The unexpected event announced in oar Paris cor-
respondences yesterday of the arrival of Ahd-el-Kader
at Toulon engrosses a large space in the Paris jour-
nals of yesterday (Monday). A variety of interesting
circumstances respecting that important personage
which took place previous to and which led to his
throwing himself on the protection of a nation againat
which he waged a war so protracted, so obstinate,
and so sanguinary are mentioned. We select the fol-
lowing from a mass of matter too prolix to interest
the British public :
When Abd.el•Kader reached Nemsurs (Djemma Ohs,
zaout), where the Duke d'Aumale had arrived in the morn-
ho appeared cast down and worn out with fatigue.
Has demeanour and his language in presence of the Governer-
General were marked with respect and with the resignation
which the hlusoulmau religion teaches to its members. The
deira remains encamped • few leagues from Nemours.
It is crowded with wounded who are attended by our
surgeons with their usual devotedness. It consists still of
from 5,000 to 6,000 persons. The regular cavalry eft r.•
returning in small parties; about 150 were encamped at
Nemours."— The Tottionnois of the 30 h ult. says:—
" Before guittiag for ever the soil of Africa, and in the
midst of the great emotions which must have agitated his
mind, the Emir wrote to the Duke d'Aumale a letter of
thanks for all the attentions which he had received from
him on the war from Nemours to Oran. This is not the
only proof that he has given of his respect for the prince
since his captivity, for he had already made him a pre-
snt of his famous black mare, which has been so often
spoken of in the recital of some of the episodes of the
adventurous life of the ex-Emir. Abd-el-Kader is of
middle height; his countenance is mild; his complexion
has not the perfect purity of that of Arabs of distinction;
his face is marked with what appear to be traces of
small-pox. He has in the middle of his forehead a
slight mark of tattooing. His beard is very black, slid
not thick. His dress is of a simplicity which is not
perhaps free from affeitation. The voyage of the Asmodee
was a very rough one ; nearly all di- Arab passenger were
sea-sick, and And-el-Kader was PO affected by the motion of
the ship that he scarcely loft his cabin during the voyage.
He only appeared on the deck of the frigate for an hour, on
the day alter oho left Oran. Col. de Beaufort, who leaves this
evening fur r.tris. will probably only return to Toulon to
accompany Abl-el-Kader to Paris er any other town in
France which may be fixed upon for his residence, for we
do not think that the ministry will at once accede to the desire
expressed by the Emir to go and finish his days in • Musaulteen
country. In the suite ef the emir there are many women
land children. Amongst the pevonagis of distinction who
accompany hint areoue of his brothers.in-law, Kadji•Musta-
phrsen•Taroi, who was charged to execute the barhsroa•
order ei massacre the prisoner* made at Sidi-Brahmin ; his
kalifa, Kaddom-Ben-Allal. brother of Sidi-Embarack, and
the age of his regular troops, Mahmoud-lien-el-Kour. lie
has also brought with him his mother, his three wives, and
two son., the eldest of whom, Mahmoud•Ben-AMlel Kader,
• child of a very interesting countenance, is about eight years
old.
The Marquis de Beaufort, Aid-de-Camp of the Duke
of Nemoura, who accompanied Abd-el-Kader from
Oran, arrived in Paris on Saturday. He was received
at the Tuilleries, where (says the .Tnernal des Delbatn)
ho presented to the King the pistol of the celebrated
chief. Tim sabre of Abd-el.lKader, which was pre-
&ited to General Lamoriciiite by the Duke d'Aumale,
was also brought by the Marquis de Beaufort, and
delivered to Madame Lamoriciere.
'l'hc effect of the news of the surrender of Ab-del-
Kader on the money transactions in the Passage de
l'Opera, has been very trifling. The Threes rose
about a tenth per cent., at which they continued
without further increase on Sunday.
The opponents of the government affirm that the
surrender of Ab-del-Kader to the Duke d'Aumale had
been for soma time secretly arranged,but war delayed
until the moment at which, by a coup-tie-theatre, ►t
could be made best to tell in a paragraph of the royal
epeech. Some hitch in the stage mechanism pro-
crastinated by two days the entrance of the Arab
chief, and so the effect was lost. This was truly
French.
La I'atrie• says that Ab-del-Kader with his family
and suite surrendered to the Duke d'Aumale on the
condition of being seat to Alexandria or St. Jean
d'Acre. It is, however, understood that this cele-
brated chieftain with his suite will be invited to visit
Paris before hie departure for Egypt or Syria.
A Cabinet Council was held at the Hotel des
Affaires Etrangeires on Sunday afternoon.
No receptions take place at present at the Tuilleries.
The religious services connected with the obsequies will
take place at Paris on Wednesday, and at Dreux on
Thursday, where the remains will be deposited in the
burial place of the royal family.
The King and Queen of the Belgians were expected
in Paris.
MM. lupin and Odilon Barrot a-e the executors
of the will of the late Princess Adelaide.
Since writing the above we learn that Ab-del-
Kader and his family are expected hourly in Paris.
The will of Madame Adeluide has been variously
and erroneously represented in the journals. The
following particulars may, we believe, be taken a•
correct :
The total annual income left amounts to 70,000/. ster-
ling, representing a capital of nearly two millions and
ahalf. Of this sum, tO,OOO/. is left to the Duke de
Chartres+, second eon of the late Duke of Orleans;
4(10,0001. to the Duke of Nemours ; 40,000/. in smalicr
legacies ; and the remainder, amounting to something
less than two millious, in equal shares between the
Prince de Joinvillo and the Duke of Montpensier.

The Madrid mails of the 21ith and 27th have
arrived. The Moderado partisans give out that the '
only cause of the recent modification of the Cabinet
has been the bad health of M. Orlando. M. Roca de
Togorea, who has entered the Cabinet, was the for-
mer colleague of the Duke of Sotomayor and
M. Bravo Murillo. Tito Progresists, hew-
ever, ridicule this, and affirm that it is appa-
rent that there is a split in the Cabinet. Nar-
vacz and Mon are opposed to each other. Mon has a
majority of the cabinet with him, and the influence of
the Queen Mother at his back. Hence Narvaez has
been reduced to the mere presidency without a port-
folio. Ile is the gilt chair of the ministry, and nothing
else. According to the progresists, he will be
thrust out altogether on the first convenient opportu-
nity. Mon and Pidal representing the extreme opi-
nions of the moderados, and the devoted servants of
Christina will come in, arbitrary power will gain the
ascendant, and all reform, amnesty, and progress will
be at an end.
There was no Bourse on the 25th or 26th.
A report was generally circulated and credited on
the 27th, that Narvaez had resigned. It was not,
however, confirmed on the 27th, but a crisis was still
expected. General Cordova was appointed inspector
of infantry in place of General Figucras, called to the
ministry of war,
The general impression was that nothing would be
done in the impeachment of the ex-ministers. In
fact, it seemed probable that another movement of the
sliders of the political phantasmagoria would be
made, and the figures on the canvas changed, before
any thing could be seriously effected in that matter.
On the 23rd December, at eight o'clock in the morn-
ing, the Austrians vacated all the posts in the city of
Ferrara and withdrew into the citadel and the bar-
! racks of St. Domenico and St. Benedetto. Thus the
status p in Ferrara is re-established.

Letters from Parma continue to announce the mili-
tary preparations against the contingency of a popular
movement. The fortress was strongly garrisoned,
and a squadron of Hungarian cavalry waa stationed
in the town. The funeral of the late Arch-Duchess
was appointed for the 23rd. A faint hope was en-
tertained that the new sovereign would yield to the
dominant idea of the age, and grant some popular
reforms.

A letter from Leghorn, dated the 20th ult., says
that that city is in a state of the greatest agitation ;
that the Tuscan governmeht has resolved on calling
out 5,000 men of the reserve; that the artillery in
Leghorn is about to be augmented, and that it was
expected that battalions of volunteers would be im-
mediately organised and armed-

Letters from Milan, quoted by the Journal de
Frankfort say, that the Swiss Sundcrbond refugees,
including General Sails Soglio, are in a state of
great personal distress there. It is not true, as was
announced, that they have been received into the
Austrian service. They have applied for that pur-
pose, but have been refused, They were obligd to
sell their horses to obtain means of living.
Letters from Tilsit announce that the cholera has
in Prussia.
