We read in the Pays :
" Tim mission of cousency confided to General de
Goyon by the President of the Republic continues to
effect its object. During the last fortnight thirty pri-
soners, most of them fathers of families, have been set at
liberty,' and they have all been loud in their expressions
of gratitude and devotedness. The day before yesterday
nine more condemned to‘transportation, belonging to the
departments of the Yonne and the Aube, were released.
Pastports for their departments ware delivered to them,
and they left Paris the same day. Four others, whose
cases were more serious, have kizolms„, commutation of
their sentences; and are tintitfurther Orders to reside at
a prescribed distance from their former homes. They
are Bollerait, an architect at Tonnerre; Cutalle, of
the Yonne; Labosse, sen., of the Aube; and Gervais, of
Troyes. There only now remains in the forts about 300
prisoners, on whose cases a decision will shortly be
come to."

By order of the PRINCE PRESIDENT of the Republic,
an addition of from 100 f. to 200 f., according to length
of service, has been made to the salaries of the letter-
carriers in Paris, upwards of 500 in number.
The PRINCE PRESIDENT of the Republic has con-
ferred the cross of the Legion of Honour on M. DES-
MAZURES, a BAgic.n, who served in the grande
armee. It was promised him by the Emperor .NAro-
LEON himself.

The Paris correspondent of the Daily News writes
as follows, dated Thursday evening :
" The correspondents of the London papers who have
been threatened with expulsion by the French Govern-
ment, having apprised the British Ambassader of the
nature of their interviews with the director of the press
at the Ministry of Police, were invited this morning to
the cabinet of his Excrrency. Lord Cowley, ,having
evinced great interest in the subject, and warm sym-
pathy with the cause of the freedom of the English
press, stated what he thought the most adviseble course
to be taken for the present. Until he received instruc-
tions from his Government he should limit his proceed-
ings to endeavouring, in an extra-official capacity, to
ascertain the real intention of the French Government
on the subject. For this purpose, he would demand an
interview with the Minister of Police and with the Mi-
nister of Foreign Affairs. He should thus be enabled
to find out whether the intention attributed by M.
Latour-Dumoulin to the French Government did
really exist, and was avowed by the Ministry;
whether the Government would seriously hold the
Paris correspondents of the London press responsible for
whatever French news or comments thereupon appeared
in their respective journals, and was prepared to carry
into execution the threat of expulsion. When his Ex-
cellency bad aecertained this point, which ho expected
to be able to do immediately, he would communicate the
result of his inquiries to the correspondents. In the
meantime, perhaps they might find it expedient to bold
a little meeting among themselves, and agree upon what
was the better course fir them to adopt, in case the
French Government were seriously bent upon executing
the threat held out. The correspondents, having thanked
his Excellency for the prompt and earnest manner in
which be bad taken up their case, then withdrew."
The Courrier des Ardennes contradicts the state-
ment that M. CIININ-GRIDAINE) jun., bad refused to
take the oath as member of the Council-General of
the Ardennes. That gentleman, it states, sent in
from Atarseilies, on April 26, his adhesion in writing.
General BEDEAU has left Mum, and taken up' his
residence at Brussels.

A Paris correspon lent of the IncMpendance of
Brussels states that M. GRANIEN DE CASSAGNAC WAS
not invited to a dinner given et the Elys6e, a few days
ago to the deputies in his department in the Legibla-
tive Body.

The— Paris correspondent of the Independance of
Brussels, writing on Wednesday, says—
" M. Vero' Rave the first of his fetes yesterday. He
convoked only 25 guests to the Tuilorie at Au'euil, and
offored them Cie specti:clo of a balloon ascent by ci,j-
-6,1-d, together with a grand dinner, followed by a coll-
een,. I told that Generals Magas'', LawceAine,
Daumas, end d'Llaurpoul, who had been invite:l, caused
themselves to be excused. Nevertheless, the gathering
of artists, literary men, high functionaries, and officers,
was a very brilliant ono. Malleron also gave another
grand dinner on Wednesday. the Ministers had been
invited to it, but the Union states that they sent back
their invitations. M. Billault, President of the Legis-
lative Body, who had likewise been invited, did not
attend."

A letter from, Eu of the 9th says :—" The
agents of the domain came yesterday to take
possession of the grand park, and of a pavilion situated
in it, both of which are let to M. ESTANCELIN, ex-
representative of the people. That gentleman '
having refused to open the gates of the park, the
Mayor, after having called out the gendarmerie, made
the usual summons to M. ESTANCELIN in the name of
the law, and then had the gates opened by a lock-
smith. The habitation of M. ESTANCELIN was
respected. The forest of Eu was taken possession of
on Monday by the agents of the domain."
