PARIS, SATURDAY EV2l'4lllO.

A despatch from Berlin announces that the Ring
has given the royal smut to the new communal law
for the Rhenish Provinces. It had been hoped that
this law, which completely changes the liberal com-
munal institutions of these provinces, would not have
been promulgated. Great discontent prevails on the
subject in Rhenish Prussia. That the Prussian
government should have taken this unpopular steptit
a time when France is supposed to be on the look-
out to take advantage of any excitement on the
frontier is considered most extraordinary.
The Debate contains an article on the Credit Mo-
bilise in which it describes, at great length, the put
operations and Inters prospects of that institution.
This article is understood to be, in point of fact, no.
thing more than an advertisement, pail for at an
unusually high rate.

suits. Her publication, however, lately caused her
