The official aunoanc
Duke d'Aumale to the

it of the nomination of the
--.•*lship of Algeria

has given renewed lo'rce, say our Peri; letters of
Saturday, to the reclamations against such an ap-
pointment in a constitutional point of view. It is
contended that the functions of the governor of an
important colony so distant, and involving adminis-
trative duties of the highest order, imply a responsi-
bility which cannot practically be attached to a per-
sonage so near the throne as the Duke d'Aumale. To
the personal qualities of the prince justice is done on
all hands. The objection is purely one of principle.
The councils•general of the eighty-six departments
are holding their customary session. The agitation
for parliamentary reforms has in many instances
found expression in these bodies. This has excited
the wrath of the government, and the Journal des
111 bats attacks them for exceeding in this their pro-
per and legitimate functions.
General Sebastiani, uncle of the late Duchess of
Praalin, has left Paris for the Camp at Compit4ne.
The Persian ambassador and his suite have arrived,
and are lodged for the present in the Hotel do Rhin,
Place Vendome.
The two Neapolitan refures, M.M. Poerio and
Del Re, whose arrival at Toulon we have already
mentioned, have published a letter in the French
papers explaining the circumstances of their retire-
ment from their country, the substance of which is
this

Some time since; several thousand copies of a writing, en•
titled " Protest of the People of the Two Sicilies," wee
ciliated at Naples. This document demanded from the go-
vernment venous reforms, of which the Pope had taken the
initiative. The government, instead of taking the ideas thus
set forth into consideration, thought only of proceeding
against the author. Ile contrived to escape to Malta, where
he remains in perfect cifety, but on the simple suspicion that
MM. Petri° and Del R it, might be participators iu a fact
which they positively deny, a prosecution was commenced
against them, and an attempt wee made to arrest them. The
English and American ministers offered to facilitate their
escape to either England or the United States, bat they pre-
ferred placing themselves under the protection of France.
M. Eynard, the well-known Philhellene, has pub-
lished a long statement in the Paris journals respect-
ing his communications on the subject of the Greek
loan with Lord Palmerston, Lord Normanby, and M.
Coletti, the gist of all which seems to be that M.
Eynard has given Lords Palmerston and Normanby
a lecture on moderation towards Greece, and M.
Coletti one on honesty, punctuality, and economy, and
that he is ready to piy 20,000/., which he had pro-
mised to the English government, whenever a draft
for that sum may be presented to his bankers.
According to the Gazette de France it has been
decided in one of the late cabinet councils to form an
army of observation at the foot of the Pyrenees. It
was the wish of the King that the force to be assem-
bled there should not be less than 80,000 men. It
was, however, decided to limit it to 40,000.
A letter from Algiers in the Progres of Rennes
contains the following :
It appears certain that the move made by Abd-el-Rader
is more serious than was generally believed. Abd-el-E oder
was received with acclamation in Taft, and has left the
mountain district, within the circle of which he has hitherto
remained. To have done this ho must have been assured
of finding the people in his favour, and of not meeting with
any resistance from the troops of Abilerrabman. It it re-
ported here that General Bedftu wrote to the government
in terms se alarming, that it has sent him authority to de-
tain with him three regiments that were to leave Algeria
on the arrival of others sent to relieve th"m. This will
increase the troops in Africa by 1,000 or 5,000 men, and it
Is said that the government will not stop at this point. The
Emperor Abderrahman has applied to France for assistance.
The National says it is informed that Lord Nor-
manby had sent to M. Guizot, on Friday, a note from
the English government, relative to the affairs of
Italy, in which it is declared that England cannot, as
a constitutional power of the first order, suffer any
intervention by Austria with the independent states
of Italy.
The same journal gives the following :
By on ordonnance, signed at the Tuileries, but without
date, Lient-Gen. Reilhe, son-in-law of Massena, is named
I Marshal of France ; the same dignity is accorded to General
Dade de la Brunerie, of the Engineers ; the latter fills the
place left vacant by the death of Grouchy, and the former
that by the death of Reggio. Another ordonnance appoints
General Changarnier to the command of the distal in of
Algiers, replacing General de Bar, who is to take the com-
mand at Nantes. It is agreed by the ministers that Mantua
Soult shall take the command at tho lovalides, in order to
yield the presidency of the council to M. Guizot. Marshal
