The French Government continues its persecution of the Press.
M. Lefraacois, responsible editor of the Dir Neuvieme &tele, a
Paris paper, which had ceased to appear during two months, was
sentenced by the Court of Correctional Police, on Saturday, to five
months' imprisonment, and 2,000 f. fine, for publishing that paper
without having previously deposited in the Treasury the 100,000 f.
required as a security. In Itiom the Gazette d'Auvergne appears
to have attracted the displeasure of Government ; DO fewer than
four prosecutions arc to be carried on against it in the course of
the Session of the Assizes commencing on the 15th inst. Why
does not the Press petition the Chambers to restore to it the pro-
tection of the censorship ?
The Commerce states that the principal members of the corps
diplomatique assembled on Saturday at the Fritish Embassy. for
the purpose, it was believed, of considering the course to be pursued,
in consequence of the hesitation of the French Cabinet to ratify the
Convention relative to the right of search.

The Montieur Parisien announces that the French naval divi-
sion,,itoder Admiral La Susse, was on the 19th ult. at Ourlac,
consisting of the ships of war Inflexible (flag-ship), Friedland,
Jemmapes, Sante Petri, Ville de Marseilles, Genereux, and the
steamer Acheron.

The Court of Cassation in Saturday's sitting, after hearing the
counsel on both sides, set aside the judgment of the Court of
Assizes of Maine and Loire, last November, againt Ledru Rollin,
the Deputy and Advocate. A new trial is ordered, by the Court
of Appeal, to take place at the Court of Assizes of Mayence. M.
Ledru Rollin, it will be remembered, had been sentenced to four
months' imprisonment, and a fine of 3,000 f., for a seditious libel
in a speech uttered by him to the constituency of Sarthe, who
elected him i❑ place of the late Gamier Pages.
The National says that several of the political prisoners of Mont
St. Michel—Barbes, Martin, Benard, Blanque, and others—have
been detected in an attempt to escape from confinement. The plan
was well conceived, but it was discovered at the moment of execu.
tion, and Barbes was severely wounded.
A letter from Madrid of the 6th inst. thus sums up the only
news received from that capital :—" The almost endless discussion
upon the Address still continues. The genius of malice, of in-
trigue, and procrastination, would seem to have made this debate
peculiarly its own. The evil, however, is now concentrated to
almost a point, and a day or two must tell whether it is to end in
the healthy reaction of the Chamber or the death of the Ministry.
The discussion has now arrived at the fifth clause of the Addrest,
containing the censure on the Government for having proclaimed
Barcelona in a state of siege, and to which the whole battle is now
reduced. With respect to •States of Siege' there was no difference
of opinion between the Cabinet and the most extreme Members of
the Opposition ; the red question was whether circumstances justi.
fled the Government or not in having recourse to that measure.
They had, it was true, violated the law, but saved the State, and
asked fora Bill of Indemnity."
Letters from Kingston, Jamaica, speak of riots in that town, in
consequence of the authorities endeavouring to suppress the most
noisy and uproarious celebrations of the negroes at Christmas. The
mob attacked the police, and the riots were not suppressed until the
Riot Act had been read, and several of the rioters shot by the
