The supervision of the public journals having
come within the attributions of the Minister of the
Interior, in consequence of the late suppression of
the Ministry of Police, M. de Persigny summoned
the chief editors of the several journals of Paris
to attend on Tuesday at the hotel of the Interior.
The representatives of the several journals were
received separately, and M. de Persigny, after
alluding to the measures of severity which the po-
litical crisis lately passed through had rendered
necessary in the interest of society, expressed him-
self in most indulgent terms towards the press.
The various editors withdrew much pleased with
their interview.

By a recent decree the Minister of Police has
interdicted the entrance into France of M. Eugene
Sue, who is now residing in Savoy.
The Emperor will to-day review the troops
in the camp at Satory, and the Empress and the
Duke and Duchess of Alba will be present. His
Majesty will put the troops through different ma-
nceuvres and before the filing off there will be a
distribution of rewards. The men are actively
engaged in repairing the injury done to the embel-
lishments of the camp by the late heavy rains. All
the paths between the tents have been covered
with sand, and triumphal arches have been erected
in different parts to do honour to the visit of their
Majesties.

Several officers, says the Pays, were to leave
Paris yesterday for the Camp at Chobham, namely,
General the Duke de Montebello, aide-de-camp to
the Emperor ; chef d'escadrou Rollie, orderly offi-
cer to the Minister of War ; a colonel of infantry,
and a captain of artillery.
The Emperor, on the report of the Minister of
Public Instruction, has decreed that, with the con-
sent of the Bishop, pensions may be conferred on
old or infirm priests of more than thirty years'
standing.
We read in the Constitutionnel :—An important
measure is said to have been adopted in principle
by the. Director of Agriculture and. Commerce. We
allude to a decision that merchandise now prohi-
bited shall be admitted at the Universal Exhibition
of 1855 ; it will be allowed to be re-exported with-
out charge at the close of the Exhibition, or sold
in France on payment of a duty of 30 per cent.
The Moniteur contains a decree authorising the
Minister of Public Instruction and Religion to
grant pensions to such members of the clergy as
may be incapacitated by age and infirmities for the
discharge of their duties, for which purpose the
subvention of five million francs accorded by the
decree of January 22, 1852, is to be employed, to-
gether with an annual vote.
A decree approving of the cahier des charges of
the railway from Lyons to Geneva is also published
in the official journal.
The market for Rentes was dull yesterday, and
at the termination of business a general decline in
prices had taken place. The final quotations were :
—For cash—Three per Cents., 76f. 80c. ; Four-
and-a-Half per Cents., 101 f. 75c. For the account
—Three per Cents., 76f. 60c. ; Four-and-a-Half
per Cents., 101 f. 40c. Bank Stock, a
2,685. Shares
of the Societe Mobiliere experienced further re-
trograde movement to the amount of 22f., and
closed at 758 f. ; in those of the Bank of Credit
Foncier no change occurred, being still quoted at
700 f. The Railway Share Market was also unfa-
vourably influenced by the generally inactive con-
dition of business, and those securities underwent
a still further downward movement, the progress of
which apparently was only arrested by the close of
business : the decline was most considerable in
shares of the Bordeaux and Cette line, which fell
20f. ; Lyons to the Mediterranean, 17f. ; Paris
and Rouen, 15f. ; Western, 12f. ; Paris and Stras-
bourg, 12f. ; Orleans, 10f. ; Paris and Lyons, 10f. ;
Northerns, 7f. ; and Rouen and Havre, 5f., closing
prices.
