not do so no one else could.
The UNDER SHERIFF said that it was a question for
the jury whether the defendant hal any coulrol over the
property.
The jury ultimately found a special verdict, that de-
fendant was entillA i
to, but not n pmsersion of, certain
funds now in the Cuurt of Chancery.
It took a considerable time to decipher and transfer
the minutes of the judgment, and the Under-Sheriff pro-
ceeded with the other cases, so that the verdict might be
recorded in proper form.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The lioniteur publishes a second warning which
has been nerved upon the Constitutionne/ in conse-
quence of M. VERON'S article of the Bth inst. The
effect of this second warning is to give to the Govern-
ment the power of su•pending, end even suppressing,
the journal in virtue of Article 32 of the Law on the
Press, decreed on the 17th of February, 1852.
We read in the Moniteur :—" Some journals have
ascribed to the Government the project of proposing
a lsw for interdicting work and sales on Sundays
and holidays. The Government never entertained any
such idea. It desires that the religious law shall be
respected ; it has prescribed to contractors for works
which it causes to be executed that they shall not em•
ploy men on the days which religion consecrates to
repose; but there stops its duey and its right ; it
does not belong to the civil power to intervene,
except by the example it gives, in an affair of con-
science."
The PRINCE PRESIDENT of the Republic went on
Tuesday in an open carriage to Vincennes, and wit-
nessed experiments with the new description of gun-
carriage which he has invented. He returned by the
quais. He was only accompanied by an otficier
d'ordormance.
The correspondents of some of those English papers
which have shown themselves least favourable to the
Government of Louis NAPOLEON received invita-
tions to present themselves in the cabinet of M. LA-
TOUR DUMOULIN, director of the department of the
press in the ministry of police. On Tuesday after-
noon the correspondent of the Daily News waited
on M. LATOUR Dumounisr, whose manner is repre-
sented as being characterised by perfect politeness
and suavity. The tenor of his communication was
that the French Government had observed attentively
since the 2d of December the attitude of the Eng-
lish press, and regretted to perceive that many of the
London newspapers were not only hostile to the pre•
sent Government, but outrageous towards the
head of the state. Now the French Government
did not ask for support et the hands of any
foreign newspaper ; it did not even wish to depre-
cate opposition; but it was determined not to
allow the person of the head of the state to
be treated with outrage and insult, and his
name to be dragged through the mire (traine dans la
bone). It was not only in the letters of the corre-
spondents that this offensive manner of mentioning
the person of the Prince LOUIS NAPOLEON was prat •
tised, but also in the leading articles. But in either
case, for the future, the person of the correspondent
would be held responsible, inasmuch as it was only
fair to suppose that he furnished the false news on
which the insulting appreciations contained in the
leading articles were founded. The correspondent
was then given to understand that if either the Paris
letter of the Daily News, or the leading articles of
that paper, contained any expressions outraging the
person of the PRINCE PRESIDENT, he would be consi-
dered as the responsible person, and be forthwith
expelled from France. (The correspondent of the
Morning Chronicle and Advertiser, whom the direc-
tor also has seen, has received a similar warning.)
The correspondent of the Daily News protested
against this principle. He stated that if the French
Government made the Paris correspondent of an
English paper responsible for whatever appeared in
that paper relative to France, it would act neither ac-
cording to the principles of justice, law, nor inter-
national usage. It was known that the responsibility
could only lie with the editor of the newspaper in
England. A correspondent formed no part of what
the French call the redaction of a paper. He was a
private person, who sent confidential letters, the re-
sponsibility of whose publication he had nothing
whatever to do with. The remedy of the French PRE-
SIDENT lay clearly against the newspaper, which he

took this means of redress. He caused a criminal
information to be filed against the editor of the news-
paper, who was defended by Sir JAMES.MACSINTOSII.
The upshot of the affair was the condei;nation of the
newspaper to considerable damages. M. LATOUR-
DUMOULIN answered that the French Government
could not accept the theory of the irresponsibility of
correspondents. For the charge of uttering false
news, although it seemed scarcely necessary to touch
this question, the correspondent remarked that such
errors were necessarily incidental to the journalist's
vocation, but that they were in his case at least never
intentionally committed. In all events, he was sure
that the Daily News would have no objection to insert
such rectifications of false news as the Government
would communicate. M. LATOUR DUMOULIN
said that the Government was anxious to
afford every facility to English correspon-
dents for sending correct news ; it would even have no
objection to communicate at times important docu-
ments which it could not permit to be published in
France. For instance, the Count DE CEAMBORD'S
letter, although the Independance Belge was seized
for the publication of it, would have been confided
without difficulty to an English newspaper. These
and other civil offers were made politely by M. LA-
TOUR DUMOULIN, who acquitted himself of his deli-
cate task with no want of civility. But his ultimo-

our contemporaries as to political proceedings in
France, it is certainly to be deplored that very violent
personal attacks have been frequently directed by
some of the most influential among them against the
PRINCE PRESIDENT, giving but too just grounds for
remonstrance. Nevertheless we can by no means
acknowledge the propriety of M.LATOUR DUMOULIN'S
views, as to the individual responsibility of a foreign
correspondent.
Captain KLEBER, who was condemned to death by
a court-martial for the affair of the 13th of June, and
whose sentence was commuted by the PRESIDENT of
the Republic to imprisonment, has just been set at
liberty by a further extension of clemency spontane-
ously accorded by the PRINCE.

assertion that he had offered to invade England if the
Provisional Government of the Republic would place

only 12,000 troops at his disposal, in stating that

The affair of the " conflict," set up by the Prefect
of the Seine on the subject of the decrees against the
Orleans property is to be pleaded before the Council
of State on Saturday. The report will be presented
by M. LEON CORNUDAT, a Member of the Council of
State, and M. RIVERCEON will address the Council
as Government Commissioner. N. PAUL FABRE and
M. MATHIEU BODET will plead on behalf of the Or-
leans family.
M. SENTINI, conductor of the malle-poste from
Epernay to Sedan, has been nominated guardian of
the tomb of NAPOLEON at the Invalides, with a
salary of 3,000 f. a-year. He was one of the persons
who accompanied the EMPEROR to Elba, and after-
wards proposed to accompany him to St. Helena. The
EMPEROR bequeathed him 20,000 f.
The Union states that during the whole of the term
of his imprisonment at St. Pelagie, M. PROUDRON
wore a white blouse end a blue cotton nightcap.
The Corsaire of yesterday, in giving an article
about the Corn Exchange in Liverpool, puts the name
of the building in English, but, fearing that its
readers may not understand it, adds a translation of
it in a parenthesis and calls it l'Echange des Cornes !
An ex-gendarme, nearly 100 years of age, named
HEILMANN, died a few days ego at Colmar. He
formed part of the detachment which conducted
ROBESPIERRE and SAINT•JUST to the scaffold.
