From Caen, of the 20th ult. we hear that the decree for restraining the ingress and egress of foreigners, is not near so severe as it was at first reported. Passengers were allowed to remain at the port at which they land, under bail of two respectable merchants until their passports are arrived from Paris, provided they have given notice, by letter, of their arrival. Passports to leave France are granted without much trouble under the same kind of security; but the want of these formalities, subjects the cargo of the vessel to confiscation; and this is the utmost extent of the penalty. M. and madame Deshayes were still at Dieppe, waiting for their passports from Paris.
