The following anecdote in reference to M. EMILE
DE GIRARDIN will be perused with interest. It is
thus mentioned by the Emancipation of Brussels :
" M. EMILE DE- GIRARDIN is on the point of return-
ing to France. It may be remembered that his
mother-in-law, Madame SOPHIA GAY, died at the be-
ginning of this month. A short time after that
event, M. DE GIRARDIN was informed by one of his
friends that the PRESIDENT of the Republic, consider-
ing that bis presence might be useful to his family,
was disposed to allow him to return if he made a
direct request to that effect. On hearing this, M. DE
GIRARDIN wrote from Brussels a few days since a
letter to the following effect Monsieur le PRES'.
DENT,—A decree of the month of January banished
me from France. Considerations of propriety render
my presence in Penis necessary at this moment. I
beg you, therefore, to suspend the decree which has
condemned me to exile.—Accept my salutations, &c.'
In reply to this letter M. EMILE DE GIRARDIN re-
ceived his passport for Paris."
M. CLEMENT THOMAS has been ordered to leave

ara, in Dalmatia, states that a coal
mine of excellent quality has just been discovered
near the town of Penitime, in the district of Spalato.
This is the fifth discovery of the same kind made
iwithin the last three years in the Austrian states.
This fact is rendered, perhaps, the less interesting by
the recent discovery of Dr. Becnorrazn.

noeation."
