The Editors of Gdiignani's Messenger nave re-
ceiyed positive injunctions to copy no articles
from the English journals except such as are ia
vorable to Louis Napoleon and his course. \
leader now and then from The Morning Post Is
therefore the only London criticism that they
are permitted to transfer to their columns.
A VIGOROUSLY Napoleonic journal states that
during the removal OF the desks OF the exRe-
representatives. from the late National Assembly,
some rather curious papers were found. In that
of member Of the Mountain, proposed by
certain Journalist as a candidate for the Pfesl-
dency, was discovered sort Of profession de fol,
in the handwriting of that gentleman-M. Ma
daud, the carpenter, is meant. The spelling was
outrageous, and hardly know how to initiate 1t
in English. The following is something like Il,
however. al am a mann or convikshuns

This is doubtless untrue, but as NJ. Nadaud IS
exiled and cannot deny it, and could get no pa
per to publish denial even if he were here, the
coiners of libels and SANDER have FAR held Tor
the exercise of their profession.
Within the last fortnight, 1000 liberty trees
have been uprooted by the police and the gen
d'armes, in Paris and the suburbs The largest
and finest was that planted by Louis Blanc IN
the garden of the Luxembourg. About 200 IN
scrptions of the Republican motto have been
effaced.
The Hotel de Vile is to be brought into inme-
date communication with the Prefecture OF Pc.
lice and the Ministry of the Interior by mean OF
the electric telegraph.
The new coins have appeared. Five franc
pieces are selling in the streets at ten sous pre-
MUM. They do not give satisfaction, however;
the head of Louis Napoleon is poorly done, and
understand that no further issue of the new
currency will be made until another die can be
engraved. If we are to have the Empire in tn,
course OF a fortnight, we should think it as well
to wait that event, instead of establishing coin
age which will so soon be out OF date.
The Directors of the Custom House have Just
published general view of the coasting ira lie
of France during the year 1850. From this doc
ument extract few of the more important de-
tails The merchandise transported during the
year 1850 by coasting vessels from one part of
France to another amounted to 100000 tuns
being an increase of per cent. upon the year
ls49, and decrease of s per cent. upon the ave-
rage of the five preceding years. This decrease
was at first attributed to the competition of the
various lines Of railroads which have been con-
structed or opened during the last five years.
But as no one instance could be found in which
the diminution could be traced TO the action OF
any competing railroad, the cause was sought for
elsewhere. Owing TO the scanty harvests Of the
years 1915, &c, and AZ, the coasting vessels
were largely employed in carrying breadstnlis
from the points which were well supplied to
those where the dearth was more severely felt.
In 40 and 80, on the contrary, the yield was
large in all parts of the territory, aud the coast
ing trade in consequence appears to fall of, be-
cause of this field of usefulness being no longer
open.
Out of the 100000 tunS, representing the
whole shore trade of the year, l,S75,O0O were
carried by ships trading between ports in the
same sea, and l94, GOO by vessels plying between
ports in different seas as between Eayre and
Bordeaux. The trade from the ports OF the Bay
Of Biscay to those of the Mediterranean is on
the increase, while that from the Mediterranean
to the Bay is sensiby declining. IL per cent. of
the whole trade was IN wood for fuel, III per
cent. planks and wood for building purposes
wine IL per cent, breadstuis 10 per cent, sea,
salt 9 per cent, coal /! per cent, sc. The
number of vessels employed IN the trade during
the year is not given, but the number of ship
loads Is set down at 4 700, and the tunnage Of
the vessels engaged at 2,4l7,0OO tuns. Itwill be
understood that IN this last item, the tunnage of
each vessel is repeated as often as it leaves the
harbor with fresh cargo. The coasting trade
in France IS an important element in the educa
ton of sailors for the high seas, and In the re-
crultment of the navy GB.F.
