Notification.
WASHINGTON, October I5.-The Secretary
of State has recently distributed pamphlets
| concerning the Paris Universal exhibition
of 1867, in which it was announced that all
applications of citizens of the United States
must be filed at Paris before the 3lst of Oc-
tober instant. In thus publishing the cor
respOndence Mr.. Seward felt it to be his
duty TO call attention to the passage to that
effect in one of Mr.. Bigelow's dispatches. It
is presumed, however, that the Imperial
Commission will aeeede 10 a request which
has been made through our minister at Pa
ris, for an extension of time for applications
from the United States, and that even if
they should be unable to do SO, Mr.. Beck
with, our special Commissioner at Paris, can
draw up the general plan ofthe organization
required by the programme before the 3lst
of this month, in such a manner as to pro-
vide for the admission of applications from
the United States which may be made be-
fore January 1866, or which may be received
at Paris in time to be included, if accepted
by our agent, in the detailed plan of ar
rangements required by the Imperial Com
mission, from Mr. Beckwith, before the 3lst
of the last named month, as stated in an of
fetal notice published few days ago.

French Industrial Exposition
WAsHISGrON October 81. C. Dearly,
Esq, the United States Dispatch agent at
No. Spruce street. has been appointed
agent for the exposition in the United States.
All applications to exhibit and for informa-
tiOn should be addressed to him. He is au-
thOrized to decide upon the admissibility of
such applications with regard to the question
of transportation. The programme gives
until the 9th of March, 1867, for the admis-
sion of foreign products at French seaports,
and Congress will therefore have ample time
to decide whether it will, as heretofore on
occasions of exhibitions of such magnitude,
provide free transportation for articles going
from the United States. II would thus ap-
pear that inventors and producers of the
United States have only to make up their
minds and notify Mr.. Derby with reasonable
as to what they propose to send
to secure the advantages of being represent
ed at an exhibition which will probably sur
pass all of its predecessors in splendOr and
