The Courrier du Dimanche publishes an Imperial
decree, after a decision by the Council of State, con-
firming the conclusions of the Government Commis-
sioner, M. Fare, Master of Requests, on the subject
of the second suspension of that journal without the
preliminary warnings. The decree says, " Consider-
dering that in those circumstances our Minister could
not suspend a journal a second time, without two
fresh warnings, and that consequently, by the judg-
ment contested, he exceeded his powers—the deci-
sion of our Minister of the interior, dated the 24th
August, 1864, is annulled."
