Marshal M'Mahon has commeneed operations
against the revolted Arab tribes. The bat victory
has coat the French rather dear. Ou Sept. 30
Bon Mara's uncle, at the head of 1,500 men, as
General Jolivet, and was repulsed, but the
French had a loss of 86 men (killed) is the engage-
ment. Other affairs took place on Sept. 30 and
Oct. 2 between General Lacroix and the Boa bads
tribes, the result of which is not stated in detail,
but the Arabs were beaten. Another general,
Deligny, was commencing operations os Oct. 2.

News has arrived of the settlement of the differ-
ence between France and Morocco. Baron Aym6
d'Aquin, the French minister at Tangiers, has been I
informed by the Morocco government that orders
have been given to the custom-house at Tangiers to
pay bun the sum of 125,000 fr., which France
claims as an indemnity for the crime of which a
French subject was lately the victim at Tetuan.
The Morocco government has at the _Jame time
resorted to active measures for finding out and
bringing to justice the authors of the out-
rage. Moreover, the French minister has been
officially informed that Achach Pacha, governor of
Tetuan, who was guilty of connivance with the as-
sassins, has been superseded, and is now a prisoner
in irons. The new Pacha of Tetuan is Moham-
med-ben-Manaour, the former cadi of Mehdiu.
The Sultan of Morocco is shortly expected at Ra-
bat, the revolted tribes having demanded Oman—
i.e., pardon. The Talisman frigate is waiting at
Tangiers to convey Baron Aym6 d'Aquin to Rabat
as soon as the news of the arrival there of Sultan
Sidi Mohammed shall be reoeived.
The nomination of M. Benedetti to be French
Ambassador at Berlin is regarded as a further step
in the new policy inaugurated by the convention of
September 15. This diplomatist, one of the most
active and able in the French service, was put
aside two years ago because he bad committed
himself too strongly to the hostile views of MM.
Thouvenel and Lavalette towards the temporal
power. He has been ever since out of employ-
ment. It is now conjectured, with considerable
plausibility, that his mission to Berlin is
to obtain the approbation of Prussia to the
convention, and on that theme to break
up any incipient alliance between Austria
and Pruaaia. It was, perhaps, with the design of
cultivating Prussia that the Empress was instructed
to allow Count de Goltz to accompany her from
Baden to Paris—a fact which occasioned much
surprise, and was at first not believed.
The clerical journals now represent that the Pope,
while firmly refusing to rally to the convention,
will adopt a dilatory system, and wait as long as
possible to see what may turn up. As to the
French scheme of giving him an op-
portunity to recruit an army of mer-
cenaries, the Monde says unctuously that
the Pope asks for no soldiers, but that any of
his children who may volunteer to serve him will be
treated with paternal love. He does not therefore
refuse to augment his army. The papal loan is in a
bad way, and advantage will be taken of the pre-
sent crisis to stimulate the faithful to subscribe to
it. A fact which more than anything else discou-
rages the partisans of the temporal power is, that
the convention of September 15 is nothing else than
a revival of an old scheme of Cavour's, who never
expected either to get Rome by force or to
, have it handed directly to Italy by the French.
All he wanted was that the French should go away,
and he was ready to give the very guarantees
against any attack on the Pope from " without"
, which are now contained in the convention.

' M. de Persigny's last letter, about liberty, autho-
rity, centralisation, and decentralisation, is the
least successful of any he has written. He has had
great difficulty in getting it inserted in the French
papers. The Paya drily said that it could not find
room for it, and the Constitutionnel publishes only
this morning an effusion which appeared in the
Patrie so long ago as Thursday last. This indif-
ference to his compositions is a great let down for
the imperial favourite, who was once so powerful.
Let him, however, only get in office again, and the
press will return to its obsequiousness.
All the musical critics speak of the new opera
Roland d Roncevan.r, as the greatest success that
the theatre in the Rue Lepelletier has had for many
years. The author, M. Mermet, was but yester-
day almost unknown. Now he is a hero. His
first work, the Roi David, was damned fifteen
years ago. He has brought out nothing since
and Boland, which, after three or four perform-
ances, floats high on the tide of public favour, was
rejected by very many managers.

PARIS, SATURDAY ECZNINO.

I was present to-day at the inauguration of a
new race course at Porchefontaine, within half •
mile of Versailles. The ground has been taken by
a company called the " International Race Course
Society (Limited)," and the capital has, I believe,
been mainly subscribed in England. There is no rea-
eon why the speculation should not succeed if well
managed, for the taste for horse racing has of late
spread rapidly in France. The Porchefontaine course
is pleasantly enough situated , though less picturesque
than that of Vincennes or Longchamps. From the
tops of the towers of the grand stand which has
been erected there is a splendid view of Versailles
on one side, and of the Virofloy woods on the other,
but the spectator on level ground does not see far,
and has but an imperfect view of the course. Every
thing to-day was too new, including the course itself,
which haying been freshly deprived of the natural
sod, is in this dry season dusty and hard. Grass will
be laid down for another year. A handsome tribune
Las been constructed for the Emperor's use, but he
did not occupy it to-day. As usual, where a joint
English and French committeeact together for the
first time, there was a good deal of mismanagement.
The thing bad not been sufficiently advertised in
Paris, and the attendance was consequently thin.
Nevertheless, there was a fair sprinkling of the
sporting world, including Isabelle, the Jockey Club
flower girl. Although the races were said to
be international there were no horses from
England—a fact which I heard a member of the
committee account for by the observation that New-
market races are next week. The prizes were not
large, and no tirst-rate horses competed for them.
The Duke de Nlorny's and Counti F. de La,graoge's
stables took the prominent part in the day's sport.
There were five events—the first, a selling race,
entitled Prix de Pont Colbert, 1,000 francs, was
won by Count de Lagrange's Belle Ferronihre,
beating the Duke de Morny's Dinorah, who was
the favourite. The latter lost in consequence of a
bandage round one of her fore legs which became
untwisted, and very nearly threw Lowdown. N 0.2, was
a handicap of 2,000 f., for which Count Lagrange's
Benjamin beat Duke de Morny's Astaroth. For
the third, the Prix de Virollay, 3,000 f., for which
there were • good many entries, five horses only
started. The Duke de Morny's Sauvage won,
making a capital rade with Benjamin, who came in

Dearly neck and neck. The fourth, and principal
prize, 4,000 f., 2 miles distance, had only two com-
petitors, and was won easily by Mr. Thomas
Carter's mare Nobility, against one of Count
Lagrange's homes. A hurdle-race, which con-
cluded the day's amusement, was a poor
affair. Only two horses started, and as one
bolted at the third leap the other came in at
leisure. The second of these races will come off on
November 1, and if, as the committee hopes, the
railway company will run trains to stop close to the
course, half way between Viroilay and Versailles,
there will no doubt be a much better attendance
than to-clay.
