We 'have received ttse Paris journals of yesterday.
The Moniteur publishes the following notice :---
" a decision of the Mieister of Finnece,s, the
irtereat attached to Buns du Trtsor is fixed as fol-
lows, from and after Monday, the 7th of Juno cur-
rent:—
" At two per cent. per annum for bonds having from
four to five months to run.
" At 2i per cult. for bonds baying six to eleven months
to run.

" At 3i per cent. on bonds of a year."
This diminution of the rate of interest had become
necessary in consequence of the continued increase of
the receipts in the Treasury. These receipts amount
at the present day to 94 millions, although the reim-
bursements which the Treasury had to make to the
capitalists who did not agree to the conversion are
entirely effected.

M. (.4RANIER DE CASSAGNAC'S articles on Belgium
are reprobated at considerable length in the Ministe-
rial Pays, the Presse, and the Sieele. The Debats
briefly expresses its astonishment at the introduction
of the name of the Chief of the State in the article
disavowed by the Moniteur. The Ind'ependance of
Brussels has likewise entered the field. Neverthe-
less, we find in the Constitutionnel a reply of M.
VERON, the director of that journal, to the commu-
nicated note in the Moniteur. This article will pro-
bably cause great sensation, and will excite much
interest, as to the notice that will be taken of it by
the Government. M. VERoN Says—
" The Moniteur contains a serious accusation against
the article on Belgium, published in the Constitutionnel
by M. Granier do Cassagnac. The article is charged
with infidelity or exaggeration. Tbat article had, be-
sides, produced a lively impression at the Bourse. In
presence of these two facts, we cannot refrain from
giving some explanations to justify in the eyes of the
public the insertion in the Constitutionnel of the two ar-
ticles on Belgium, by M. Grainier de Cassagnac. Since
the re-election of the Prince President of the Republic,
we have not had the honour of approaching the Chief of
the State; M. Granier de Cassagnac only has brought
us several articles as the expression of the ideas of the
Prince President. We were obliged to refuse the inser-
tion of one of these articles; but from a sentiment of
respectful conciliation and of deference, that refusal,
given with regret in order to fulfil a conscientious duty,
rendered more easy for us the admission of the new
articles of M. Granier de Cassagnac, emanating from
the same source. There is particularly one fact that
we should not have allowed to appear in the columns
of the Constitutionnel, as it compromised the name of
an honourable man, if it had not been affirmed to us
that this fact and this personal accusation were gua-
ranteed by the word of the Chief of the State. The first
article of M. Granier do Cassagnac on Belgium appeared
to have been inspired by a movement of rancour and
anger not justified by the complaints of which the
article made itself the echo. We therefore begged
our colleague to modify the tone of the article, and
to render it more moderate. When M. Granier de Cas-
sagnac read his second article to us, we confess that, in
face of the positive affirmations of our colleague, we did
not put this useless question to him, ' are you authorised
to fetter the policy of the Chief of the State in matters
so eminently serious and delicate? Have you made
yourself acquainted with his views and intentions?' We
did not for a moment doubt but that M. Granier de
Cassagnac was the interpreter of the ideas, and even of
the sentiments, of the Prince President of the Republic.
It would have been suspecting his veracity, or supposing
him capable of carrying his indiscretion as far as a
breach of confidence. We shall only add one word
more, and that is, that we still firmly believe, even after
the article of the Moniteur, that M. Granier do
Cassagnac was completely authorised. It is
necessary, in fact, once for all, that the public should
be made • acquainted with the meaning of the
convenient and anonymous signature Communi-
qué. Are we to understand by the word communiqué
that it is the Cabinet, the Ministers who speak? Or
does it veil the signature of the Chief of the State? It is
necessary that this question should be solved ou account
of the contradiction given by the Moniteur to the Con-
stitutionnel. We have lately published several articles
by M. Granier de C sisagnae, under the firm conviction
that they suited the pelio o' the Chief of the Seise.
Having no longer the honour of conferring with Prince
Louis Napoleon on questions on the order of the
day, I was obliged to accept M. Granier de Cas-
sagnac as an authorised intermediary. We regret
at being compelled to give this recital by the ar-
ticle of the Moniteur; but we cannot allow such
berious accusations to weigh on us, or even to re-
main without defence under the blow of a warning
from the Ministry of General Police, for the publication
of false or incorrect news. It would be wrong to con-
clude from all this that we shall change our attitude and
our language. We cannot forget that the Prince Presi-
dent is the elect of eight millions of the people, that he
has saved France, and that it is ho alone who can still
protect us from Socialism and from formidable re-
volutions."
At the end of this article are the following lines,
signed by M. GRANIER DE CASSAGNAC:—
" It will be remarked that the communicated article
published in the Moniteur in no way disavows the policy
which we believe should, for the interest of the Govern-
ment, be followed towards Belgium."
The PRINCE PRESIDENT on Saturday again visited
the works at the Louvre. He was in an open car-
riage, and alighted several times, and going amongst
the workmen, left with them marks of his generosity.
The PRINCE was everywhere received with loud ac-
clamations.
General DE LAWCPTINE reviewed on Sunday the
National Guards of the communes of Issy, Vanves,
Clamart, Plessis-Piquet, Grenelle, Montrouge, and
Vaugirard. After the review the General and his
staff were entertained by the officers of the divisions
which he had reviewed at a breakfast, at a restaurant
in the Champs Elysees. The health of the PRINCE
PRESIDENT was proposed by one of the Colonels.
The toast was drunk with great enthusiasm, and re-
plied to in an appropriate speech by General DE
LAWG:STINE. The health of the General was after-
wards proposed, and received with loud acclamations,
as was a toast to 0‘ the union of the National
Guard
and the army," and another to the memory of the
EMPEROR.

The France Centrals of the 6th, published at Blois
says—" N. FIALIN DE PERSIGNY, the Minister
of
the Interior, arrived here the day before yesterday,
and left yesterday for Tours." The Journal de

of the Mi-
nister at Tours, with his young wife, both preserving
a strict incognito. After visiting the various public
buildings of the town, they
took their departure on
Friday afternoon.

writer of that name.
