The Journal du Havre mays :
Despatches from Captain de Lures lire Le Nourry, com-
mandant of the French naval station off Newfoundland,
announce that after "royal interviews with the members of
the triadic' body of the colony, he had succeeded in
establiablas the bads of a new treaty relative to the Laborite,
and of mob a nature as to give matidectiou to all the intereeis
concerned. This result is considered the more importaat
that the first convention agreed to had bean rejected by the
British government. in conaequenos or its not herbs
received the approbation or the colonial legislature.
A nun named Moreau, but whose name "in re-
ligion " was Sister Alexandra, of the convent of St.
Joseph, at St. Julien de Civry (Saone-et-Loire),
who died in November, 1855, constituted by her
will the Abbe Beerier her residuary legatee, and,
as her property was very considerable, it was cal-
culated that, after deducting various other legacies
which she had made, he would come into peens-
sion of more than 300,000 fr. Her family elms
months ago brought en action before the Civil
Tribunal of Charolles to have the will set aside, on 1,
the ground that it was invalid, because it was made
for the benefit of the "spiritual director" of the
testatrix, because it had been obtained by undue
influence, and because the legacy was not made to
the abbe personally, but on the understanding
that be would transfer it to the convent of St.
Joseph. The tribunal, after bearing all the pasties,
came to the conclusion that there was nothing to
prove the first two allegations, but that the third
was well founded, inasmuch as in a previous will
she had only left him 10,000 fr., and he had done
nothing to merit from her, personally, a larger
legacy. It therefore declared the will null and void.
Two days back the abbe appealed against this deli-
I sion to the Imperial Court of Dijon, and affirmed, in
support of it (and offered to do so on oath), that the
legacy was really made to him personally, not in
trust for the convent; but the court did not credit
him, and as the law does not allow legacies to be
made to a person to be traasferred to a religious
community, it confirmed the previous judgment.
The .Koniteur de tArrisie contains the following
remarks upon the cry of " French invasion " which
is raised in England:
Nothing as explain the "bind fear of Freer invasion
which certain journals strive to proposals in Baer& More-
over it Is ter from complimentary to the power of the great
mice to which they address theories' to wilsomer to
persaade it that a force capable of redeebet tt iesld be eel-
tented at a moment's notice. It is also aznasedierey that •
government which has given proofs at wisdom rid predawn
should be supposed to dream of timing the esnosest of the
United Kingdom, or era of a fraction of that have
country, without making immense repudiate which could
not be emosalod. Those who imagine that • numerous

as a neighbouring sort with the cone facility as

singular idea of warfare. The unthinking journals which
