FRANCE.

A quantity of papers written in cipher, and said to
detail certain plans of the French refugees, have been
seised in Path. Several warrants of arrest have
been accordingly issued.
Accounts from Montpellier state that an extensive
manufactory of gunpowder for insurrectionary pur-
poses has been discovered in that town in consequence
of an accidental explosion on the premises. The pro-
prietor has been arrested.
At 9 o'clock on Wednesday morning the President
left Evreux, having previously reviewed an immense
number of National Guards collected together in its
vicinity. The following is the account furnished of
his progress alter his departure :
K The Pre,,ident Ind hoped to pay a visit to the
village of Navarre, so long the residence of the Em-
press Josephine, and wh,re her memory is still re-
vered. .11, was prevented by the necessity of adhering
to his itinerary.

" Ttie President passed by Berney and Lisieux, on
his way to Caen. His reception at the former place
was most satisfactory—the more remzrkable that it
is considered the centre of democracy in Normandy.
As his vi-it to that town was a deviation from his
original plan, yielding only to the earnest entreaties
of the Mayor and a part of the population, he was en-
abled to remain there only a few minutes. He was
received with mina:,-d shouts of Vive Napoleon!'
Vive le President !' and Vive la Republique !'
" The President then resumed his route to Caen,
and in a short time reached the village of llotellerie,
which is the boundary between the departments of
the Eare and Calvados. On this spot were erected
two columns adorned with foliage, and surmounted
with tricolour flags, on which was inscribed:in large
letters the words Vive le President;' while on
the vase was written, in equally large characters,
The Department of Calvados to Louis Napoleon.'
The population in a mass received him with loud ac-
clamations ; and the warmest and most earnest pro-
ceeded from the peasants and farmers who came from
more than twenty miles round to Meet him. At this
place the prefect of the Eure took leave of the Pre-
sident, and the Prefect of the Calvados took his place
in the carriage.
" At half-past three o'clock the President arrived
at Lise..lx. The whole of the National Guards, the
mayor, the municipalities of the town and the envi-
rons, the authorities of Lisieux, and a large concourse
of people, were waiting for him at the entrance of the
Rue de Paris, where an elegantly constructed trium-
phal arch had been erected, bearing the inscription of
Vive Louis Napoleon' on one side, and on the other,
Dieu protege la France.' So soon as the peal of bells
and the salutes from the guns announced the arrival
of the President, one loud and long continued shout,
intermixed with but rare cries of • Vive la Repub-
lique,' was raised, and followed him on his way
through the town. The President stopped for a
minute at the Hotel de Villa, and then mounting his
horse, with the Mayor of Lisieux on one side, the
Prefect of the Calvados and the Minister of Justice
on the other, and two orderly officers following him,
he passed through the city between two lines of the
National Guard of Lisieux and the environs.

" The whole if the houses on his passage were
adorned with flags and garlands, and bouquets of
flowers were flung from the windows at his horses'
feet as he passed. There was one battalion of the
rural National Guard who carried flowers at the end of
their muskets, out of compliment to the President.
Tais battalion appea,ed the most enthusiastic.
‘• On his leaving Lisieux, the President moved ra-
pidly on to Caen. The National Guards and the
country people crowdefl the streets long after he left,
and continued to cry "%rive Napoleon.'
" The President was expected at Caen at seven
o'clock last evening."
