PARIS, SCNDAT ETRNINU.

The Pattie announces, in the following studiously
worded paragraph, the important news that the
French government has withdraa n its objections to
the regency of M. Buoncompagni :
We received the news of the designation d K. Baoscom-
peril, as we did that of the nomination of Pilaw de Carig-
nan to be regent of Central Italy, with a rimers which ap-
peared tons conformable to the prlociplt sof French policy.
As it was declared by the looliteur, on the occasion of
the election of Prince de Caripan, that the questions
submitted to the oongrese were not to be preju-
diced, it wee important that Piedmont should not take
advantage of a situation which would have solved a question
of right by the authority of the fait accompli. We believe
we know that the Pielmontese government, taking into coo-
. sideradce the scruples of the cab'net of the Tugeries, has
I loyally declared that Prises Carignae, In declining the.
regency for himself, and in delegating It to M. Buoncom-
pagni, intenda pointelly to enter into the views of the
French government. The acceptance of the regency by a
prince of the house of Savoy would have almost involved
the settlement of the dynastic and territorial question. The
designation of M. Buonoorapagal has • totally different
character. It responds merely to • requirement of public
order, and it reserves for the congress that which the Em-
peror Napoleon and Victor Ermariael, as well as the BM..
peror of Austria himself are aped to observe—namely.
the plenitude of its competence. Thus considered, M.
Buottoompaimrs nomination will doubtless have a very
different character in the eyes of the French government.
It must now be regarded u an obstacle to revolutionary
eve•taalltlss, w►ich might have comprised the ballets
cases, and consequently as • guarantee for the independ-
ence of the jurisdiction of &mops, which has already been
Invested with the decision of this great canes by the victories
of Frames sad Piedmont, and by the treaties of Zurich.
The Pattie also states that it is only tc morrow
that the French government will issue its letters of
convocation for the congress.

The Pays tau• qualifies the news that Fecamp is
to be made a war port :
Several provincial journals pretend that Fioarisp is to be-
come • war port, and that surveys have been ordered with
that view. We do not believe that there is any intention to
create at Fdoamp • great maritime establishment similar to
Brest or Cherbourg, bat only a harbour of refuge capable of
receiving men of war in rose of nor f.

There is a talk of building magnificent official
residences in the neighbourhood of the Invalid.. for
all the marshals of France. A project of the kind
was ventilated in the time of the tint empire.
The following communicated note hal been
addressed to the newspapers by the Minister of the
Interior:

In reference to a prosecution spinet a recent pamphlet,
the Nbats, Press*, and Opinion Nationale, ask whether it
is true that the government thinks of arrogating to Itself the
right to seize a publication definitively without going on to
demand a judgment. The preliminary seizure of an in-
criminated book or pamphlet is a measure the reason for
which is obvious to ammon sense, and one expressly
authorised by our criminal law. It i• provisional during
the "instruction," but it can only become definitive after a
judicial condemnation, and must be raised either in case of
en acquittal, or of an abandonment of the prosecution. Such
is the law—its provisions are and will continue to be faith-
fully executed.

This communiquA evadere one rely important part
of the accusation which it professes to answer, viz.:
—that in the case of M. de Niontalembert no inti-
mation was made within the legal period whether
the prosecution was intended to be gone on with or
not. The government doctrine easumee illegally
that a prosecution may be kept hanging over a
writer's head for an indefinite time, his book being
impounded all the while.
