The Illoniteur contains the following satisfactory
statement :
" The indirect revenue increases with the most re-
markable rapidity. The receipts for January, 1852, had
been inferior to those of 1851. The receipts for Fe-
bruary, 1852, exceed those of 1851 by 2,000,000 f. The
i E i,
in rt
ofte
receipts for March, 1852, exceed those of March, 1851,
by nearly 5,000,000 f. This rapid increase is a striking
sign of the revival of business, and of the development of
work. Amongst these elements the registry duties are
particularly to bo remarked; up to March they had
been very trifling, and in January and February had
hardly equalled those of the corresponding months of
1851. In March they exceed those of the correspond-
ing month by 1,500,000 f."
The Unio* says :
" It appears certain that the grand review which was
spoken of for the beginning of May, will take place on
the 10th of that month, on which occasion the eagles
will be delivered to the different regiments. The whole
of the Ist military division will be assembled on that day
in the Champ do Mars. The various regiments will be
represented by the colonel, a chef de tatailion, a captain,
a standardbearer, two non-commissioned officers, and
two privates. On the 4th the army of Paris will give
the President a grand ball at the Ecole Militaire."
A letter from Rouen states that Passion Week,
which is usually remarked for a falling off in busi-
ness, hes been this year quite the reverse. A num-
ber of foreigners have visited the place, and the sales
have been considerable. Several large orders have
also been received from Paris both for calicoes and
printed cottons, and prices have been firmly main-
tained.
Accounts from Thuron and other manufacturing
districts in the Haut Rhin speak favourably of the
state of trade. The machine manufacturers have
been more particularly favoured, and large orders
have been received in consequence of the strike in
England, which will give employment for more than
a year.
The journals of the south state a great drought
prevails throughout all that part of France. In the
memory of man the department of the Gard has
never suffered so severely from a want of water.
M. EssILE DE GIRARDIN has received a formal
notice of warning from the Minister of Police on the
subject of his series of articles, which, under the title
of " Conservons la Republique," have attracted a large
share of public attention.
The following is the form of the warning given by
a ttentat
the Minister of General Police to the responsible
editor of the Presse:—
" Tho Minister General of Police, considering Art.

"On arriving at Neu of theth e followingN i e yre .....

mental commission was immediately convoked, and afier
a minute examination of all the documents, 74 of the
prisoners out of 228 ',condemned to transportation were
either set at liberty or bad their punishments commuted.
On the let he arrived at Come, 35 out of 185 prisoners
were released, and before quitting the prison they all
signed a formal engagement to renounce for ever all Po-
litical,intrigues. On the 2d the general arrived at Cla-
mecy, but where; from the gravity of the charges
against them, only 52 out of 592 prisoners were considered
deserving of clemency. The general, during his mission,
has directed the clemency of the Prince President more
particularly ou poor and ignorant men, fathers of fami-
lies, and sons of aged parents, at the same time that he
has given pecuniary assistance to the wives and children
of such as still remain in confinement."
" A decree," says the Public," is shortly to fix the
period of the new elections in the place of General
CAVAIGNAC, M. CARROT, M. HERON, and M. RE'
NOVARA who have given in their resignation as mem-
bers of the Legislative Body."
We read in the Public:—"Art. 24 of the new Con-
stitution declares that the sittings of the Senate are
not to be public. A journal states that the Senate
intends publishing the minutes of its sittings in the
manner adopted by the Legislative Body. We can
affirm that the assertion of the journal in question is
quite erroneous."
The article for which the Corsaire was seized on
Wednesday is entitled, "Petit Dialogue sur de tres-
petites choses." The writer of it and the responsible
editor of the paper are to be prosecuted for exciting to
hatred and contempt of the Government."

of Prince SCHWARZENBERG will not cause any change
in the internal or the foreign policy of Austria.
