In reference to the above decrees, the Moniteur
contains the following observations :
" The Government, firmly determined to prevent any
cause of disturbance, has taken measures against certain
persons whose presence in France might impede the re-
establishment of order. These measures are applied to
three categories. In the first are the individuals con-
victed of having taken part in the recent insurrections;
they will be
transported to French Guiana or to Algeria,
according to their degree of guilt. In the second are
the recognised chiefs of socialism ; their residence in
France would be likely to foment civil war; they will be
expelled from the territory of the Republic, and will be
transported should they return to it. In the third cate-
gory are included the political mon who have made
themselves remarked by their violent hostility to the
Government, and whose presence would be a cause of
agitation; they will be temporarily expelled from France.
Under existing circumstances, the duty of the Govern- '
merit is firmness; but it will know how to exercise its
repressive measures within just limits. The different
decrees which precede only regard the ex-representatives.
Marc-Dufraiso, Greppo, Miot, Math& and Richadet will
be transported to French Guiana."
The publication of these decrees has created a great
sensation in Paris, more particularly among the more
judicious supporters of the PRESIDENT himself, who
fancy they see in them a commencement of a more
general proscription ; they express a hope that the
PRESIDENT will not suffer himself to be misled by
those whose object it is to commit him with the
country. The MONTALEAIIIERT section of his entou-
rage have been the chief promoters of these decrees.
The Ornstitutionnel publishes an article signed by
M. CANNIER DE CASSAGNAC, which evidently is also
an inspiration from the congregation, breathing, as it
does, menaces against all Parliamentary Government,
which seems just at present to be honoured with the
peculiar hatred of the parti-pretre. In it the writer
adduces arguments to prove that there has been a
wonderful similitude between the state of society in
France, when the conqueror of Italy assumed the
reins of Government, and during the last two or
three years, since Louts NAPOLEON has been, he
says, impeded in his endeavours to improve the con-
dition of the various classes in the country. At
both periods, he argues, society was disturbed
by the attempts of ambitious parties, be-
longing to the higher ranks of society, to carry out
their own selfish views ; in the former, the sole aim
of the Girondins, the Constituents, the Montagnard,
and the Tnermidoriens, he declares, was to supplant
each other and exalt themselves ; whilst in these lat-
ter times the Legitimatists, the Orleanists, and the
Socialists strove each party for itself, without caring
what became of the others, or of society in general.
After sketching with a broad and rapid pencil these
points of assiw ilation, the article proceeds thus :
"oho conqueror of Italy and Egypt, whose mili-
tary genius has been appreciated by the present gene-
ration, but whose political genius will only be appreciated
by the generations to come, put an end to the con
filet of ambitions, vanities, and coteries, nod
restored to France an administrative, financial,
military, judicial, religious, scientific, and literary
organization. He replaced French society in its path,
and rendered possible 33 years of Parliamentary mo-
narchy, which France would never have had if the Em-
peror had not given her a true government, capable of
supporting and resisting them. Unfortunately for us the
Emperor found the political affairs of France engaged
on several points; whilst governing he had to effect,
what in financial language would be called the liqui-
dation of the French Revolution. Those old remnants
of operations commenced, complicated his views and his
acts especially abroad; but the true enemies under which
he fell were neither, in 1814 those who invaded the
province of Champagne, nor in 1815 those who invaded
the province of Artois; Napoleon was not conquered at
Waterloo by the Allies—he was conquered at Yaris by
lawyers."
The writer then proceeds to show what kind of go-
vernment is best suited to France at the present time.
He says

chimeras, the
the first and fundamental condition of a
" Elevation, force, and liberty of action of the central
eel serious government in France. Enterprising
and resolute kings have always been loved by her—in-
dolent rulers never. If these truths be indisputable—
and who is
and who can reasonably contest them?—to what intelli-
gent party, to what praoticsl doctrine,
sense can it cause pain to accept frankly and honestly
the necessary conditions of order, since neither parties,
doctrines, nor individuals can live and prosper, if society,
the mother of us all, does not live and prosper the first?
Without doubt in 1851 the old parties, desperately de-
votedto what man of
toxioated with their ambition, the Socialists assured of
their early victory, the terrorists already constructing
bags and

obstinancy, ferocity, and envy, believed and said that the
coup d'e'ist of the 2(1 of December opened the era of des-
potism; but the fundholders, enriched one-tenth by the
rise in the public funds; the landowners, who saw their
corn, wine, and brandy, which was refused the day
before, sought after on the morrow, with an increase of
one• fifth in price; honest and peaceable men reassured
in their properties and their lives—have perfectly known
how they ought to regard what was done; and seven and
a half millions of votes given to Louis Napoleon have fully
proved that in the eyes of all France the coup-d Nat of
2d of December opens the path to good policy, and re-
places the Government on the only basis that can give
it solidity and duration. It is true that France will no
longer have turbulent, tyrannical,
and factious assem-
blies to throw her into confusion; but she will have calm
assemblies, with clearly defined powers, to enlighten,
second, and strengthen the Government. Who, with
the exception of the chiefs of Parliamentary feuds-
lity,
can complain of this ? It is true that France will
no longer have Ministers obliged to be fine speakers, if
nothing else, and passing their lives in making only
speeches; but she will have special Ministers, occupying
themselves with administration. Who can complain of
this, except political advocates, passing their ter ms on
the benches of the Opposition? It is true that France
will have no more selfish and undisciplined functionaries,
considering their Places a patrimony, receiving a salary
from the Government, 1311 t not always giving it due de-
voteduess and fidelity; hut she will have functionaries de-
voted to the chief of the state, seconding him with all their
power, and not sheltering themselves behind any immu-
nity to betray hi
lt she -will have functionaries under-
standing that good and loyal services can only justify the
preference of which they were objects, amongst so many
as they of
others as worthy the places they occupy. Who
can
,complain, except those doubtful, dangerous, and
useless men, who wish to live at the expense of all Go-
vernments and to serve none faithfully? In this great
and radical change, inaugurated by the coup criltat of the
2d December, we see much inconvenience for ambitious
and mischievous men, but we
can only see advantages
for France."

The concl

usion at which the article of the Con-
stiitutronnel arrives at last is this—that it will be true
and capitalists, to allow themselves to be governed in
the manner which the hand of PROVIDENCE, it:de-

clares, has pointed out that course being the only one,
the writer affirms,

The Patric contains the following article on the
decree lately issued for regulating cqffs and wine-
shops:—
_ _ .

In a great number of localities, the law on the clubs
had long been eluded. The demagogues were accus-
tomed to meet in certain coffee or public-houses, to carry
on openly their propaganda,
and their preachinga were
the more dangerous from their speculating on the ex-
citation of drunkenness. The club also dissimulated it-
self under a commercial designation; it had a sign, it
paid for a licence, and
when ouce it was regular as re-
garded the tax-gatherers it thought itself not bound to-
wards the Government, an abuse, rendered every

day more manifest, called for an efficacious repression.
The decree of the 29th ultimo provides for that. Its
second article authorises the shutting up of coffee and
public-houses after a condemnation for a violation of the
laws and regulations concerning these establishments,
that is, for selling adulterated liquors of a nature to in-
jure the health of the people. This article has, so to
speak, passed unperceived; people have only occupied
themselves with the political bearing of the decree; and
yet questions of public health rise to the height of social
questions, or, rather, are confounded with them; for, in
order to moralise the people we must watch over their
welfare. To speak only of what we see, there are
about 6,000 marchands de vies in Paris, who, with
some exceptions, are forced by the exigencies of compe•
tition to give to the public wine more or less adulterated.
We will not here reproduce the figures which we pub-
lished on a previous occasion; but we will quote some.
According to the octroi returns, there are annually
brought into Paris a little more than 1,000,000 hectolitres
of wine, and yet the consumption amounts to 1,500,000
hectolitres. From this difference between the entries
and the consumption, it evidently appears that those
500,000 additional hectolitres are taken from the
Seine. Thus, 50,000,000 litres of water are sold to the
public, without entrance duties, under the appearance of
wine, without counting all the mixtures and injurious
adulterations invented by traders. It is clear for every
one that the marchauds de "in, if their number were re-
duced to just proportions, would have no need to have
recourse to those fraudulent ineasurs which compromise
the health of the workmen, without promoting their
private interests. There ure few marchands de yin
who carry on a profitable business. The multipli-
city of places for the sale of liquors, which always tend
to increase, does not allow them to derive from their
illicit commerce the r.7.-At which they would obtain from
an honest and regular trade, if the number of establish-
ments of the kind were limited. We know that com-
mercial liberty, as practised, opposes such a limitation.
But liberty is not fraud. If, by repressive measures,
secretly executed, the number of marchands de vin be
reduced, the object which we pursue will be perfectly
attained. The decree of the 29th December places the
sellers of liquors to be drunk on the premises under
the alternative of selling their goods without any in-
jurious adulteration, or of having their houses closed.
Under the conditions in which the retail trade in
wine is at present placed, it appears to us impossible
for it to give up the adulterations which alone sup-
port it. Let the decree, then, be executed with vigi-
lance, and a number of houses will be inevitably
closed. Two thousand marchands de via can easily
supply the consumption. Reduced to this number, which
leaves room for equitable competition, it will be easy for
them to give wholesome liquors to consumers, and to get
from them a remunerative price. Everybody would
evidently gain thereby. Commercial liberty would be
respected, and the health of the people would not have
to suffer from its abuses."

The writer in the Patrie must entertain extraordi-
nary notions of commercial liberty, if he considers
that it can be promoted by arbitrarily seeking to
diminish competition through the direct interference
of the law in matters of trade and commerce ; such
interference is the logical deduction from the doctrines
of M. Louis BLANC and the Socialists, but is clearly
an infringement upon the principles of commercial
liberty.
M. CREMIEUX has resumed the practice of his pro-
fession as an advocate.

15th. It is stated that M. TIMERS is about to publish
a pamphlet, under the title, Appeal to Europe.'
Madame GEORGES SAND, on her part, is in retirement
in the provi ace of Berry, and is at present engaged
in preparing Memoirs of her Life' for publication."
The mother of M. TRIERS has just expired at Ba-
tignolles, where she has long resided on a pension
allowed her by her son. M. TRIERS was the only
child of this lady, although his father had other chil-
dren by a former marriage.

LANNES DE MONTEBELLO, Duke D'ELCHINGEN, has
just left this place, after taking leave of the 7th regi-
ment of Chasseurs-a-cheval, which he has commanded
during five years."

General 173OURJOLLY has issued an order of the day
to the troops under his command in the 12th, 13th,
and 14th military divisions, declaring that no soldier
is to quit his quarters without being armed, so that
he may defend himself in the event of being attacked.
Two soldiers belonging to the garrison of Bordeaux,

The Illoniteur of Sunday publithes a dispatch from
Admiral LEBLANC, the maritime Prefect of Brest, an-
nouncing that the Souffleur steamer, which had been
sent out from that port to search for any per-
sons who might have escaped from the wreck
of the Amaz)n, had returned, and un hap-
pily without any success. For the greater portion of
the time during which the S ouffleur was cruising
about, the weather was excessively thick. On the
morning o: the 6th the Souffleur fell in with several
ships entering the Channel, but they could give no
information with respect to the unfortunate objects
sought for. After cruising about for some time
longer, the Souflieur returned to Brest.
