LONDON, Nav IL.

We received this morning Paris papers &c,
the l4th inst inclusive, from which we make
copious extracts. We have u list of the
king's administration, in Which we find all
the members OF the provisional council of
state Taleyrand has the pace
OF secretary of state Tor foreign affairs, for
which no man can be better qualified in point
of talents and Experience. We have given
long address from the chapter Of the car
thedral OF Notre Dame, touching upon the
general state of the Gallican church, and
praying the king to fill up the archbishop
ric, which is considered vacant, III conses
quence ct the csnonical irregularity of cars
dinsl Maury's appointment to it by Eapo<
leon 1t was generally understood in this
country, that when the cardinal was pre-.
vented from officiating as archbishop on Ease
ter sunday, il was on account OF his subser.
viency TO Bonaparte but the truth is, that
it was on the ground Of the irreguarity to
which we have alluded We find that the
archbishops and bishops of Bnnaparte's nor
mination generally, never officiated in the
Character but only as Uicars cahifpiar, in
virtue Of the authority derived from the
clergy ot their diocese. 1t is not expected.
however, that NJ. Maury will be appointed
by the king of the arehbishopric of Paris.
There is circular letter of instruction from
the king TO the bishops, ordering lie Deum
to be chaunted, and solemn service to be
performed in all the churches, in thansgiyp
ing for his return, and for the ioysl and re-
lgious dispositions which his majesty found
in the French people. This circular is re-
marable tor being precisely IN the same
words as those used by Bonsparte in similar
mandates.

The first OF these letters was designed as pri.
obtain Information of market for wool,
which it is earnestly desired the dealers in
that article win afford, for the benefit of the
community; but it contains so much inter-

RURAL ECONOMY.
From Niles Weekiy Register.
SHEEP BREEDING

t g
Has become highly interesting concern OF
the farmer, in most parts Of the United States.
The Merino, the most elegant, and also the
aong-wooied breed, the most useful, are raised
with great care the common sheep are greatly
improved, and the whole multiplies in an asto-
nishing manner.
II would not, perhaps, be overstraining the
TACT to say, that the numbsrof sheep in the u
nited States has been treblesi, and tile quantity
Of wool sheared quadrupl.d, within the lest five
years. This seems the minimum of the infor-
nation have received on the subject. To be
sure 1t is only an estimate, but it is a general
conclusion from many particulars that have
come to my knowledge, by much observation of
the facts that are publicly known and an exten-
sive private CORE spoHdence. From present
prospects (unless, eed, our country should
be ray ged by the enemy subdued--- and ak
sorts ofmanufacturing industry forbidden, as ii
would be in that case.) in five years more, we
shall have an abundance of wool for the hospe
demand; and possibly, a considerable quantity
for export. About twenty five years ago it was
said we had not enough to furnish each person
with one pair ofstockngs per ennum.

OF the agriculturists especially, are materially
and happily changed. They look to market

three or four thousand miles off. Aud. strange
as the fact may appear, if we except tobacco
and cotton, the truth is, that the general ave.
rage price of the productions of the farmer, TAX
ing the whole United States into the considers
ton. is higher this day than it was in 1905 or Is;
years OF great commercial prosperity, though
the crops have been as good as usual 1t is alb
solutely SO The cause is to be found in our
various manufactures.
Mr.. Gusts, of New Kent, Virginia, had late
ly sheared from the backs of two sheep of the
Arlington longsd wooded breed, twenty one
pounds two ounces of excellent wool. This gem
tleman deserves great praise for his persever-
ance and attention 10 this most useful breed OF
sheep, OF far more importance Than the Merino,
as bearing wool of the proper quality for the
ordinary clothing Of the people at large, bian-
kets, &c We s.ould be happy to hear that the
farmers, generally, would initiate his example

The stock o, Mermos is large in the United
States, and their great proluctivencss still
claims the Iirst attention. General Mason, OF
Georgetown, Columbia, sheared he present year

Esq. OF the same place in 1913, sheared 69lD.

LOUIS.

Louis, by the grace OF God, king of France,
and Navarro.
Upon the account that has been rendered
to us by our Minister, secretary of the var
department., that from false Interpretation
of the decree of the Provisional Govern,
ment of the 4th Of April, 1914, many soidi-
ers thought themselves authorized to quit
their standards, in order to return to tier
families. without having previously obtained
an absolute leave.
Wishing to show clemency towards those
persons, and at the same time to extend the
same advantages to those who have reuain
ed faithful to their standards, and who may,
from their situation. be capable of receiving
absolute discharges. Having heard our
council of state, we decree as follows:
The conscripts of the class OF 1915, who
are under the standard, are authorized to
return to their families. Those who have
already returned 20 their families are allow
ed to remain with them. All the other sol
diers on active service, who, by a false iu-
terpretation OF the decree of the Provisional
Government of 18th April, 1914, shall have
Quilted their standards to return TO their ia
miles, without having obtained regular per.
missions, are considered as having received
regular furlougns for limited period.
"Our Minister, Secretary Of State for the
war department., shall cause returns TO be
made OF all troops in these situations. lie
will cause full discharges to be given TO
those who are entitled TO them and with
respect to the others, he viii nix times for
reJoininS their respective corps.

facturers, &c. in the United States. But
say TO those persons, the experience of other
countries is no rule for ours in any respect,
as to the rise of population ard extent OF i'm.

species of industry, and every man is at IL
berty To follow the bent of his inclination,
any where, as ne pi asses and in what manner
he likes, which is not the case IN Europe,
from whence we are apt to draw our exam

Within the last 20 years, one Of the greatest
staples that the commerce OF any country o.
the like population has, is attained in our
cotion--a second, in substitutes for foreign
drink, the value of which exceeded all that
