FRANCE.

The revolt in India affords the Paris papers full
employment. In all quarters the most gratifying
expressions of sympathy are to be found, while
honourable tribute is paid to the heroism of our
countrymen and women. At the same time we
observe a general expression of disapprobation at
the bloodthirsty cry for indiscriminate vengeance of
our Ministerial papers. With respect to the Fund
of Relief now being raised in London, the 1116norial
Bordelnis, in its impression of the 31st ult., after a
brief summary of the recent deplorable massacres,
publishes the following appeal to the French
people :

All Christian hearts, without distinction of nationality,
will sympathise with the sufferings of their brethren in
Bengal, and in the other provinces where the rebellion pre-
vails, and will be ready to come forth to their aid.

But we Frenchmen, who in recent and different calami.
ties, especially at the time of the earthquake in Marti-
nique, and at the time of the inundations of 1856, received
such substantial proof of British sympathy,—we who fought
and suffered side by side with the English in the late
Crimean war,—we hold it as our duty to be the first to
come forward to offer help to those of our friends and allies
who are in misfortune.

We therefore express the wish that a public subscription
may be opened without delay to receive the gifts of those
who are desirous of giving a proof of their sympathy fur the
unhappy victims of the Indian insurrection.
At the head of this list we doubt not will appear the
names of the moat august personages and of the highest
functionaries. All the notabilities of the country will
subscribe.

There is not a town in France which will not make it a
point d'hunneur to appear in the list, and we need not add
that the city of Bordeaux will figure among the first.
This appeal calls for no comment.
The Emperor continues at the camp at Chalons.
Prince Albert is expected at the camp about the 18th.
An Imperial Ordre du Jour impresses upon the
army the necessity of "strict discipline " and of
" assiduous exercise "

To officers (observes the Emperor) T recommend a
paternal severity —to soldiers necessary obedience—to
both a willing mind and strict attention to discipline.
For discipline is respect to your uniform, and the uniform
is the emblem of that noble profession of abnegation
and selfdevotion, of which you are justly proud. Let
us never forget that every characteristic sign of the army,
beginning by the flag, represents a moral idea which it is
your duty to honour. This camp will not then be a vain
spectacle offered to public curiosity, but a serious school,
which we shall turn to profit by persevering labour, and
the result of our studies will be evident if ever our country
shall want you.

General REGNAULT DE SAINT JEAN D'ANGELY,
acting as Major• General.
It is reported that the Emperor intends to make
experiments in the camp of a new system of military
manoeuvres, by means of which the three arms, in-
fantry, cavalry, and artillery, will all act together in
obedience to one and the same word of command.
A committee of general officers has made a report to
the Emperor concerning this system, which, it is
said, will greatly modify the theory of evolutions in
line, and simplify movements on a grand scale.

A telegraphic despatch from Marseilles announces
that the French squadron had left the coasts of
Corsica for Tunis. The affair is satisfactorily settled ;
but the fleet is now going, in order to produce a more
moral effect upon the population, in aid of the Bey,
and not to make a demonstration against him.
There was a panic on the Bourse on Thursday,
having its origin in the retirement of some influential
directors of the Credit Mobilier, the shares of which
fell to 890. The break up of this gigantic specula-
tion is generally anticipated.
