CORSICA AND ALGIERS.

The Independance Beige publishes some details of
the contemplated tour of the Emperor and Empress
of the French, in Corsica and Algiers. The Muni-
cipal Council of Bastin will present an address to
the Emperor, suggesting that the voyage of their
Majesties, after their departure from Nice, should
commence at Bastia, the most important town in
Corsica. The naval escort of their Majesties will
anchor in the Bay of Ajaccio, while the Imperial
cart* traverses the island, remaining a few hours
at Corte, on the road to the chief town of the
department. The excursion will add two days to
the Emperor's visit to Corsica ; but the Council
represents that it would prove of material advan-
tage to the island if the Emperor would consent to
see himself what improvements it is desirable to
introduce into a country the progress of which is so I
much in arrear, compared with the civilisation of
the neighbouring continent. The time proposed for
the Emperor's tour in Algiers will, probably, also
be prolonged by five or six days. The Empress
will remain in the city, while the Emperor, accom-
panied by the Minister for Algeria and the Colonies,
will make an excursion by land to Oran, following
the great road that passes by Blidah, Milianah,
Orleanaville, Mostaganem, and Arsew. The Em-
peror will return to the city of Algiers by sea, make
another excursion to Constantine, and finally re-
embark at Bone for France.
