PARIS, Juin' 16.—The Minister of the Interior has addressed
the following Circular to the Prefects of the Departments:—
"Pairs, Juxt 15, 1830.—M. LE PAZFET—The King has
given orders for new elections. You will neglect nothing that may
be necessary to maintain perfect order throughout your department
during their continuance. Elections ought to be free. They can
only be so while the electors enjoy entire security. Violation of
the sacred rights granted by the Charter is committed whenever,
by insults, threatenings, or public or tumultuous demonstrations
of opinions, attempts are made to influence votes, or deter the
timid from performing a duty which they may consider dangerous.
Article 11. of the Law of the sth of February, 1817, places in the
hands of the Presidents and Vice-Presidents the Police of the Elec-
toral Colleges. Art. VIII. of the Royal Ordonnance of the 11th of '
October, 1820, declares that no armed forced call, without their
demand, be posted near the places where the Elections arc held
—and Article VIII. of the Law of the sth of February, 1817, and
Article I. of the Ordonnance of the 11th of October, 1820, inter-
dict all discussion and debate whatever within the Electoral Col-
leges. There can be no doubt that the Presidents of Colleges will
execute with prudence and firmness the importar.t duties which
the law has et:trusted to them. But beyond the precincts reserved
to them, the Police is under the direction of the ordinary Magis-
trates, who ought to exercise the utmost vigilance on this occasion.
Take the necessary measures that access to the Electoral Colleges
may be free, that the persons of the Electors may be respected with-
out distinction, that no insult may be offered them, that no popular
clamour may exercise influence upon their votes, that no tumult
without may be heard in the places of assembly, which might disturb
the order of the proceedings. Suffer no illegal meetings of the popu-
lace; no infraction of the laws to be committed with impunity ; let
those who trespass be arrested immediately, conformable to Ar-
ticle 16 of the Code of Criminal Proceedings, and brought before
the tribunals for trial. Articles 109, 110, 111, 112, and 113 of the
Penal Code, pronounce severe punishments against those who sell
or buy votes, who falsify them, or disturb the liberty and security
of the electors. Cause these articles to be again published and
posted up. Let the electors know and feel that the protection of
the laws is secured to them, and that you deem it one of your first
duties to afford to all electors the free and peaceable exercise of
their rights. You will transmit me an account of the measures you
may adort, and their execution.—Believe me, Ac.
" DE PEYRONNET."

" Marseilles, June 7.
" Sir—l read in your Journal of this day that his Britannic Ma-
jesty's corvette the Wasp, which arrived yesterd ty, has brought
accounts that some days before her departure from Malta the Eng.
Bah Admired had returned to that island, and gave orders for six
ships of the line, and several frigates and corvettes, to proceed to
Algiers, and that the fleet was immediately to sail for that desti-
nation. I hasten to inform you that youshave been led into error
in publishing this account, and that, with the exception of the
Admiral's return to Malta, all the rest is totally destitute of foun-
dation. I request you to Insert this letter in your Journal, sad
