TALM Qttotldienne contains a flaming account of the
enthusiastic rapture with which Palma has been received on
his professional circuit. At one place, Bezieres, through
which he had intended to pass without stopping, a deputa-
tion of 300 inhabitants went out to meet hint, and beg that
he would perform in their town. %Viten he pleaded other en-
gagements, they eat the traces of his carriage, and bore him
along on their shoulders iu triumph to the tow mbouse, where
with gentle violence he was compelled to enter into an en-
gagement to act is few nights. Telma was much affected
with these marks of admiration and attachment. The editor
°film Quolidieurie compares this entry to the triumphal entries
inm Home made by Scipio and Talma returned
to Paris, and has obtained a fot might's respite before he re-
imminence& his labours before the public of the metropol:s.
AFRICAN EXPIDITION.—A letter from €ierra Leone
mentions the return to that place of the British scien-
tific expedition for exploring the interior of Africa.—
They were completely unsuccessful, having advanced
only about 150 miles into the interior, from Rio Nunez.
Their progress was there stopped by a chief of the
country, and after unavailing endeavours, for the
space of four mouths, to obtain liberty to proceed, they
abandoned the enterprise, and returned. Nearly all
the animals died. tieveral officers died, and, what is
remarkable, but one private, besides one drowned, of
about 200. aptain Campbell died two days after
their return to Rio Nunez, and was buried„ with ano-
ther officer, in the same spot where Major l'eddie, and
one of his oaken, were buried on their advance.
