FRANCE.

PARIS, JULY 2

An Imperial decree has been published creating
:he office of superintendent-general of the theatres.
M. Baciocchi has been nominated to this post.

In the Presse of this evening M. Emile de
Girardin announces that this journal has completed
27 years of existence. In a short address to the
public M. de Girardin claims credit for the zeal
consistency the Presse has always displayed. "It
supported the Monarchy of 1830 till its last labour
—the 24th of February; and the Republic of 1848
till its last day—the 2d of December." The Presse
was never the organ of opposition. It was
founded as a supporter of Government, 'but of
"Government having liberty and peace for end and
means." If it has taken the side of opposition
more frequently than he could have wished, M. de
Girardin says "that was not the fault of the
Presse." It never wished to weaken or overthrow
authority, but to maintain and strengthen it. Still,
as the advocate of legal liberty, above all things,
M. de Girardin bee been compelled some times to
give authority a vigorous push, when the object
was "to extricate it from the rut worn by arbi•
Crary power." The present restrictions of
the freedom of the French press he denounces as a
" legal communism." The laws of September,lB3s,
made the whole French people accomplices of tht
crime of Fieschi. The entire nation was deprived
of the freedom of discussion, because Paris, on e
certain day, contained one cowardly assassin. Anr
did these repressive laws, he asks, save the Royalty
of 1830, they were intt nded to protect P This sys-
tem, and all the more recent decrees founded on it,

the Presse asserts it bas conbtantiy condemned.
