AS to the Prince Paul of Wurtemberg, we believe we can affirm bat
there is no question of him."—L' Universe!.
" Yesterday the remains of M. Oehler, the last President of he
Directory, who died on Saturday, were taken from his late residoce
in the Rue de l'Abbaye direct to the cemetery of Pere Lachalse, bl-
lowed by a long train of mourners, and deposited in the ground
without being presented at a church, in compliance with the express
directions of the will of the deceased. General Merlin, his son.ut-
law, was chief mourner. The four corners of the pall were held
by Messrs. Schonen and Laisn6 de Vellesque, ex-Members of he
Chamber of Deputies, and by Lientenant-Generals Sollgnae Ind
Brayer. M. Bernard, Advocate of the Royal Court of Paris, de.
livered an oration over the grave.
", We are assured,' says the Journal des Debate, ' that M. de
Peyronnet boasts of appointing St Courvoisier president of cos of
the electoral colleges of the department of the Daubs. Vti Jnow
not whether M. de Peyronnet intends such an humiliation for 111.
Courvoisier, but we have doubts whether Nt. Courvoisier will ac-
cept it.'

"We announced a few days since that M. ll—, Comptroller
of the Mint, had shot himself. This dreadful act was committed in
the presence of his wife, who had been for several years dumb, and
deprived of the use of her limbs, by a severe plralysis : the shock
she received from viewing this horrible scene, instantly restored not
only her power of speech but all her other faculties.—Parir Ad.

" The following confidential circular, dated Pari., May 26, has
been addressed to the Directors of the Customs, by the Director.
General of that department :

" The approaching elections, Sir, are, on the part of Government,
the subject of just anxiety ; public order and prosperity depend on
their result. The Government has a right to reckon, in order to at.
tain those ends, upon the concurrence of all well-disposed persons--
of all Frenchmen worthy to be called so by their allegiance to the
King, their love for their country, and their submission to the laws
which govern us: but it has a still greater right to expect this con.
currence from all its agentr, from all those who have taken a special
oath of fidelity to the King. For them, devotedness is the first of
duties. I have not hesitated answering to his Excellency the Ali-
nister of Finances, for the punctuality and even the solicitude with
which the officers of the customs would come forward to fulfil
this duty, either by their personal votes or by using their in-
fluence to enlighten the electors, and second the views of Go.
vernment. The prefects have received instructions which will
enable them usefully to direct, in each locality, your proceedings,
and those of the principal functionaries under your orders. On
receiving this letter, you will apply to the prefect of your de-
partment, and in offering him your good will, ask him for the
instructions he may think proper to give you, to render your
aid more useful and more certain. Please to direct the chefs.
de-service, inspectors, sub-inspectors, and principal receivers, to
proceed in the same manner with the sub-prefects, and to avail
themselves of their advice to march in unison towards one common
end—namely, the choice of such deputies as will candidly and loyally
concur with the King in the execution of his benevolent views. To
attain this sacred end is the first wish as well as the first want of all
his faithful subjects. I trust that there are none more faithful and
devoted than those in the Customs. All will rival each other in
proving it at this important juncture. I request you to address,
without delay, to the principal persons subordinate to you instruc.
tions similar to the present, of which you will acknowledge the re.
ception.—Believe me, &c.
