FRANCE,

PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING.
The following private telegraphic despatches have
been received to-day :
" MARSEILLES, 6th.—Accounts from Alexandria of
the 28th ult. state that the Viceroy had returned from
his expedition against the Bedouins, who had made their
submission. Accounts from Tripoli of the 26th ult.
state that the remnants of the Turkish troops had re-
turned there without their arms. The Arab,: remain
masters of all the country, except the capital, which has
sent to demand the protection of the Allies of the Sultan.
The English Consul-General at Tunis is d,-ad. The
Persian Government, at the instigation of Russia, has
suppressed the Protestant schools. Twenty-five fresh
shocks of earthquake have been felt at Broussl. Abd-el-
Kader is ill." _

"ST. PETERSBURG, 7th.—Prince Gortseha.koff writes,
under date of the evening of the 2d Nothing of im-
portance going on. The vigour of our fire prevents the
works of the enemy from advancing. The fire of the
enemy is weaker.' "
" MADRID, 6th.—The reorganisation of the national
guard at Barcelona has bean effected without disturb-
ance. The floating debt on the Ist inst. amounted to
605 millions. The cholera is stationary."

Prince Napoleon continues his visits to the diffe-
rent branches of the Exhibition, that of yesterday
being devoted to machinery, such as steam-engines,
all of which were examined by his Imperial High-
ness with great attention. One engine for a screw
steamer, sent from Sweden, in particular attracted
his attention. It is so constructed that it may be
worked either in the hold or on deck, and is per-
haps, of all the machines exhibited, that which
shows the most material innovations on previously
existing systems. A hydraulic press for proving
chain cables was also particularly noticed, and the
immense power of the apparatus was tested before
the Prince by its breaking in two a piece of wood
about a foot square. Several English steam engines
and other machinery drew forth terms of the
warmest approbation from the Prince.
By decision of the Minister of Finance the in-
terest on treasury bonds is from this (12,y fixed as
follows :—At 3!I per cent. per annum for those of
from 3 to 5 months date ; 4 per cent., from 6 to 11
months ; and at 411 per cent. for those at 12 mouths.
I The Minister of War acknowledges in the Atoni-
' tenr the receipt of a lettter from M. Kcenigswater,
deputy of the Seine, enclosing a sum of 2,500 f., of
which he requests that 1,500 f. shall be devoted to
the fathilies of the killed in the army of the East,
and I,ooof. to the donation fund of the army. The
writer expresses his admiration at the decision of
the Emperor with regard to the appropriation of
the money usually devoted to the fete of the 15th,
and adds a hope that his offering will be followed
by many other similar acts.
The Constitutionnel publishes two letters, one
from the Duke de Levis, and the other from M.
Chapot, in reference to the curious report to the
Count de Montemolin, which it published on Sun-
day, relative to the endeavours of the Carlists to
get up an insurrection in Spain. The Duke's
name was inserted in the report as the " Duke de
L—s," but M. Chapot's was specifically mentioned,
and in terms of praise, as a clear-headed person.
The Constitutionnel, in publishing the subjoined
letters, makes the following obie2vation only, the
part in italics being its own :—" We hasten to in-
sert the following letters', and, in doing so, we con-
fine ourselves to observing that the document to
which they refer, and of which we gave an exact
translation, is from beginning to end in the hand-
writing of General _Elio, and wss seized with his
other papers on June, 1855. The letter of the
Duke de Levis runs thus :

"Noiiel, AuguFt 5.

"Monsieur le Redacteur—l havejust had communicated
to me an article in your journal, in which, although my
name is not positively mentioned, yet I am so clearly indi-
cated in it, that I cannot refrain from repelling an insinua-
tion to which existing circurnst.inces give all the charac-
ter of a calumny. I do not know, and I have never seen
Prince Gortschakoff, and I have never been in
relation or in correspondence with him. I rely on your
impartiality to insert this letter, and beg you to accept
the assurance of my consideration.

" DUKE DE LEVIS."
The following is the letter from M. Chapot :
_ "Paris, August 5.
_ _ _

" Monsieur le Midacteur—l have just read in your
paper an extract from a correspondence which you say
was seized on the person of one of the most faithful
Generals of the Count de Montemolin, in which I am
made to be present at the account given by the Count
d'Esears of his conversation with Prince Gortschakoff
on the subject of the affairs of Spain. I formally deny
the participation attributed to me in that conference ;
the conversation reported by you never took place in
my presence. You will certainly regret, Monsieur le
Ridaeteur, having founded, on erroneous information,
the insulting insinuation which terminates your article,
and against which you oblige me to protest. When the
flag of Franca is engaged on fields of battle, my wishes
and those of my friends can only be with it. B 3 kind
enough to insert this letter, and accept, Stc.,_
"F. CEIAPOT."
