FRANCE.
PARIS, THURSDAY.
The Spanish Government has named the Duke de
Rivas Ambassador at the Court of the Tuileries.

The Emperor has despatched one of his orderly
officers, Colonel Faye, of the Engineers, to Chalons,
in order to hasten the preparations for the camp.
It is said that it will open on the 25th August, and
break up on the. sth October.
The most prominent event connected with the
elections is the third "warning" given to the Siecle.
From this we may conclude that the Government
does not regard with indifference the influence
which this journal exercises on public opinion. The
third warning might have been accompanied by sus-
pending the publication of the journal entirely.
The reader will discover in the subjoined transla-
tion of the decree the reasons why so severe a mea-
sure was not resorted to :

"The Minister, Secretary of State for the Department
of the Interior ; considering Art. 32 of the organic de-
cree on the press of the 17th February, 1852 ;
"Considering the warnings given to the Siecle on the
12th December, 1853, and the 24th February, 1857 ;
"Considering the article contained in the number of
the Siecle of the 17th, commencing by the words Si Fon
doutait,' and signed L. Havin ;
' "Considering Oat in the said article the Siecle, not
content with attributing exclusively to the cand.dates of
the Opposition, whom it qualifies as democratio, the
monopoly of the great principles of 1789, imputes to the
electors who may vote for the Government andidates a
wish to attack the cause of family ties by the right of
birth, and by religious marriage, to menace property in
seeking to establish under the deceitful name of testa-
mentary liberty the right of despoiling children for the
benefit of religious communities, to threaten the cause of
civil equality, the cause of liberty, of thinking, speaking,
and writing, &c.
"Considering that the Government of the Emperor,
based on the sovereignty of the people and on the prin-
ciples of 1789, henceforward the unshakeable foundatious
of French society, cannot allow the ideas of order and of
progress which it represents, and the mass of the electors
who approve of them, to be thus calumniated ;
"Looking to the fact that the Siecle, having already
received two official warnings, might, according to the
terms of the law, be suspended from- this day, but seeing
that the Government, which has allowed to the electoral
struggle the greatest possible latitude, is unwilling,
although it has the right, to strike at the last days of
that contest even one of the most energetic and active
organs of an opposition the bearing of which public opi-
nion will appreciate ;
" Seeing that it cannot, however, dispense with giving
warning, that it will not allow that journal to misrepre-
sent, for the benefit of a sterile agitation, the loyal in-
tentions of a policy which secures the glory, the tran-
' quillity, and the security of the country ;
" On the proposition of the Director-General of Public
Safety,
" Decrees as follows :
"Art. 1. A warning is hereby given to the Siecle, in
the person of M. Songere, responeible gerant, and of M.
Ham, who signed the incriminated article.

"Art. 2. The Prefect of Police is charged with the
execution of the present decree. " BILLAUT."
The accounts of the promising state of the harvest
continue, to be most encouraging. It is the oeneral
opinion that the price of food throu4hout France
must ere long fall considerably. The Ilionitem-
Vinicole says :
" We are delighted to be able to point out a fact which
gives a striking confirmation to the hopes of a fine vintage,
which is that in most of the great centres of production
prices begin to give way, and were it not for the low-
ness of stocks generally, the decline would already be
very sensible. We also find another good omen in the
extensive orders which the coopers have received for
casks from the large proprietors of vineyards. The
state of the vines is most prosperous, and the blossoming
is going on under the most favourable conditions. The
grape disease, where it has shown itself has been
checked by sulphur, and it appears that in several parts
of the country the oidium hai been confounded with the
erinium vitis, which is an affection far less formidable.
The following private telegraphic despatches
have been received :

" BERNE, JUNE 17.
" The Federal Council, after having received the
news of the ratification of the treaty, immediately
despatched an order to Neufchatel to effect the stipu-
lated amnesty."

"MADRID, JUNE 18.
"Several amendments have been presented to the
bill for the reform of the press.
"It is announced that the Duke of Rivas is appointed
to the embassy of Paris."
