One Day Later from France.


Havre OF the ID ult.
That paper gives the following interesting utel
gence;--
have augmented between the 2lst and 9Th Janua-
ry 81 lO5 francs, compared with the correspondlns
period OF 1874. On the Paris and Orleans railway
the auementation from the I'D TO the 18th January
was IL, 7l2 francs.
The frost which has set in after the snow. has
made all communication with the interior more
difficult than it has ever been before Unusual OBJ
stacles have been met by the mails, and the coaches
have performed their journeys with much difference
In their time.
BY letter from Paris, we learn that the Seine
had risen ten feet, at which point navigation stops
and the banks are flooded All the northern mails
arrived each day unusually late, on account of the
snow. a'3 NJ fH'6 Eere
SESSION OF THE CHAMBER OF DspurrEs.-The
debate on the Police and Railway Bill was contn-
ucd, without any remarkable incident, yesterday,
IN the Chamber OF Deputies; but very important
pece OF lnIeiligence was In circulation there, to
the effect that The English cabinet, nppreciatiDg the
gravity OF the position OF affairs, had consented to
make some fresh concessions, Of such nature as
to concllate and calm both sdes-to strengthen
the administrations of the two countries and draw
closer the links which bind the policy OF France 10

Il is said, also, that the Secret Service Money
Bill will not be presented TO the Chambers until
after the reception Of the speech at the opening OF
the British Parliament
IMPORTANT LEGAL DECIsIoN.-The Court Of Cas-
sation, M. Laplagne-Barris has decided a question
OF much importance for the Courts Martial. A
dragoon OF the fourth regiment, named Schwartz
was arraigned before the second council of War on
the charge Of having injured a building belonging
TO the State. He addressed to tine officers COM
posing the council, and 10 the presiding Colonel Of
iensive language. for which he was pronounced
guilty Of insult 10 his superior officers and sentenc
ed to five years in irons, which sentence the So
licitor General of the Court OF Cessation has de-
aIop n
in relation to the accused longer superiors but
Judges, and magistrates, and from that moment
the insult given to them should be punished in
manner M simply correctiye-not with infamy attach
ton, reversed the Judgment OF the court martial,
and in favor of the accused.
Sentence Of Is months Imprisonment had been
passed ON a lapldary named Viennot, who had
pledged diamonds entrusted to him to 1.-THE amount
Of 10000 francs.
TRANSATLANTIC PACkETs.-One of the Paris
journals has announced that the project of estab-
fishing line of transatlantic steam packets has
been abandoned, and that the minister Of the ma
rlne and the colonies, as prelude to that act has
suppressed the bureau of steam navigation, as
part of the central administration.
Numerous notifications have doubtless been
made IN that branch OF administrative labour be:
longing to the minister of marine and colonies, and
1t Is possible that M Lasalle, formerly head Of the
steam packet bureau, may have been named to a
post superior, and that M Paulln, his assistant in
same grade; all that, if true. by no means proves
that the project of establishing transatlantic packets
Is altogether abandoned.
But what is certain, is, that notifications will
atlantic packets. and determining their destina-
tion. M, the minister Of marine, inipresenting his
budget. say" that no mention is made to what
relaes 70 the packets constructed by the marine
lions should be presented to the Chambres by the
government on this important question.
Moreover, 1t Is universally known, by the dis
opening the session Of the Cories, by the discourse
OF the Emperor of Brazil to the two chambres Of
his empire, that treaty signed between Portugal
and Brazil. obhges France TO establish line OF
ports in the guph of Gascony, to Lisbon, Madeira,
the Cape de Verd Islands, Rio Janelro, calling at
Montevideo and Buenos Ayres, in La Plata.
Finally, we are assured by our own correspon-
dents, whom we know TO be well informed, that
the minister OF the marine and colonies, is serious
y employed in considering certain propositions
made by commercial houses in Havre for the esta-
bishment, by means of loan, Of line Of packets
between Havre and the United States, and Havre
and the West Indies.
Thus we have more than enough proof 10
show, that if the law of lS40 is not to be executed
In all Its letter and spirit, 1t is not the intention of
government to regard it as not to come, which il
could not do otherwise but to modify it, to ar
range II, and render it practicable. The minister
who has not receded before any demand Of funds,
ton IN the interior of France, in making every
where railways, cannot be ignorant that he has
also contracted obligations to maritime commerce.
Il Is IN tact, shame to remain as we are, whether
in state of dependence on England for our trans
atlantic correspondence, or in the obligation to
have recourse to four men and a corporal, in order
to obtain captains OF sailing vessels to take charge
OF our commercial letters.
We know of no law which could. without freely
violating Its conditions, authorize the government
80 to make use OF private property. Why, accord
ing to such SYSTEM not suppress the mail carriers,
and by gend'armes and beadies, oblige the public
conveyances under pain of not passing the gates OF
our Cities to take charge Of and transport the letters
and dispatches of merchants! Government ought
to provide courier by sea as well by land. When
England has IN every part OF the two worlds, and
as far as New South Wales, packets either belong
ing to, or employed by government, at fixed times,
for the service Of ito msratime commerce, we can
not remain content in France with laws and regu-
lations which might be called only fit for countries
under Turkish sway Courier dn Havrc, Feb l.
