FRANCE. PARIS, MONDAY EVENING . Th e a tl4o French Government has receivad despatches I)a e , lan cing that the Emperor of Morocco, who has cess ! for some time unwell, has regulated his suer ef tl l l ° P. ll ' and has appointed his son, who is Governor Dots Pror:nce of Tafilat, to be his heir. This_ to difi In ao is said to have very warlike ideas, And It essentially from his father's policy. Na4as mentiimed the other day that the Emperor e°414(1 received an autograph letter from the Bey of Tunis. Letters from that place now an nounce that the Bey, in orar to secure himself in the possession of his dominions, has asked the protection of France. I understand that they are working, at the Ministry of the Interior, at a prdect for the con. version into Government securities at 4 per cent. of the property of the hospitals and charitable com mittees (bureaux de bienfaisance), estimated at 1,000,000,000 f. _ The gunboat Fusee has turned up at Hong Kong, but the corvette Durance is still missing. News has come of the death of a Prince of Wur temberg, a cousin of the King's, but it is not sup posed that this will make a difference as regards the approaching visit of the Emperors to Scutt- Bard. AUSIMA. VIF NNA, SEPT. 18. rot long since mention was made of .a pre valent report -that a aneeting was to take place between the Emperors of Austria and Russia, and positive information has now' reached me that steps were not long since taken for bringing about an interview between them. The . person who mediated. was a member of the Royal Family of Wurtemberg, and for a time it was believed that his endeavours to effect a reconciliation between the two potentates would be successful, but eventually it was found that the-Court of Russia could not resolve to let by-pones be bygones. The foregoing information was acquired at a German source, but that which is about to follow was received from a person who is on extremely intimate terms with the Russians residing in this city. -When Baron Budberg,r, a shOrt time since, returned here so suddenly from Warsaw, he was in such a vio lent hurry to see Count Buol that 'he drove direct from the railway station to the Foreign-office. My informant did not say that the Russian diplo matist had been - . convatisslOned to make arrange ments fizr a meeting between the Czar and the Emperor .Francis Joseph, but he, gave, me to understand that an annaherung (approximation) I;etween the Russian and Austrian Courts was by no means unlikely. The Emperor Napoleon is endeavouring to establish a good understanding between all the great Powers, in order that they may be able to reduce their enormous standing armies, but he will probably find Austria less, docile than either Russia : or Prussia. The reduction of. the army . would be a very great relief to Austria, but she is jealous of the continually increasing influence of the Emperor of the French, and unwilling to recognise his claim to be considered the director of the affairs of Europe. A reconciliation between Russia and Austria is more likely to be brought about by Prussia, or by some other German Power, than by France. There will be - great festivities at Stuttgard while the two Emperors are there,-but as yet little more is settled than that Balfe's opera, ~the Bohemian IGirl , is to be given on the 27thinst. Fourteen battalions of the line,lB squadrons of cavalry, - 40 guns, and sundry detachnients of Chaoseurs'and pioneers will parade, before the King's illestrious guests, among whom will be the King of Bavaria, - the Grand Duke of Baden, and several other . German Sovereigns. it has repeatedly been stated in the Garman` papers that Barons BourqUency and Budbergthe Frendli and Russian Ministers at this Court—Will be at Stutt gard on the 2.7 . th" inst., but tin to the present moment they have not received any instructions on the subject., Count Buol is better, but it ".:st related that his physicians insist on his going to Carlsbad for two or three 'weeks. insolvent at the Exchange here. Nearly all of them are Greeks, wild haVe been speculating ex cessively in . corn, and been unable through the monetary crisis to fulfil their 'engagements. M. Thouvenel and M. Boutenieff have hgd an audience of the Sultan, who conversed with them for . a considerable time. Their audience was to announce the resumption of diplomatic relations, and France and Russia being thus conciliated, we do not hear a word about Prussia and Piedmont, who follow quietly in the wake, and attract no par ticular attention. . . As some of the . prisoners - at Scutari, about 30 in number,-were being escoi ted recently to their work by five cavas or guards, the convicts watched their opportunity, made a sudden attack, disarmed their keepers, bound them, and then took to their heels. The police, however, obtained timely not'ce of what htcl occurred, and by sending out patrols without loss of time, the fugitives have been re captured, with the exception of five• CIRCASSIA, ADEKOOM, ArGUST 14. Our scouts lately brought.us certain intelligence that the Russian train horses, with the cattle re. served for the use of the troops,. were grazing out side Anapa. An attack was inwantly, prepared, and the men-selected for the expedition got quite close to Anapa without any mishap. Ht re, for the first time; the Russians got a glimpse of them, and a furious contest soon ensued. • Both sides hail many killed and wounded, but we managed to secure most of the horses, driving the cattle before us, and we did it in the greatest order. Unfortu nately, whilst operating here, a Russian steamer came up to Gelindjik in the night, landed three - companies, and made a sudden rush at the battery, which was not yet finished. The garrison could not long defend itself against such a superior force, and therefore retrented behind the second wall. • A reinforce ment happily arrived in time, so that the Russians Were driven back; and, although they actually held - the battery for a few hours, they could only carry off a couple of guns. Daring their retreat, :many of - their men fell,. and many were wounded: Among the latter was their commanding officer, but they could not be pursued, being :covered by their steamer, which kept up a constant fire on our - position. Our own loss amounted -to 20 killed and 24 wounded. This.makes the second Russian attack on this side, so that Russia-has now broken the Treaty of Paris . for the second time. The European Powers will of course wink and blink and shut their eyes, Until the :Czar compels them to make - use Of their optics one of these fine days. A milliOn or so of kilogrammes of wheat is lying here ; but, not withstanding the neutrality of the Black Sea, no merchant-7essels durst approach our coast, except a few small Turkish sandals, which, of course,- will be, phased by the Russian cruisers. But if English, American, French, or even Austrian merchantmen would only come, the Russians would then be forced to. draw in their horns. The Treaty of Paris forbids all acts of hostility in the Black Sea. The Trieste Gazette, of the 18. h Sept,,saYs that bloody battles are - constantly taking place between the Russians and 'Circassians. It states that one occurred -on a recent occasion between 15.00.0 Toherkesses, commanded . by Naib Had gi , 6ll l and Russian side ;000 to 24,000 Russians. --On the Itussian side between 4,000 and 5.000 men were : placed hors de-combat. The Tcherkesses had 8 3 3 killed. 20 The same journal . mentions that several trading _weasels from India were wrecked by a storm in the Persian Gulf. 15,000 Daghestans are, plundering the literal provinces of the Caspian. ~ THE _NORTHERN TDIES.---LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDA.YI SEPTEMBER 23, 1857. threw away their muskets to pull the boats and to swim over, and were shot down like sheep. " I never before knew the horrors of war, and what I have gone through I hope will make a lasting impression on my mind, and make me think more of God ant His great goodness to me. I am sure God spared me because He knew I was not fit to die ; and I pray God that He will prepare me, for we can truly say we know not what a day may bring forth. I had several extraordinary escapes, one bullet went between my legs as I was walking, and broke a man's leg in front of me ; another bul et hit me on the back of the head, knocking me down, but hardly breaking the skin. Everything here is quiet as yet, bat people are in a great panic. I cannot say that lam Oat of the 400 fine fella .s that started for Arrah, nearly 200 were killed ; and of the remainder I do not think more then fifty to eighty were not wounded. Out of seven volunteers, five were knocked over, four killed, and one wounded This has been the most disastrous affair that has happened out here. I. hope, however, we may saon get some more troops again from Calcutta, and get back our name. I cry to think of the way Iv-, were beaten, and of the number of poor fellows who were killed. I will send this letter at once, for perhaps the dak may be stopped, and I may not be ab'e to send a letter in a day or two I will write again if I can, but do not be alarmed if I do not. The crack on my head hardl7 broke the skin, and is nothing • the bullet hit me sideways, and the folds of cloth I had round my hat saved me. " Angi‘st I. _ _ _ . I have just head that about 30 men came in 1 - a4 night who got separated from us in the dark, and waldrr-A •to the river, where they got off in a native boat. The authentic return I hive just seen ; 150 men killed, the rest wounded, except abut 50 men who escaped untouched. I suppo:e such a disastrous affair was never heard of before in India—most dreadful mis managiment throughout. Of course we did not relieve poor Wake and his garrison. Poor creatures ! We heard that they were still holding out up to two o'clock on the day we left. . We have at Dinapore 'only 600 Europeans, and, of course, cannot send any of them How I wish the steamer With troops would arrive. We have expected them a long time ; but we have just, heard that the few r3maining regiments down country have mutinied, and I suppose they have bsen detained to walk into them. We want a good Ganeral here. I think if we had a good head things might yet turn out well ; at present they certainly .are not tright. I hive no end of work to do —running about all day long. I pray to God that whatever may happen I may be spared to tee you all once again in this world We cannot say what may happen from day.to day. .I am sure, my dearest mother, alt your prayers to Gad, for me have been answered. All through:that dreadful night, the horrors of which I shall never forget, I felt sure God, would pro tect me, and bring me back in safety. Poor ! every' soul at Ca vnpore murdered !

The Times publishes the translation cf a proclamation by Nena Sahib, which was found posted at Cawnpore. It represents the introduction of greased cartridges as having been determined upon by the Queen, as a means of destroying the religion of the Hindoos and Makomedans. It is then affirmed that the Sultan and the Viceroy of Egypt consulted how they could best aid in preventing this, and it was arranged that, as the English army must pass through Egypt, it must be cut off. The proclamation says—The instant the English army arrives the King of Egypt opened guns upon them from all sides, and destroyed and suck their ships, and not a fines boldier escaped. THE MUTINIES IN INDIA. We continue to receive interesting details re specting the state of affairs in India. The following is a translation of a proclamation posted up by Nena Sahib at Cawnpore : " A traveller jest a-rived in Cawnpore from Calcutta states that in the fist instance a council was held to take into consideration the means to be adopted to do away with the religion of the Mahomedans and Hindoos by the distribution of cartridges. The council came to this resolution, that, as this matter was one of religion, the services of seven or eight thousand , European soldiers would be necessary, as 50,000 Hindostnaets would *have to be destroyed, and then the whole of the people of Hindostan would become Christians. A petition with the substance of this resolution was sent to the Queen Victoria, and it was approved. .A council was then held a second time, in which English merchants took a pert, and it was decided that, in order that no evil should arise from mutiny, large reinforcements should be sett for. When the despatch was received and read in England, thousands of European soldiers were embarked on ships as speedily as possible, and sent off to Hindostan. The news of their being despatched reached Calcutta. The English authorities there, ordered the issue of the cartridges, for the 'real intention was to Christianise' the army first, and this beiug effected the conversion of the people would speedily tallow. Pig.' and cows' fat was mixed up with the cartridges; this became known through one of the Bengalese, who was employed in the cartridge. making establishment. Of those through whose n e ns this was divulged, one was killed and, the rest imprisoned While in this country these counsels were being adop - ed, in England the Vakeel of the sultan of Boum sent news to the Sultan that - thousands of European soldiers ware being sent for the purpose of making Christians of all the people of Hindostan Upon this the Sultan issued a firman to the' King .of Egypt to this effect Yon must deceive the Queen Victoria, fur this is not a time for friendship, for my Vakeel writes that thousands of European soldiers have been despatched for tl e purpose of making Chr stians the army and people of Hindostan In this manner, then, this mutt be checks J. If I should be remiss, then how can I show my face to G d ; and one day this may come upon me alt.°, for if the . English make Christians of all in Hindostan they will then fix their de signs upon my country.' When the firman reached the King of Egypt he prepared and arranged his troop s, before the arrival of the English army at Alexendria, fur this is the rouse to India. The instant the English army arrived the King of Egypt opened guns upon them from all sides, and destroyed and sunk their ships, and not a soldier Esc:Ted. The English in Calcutta, after the issue of tt,e order for the cartridges, and when the mutiny had become great, were in expectation of the arrival of she army from London ; but the Great God in his omnipotence had before hand put an end to this. When the news of the destruc ion of the arieY of London became knowb, then the .Governor-General was plunged in grief and sorrow and bent his head. "Printed by order of the Peishwae Bahadour." THE DISASTER AT ARRAS. '•Patna, July 31. I thank God that I am alive and well and able to write to you once more. I have been in geieat danger, and never expected to reach this place alive again . , but Ged has been most merciful to me...• As I dare say you would like to hear the whole story I will begin at the beginning. About a week ago, as we have long anticipated, the three native regiments at Dianapore mutinied. The General, man old man in his second childhood, managed . the whole affair very badly, or rather did nothing at all. No one knew who was in command of the Europeans, no one k sew whom to lock to for orders, the General was not to be found, and the consequence was that the three regiments managed to get clear off wi-h their arms and ammunition, and almost without losieg a single man ! The General was advised and asked to 'tend men after them, but this he al together declined to do, and determined to keep every Europaan in Dinapore, to take good care of himself. A day or so after the mutineers left we heard that they had gone to Arrah, where they were attacking poor Wake and party, consisting of 12 or .13 Europeans and Sikhs Wake had strongly fortified a puekha house, and laid in lots of ammunition and food. Directly we heard of this, and that they were holding out well, Me. wrote to the General to send out aid to them. At first he refused, but sher receiving a strong letter from Mr. 1i; - deinsented, and sent oft' 200 Enropeans in a steamer. The next day we heard that the steamer had suck in the rivet and th it the General had sent orders to recall them. Of course, as Englishmen, we were in a great rage at this, ' leaving a number of poor fellows to their fate; so pff and I started at 12 o'cloek at night on. Tuesday last to pitch into the cid muff. Whet we got to Dinapore we found that he had been made to change his mind, and had con • rented to send another steamer off, which luckily :hap pened just to have come in In this ;started 150 Europeans and 50 Sikhs ; we al . ogether made up a force of 44)0 men. As Wake ia one of the greatest friends I have got, I determined to give him a hand if I could, and so volunteered with seven other fellows, five of whom are dead. Well, I was up all that Tuesday. night, and at daylight on Wednesday off we started. We 'reached the nearest point to Arrah, on the banks of the Oangea, at about 2 o'clock, and were beginning to get dinner -early (so as to start whh a good feed, as we could not expect to get anything on the road) when we heard our advanced guard firing. We immediately all fell in, and went off to the place, about two miles off, where we found h 'drawn up before a laege nullah. (river) about 200 yards wide. firing away at some Sepoys on the other Fide. The Sepoys, when they saw us coming, an away; and then, as we had git so far, we thought we might as well go on After a delatacf two or three hours in getting boas and crossing over, it was nearly 7 o'clock before we got well off. From the villagers we he ird that Wake was still ad right and holding out, which was confirmed by the tiring we heard in the direction of Arrah of big guns. it. was a beautiful 'moonlight night, the road a very bad one (a ktecha one in the rains), and wooded country on both sides of us. - We did not see a soul on the road, though we passed through several villages, until we came to within fret miles of Arrah, where we saw a party of horsemen ahead of us, who galloped cif bef ire we g )t within shot. About 11 o'clock the moon went down'; however, as we did not expect that the mutineers would face us, we still went -on till we came within about a mile of the fo:tified house. We _were . passing a thick black mango roie to our right, when all' of a au !den, without any warning, the -whole pace was lighted up by a tremendous volley poured into us at about_ thirty or forty yards distance. It is impossible to say how many men fired into us . —cone Fay 500,-some 1,500. The next thing I remember was finding myself alone, lying in the middle of the road, with a crack on the hea I, and my hat gone. I suppose I must have been stunned f r a minute Wnen I recovered there were several men lying by me, but not a living soul could I see. There were lots to hear, though, for the bullets from right to left were whistling over my head. I was just thiuking where our men could be, and which way I should run, when I saw the melons advancing out of the grove with their bayonets within a dozen yards of me. I fired my double barrel right and left into them, and then ran towards our men, whom I could hear shouting on the left, under a tremen dous fire fern both rattles. Everything now was'in a most dreadful confusion ; the men were all scattered in groups of fif.ies and twenties, firing in every direction, and, I fear, killing each other. At last a,Oaptain Jonea;a very fine fellow—our commander was never seen again of er the first volley— g of hold t f a bugler, and got the men togs. her in a sort of hell w place, a half filled pond. There we all lay down in a square I was in the midd'e, with the doctor, helping hits to Ce up the wounds of the poor fe'- lows, and bring n g them water. The firing was all this time going on. The enemy could Fee us, as we were all dressed in white, whils they were nearly naked, and b.-hind trees and walls. However, the men fired about at ran dom. At last the poor doctor was knocked over, badly wounded. It was dreadful to hear the poor wounded fellows asking for help. " I shall never forget that night as long as I live. We held a consultation, and determined to reneat, as the enemy was at least 3,000 or 4,0)0 strong, and had, besides, several cannon. Direct y morning dawned we formed order, and .began our retreat. The whole distance, 10 miles, we walked under a most tremendous fire : the ditches, the jungles, the houses', and, in fact, every place of cover along the road was lined with Sepoys. We kept up a fire as we went along, but what could we do ? We could see no enemy, only puffs of smoke. We tried to charge, but there was nobody to charge; on all sides they fired into us, and were scattered all over the country in groups of ten , and twenties. Dozens of poor fellows were knocked over within a yard of me on my right a- d, left, but, thank God, I escaped in the most miraculous Way. The last five miles of the road I carried a poor wounded fellow, who bagged me not to leave him, and though W 3 had nothing to eat for more than twenty-four hours, and I had had no sleep for tso nights; I never felt so strong in my life, and I stepped out with the man as if he had been a feather, thorrgh he was as big as myself. Poor fellow ! the men, most of them more or less wounded, were leaving him behind, and the cowardly Sepoys, who never came within 200 yards of ne, were runnit gup to murder him. I got the poor fellow safe over the nullab • I swam out and got a boat, put him in, and went over with a lot of others. The poor fellow thanked me with tears in his eyes. At the creFeleg of the nullah wi lost a gee t Pat/ men ; they PHOTOGRAPHIC SOCIETY. The opening meeting of the fifth session of this society was held last night in the Royal Institution, Colquitt-street, Mr. Corey, president in the chair. • • The chief business of the meeting, was the PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS. . He commenced by congratulating the society on its prosperous condition, and then slightly glanced at the progress of photography in those days. . _ He impressed on the members the importance of still farther developing the art, and of giving ,to' the •sosiety each sessions the result of their vacation labours. He then continued : It may be expected I shall carry out my old precept, and set the example, by narrating nay orn ob +(nye tions losing oueresess. These, from the pressure of more important eng Igemento, have neither been so important nor so nurne - ons as I could desire, but they have bsen chiefly directed to the quality and c ondition of baths both positive and negative, and I am boll enough to say, hints based upon actual experiment will be werh attention on this fundamental principle of all good pictures. A pod working collodion is of most material importance, doubtless, bat its place mat be supplied by albumen ; not so a defective bath ; nothing will avail yon if this be wrong ; nor do I attach that importance to any infallible form of a devel -ping agent,. such as two subtle dispu tants of the pres-nt day are waging amicable war about just now. I have too high a value for both of them to yen , use an opinion in behasf of either I will only invoke your dmiration of the consummate skill displayed in the special pleadings on both sides, and return to the matter in hand. The primary strength is too generally supposed to Ontinus so long. toe nearly so long, as the liquid remains in available quantity; for it is believed that it the silver be abstracted by repeated immersion of plates, a proportionate. bulk of water hangs to those plates. Hence the balance of strength remains mach the same, though the v Aurae is dineinisheJ, 'and this error I have seen confirmel by the use of the hydrometer ; for the experimenter has triumphaudY pointed to the scele as exhibiting the roper standard of Argentine salts in it. True, but what have those salts become ? Look at the hue of the liqu 7 d, and say what is the cease of that yellow tinge ? Why, the redundancy of iodide that has become generated by repeated immersion. Tine far ther ; it is the iodide that forms the nascent image, bat it is only by a prepon erance of nitrate, which, after a. tims, can herdly be said to exist; it is thee inevi table that the bath mu --t be strengthened, and much of that iodide removed. How? Thu.: determioe how much more of the crystallized (not fined) nitrate y 'intend to add; put just so much water into your bath as would requisite to dissolve that much at the rate of 39 grains the ounce ; the iodide that was soluble in the bath, of previous strength, is no longer so, and the solution becomes turbid; leave this a whole night, and it will be found preci piteed at the. bottom of the vessel ; pour off the clear liquid in the morning ; dissolve in it the nitrate of silver previously resolved on; add about as many drops of nitric acid as you have superadded ounces of water (more may probably be necessary for reasons beyond the limit of this paper to describe) and you will find your bath in all its pristine efficacy. Now, as we have seen that the acidity of the positive bath is a fact of primary importance, so the utter absence .of that acidity is of equal consequence in the negative bath. While . out with two of our most esteemed members during the hot:est. day f this summer, I coul.l not, with all m 7 best enieavaurs, get intense negatives, "wh;le these geUtlemen. with the use of the same Chemicals, had no such difficulty ; they woes working with plates of stereoscopic size, while mine were twelve inches square. On examining my bath, on my return, I found it to be. powerfully acid. In their small plates. this had not mattered so much, but the aggregate quantity had been faial in the immense surface of mine. I eiaporated the whole eighty ounces to dryne7s, tog Id on the heat till I saw fumes of nitrous gas evolve I dissolved egain, and have since had no such difficulty. Before concluding I would again urge upOe the met/eh:Ts the exoediency of raising the digeity ni the art beyond the mare toy of the fancy ore the xecreetion of the laituse hour. The known fiielity of pho ography has Causal it to be received, ere now, as evidense in a court of justice. Why, then, should we not exercise its faculties to record ail great events, such as those that teem with good to the rising generation, like the laying of the s:ono of the f itu-e library, or to chronicle the vast changes that a-e continually being made to i nprovs this thriving town, ,Already have we lived to regret that there is nothing extant to remind us cf the quaint old edifices that, while they encumbered the thoroughfares, yet gave a picturesque interest to the strets and lanes , many of which there may be an urgent necessity hereaices to recall. I before insisted on this, while having the honour to preside over your meetings. I again press this on gal/. notice.

The first serious symptom of aberration of intellect cceurred a few daya ago at Stirling, to which place the newly-exalted man had wanfiered, and having his pockets splendidly replenished with ..yellow G:-ordies," he bethought himsklf of making a purchase of two of the best carriage horses that Stirling ciuld protium The horses wire got and paid for.
