We have received the Paris papers of. Tuesday,
which- Contain articles chiefly 'interesting to
the People of the country. There is one excep-
linni however, and that relates to the right of
search, not of ships, but of men and women
when they enter the territory of France. The
Tribunal Police Court of Sarregueinines (on the
Prussian frontier) has declared that the search

Custom-11°4,e officers of France is illegal. The
eourt thatlls with much emphasis on the shame-

of travellers excites each day very merited complaints.
