The Royal Court of Pau has decided that there are grounds for de- taining M. de la Graciniere, n correspondent of the Gazette de France, whose arrest at Bayonne has been announced. He is charged with having kept up a correspondence with the partisans of Don Carlos. The Indieateur of Bordeaux mentions a singular circumstance con nected with his arrest. When the police-officers went to the hotel where lie lodged, they were told that he had gone out, and taken with him the key of his room ; upon which they placed seals on the door. The next day, when they returned, broke the seals, and opened the door, they found him in the room. Hence he had time to destroy all papers that might compromise him, if he had any.
