THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 4, 1852.

• FRANCE. •
PARIS, WIDXVIDLT
To dey has been a metastable high-day and holy-
day at Vanillin. Although, until the appearance of
the alonitevr this morales,* was not very generally
known that the promise of the President of the Re-
public to show Abd-el-Kader a cavalry review was
to be realised on the plain of Satory to-day, the
notice was quite long enough to bring considerable
crowds to all the early trains for Versailles. A spe-
cial train to convey Abd.el-Kader was ordered to be In
readiness at a past 11. Some ministers before that time,
the minister at war, Gen. St.Arnand, Gen. Magna], and
several staff officers arrived at the station in the
Place du limn. Precisely at the appointed hour
Abd.el-Kader stepped out of his carnage and as-
cended the steps of the railway Mallon. He was
received by the crowd without any cries, but with
much respectful deference, not unmingled with un-
mistakeable signs of companion ; most of the men
I near him took off their hats as he approached. He
paused several times while mounting the steps, and
acknowledged the salutations of the spectators with
a sustained dignity and grace, which many
Emma sovereigns might study with advantage.
There is an extraordinary and captivating beauty
about his regular, delicate features, and large wild
eye. His adventurous life and the sorrows of his long
captivity do not appear to have abated the vigour
of his wiry frame. He does not look more than 40
years of age, although some of his biographers fix the
date of his birth so far back as 1802. In height
he is below the middle size, but so far u the
loose Arab dress allows one to judge he is
admirably proportioned. There is a grace, light-
, nese, and activity about hie every motion and ges-
ture, which, united to the imposing dignity of his
I demeanour, is most striking. Although his coun-
tenance plainly bespeaks the gravity of his character, I
there is about it none of that nil admirari indifference
so much remarked in the Arab sheiks who were
here in May. On the contrary he seems to be on
the look out for new impressions, and the play
of his features clearly evinces the interest he
I takes in the many novelties which meet his eye in
this the land of his conquerors.
The Minister of War received Abd-el•Kader at
the station, and conducted him to a state car-
riage in a train which started immediately
for Versailles, and arrived there by a quarter to
twelve. At the foot of the steps of the station
at Versailles horses were in waiting for the emir,
the French generals and the staff. Abd-el-Kader
vaulted lightly upon a slightmilk-white Arab charger,
belonging to the Prince President, the same which
ho tried on Monday at St. Cloud. This charger was
richly caparisoned ; the saddle was covered with
crimson velvet, and the bridle was of burnished gold.
Tho horse had richly gilt winkers closely fitting to
the eye, which gave it an unusual appearance for a
charger. The party being mounted, Oen. St. Arnaud
conducted the Emir to the reviewing-ground on
the plain of Satory, a distance of about three-quar-
ters of a mile from the station. The whole popula-
tion of Versailles, reinforced by the contents of nu-
merous special trains from Pans lined the way. The
weather was charming—a perfect specimen of a
Martinmas summer day. As the cavalcade ap-
proached Satory, the turf terraces on either
side of the road were seen to be thickly studded
with groups of well dressed gypsy parties sitting
on the round, and enjoying the animated spec-
tacle which the disposition of the ground allowed
every one to see with comfort. The appearance of
Abd el-Kader's white burnous upon the vast plain of
Satory was the signal for a roar of artillery, and the
review instantly commenced. The line of cavalry
extended farther than the naked eye could reach.
There were, I believe, fiftysquaclrons upon the ground.
The review being confined to cavalry and horse artil-
lery, the movements were executed with extraordinary
rapidity. The celerity of the evolutions of the
artillery, in spite of the exceedingly muddy state of
the ground, was particularly admired. Although a
large number of manceuvres, extending over a very
large space, were performed the review did not last
more than en hour and a half. I had forgotten to
mention that, contrary to general expectation, Louis
Napoleon was not present.
A decree in the Moniker makes the following
appointments in the departmental commission of the
Seine for the year 1832:—M. Delangle, president;
M. Perier. vice-president; M. d'Eichtbal, secretary;
and M. Possoz, vice secretary.
A Paris correspendet of the Emancopation, of
Brussels, says :
At the time of the return of General de Castelbajac,
French ambassador in Russia, it was everywhere stated that
the general would sot return %obis post. I put you, however,
ou your guard against this report by saying that the Emperor
of Russia had demaaded,tbrough an influential personage,
the maintenance of this diplomatist at St.Petemburg. General
Ciatelbajac, after an glance of two months, sets of this
very day for the Russian capital. Great importance is at-
tached to this departure; and it is said that M. de Kisseleff,
the Russian minister, who left Paris at the moment of the
return of Louis Napoleon, may return here before the pro-
clamation of the empire.

ITALY.

PIEDMONT.

The Riforgamento of Turin of the 31st ult. states
that the ministerial crisis there has not yet by any
means received a solution. It appears that Generals
Dabormido and Lamormora, Baron Manno and
Count Revel have all declined the offers made to
them ; uff it was rumoured that Count Balbo had
ahead/ resigned his new powers iuto the hands of
the King in consequence.
The Turin correspondent of the Official Savoy
Gazette states that Count Balbo has only accepted
office on the express condition that the Paedmontese
constitution be maintained in its integrity. The great-
est existing difficulty is the dispute with Rome. The
Pope, who, it is said, is disposed to acknowledge
the Bacardi law and the abolitionef ecclesiastical pri-
vileges, will not consent to the Civil Marriage Bill,
and the mission of the new minister, whoever he is,
must be to settle matters with Rome. The follow-
ing list is circulated in well-informed circles : Bebe,
Foreign Affairs and President of the Council ; Revel,
Finances; Belo*, Justice; di Pollen°, Interior
Moses, Public Works; Broglie, War.
