Monday was the anniversary of the murder
of Mgr. Denis Auguste Affre, Archbishop of Paris,
..at the barricade of the Faubourg St. Antoine, in
▪he sanguinary insurrection of June, 1848. On
Sunday and Monday a great many persons visited
the church of Notre Dame Saint Antoine, near to
Which the crime was committed ; and a number
of others went to the Carmes, where the heart of
the prelate is preserved. On Monday masses for
the repose of his soul were offered up in the cathe-
dral of Notre Dame and in all the churches of the
capital. The Archbishop of Paris officiated at
Notre Dame.

A letter from St. Omer states that Prince Na-
poleon, on arriving at the camp of Helfaut, on
Saturday evening, was received with loud acclama-
tions of " Vivo l'Empereur," and with all the
honours due to his rank. A salute of 24 guns was
fired as soon as the cortege appeared on the ground.
The troops were drawn out in lines to receive him,
and on passing along the ranks, the cry of " Vive
1 Empereur" was loud and universal. This was re-
matecl when the troops filed off before him. The
ince then went through the camp, which lie
visited in all its details, and afterwards retired to
the tent which had been prepared for him.
The Princess Csernicheffs, wife of the Minister

two days ago on their way to Cauterets to take the

shortly before arriving, and, in consequence, the
Princess intends to stay some days in Lyons.
Five Italian refugees, who were concerned in the
last disturbances of Milan, arrived at Havre on

Squadron there. The three-decker the Souverain

orders will arrive to have her fitted out at once."
