PARIS, FRIDAY EYF.NINO.

Marshal Baraguay d'Hilliers, on assuming his
command at Tours, has published the following
order of the day :
Soldiers,—The Emperor has appointed m 5 to the supreme
command of the western divisions. My mission is to watch
over your instruction, your well-being, and to maintain in
this district that peace and tranquillity which were so happily
strengthened by oar last victories in the Crimea and the
Baltic. You made no default in the face of the enemy, and
I rely upon you to reduce the anarchists if they should ever
dare to rime against the Emperor's government, or the here.
dltary right of the Imperial Prince. We Can only barn one
thought, one my, " Vire la France !" " Viva la Empersur 1"

The following curious order of the day, published
by General Feray, commanding at Toulouse, dis-
closes a bad state of feeling between the military
and the civilians in that city.

Last night a soldier of the 92nd, while on sentry at the
military stores, rekeived on his shako a fragment of a bottle
which was thrown at him, and dunned him to such a degree
that he was unable to fire upon the rascal who had wounded
him. An hour afterwards five other Individuals insulted the
same sentry, making no account of his remonstrances, and
they only took to tight when he was at length on the point
of using his firelock. The general commanding the division
desires it to be understood that this kind of thing must not
happen again. The orders of a sentry are sacred ; no decent
person will attempt to violate them. Every chief of a post,
every sentry, ought to maintain the orders given to him at
' the price of his life, and should not hesitate to make a vigor-
ous use of his arms, whether to defend himself or, after
proper warning, to enforce compliance with his orders.
This order is to be read at the head of every corps in the
Toulouse, Muth 22.

I have learned from a source upon which I can
rely that there is a woeful discrepancy between the
figures of the last budget, as presented to the Corp.
Legislatif, and the facts as they have turned out.
You may see, by referring to the files of your journal,
that M. Magne brought forward a budget with a
surplu of 40 millions; the government prints
chanted in chorus prosperity songs, and proclaimed
that the "era of deficits" was closed. It now,
however, appears that instead of a surplus of
forty, there is a deficit of one hundred millions.
There has been a "scene" between the Emperor
and M. Magne. The latter says simply that he
was ordered to make out a budget, showing a
surplus, and he did so accordingly, and that
although he could group figures he cannot control
realities. There has long been a vague talk of the
dismissal of M. Magne, who is, however, a man of
intrinsic worth not to be easily replaced. I feel it
very difficult to credit the story that M. Fould
would consent to leave the Ministry of State to
accept the subordinate poet of the Finance Ministry.
Some change, however, is probable, and as I said a
few days since, change is the order of the day.

I believe it to be certain that M. Hausmann, the
Prefect of the Seine, has found himself under the
necessity of resigning his office. A difference
between himself and his wife of such a nature as
to compel the government to countenance the lady,
is said to be the cause. M. Valise, the Prefect of
Lyons, who arrived in Paris a few days since, will,
I believe, be the new Prefect.
It is remarked that none of the French journals
are permitted to translate the Emperor's condescend.
ing reply to the letter of Mr. Carpenter, of the
" Discussion Forum." This is another, among many
illustrations of the fact that the present policy of
the French government is to make one set of pro-
fessions in England, and another in France.
It is stated that a force of 150 mounted police will
be shortly established in Paris.
The Patrie mays that the elections for the three
seats for Paris, vacant by the death of General Ca.
vaignac, and the refusal of MM. Carnet and Gond-
china to take the oath, will take place on the 18th
and 19th of April. I believe it to be certain that
M. Jules Fevre will be one of the opposition candi-
dates.

Prince George of Saxony dined with the Emperor
yesterday, and went to the Opera Comique in the
evening, to see Quentin Durward.
The Bourse opened with tolerable firmness, but
became weaker towards the close. The Rent. fell
50. for cash, and 10c. for account, closing at 69fr. 85e.
in each cue. Mobilier fell 3fr. 75e. Railways va-
ried but little.

TURIN, MARCH 23.

At the sitting of to-day the Deputy Buffa put a
question to the President of the Council of Ministers
about the affair of the Cagliari, and asked for the
production of the documents and papers belonging
to it. Count Cavour answered that as the question
between the two governments was still pending,
it would not be quite consistent with diplomacy
usage to make known the acts and documents which
relate to it, but since the English Ministry
has acceded to a demand made by some
members of parliament, which was precisely similar
to that of the Deputy Buffs, Count Cavour added
that he would depart from the practices of diplomacy
and place in the hands of the President of the
Chamber all the papers respt sting the capture of the
Cagliari, excepting, however, the last note from the
Sardinian Government to the Neapolitan, which
Caraffa, the Neapolitan Minister, has perhaps not
yet received, and which remains as yet unanswered.
