Subsequently , an amendmont authorizing tho construction of five propellers and one side-wlieel steamer-for the China soas was carried , by a majority of ons . An amendment giving tho Presidanij power to issue letters of marque in certain cases was defeated by a imvjority of thirty-fouri A bill making appropriations for the Transatlantic mail ; service has been reported . Unusual activity is reported to prevail in thB > Navy-yanl , Brooklyn . A strange report is mentioned by the Ncto York Herald , but the reader will do well to receive it with caution . That journal says : — " Startling developments are qu . the eve . of being , made of tho intentions of tho . European .

J ) a . Arnold . . ; ¦ . "¦ ¦ . ¦ FRANX 3 E . | The supercession of General Espinasse by M . Delmele as Minister of the Interior will lead to some other changes . The post of Secretary-General of the . Miuistrv is to be abolished , and various changes are to- bo made among the Prefects and sub-Prefects . A project is bein- talked of for cutting a lateral canal m connexion with the river Rhone . Beginning at the ArdechCj it will conduct the waters , of that .

" On June 12 th / ' says the Dully News Paris , correspondent , " an individual named Dassaud de Ne \ reje , belongino ; to the unfortunate category of 'pai-doned political offenders , ' was sc-nteneed to six . nwHrths' imprisonment and a fine of 500 f . for speaking evil of tlie Emperor . A man named Lcger Ferre " , carpenter and poet , has also been tried for au insult to . the . Emperor . On- Easter Mondayi he accompanied the . fraternity of carpenters of Ghartres in a procession , which it Ls their wout to hold on that day , and after dinBe * - ; he aang a ribald song of his own comppsitioa , entiUad ' Gomfessions of the Emperor to the Archbialaop of- Pju-j ^ ' It was moreover proved that Uq oppeared in the streets with a red cockade in his hat , and cried 'Vive la B ^ p ub lique !' For these offences the Chartres tribunal sentenced hitn to three months * imprisonment . The Government , not thinking the punishment severe enough ,, appealed a minima , and has obtained a judgment of twelve months " The Mdmonat des Pyrenees of June 17 th gave tlie following account of an extraordinary attack upon several public functionaries at Orthez : — - " Gn June i 4 t . li at about eleven in the evening , the Sub-Prefect of vhe ' arrondissement , the President of the Tribunal , the Procure ur-Imperial , the Mayor of Orthez and his assistants anil some other persons , eleven in all , left the Chateau dArgagnoit . They had not proceeded far when their carriages were assailed by a party of twenty meii , who threw stones and uttered menacing cries . The windows of the carriages were broken , and some of the inmates were \ hurt—one of them , it appears , seriously . The men got clear off ivithout heing recognized ; but a dog belonging to one of them-was seized , and will doubtless afford a clue to the discovery of the rurffllba . We are entirely at a loss to account for this outrage . " ¦¦ ¦ The ^ -Ao t / e ^ ' ^^ ajonrnalof the Haut-Rbin , gives the following as an analysis of the wilt of the late Duchess of Orleans : —" Her Royal Highness place » her two children under the protection of the Queen Maria Amelio and their uncles ; expresses a wish that tha Comte de Paris shall be declared of age , and prays the Queen to be the guardian of the Due de Chartres . Addressing her sons , the Duchess exhorts them to take for then-model the prudence of their grandfather and tlie chivalrous virtues of their father , and expresses a hope that they will never abandon the political prinei . lea ; of their house , which fheir grandfather maintained during the eighteen years he was on the throne , and which their lather , as proved by his will , energcticaJlv professed . After a few touching words of adieu to l'Vance , the Princess divides the bulk of her fortune equally between her two sons . Her Royal Highness also leaves legacies to members of her family in GetrmaHv and paiiHiona to old servants .

Emilo Augier , " says the Times Paris correapondent , "has just been published . It is dodicuted toPrlneo Napoleon , wiMtout whose intervention it would never have been performed , and is preceded by a preface which makes some amusing revelationa respecting the dramatic censorship . Among other things , it is said that the author made ajhnnte da chambre aay to Mudame Pommoau , the lionne pauvre : ' I hear Monsieur Ponimenu ; run to uimiau him : ' and tlie censorship wrote ii » tho m . irKin , » Tlik » ia indocent .
