THE lAUNDATIONS IN _FRANCE.

The Lord Mayor has received the following letter
from his Excellency the Prefect of the Seine :
Paiis, June 18, 1856.

" My Lord,—lf I have not sent an earlier reply to the
letter which your lordship did me the honour to write to
me, announcing a contribution of 100,000 f, as the first
instalment of the English subscription for the relief of
the sufferers by the inundations in France, it has been
because I wished to wait until I had an opportunity of
receiving. that sum from M. de Rothschil.i, who had
Waned it at once at my disposal, and the interruption of
ordinary business, occasioned by the biptismal fetes, has
further prevented my doing so until now. But I took
care to publish the announcement of this first gift.
"The pleasing duty now devolves upon me of thank-
ing your lordship for the excellent news contained in
your two letters of the 13th and 17th of this month, and
,if exAressing to you how deeply I am affected by your
cordial co-operation, and how greatly I reiiice at the
interesting details you have been gon.d .enough to give
me respecting the progress of the English subscription.
"France will learn with lively thankfulness that her
Majesty the Queen of England and his Royal Highness
Prince Albert have been pleased to take part in the
subscription by the donation of such important sums.
These generous rnanifevations shall receive tho publi-
city which they merit, and which wiil testify to our cheep
gratitude.

" Pray receive, my Lorl, the assurance of my high
consideration. &c.
" Baron IlAusmAN, Prefect of the Seine.
"To the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor."
