The illoniteur contains the following report from the
Minister of Marine, addressed to the PRINCE PRESI-
DENT of the Republic
mons?igneur,—Concentration of forces and unity of
direction increase naval power. The policy of France
and the interest of our commerce require that the ves-
sels of the Stats show themselves on all the seas of the
globe; but the more our stations are scattered or multi-
plied, the more necessary it becomes that they should, at
a given moment, be able to reunite, to concentrate their
means of action, and to ranee themselves under the
authority of a single chief. You have already autho-
rised me to place under the same command our two naval
divisions of India and of China. I have the honour to
propose to you to reunite under the authority of the
same chief our two stations of Western America and
the Pacific, and to confide the superior command to Ad-
miral Febvrier Despointes.—l have, &c.,
(Signed) " THEODORE Ducos."
A decree follows in accordance with this recom-
mendation.

The work of draining the Lake of Haarlem, which
is being carried on with the greatest activity, has led
to the discovery of an immense mass of human re-
mains, deeply imbedded in the mud, and placed pre-
cisely on the spot where, according to a topographic
chart, laid down in 1511, and which has always been
considered as perfectly accurate, the unfortunate vil-
lage of Nierewenkirk was situated, and which in
1539 was swallowed up by one of those irruptions
of the North Sea which formed the immense Lake of
Haarlem.
