FRANCE.

The following.statement appears in the llioniteur :
" It has been seen from the report of the general-
in-chief of the army of Paris to the Minister of War
on the events of the 3d and 4th December—a report
remarkable for its clearness, precision, and simplicity,
that the loss of the army in these two days amounted
to 1 officer and 23 men killed, and 17 officers and 167
men wounded. These results have been since changed
by the death of three soldiers from the effects of their
wounds, making the number of killed 27. Up to this
time the number of civilians killed and wounded has
not been known in an official manner, and the most
exaggerated statements have been put forward. Au-
thentic documents have been drawn up on the subject,
and we now know that M. Trebuchet, chef de bureau
at the Prefecture de Police, charged with that duty,
has taken an exact account of all that fell. From
this examination, it appears that there were killed on
the Boulevarde Monttn rtre and Poissonniere, and
taken to the ambulance ia the Cite Bergere, 35 ;
carried to the cemetery of Montmartre by order of
the police, 3 ; carried to the Morgue from the barri-
cades, 43 ; died in the hospitals (most of them in-
surgents) or at their residences, 110; making a total
of 191. The number of civilians wounded is only
87 ; but it is evident that the number would have
been much greater if all the insurgents wounded had
made themselves known. Those only are known who
were seriously wounded and taken to the hospitals.
It was the same in June, 1848, when the number of
killed amounted to 1,402, whilst only about 260
wounded were found."
The grand ball to be given by General de St.
Arnaud will take place on Feb. 11, at the hotel of
the department of War.
General Prim and General Ortega have arrived in
Paris from Madrid.
By decree, dated the 27th, the company formed
under the title of the " 'Western Railway Company,
has been authorised, and its statutes approved of.
A solemn religious service was performed on the
15th inst. at Stockholm for the repose of the soul of
the late Marshal Soult, who was chevalier of the
royal order of the Seraphim, which is the oldest
order in Sweden, and only conferred on members of
reigning families, and the most illustrious personages.
All the members of the order who were in the capital
were present at the ceremony, during the celebration
of which the bells of all the churches rang a funeral
peal.
The experiment of cultivating rice in France ap-
pears to have succeeded perfectly. A piece of ground
of 100 hectares in extent (250 acres) was sown with
rice last year in the landes of Arcachon, near Bor-
deaux, and the crop proved a highly satisfactory one.
The seed is sown about the middle of April, and al-
most immediately appears above ground. Guano is
found the manure which suits it best in France.
About 12,500 f. are considered the capital necessary to
convert 100 hectares of landes into rice-grounds,
being 125 f. the hectare.
