GENERAL CAVAIGNAC.

An absurd report has circulated for the last few
days to the effect tbat General Cavaignac had been
arrested, and that he is now confined in some mys
terious dungeon. It is hardly necessary to say that
there is not a word of truth in this rumour. General
Cavaignac has not been in Paris for many weeks ;
he w.is not here even during the elections. He is
re: ding on a small property near Chateau du Loir,
in the department of the Sarthe, wit 'a his family,
and concerns himself very little with public
affairs. He is, in fact, living in the utmost tran-
quillity. Wit bout being very opulent he is in pos-
session of an ample income, which has been in-
creased by the death of his uncle, and in other re-
spects be is to all appearance amongst the most
contented of men. Ho took no part in the late
elections beyond placing his name at the disposal of
his political friends. For the present his chief oc-
cupation seems to be in superiirending the bull-
ing of a small pavilion on his grounds. The how,'
he occupies is small, and General Cavaignac wishes
to have a spare room or two for the accommodation
of a few friends who may happen to visit him. This
is the only durance to which he is reduced.

Th• cat agen's attached to the Secret Police of
Pltris left yesterday for Gl,noa, whence they p oce:'d
to Leghorn and Naples. Their m,ss'on is said to be
c ,nlice-ecl with the late insurrect ou in Italy. The
Ministerial journal, Le Pays, gives the f liowing
•-xplanation of the aAegecl conflict between the
Fronch at Rome and the Pontified
troops :

"On learning the events of Genoa and Naples, some
obscure demagogues, seeing that they were unab!e to do
anything at Rome, attempted to excite the Pontifical
troops against our soldiers, who have been always re-
markable for their blameless conduct and their
excellent discipline. Colonel Yanni, who corn.
wands the Pontificia' army since the death of
General Farina, took the most energetic measures to ob-
tain order and, with the exception of three or four
but repressed with
proved that the

aggression did not emanate from our men, no further
disorder occurred. All was promptly terminated, and
the Roman peopl-• on this as on former occasions testifies
to the merits and the good spirit of our troops."
