been, however,
es duly confiscated in France. Probably the Indl-
pmedateett desires, as a matter of business, to throw
upon the French government the onus of the confis-
cation, and thus avoid the obligation of returning a
large sum of money to its subscribers. It must be
admitted that the subscribers have no case whatever
in equity against the incle,perisioriee, which is only
prevented from fulfilling its contract by an exercise
of ere major, unprecedented and altogether out of
reasonable calculation. It wan rumoured that when
the independence was suspended a month ago, the
editor came to Paris, saw a high official in the office
of Public Safety, and treated with him de puissance
en puissant*. The negotiations did not lead to an
amicable settlement, and the proprietors of
the Independance ultimately came to the
conclusion that it would be better to sacri-
fice
the 3,000 French subscriptions rather
than the independence of their journal and its in-i
fluence in Europe. It may now be expected to con-
tain a great many disagreeable truths.
It is rumoured that France and England have
both made representations to Sweden touching the
frightful examples of religious intolerance lately ex-
hibited in that country.
M. de Pine is still alive, and though in a most
dangerous condition is reported to be somewhat
better. One of his intimate friends told use to-day
that there is no hope of saving his life ; but the
Petri* says that he has so far improved that he may
probably be removed to Paris in a few days.
The following paragraph in the Courrier de Lyon
throws a doubt upon a piece of news which has been
sisaased to be true for several days peat :

One of oar journals repeated only yesterday that the em-
irate of death upon Lieutsnant tie Mercy had bees oats-
muted. This news is at all events ptiseature ; we hare
reason to know that down to a very recent period no decision
had been cows to the ease.

Marshal Names, accompanied by his lint aide-
de-amp, Brigadier Henriqsee, and M. Marfori, ex-
Mayor of Madrid, has arrived in Paris. It has been
said that his journey to France was to take the
waters of Vichy. It may be true that be is going
there, but at any rate his business in Paris appears
to have been more pressing.
The Official Gazette of Milan, of May 28,
announces the premature death of Gaetano Motelli,
one of the most celebrated sculptors in Italy. Several
of his statues were sent to the Universal Exhibitions
of London, Paris, and New York.
