FRANCE.

Ti .e Minister of 'War gave a grand breakfast on
Monday to the Arab chiFf3, and a large number of
generals and other officers who have served in Al-
geria. After breakfast, the chiefs were invited to enter
the drawing-rooms, where several magnificent presents
in arms, &c., were offered to them by the Minister. The
Minister at the same time encouraged them to perse -
vere in the fidelity which they had hitherto manifested
towards France. " You must have perceived,"
added he, " during your short stay in Paris,
the extent of our strength ; and, on your•
return, you can tell your countrymen that if France
knows how to recompence with munificence her
faithful servants, she is powerful enough to chas-
tise her enemies." Si Tahar, one of the chiefs.
replied in the name of the deputation, saying—" We
will carry lk with us au ineffaceable remem-
brance of the grandeur of France and of the kind
reception which we have received from the Govern-

meet and the population. Reckon us amongst
your most faithful suljects, ready to take up
arms for our common interest., wherever you may
meet with enemies." The Minister then conducted
the chiefs to the E1y,62, where the Prince President
gave them an audience of leave. On their being
airnitttd, the Prince expressed how much he had
been pleased to see them take part in the late
military files, and said that his desire was to be
able one day to return the visit which they now
made to France. lie recommended them to profit
by the benefits of the peace which existed, and
then added : " I reckon you amongst my soldiers,
and I have shown that I do so, by placing you in
the midst of them." The Prince then presented to
each a rich present, the Agile Mahomed-bel-Hadri
preferring to everything that could be offered him a
portrait of the Prince. The President also distributed
tOmongst them three decorations, one to the son of Gen.
Ben Ismael, killed in the French service ; a second to
his nephew, El Mezary ; and the third, to the Agha
of the Beni Ameur. The Prince also presented
Colonel Darner', under whose care the Chiefs have
been placed is Paris, with a superb carbine. The
Arab deputation is to leave Paris this day.
The Prefect of the Seine gave a grand banquet on
Friday to the principal officers of the army of
Paris. M. Berger had on his right General de St.

At these last words all the guests rose, and drank
the toast with great enthusiesni. General de st.
Arnaud returned thanks. He said
Thanks, Gentlemen, in the name of the army, for
your cordial reception; honour to the city of Paris, one
of whose chadren lam proud to be. And in this mo-
ment, when truthful sentiments are so well understood,
permit me to unite in a single toast three thoughts which
are intimately connected together, and which ought
never to be separated in our minds—To Prince Louis
Napoleon!—To the glory and grandeur of France!—To
the prosperity of the City of Paris!"—(lmmense applause.)
In the evening, a concert was given in the beautiful
apartment of the Prefect; a great number of officers
of the army and national guard, not at the dinner,
and the delegates who had come to Paris for the dis-
tribution of the eagles, being present. The company
separated about one in the morning, delighted with
the evening's entertainment.
Tae trial of M. de Jarente for the murder of his
wife in a fit of jealousy, at the Hotel de Paris, was
terminated at a late hour on Sourday evening. The
jury condemned him to hard labour at the hulks for life.
The circumstances of this assassination are probably
fresh in the recollection of our readers. Madame _de
Jarente was a beautiful woman, occupying a distin-
guished position in French society; in consequence
of her husband's jealously, she had been compelled to
leave home, and take refuge at the Hotel de Paris.
Thither she was followed by her implacable husband,
who deliberately shot her, on finding that a gentle-
