FRANCE.
The following appeared in our Third Edition of
Saturday :

In the sitting of theQAs•:embly on Feiday the decree
of the Provisional Government abolishing imprisonment
for debt was abrogated by a majority of 456 to 237
votes.

The Moniteur publishes the returns of the corn trade
in the different markets of France, from which it appears
that the hectol,tre of wheat sold on en average, for
17f. 26c. at Toulouse, Gray, Lyons, and Marseilles ;
15f. 36c. at Murans and Bordeaux ; 15f. 92c. at St.
Laurent and Le Grand Lemps ; 16f. 39c. at Mulhause►►
and Strasburg ; 14f. 4c. at Bergues, Arras, Roye, Sois-
sons, Paris, and Rouen ; 14f. 9c. at Saumur and Nantes;
11f. 87c. at Metz, Verdun, and Charleville ; 16f. 16c. at
St. Lo, Paimpol, Quimper, and Hennebon.
The Moniteur du Soir adduces facts to prove that
Austria must place no reliance on the Emperor of RUSSIA
in the event of a war, the CZAR having expressed himself
to Generrl CAVAIGNAC in terms so friendly as to amount
to an assurance of his neutrality in the event of a conflict
between France and Germany.
" The Executive Government," says the Democratic
Pacifique, "yesterday gave orders for the formation near
Paris of two active divisions, which are destined to move
to Metz and Strasburg."
A journal of Blois announces that Sir Henry Bulwer
passed through that city on the 30th ult., on his way to
Italy.
We read in the Journal de l' Oise, published at Beau-
vais:—" A piece of news is current here, which, though
it needs confirmation, is too important to be passed over
in silence. It is said that the prosecutions arising out
of the affair of May 15, the invasion of the National As-
sembly, are to be tried before the Court of Assizes for
the Oise. The following is the manner in which this is
exnlained. The Government, being unwilling that these
trials should take place at Paris, where they might occa-
sion fresh disturbances, application will be made to the
Court of Cassation to send them before a Court of Assizes.
The Government is said to be wavering between our
town, Versailles, and Laon. Versailles is thought to be
too near Paris, and Laon too far off, so that Beauvais
alone remains. The distance from this town by the rail-
road is sufficiently short to enable the Government to re-
ceive prompt intelligence of any serious incidents that
may occur in the course of the trials, and sufficiently long
to prevent any coup de main. It is added that a camp of
10,000 men will be formed on the plains which surround
the-town."

the indulgence, and that-the statement of their rank and
1 length of service is accurate; and provided, if they be-
long to the navy, they produce their letter of leave of
absence from the Admiralty.
" 5. Military chaplains, commissariat officers, and
officers of any of the civil departments of the army ;
pursers, chaplains, midshipmen, warrant officers of every
description, and officers of any of the civil departments
of the navy, are not allowed any privileges in respect of
land. Although members of these classes may have been
admitted formerly, and under different circumstances,
they are now excluded. Mates in the royal navy rank
with ensigns in the army, and mates of three years'
standing with lieutenants in tho army, and are entitled
respectively to corresponding privileges in the acquisition
of lands.

" 6. Gentlemen who have ceased to belong to her
Majesty's service, are not allowed the advantages to
which they were entitled while in the army or navy.
This rule, however, is not to affect officers who desire
to quit the service for the express purpose of settling
in the colonies ; it is only required that when they re-
sign their commissions, they should apply for a certifi-
cate from the Commander•in-Chief, or from the Lords
Commissioners of the Admiralty, or from the Master-
General of the Ordnance, that they do so with the view
of emigrating, and such certificate, if produced to the
Governor of any of the colonies before-mentioned
within one year from its date, but not otherwise, will
be a sufficient warrant for allowing the bearer the
same advantages as officers who are still in her Ma-
jesty's service.
" 7. An actual residence of two years in the colony
must he proved before the titles can be granted, except
in cases in which death may have occurred before the ex-
piration of that period.
"8. For the convenience of officers, the following
heads are subjoined of the rules for the sale of laud in
the Australian settlements :

" All lands are disposed of by sale alone, and must
have been once at least exposed to public auction.
" The lowest upset price is not less than 1/. per acre.
but the Government has power to raise the same by
proclamation, though not again to reduce it.
" The lands are distinguished into three different
classes, viz., town lots, suburban lots, and country lots.
" Upon town and suburban lots, as well as upon a
proportion not exceeding one-tenth of the whole of the
country lots offered for sale at any auction, the Go-
vernor has the power of naming a higher than the ge-
neral or lowest upset price; these last to be designated
special country lots.'
" Town and suburban lots are in no case disposed of,
except by public auction, but country lots, which have
already been put up to public auction, and not sold,
may be disposed of afterwards by private contract at the
upset price.
" No lands are sold by private contract, except for
ready money. When sold by public auction, one-tenth
at least of the whole of the purchase money must be put
down, and the remainder within one calendar month, or
the deposit is forfeited.
"Lands are put up for sale in lots not exceeding one
square mile in extent.
" 9. In Ceylon, land is sold by auction at an upset
price, which is to be fixed by the Governor, but which is
not to be less than 11. per acre. Before the lands are
exposed for sale they will be surveyed by the Govern-
ment and duly advertised.
" 10. The several prices above-mentioned are of course
subjected to a revision at any time by the proper au-
thorities, and the pecuniary amount of the remission
made to officers cannot be increased on account of an
increased value set upon the lands.
