FRANCE.

The Minister of War having been informed that
a number of German families have recently gone
into Algeria, without having the pecuniary re-
sources required to obtain a concession of land, has
ordered that henceforth emigrants applying for a
gratuitous passage to the colony shall be obliged
to prove that they actually possess 2,000 fr. if they
want to obtain a concession of land, 400 fr. if they
be workmen with families, and 100 fr. if unmarried
workmen.

We mentioned yesterday the arrest and discharge I
of M. Goudchaux. The particulars connected with
the affair are given by the Siecle. It appears that
a domiciliary visit was made to him by the police
at a quarter-past four in the morning. The war-
rant accused him of detention of warlike arms, and
of affiliation to secret societies. The search lasted
until eight o'clock. No arms nor any indication of
belonging to secret societies were found. The com-
missary of police, however, thought it his duty to
seize about 140 documents, all or nearly all receipts
for sums of money paid by M. Goudchaux to exiles
or to their families. For nearly twenty months
M. Goudchaux, with a devotedness for which he
cannot be too highly praised, has occupied himself
in collecting assistance for such necessitous families
as have suffered from late political events. After
this long search M. Goudchaux was taken to the
prefecture of police, where he remained in custody
until ten o'clock. The commissary of police who
had arrested him then carne and informed him that
he was at liberty, but that the Prefect of Police
would retain the papers seized.
A domiciliary visit has been paid, it is also said,
to the house of M. Bastide, Minister of Foreign
Affairs under the Republic. Copies of a pamphlet
of Ledru Rollin, for which the present state of poli-
tical affairs was no doubt considered a favourable
occasion, are said to have been introduced into
Paris and distributed ; and this in all probability
gave rise to the domiciliary visits. It is described
as making an appeal to the Republican party to
unite, and the title of the work is, it appears,
"Union contre le Tyran."
The Emperor and the large party congregated at
Compiegne continue to enjoy the sports o the field,
notwithstanding the unfavourable weather.
The Bourse, which opened heavily yesterday, im-
proved before the conclusion of business, and pub-
lic securities in general recovered from the depres-
sion of the morning. The tone of the manifesto
