FRANCE.

PARIS, MONDAY EVENING.
The
atl4o French Government has receivad despatches
I)ae, lancing that the Emperor of Morocco, who has
cess! for some time unwell, has regulated his suer-
ef tlll°P.ll' and has appointed his son, who is Governor
Dots Pror:nce of Tafilat, to be his heir. This_
to difi Inao is said to have very warlike ideas, And
It essentially from his father's policy.
Na4as mentiimed the other day that the Emperor
e°414(1 received an autograph letter from the

Bey of Tunis. Letters from that place now an-
nounce that the Bey, in orar to secure himself in
the possession of his dominions, has asked the
protection of France.

I understand that they are working, at the
Ministry of the Interior, at a prdect for the con.
version into Government securities at 4 per cent.
of the property of the hospitals and charitable com-
mittees (bureaux de bienfaisance), estimated at
1,000,000,000 f. _

The gunboat Fusee has turned up at Hong Kong,
but the corvette Durance is still missing.

News has come of the death of a Prince of Wur-
temberg, a cousin of the King's, but it is not sup-
posed that this will make a difference as regards
the approaching visit of the Emperors to Scutt-
Bard.

AUSIMA.

VIF NNA, SEPT. 18.

rot long since mention was made of .a pre-
valent report -that a aneeting was to take place
between the Emperors of Austria and Russia, and
positive information has now' reached me that
steps were not long since taken for bringing about
an interview between them. The . person who
mediated. was a member of the Royal Family of
Wurtemberg, and for a time it was believed that
his endeavours to effect a reconciliation between the
two potentates would be successful, but eventually
it was found that the-Court of Russia could not
resolve to let by-pones be bygones. The foregoing
information was acquired at a German source,
but that which is about to follow was received
from a person who is on extremely intimate terms
with the Russians residing in this city. -When
Baron Budberg,r, a shOrt time since, returned here
so suddenly from Warsaw, he was in such a vio-
lent hurry to see Count Buol that 'he drove direct
from the railway station to the Foreign-office.
My informant did not say that the Russian diplo-
matist had been-. convatisslOned to make arrange-
ments fizr a meeting between the Czar and the
Emperor .Francis Joseph, but he, gave, me to
understand that an annaherung (approximation)
I;etween the Russian and Austrian Courts
was by no means unlikely. The Emperor
Napoleon is endeavouring to establish a good
understanding between all the great Powers,
in order that they may be able to reduce their
enormous standing armies, but he will probably
find Austria less, docile than either Russia: or
Prussia. The reduction of. the army.would be a
very great relief to Austria, but she is jealous of the
continually increasing influence of the Emperor of
the French, and unwilling to recognise his claim to
be considered the director of the affairs of Europe.
A reconciliation between Russia and Austria is
more likely to be brought about by Prussia, or by
some other German Power, than by France. There
will be-great festivities at Stuttgard while the two
Emperors are there,-but as yet little more is settled
than that Balfe's opera, ~the Bohemian IGirl , is to be
given on the 27thinst. Fourteen battalions of the
line,lB squadrons of cavalry, -40 guns, and sundry
detachnients of Chaoseurs'and pioneers will parade,
before the King's illestrious guests, among whom-
will be the King of Bavaria, -the Grand Duke of
Baden, and several other. German Sovereigns. it has
repeatedly been stated in the Garman` papers that
Barons BourqUency and Budbergthe Frendli and
Russian Ministers at this Court—Will be at Stutt
gard on the 2.7. th" inst., but tin to the present
moment they have not received any instructions on
the subject., Count Buol is better, but it ".:st related
that his physicians insist on his going to Carlsbad
for two or three 'weeks.

M. Thouvenel and M. Boutenieff have hgd an
audience of the Sultan, who conversed with them
for .a considerable time. Their audience was to
announce the resumption of diplomatic relations,
and France and Russia being thus conciliated, we
do not hear a word about Prussia and Piedmont,
who follow quietly in the wake, and attract no par-
ticular attention. . .

As some of the. prisoners -at Scutari, about 30 in
number,-were being escoi ted recently to their work
by five cavas or guards, the convicts watched their
opportunity, made a sudden attack, disarmed their
keepers, bound them, and then took to their heels.
The police, however, obtained timely not'ce of
what htcl occurred, and by sending out patrols
without loss of time, the fugitives have been re-

CIRCASSIA,

ADEKOOM, ArGUST 14.

Our scouts lately brought.us certain intelligence
that the Russian train horses, with the cattle re.
served for the use of the troops,. were grazing out-
side Anapa. An attack was inwantly, prepared, and
the men-selected for the expedition got quite close
to Anapa without any mishap. Ht re, for the first
time; the Russians got a glimpse of them, and a
furious contest soon ensued. • Both sides hail
many killed and wounded, but we managed to
secure most of the horses, driving the cattle before
us, and we did it in the greatest order. Unfortu-
nately, whilst operating here, a Russian steamer
came up to Gelindjik in the night, landed
three - companies, and made a sudden rush
at the battery, which was not yet finished.
The garrison could not long defend itself
against such a superior force, and therefore
retrented behind the second wall.
•A reinforce-
ment happily arrived in time, so that the
Russians Were driven back; and, although
they actually held- the battery for a few hours,
they could only carry off a couple of guns.
Daring their retreat, :many of - their men fell,.
and many were wounded: Among the latter
was their commanding officer, but they could
not be pursued, being :covered by their steamer,
which kept up a constant fire on our-position. Our
own loss amounted -to 20 killed and 24 wounded.
This.makes the second Russian attack on this side,
so that Russia-has now broken the Treaty of Paris.

not withstanding the neutrality of the Black Sea, no

a few small Turkish sandals, which, of course,- will

American, French, or even Austrian merchantmen
would only come, the Russians would then be
forced to. draw in their horns. The Treaty of
Paris forbids all acts of hostility in the Black Sea.
