PARIS, TOZSDAT Emma.
The Pays says that the Emperor will remain in
Algiers till May 26, and that he may be expected
back in Paris on the 2nd or 3rd of June.
The Bey of Tunis, following the exempla of the
Emperor of Morocco, has determined to send a
special embassy to Algiers to compliment the Em-
peror Napoleon. The French frigate Eldorado
has received orders to proceed to Tunis to fetch

the personuel of this mission.
Marshal Bazaine, besides his other conquests,
has found a rich wife in Mexico—a country which,
though ruined as a nation, contains mazy extremely
wealthy families. The oommauder-in-chief of the
French army of occupation is about to be married
to Madile. Maria Josefa de la Pens, the daughter
of Don Francisco de la Pena. The young lady thus
about to be elevated to the rank of "Madame la
Mardehale" is only 17 years of age. Riot teat
were pour un sapeur is the joyous proverb echoed
by the mess rooms on this occasion.
The instructions to the government journals in
regard to the many strikes now going on in Paris
are to say as little about them as possible ; to refuse
to insert letters from the workmen, on the ground
that they would provoke answers from the masters,
and et) lead to iuterminable controversy ; and to
inculcate this doctrine as a reason why the opera-
tives should agree with their employers as quickly
as possible--that the recent free trade measures
invite the foreigner to profit by alackne.s of pro-
duction in France.
The prisoners in Olichy, alarmed at the rumours
of the opposition which the biU for the abolition
of imprisonment for debt meets with in the
Corps Legislatif, lately drew up a telegraphic
despatch to be nut to General Fleury,
now with the Emperor in Algiers, begging
him to plead their cause with his Majesty. The
clerks at the telegraph office refused to forward it.
There are now in Clichy a great many Spanish
prisoners, and it is said that they are about sepa-
rately to petition the Empress. The bill will, I
believe, certainly come before the Chamber this
year, but it may very likely be mutilated. Several
deputies, while willing to abolish imprisonment for
debt for trifling sums, with to have a power re-
served to the judges to award imprisonment for
large amounts. K Rouher, according to one report,
said he would rather abandon the bill than yield to
this amendment.
K Bandon, an advocate, who was confined in a
lunatic asylum some years ago, and who, when
liberated, had an angry correspondence with M.
BiUsult, then Minister of the Interior, on the sub-
ject, lately brought an action for damages against
the doctor and director of the establishment. He
pleaded bis own cause, and made a great impression
on the court by the grave, calm, and rational cha-
racter of his speech. But before sitting down he
told the presiding judge that he desisted
from his claim. " I have been the victim
of an error," be said, "and in bringing
before your tribunal the persons who committed
it, my object was not to obtain money, but to prove
that lamin my right senses. I think I have suc-
ceeded, and am content" This peroration produced
a burst of applause in court.
The uniform of the French infantry is to be changed
and made conformable to a new model, which will
be produced at the review of the Emperor's fete on
August 15. These changes are extremely expensive,
but it is admitted that the present uniform is the
ugliest ever seen.
At the Bourse the Credit Mobilier report was
the great subject of discussion. The general public
seemed inclined to look favourably upon it,
although in reality it says nothing but that there
has been a bad year, that it has been terribly
dipped by the Mexican Loan, and that it gives
25fr. dividend, and leaves people to find out what
is the real state of its condition and prospects. But
the purchases for money at the opening of business
were soon counteracted by large speculative sales.
A fall of 10fr. was the result of the day ; all the
securities patronised by the Mobilier shared in the
depreciation. Route closed without variation.
There was scarcely any change in railway shares.

600th anniversary bee been just celebrated is Florence.
The municipality of Naples propose to change
ths name of Toledo-street into that of Linooloatreet.
The Royal Mail steamer Solent, which arrived at
at Southampton yesterday, left Madairs an the 10th inst.,
and expels:geed incessant rains during the whole of the
voyage from that island.
The bill of fare of the supper served at the
Paw» Mastapha to the Emperor Napoleon and other golate
