FRANCE.
The following are more particular details of the

ceremonies of yesterday in Paris :
The presentation of the barrette to M. Donnet, the
Archbishop of Bordeaux, recently nominated Cardinal,
took place at 10 o'clock in the chapel of the Tuileries.
At 11 a grand breakfast, in honour of the new
Cardinal, was given by the President. It was at-
tended by several of the highest dignitaries of the
Church and the grand functionaries of State.
At 12 o'clock a review took place in the Court of
the Tuileries for the purpose of a third distribution
of the new medals. The troops reviewed consisted
of the 3d, 4th, 30tb, and 4.2c1 Regiments of Infantry
of the line, the 4th Regiment of chasseurs a cheval,
thy, 7th Regiment of Dragoons, and the 4th Battery
of Artillery, The crowd was not so numerous as on
the previous occasions, owieg perhaps to the steeple-
chase, which also took place yesterday, at La ilfarche,
the domai❑ of the painter Ary Scheffer, near the
village of Marne, about two miles from St. Cloud.
The review was over about half-pest one o'clock, and
the President, attended by a numerous staff and an
escort of curiassiers and chasseurs, returned by the
Rue de Rivoli to the Elysee at two o'clock. On his
passage, particularly at the Place de la Condorde,
Champs Elysee, and Avenu Marigny, he was re-
peatedly saluted with cries of " Vive Napoleon I"
a The Moniteur contains a list of soldiers on whom
the new military medal is conferred.
The Abbe Coquereau is appointed chief aumonier
to the fleet. It was the Abbe Coquereau who accom-
panied the Prince de Joinville to St. llelena when the
latter was charged with the commission to bring the
ashes of Napoleon to France.
"It is positively stated," says the Patric, " that
an order has been sent by the English Government
to the commander of the English naval squadron on
the western coast of Africa to raise the blockade of
the Gulf of Benin."
The Pupe having threatened to quit Rome in case
the Prince de Canino should be allowed by the
French to enter, his return to France is expected.
The Constitutionnel notices with satisfaction the
determination that has been come to by the Govern-
ment to transport to its colonies the class of male-
factors who have hitherto been confined in the
bagnes. This decision, says the Constitutionnel, is
at once a benefit conferred upon society, and an eco-
nomy to the State.
It says It is first of all certain that the labour
of the convicts is onerous to the State. It is calcu-
lated that the employment of free workmen, in place
of persons condemned to the bagne, would give
an economy of one million per annum. The sup-
port of the convicts is exceedingly dear, as it amounts
to lf. per day for each man. That support would
cost less in the colonial establishments. And there
at least the labour of the convicts would have the
result of giving to the country, after a certain time,
flourisb:ng colonies. That consideration will have
more weight at present, if the expenses of penal re-
form ,by the cellular system be compared with those
of penal reform by transportation. The expense of
the former is enormous. The report made by M.
Derenger, in 1847, to the Court of Peers, declares
that the first establishment of the cells costs at least
3,000 f. for each prisoner. It is consequently an
expense of upwards of 52 millions to place in cells the
the persons detained at the bagnes and central pri-
sons. But whilst the occupant of the cell does
scarcely anything for the state, and fast falls into
moral and physical decrepitude, the convict at the
penal colonies creates by his labour agricultural
wealth, and improves both in mind and body. Thus
the State gains colonies, and the convict the means of
rehabilitation. Penal reform reform by transporta-
tion is consequently for the Treasury both a good
action and an advantageous matter.
I is staled that General Teacher de la Pagerie,
formerly Aide-de-Camp to Prince Eugene Beauhar-
nais, and wLio has been residing at Munich, is shortly
expected at Paris in order to assume the functions of
Senator to whioh he is to be named.

the dissolution of the Burmese empire, and it would be
the duty of the Government to consider what should be
the course to be pursued. He knew that the Governor-
General would be subject to great pressure from a large
number of British merchants connected with the press
of Calcutta, who having exhausted all the forests on this
side of the frontier, were anxious to obtain an on-
tranKie into the deep forests on the Burmese side.
He would also bo subject to considerable pressure from
a blrge portion of the civil, and from the whole of the
rb.ilitary service, elated with the prospect of
)laving a new field opened to their energies. Ile (Lord
Ellenborough) could not view without apprehension
the annexation of any portion of the dominions of Ave,
because it would draw away from that part of the
empire where it was needed the energies of the British
inhabitant,
