FRANCE.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING

A telegraphic despatch announces that the
Emperor and Empress arrived at Biarritz this
day, at five minutes to t,velve. They must thus
have travelled all night. It was said, however,
that, in order not to fatigue the little Imperial
Prince, they would stop on the way.
The Moiliteur announces that the complete
evacuation of Turkey, by the French troops, was
effected on Monday, the 18th ; the last detachment
of troops, and the general in command, sailed on
that day.
It has been stated in some telegraphic despatches
and newspapers, that the French and English are
to evacuate Greece by a given day in September,
but I can inform you, that though an early evacu-
ation be probable, no day for it has been fixed.
The attack of the Riff pirates on the Prussian
Prince and his crew, excites considerable interest
here, and accounts from Berlin say that, as was
natural, it has created tremendous sensation
there. It is very probable that England, France,
and Prussia, will combine in taking measures for
putting an end to the too-often repeated atrocities
of these pirates.
The Austrian government is trying all the means
in its power to bring the King of Naples to his
senses, that is to induce him to satisfy the demands
of the Western Powers. But his Majesty shows
no signs of yielding. If he should really persist in
his obstinacy, England and France must necessar-
ily come to a rupture with him ;—indeed, they
would have done so before this if it had not been

from regard for Austria.
• Gen. Todleben, the Sebastopol hero, is now en-
gaged in visiting the principal fortresses of Germany,
and he is to come to France also to visit the
fortresses she possesses. The consequence will
be that on his return home he will make those of
his own country infinitely more formidable than

they are.
It turns out, from a Warsaw letter, that the
telegraphic announcement the other day, that
Russia has diminished the seventies of her
passport system is unfounded. That system is
kept up with all the ancient rigour.

The naturalisation of the Imperial Prince as a
citizen of Biscay, which was accomplished under
curious circumstances immediately after O'Don-
nell's coup d'etat, is again upon the Lapis. Two
delegates have been sent from the Basque provinces
to present the letters of naturalisation to the
Emperor on behalf of the infant prince. This
document is written on parchment, ornamented
with a border in which the colours of France and
Spain are blended. At the foot of the patent are
seen, in one corner, the great seal of Biscay, and,
on the other, a copy of the resolution voted by the
junta on the 17th of July. The names of the
delegates are MM. Leguerrica and Calle, and it is
said that the fact of one of these gentlemen being
a Progressist and the other a Conservative, proves
that the compliment paid to the heir to the French
throne was not prompted by party feeling of

any kind.
It is quite certain that the French and English
diplomatists are not pulling well together just uow
either as regards Spain, Italy, or Russia. The
government journals are instructed to make them-
selves the advocates, as far as they can, without too
ostentatious a display of zeal, of Austria, Russia,
O'Donnell, and even the much vituperated King
Bomba. The Constitutionnel takes the advantage
of the announcement in the Moniteur that the
French troops have evacuated Constantinople, to
say, " This note sufficiently answers all the uneasy
suggestions which a portion of the French and
foreign press have made respecting the execution
of the treaty of March 30. Russia will be no less
scrupulous than the Western Powers in executing
the engagements entered into ; and whatever
difficulties may have arisen, owing either to delay

in the transmission of advices or misunderstanding
of them when received, these difficulties are not of
a nature to cause the least bad feeling between the
contracting parties."
The Patrie speaks entirely in the same sense.
It thinks that a " great deal too much noise" has
been made about Russia's hesitation in executing
the treaty. It seems, however, to see the difficul
ties that have arisen in a somewhat more serious

light than the Constitutionnel does. It admits that
Russia makes a stand about Bolgrad, but it pleads
that the letter of the treaty is on Russia's side. If
Bolgrad were really omitted by mistake, which the
Patrie only faintly acknowledges, then indeed the
error ought to be put right. But the Patrie argues
that it must first be proved against Russia that the
general line of boundary intended cannot possibly be
traced in any other way than by excluding Bolgrad.
The treaty was concluded bona fide. the Patrie tells
us, and it pledges itself that it will be executed in
the same spirit, but to solve difficulties of detail,
the moderation and conciliatory disposition
shown by the members of the Congress must be
imitated.
At about three o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, a
strong body of sergens de ville occupied the whole
length of the quay on the right bank of the river,
from the Pont Neuf to the bridge opposite the
Hotel de Ville, and arrested a number of indi.
viduals between those two points. There is no
explanation of this extraordinary occurrence; but
I mention the fact from the report of an eye
witness.
