PARIS, FRIDAY.
The Moniteur contains a long report from Prince
Napoleon to the Emperor on the Civil Organisation
of Algeria. It begins thus :—" Your Majesty has
suppressed the general government of Algeria and
the local institutions connected with it ; but it did
not enter into your views to revive at Paris the ad-
ministrative centralisation which was no longer to
exist in Algeria. Your Majesty confided to me the
task of carrying out the decree of the 31st August,
and I have prepared myself for that duty by serious
study. I now submit to your Majesty a decree,
the essential object of which is to simplify the ad-
ministration. In confiding to local authorities the
greatest part of the attributions of the Governor-
General, I have desired to give to administrators the
means, and at the same time impose on them the obli-
gation of greater activity ; I have also desired by di-
minishing administrative intervention to leave more
liberty to individual initiative." The report then
goes on to recommend in detail various measures
in accordance with the preceding principles, and
the Emperor by a decree, in 59 artielei, orders them
to be carried into effect. The decree is divided into
three chapters, and the first provides that the pro-
mulgation of laws, decrees, and regulations relative
to Algeria, which has heretofore taken place at
Algiers, shall henceforth be made by the Cen-
tral Administration at Paris. The second
chapter contains these enactments :—‘‘ Algeria
is to continue to be divided iuto three pro-

vinces, and each province is to be divided into
civil fand military territory, the civil territory
forming a department administered by the prefect.
Each prefect is to be assisted by a secretary-gene-
ral and a council, consisting of four members for
Algiers and three for the other two departments.
The commanders of military territories are to ex-
ercise civil powers, but are to be assisted by a
council to advise in civil affairs. In each pro-
vince there is to be a council-general of from 12
to 20 members chosen by the Emperor from among
the European or native notabilities, and it will
have to decide various loCal questions, and among
them the imposition of extraordinary taxes and the
levying of loans, and is to be consulted on other
local matters." The third chapter is relative to the
provincial budgets, and enacts that a budget of
each province, prepared in concert by the prefect
and commander of the military territory, is to
be presented to the council-general, and after exa-
mination by it, it is to be fixed by Imperial decree.
It enters into minute details as to what are to be
considered ordinary and what extraordinary ex-
penses and receipts ; it also provides for the keep-
ing of accounts. In the course of the report it is
stated that for some years past the budget of the
colony has been about 7,000,000 fr., of which
3,000,000 fr. for the province of Algiers, and
2,000,000 fr. each for the other two. Lastly, the
decree enacts that from the Ist January next the
local and municipal budget of Algeria shall be
suppressed, and that the councils-general of the
provinces shall be convoked within three months
after the promulgation of the decree. To that
document are appended three tables—the first,
enumerating the various employments in the
nomination of the prefects ; the second, stating the
various subjects on which the said functionaries
will have to decide ; and the third setting forth
what matters are reserved to the consideration of
the central power. By another decree M. Gery
advocate at the Imperial Court of Limoges, and
member of the Council General of the Haute-
Vienne, is appointed Prefect of Algiers, in the room
of M. Lautoux-Mezeray, placed on the retired list;
and M. Legoazre de Toulgoet, sub-prefect of Ville-
franchc (Aveyron), prefect of Constantino, in the
room of M. Zcepfell, appointed director of civi
affairs in Algeria.
