We read in the Moniteur

" France has just been put in possession of an histori-
cal monument, which is directly connected with the
most glorious, and at the same time the most melancholy
reminiscences of the present century, and which had
hitherto been wanting to our national archives. The
will of Napoleon 1., written throughout with his own
hand, at Longwood, on April 15, 1821, had, after his
death, been deposited in the Prerogative Court of the
Archbishop of Canterbury, or Doctors' Commons, where
all wills are preserved in England ; and it was there
kept for 32 years, unknown to the greatest number, and
visited with a respectful eagerness by those who were
aware of its existence. The Emperor Napoleon 111.
desired to give to this precious deposit a place more
worthy of it and of imperial France, and to restore
'to that French people, which the Emperor loved
so wall,' the very pages on which his dying hand
traced the expression of that wish, since then ac-
complished, ' Let my ashes repose on the banks of
the Seine.' Towards the end of last year, and by
order of his Imperial Majesty, M. Drouyn-de-Lhuys,
Minister of Foreign Affairs, charged Count Walew-
ski, the French Ambassador at London, to apply to
the Government of her Britannic Majesty to have the
will of Napoleon I. given up to France. The Earl of
Malmesbury, then principal Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs, received, in the name of the Govern-
ment of the Queen, and with the most cordial readi-
ness the overture of Count Walewski. He pro-
mised the Ambassador that he would apply to the
proper authorities at Doctors' Commons to induce
them, contrary to all precedent, to give up the Em-
peror's will ; and he pledged himself, in case the English
law did not warrant such a course, to present to Parlia-
ment a special bill to authorise them exceptionally to
take from their archives a document of that importance.
However, the exigencies of the law and of custom were
able to be conciliated with the readiness which the pre-
sent Ministry of her Britannic Majesty evinced in just
as great a degree as that of which Lord Malmesbury was
a member, and, on the requisition of the Proctor of the
Crown, the Court of Doctors' Commons issued, on the
16th of February last, an order to the effect that the will
and its codicils should be handed over to the judicial
authorities of France. In execution of that order, the
will with its annexes, which had been placed in the hands
of the Earl of Clarendon, principal Secretary of State of
her Britannic Majesty for Foreign Affairs, was delivered
up by him to Count Walewski, who charged M. Charles
Baudin, First Secretary of the French Embassy at Lon-
don, to take it to Paris. M. Charles Baudin, conducted
to the Emperor by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, had
the honour of presenting the will to his Imperial Ma-
jesty in the name of Count Walewski. By his Majesty's
orders it was then taken to the President of the Tri-
bunal of Premiere Instance of the Seine, who, according
to the prescriptions of the -French law, registered and
signed it, and then handed it over to M. Casimir
Noel, notary to the Imperial family, after having had
all these formalities duly attested. The will and its
codicils, entirely written by the hand of the Emperor,
bearing his signature and sealed with his arms, do
not, however, contain any clause that has not been long
since printed textually. An authentic copy will remain
deposited in the office of M. Noel, and the original will,
by the Emperor's orders, be placed in the national
archives. The Emperor, wishing to testify to Lord
Clarendon the satisfaction which he felt at the restitu-
tion to France of so remarkable a document, and at the
readiness which the Government of her Britannic
Majesty had exhibited, addressed a letter to that effect
to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Queen Victoria.
His Majesty, through his Ambassador at London, has
been pleased to present to Mr. Dyke, Proctor to. the
Crown of England, a gold snuff-box, with the Imperial
--cipher in tliamondS -on.the -lid,- inTeturn for"the step's'
which he had taken in the. Court of-the Archbishcq) at'
Canterbury to obtain possession of the testament."

The Minister of Police has issued a circular to
prefects relative to the. ruleswhich • are -Co guide'
them' in their conduct towards political refugees.
None of such persons can be permitted to reside in
or enter the department of . the Seine, the Lyons
district, or Marseilles, without an authorisation,•
from the. Minister of Police., The Spanigh refugees,
are not to be allowed, without express leave to go
within sixteen- inyiiametres (one hundred English
miles) of the Pyrenees the Germans or Poles are
not to enter the departments adjoining Switzer-
land or- Germany-without a §pecial authorisation,
and the same is to be the rule-for the Italians With•
reaped to the departments next to Italy. Wthen-
ever new political,refugees enter France, they are
to be disarmed, and_sent at once to a town at least
10 myriametres (621 English) miles from the fron-..
tier, there to wait the orders of the Minister of
Police as to their destination. The circular further
declares that all the laws which had been in force
relative to political refugees having ceased to exist
under the new- order of -things, the Governtnent
intends to act with respect to these persons in such
a manner as it may conceive to be best for the pre-.
servation of the public peace.
. A telegraphic dispatch announces that Marshal
de St. Arnaud's health is completely re-established,
and that he proposes quitting Marseilles on Satur-
day next, to return to Paris.
A ministerial journal of Rennes states that the
projected journey of the Emperor into Brittany
has been adjourned.
