News has been received from Tours; it was brought by an officer who ran the blockade.

We are much elated to learn that the result of M.Jules Favre's interview has been posted up throughout France.

We believe that the effect of this measure "will be equal to an army." The Post Office informs the public that a regular system of balloons has been organised, and that letters will be received and forwarded to the provinces and abroad, provided they do not weigh above four grammes.

A deputation of English and American correspondents waited to-day on M.Jules Favre, to ask him to give them facilities to send their letters by the balloons.

This he promised to do.
