II seems decided that the copper coins OF one
and two sous, now nearly worn smooth, and
dating for the most part from the commencement
of the century, are to be melted over and struck
anew. The Mint of Paris being already over
run with work, that Of Bordeaux is to begin the
operation and to execute one.quarter Of the whole
recoinage The Director Of the Mint has been at
Paris lately, to receive the instructions of the
Minister of Finances, and has returned to Bor-
deaux. The whole copper currency of France
amounts to about fifty-six million francs; the
share of Bordeaux will therefore be about four
teen millions, or nearly two hundred millions OF
coins. The die will be similar to that of the
new silver and gold pieces-the head of the

PhiiPpt:
CLARENoST, January 80, 1852.
GENTLEMEN We have received the protest you
prepared sgainst the DEGREES OF conhscation issued
against u.s. and We thank yeu most sincerely for your
offer to resist those acts of injustice and violence
We have found II quite natural that you should have
occupied yourselves specially with the question of
law, without referring 10 the preamble of the de-
crees, which so Insulting TO the memory OF the
King our father For moment We thought Of laying
aside that reserve which condition of exile imposes
on to Tepel, of ourselves, the attacks shame
fully directed against the best of fathers and, we
fear no, 10 add, the best OF Kings But on mature
delbers ion 1t appeared TO US that the silence Of
contempt was the best reply 10 such imputations.
We will not therefore condescend to refute what is
most particularly odlous In these calumnes by being
uttered by him who had occsSlon to feel on two
casions the clemency of the King Lous Philippe,
and whose family have ever received Kindness from
him. We leave 10 public opinion the of doing
justice to language harsh the acts it accompa
lies and II We may believe the proofs of sympathy
receive from all quarters, we are sufficiently
avenged. For the honor OF the country to which
the King our father gave is years Of peace,
Prosperity and dignity-of country which we,
his sons, have terved-fOr the honor Of that
France which is The country we love, we are happy
TO state that those scandalous DEGREES, and their
preamble, which is Still more disgracefu have been
published only under the regime of martial law, and
after the suppression of the protecting guarantees of
the liberty OF the nation.
We pray you gentlemen In conclusion to ex-
press our warm gralitudeto the eminent men of all
paltes who have offered us the aid OF their talents
ard of their courage. We accept their assistance
With all our hearts, persuaded as we are that
nights of society IN France.
Receive gentlemen, the assurance OF our ahec-
ronate feelings for you
