New YORK, March I8.-The Paris COR
respondent of the New York Times an.
nounces the important fact that Minister
Day has served a written notification
upon the French Emperor that if the rebel
cruiser. Rappahannock, now at Calais, is
allowed to proceed to sea, the French Gov
eminent will be held responsible for all the
damage she may do to American commerce.
1t is also announced that the French Gov
eminent have issued more stringent regula
tons concerning cruisers of the belligerents.
Among other things specified in these re-
gulations are two to the effect that no ves~
sci of the beiligerents can remain in port
more than two hours, unless by stress OF
weather or for necessary repairs, and that
no vessel can return to French port after
leaving it in less than three mouths. SD

C1rYELArp, Ohio, April 10.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, April 10.
We extract from the last number Of the
Reporter, q statement Of the manner OF
distributing hospital supplies in this de-
partment, also an interesting letter from
Charles Butler ESQ and an account Of the
progress Of the hospital gardens establish
ed by the Sanitary Commission ct Chatta-
nooga:
How SANITARY STORES ARE DISTRIBUTED IN
TIE ARMY OF THE CUMBERLAND.
They are placed in store rooms as con-
venient as possible to the hospitals and
camps, in charge Of competent store
keeper, aAd are given out by him, first
and principally on the written request Of
the surgeon in charge, who in this request
states the number for whom he desires to
procure stores, and the special wants.
Secondly. The store keeper issues stores
on the application Of the ladies in charge
of what is called the "ight-diet kitchen "
in hospitals. Those drawn by the surgeon
are, as a general rule, placed in charge Of
those ladies, when the hospitals are so for
tunate as to have such help. These ladies
cook and distribute them to the sick.
Thirdly. The Stores are given to Hos
pital Visitors, agents who 60 to hospitals
and camps, seeking out from evely possi-
BILE source any special cases Of want and
supplying them. Such visits are made as
often as possible.
Fourthly. The store-keepers fill sll or
ders given by State agents, for any soldier
they may find needy, or who apply to them
for relief They also furnish to individual
soldiers who may apply to sny Of the
agents for relief, as soon ss it can be as
certained they are really needy. Under
q general order from the Secretary Of the
Department, they extend to the agents oi
the Christian Commission the same privi-
leges as are enjoyed by our own relief
agents, distributing to them to supply any
individual cases Of neglect or suffering
which they may discover.
Filthy. They furnish goods to the "Sol
diers' Homes and 10 the "HospitGl
Trains" When application is made by
the surgeons or soldiers, for such articles
as the Government have for distribution
efforts are made by the agents Of the Com.
mission to have them supplied from Gov
ment stores.
