The following telegraphic dispatch was received in
Paris yesterday afternoon from Strasburg
‘• BTRASBURG, JULY 20, HALF-PAST 12.
44 The Prefect of the to the Minister of

Gr!i!rai Poree.

,6 The Prince P:esi-lent left the Prefecture at 10
o'clock, to proceed to Kohl, au f fiorn thence to Baden.
The Prir...ce was v,lth the Gracd Duchess DowDger
of Baden is the caleeke of the Prefect. He declined
taking any escAl, red forbade military honours to be
paid him. Although the hour of chparture had cot been
announced, a i tiaierons crowd remained stationed at the
Prefecture, and in the adjacent streets, waiting to present
bouquets of flowers to the Prince, and to acclaim him.
1‘ The pasuge from Strasburg to Kehl was effected
without accident, notwiihstanding the eagerness of the
multitude to get near the carriage. At eleven o'clock
precisely the Prince quitted Kehl in a special train. The
garrison of Kehl was under arms at the railroad station,
and paid bins the usual military honours."
There is reason to believe that the President will
not return to Paris before Thursday. Encouraged,
no doubt, by the reception he has met with, he is
anxious to make up for the loss occasioned by the wet
weather on his passing through the valley of the
Vosges. It is considered probable he will pass a night
at Luneville or at Nancy.
•• . _ _ _

A dispatch was subsequently received from Baden,
dated yesterday, at fifty minutes past two o'clock :
"We arrive at Baden favoured by magnificent wea-
ther. The visit of the President has been announced.
His arrival has prcduced the greatest emotion. Crowds
are assembled before the Palace cf the Grand Duchess,
where the Prince slighted."
The Parisian correspondent of the Times says—" I
may as well mention that an English gentleman, who
hasjust arrived from Strasburg, and who was present
when the President made his entry, and who wit-
nessed what passed, assures me that there is little or
nothing exaggerated in the accounts of the welcome
given to the President. The gentleman I refer to
declares he could not have imagined such enthu-
siasm as he saw displayed by the masses of the
population."
- - -

It is stated that the President has not abandoned
his intention of paying a visit to Algiers on the occa-
sion of his visit to the south in September. He is no
doubt anxious to set his foot on African soil. It is
not supposed he will go inland ; he will, perhaps,
content himself with visiting some parts of the coast,
and reviewing the army in Algiers. It is added that
he will be accompanied by General de St. Arnaud,
who will afterwards commence the usual expedition
in the Kabylia.

SERIOUS RIOT AT WELLINGBOROUGH—THE

WELLINGBOROUGH, JULY 20.--With.n

To a man they are, supporters of the policy of Cobden
and Sir Robert Peel. On Wednesday last the nomina-
tion of candidates took place at Kettering, and it was
expected of the great Whig families, in which the
county abounds, that they would sanction, and even
initiate, the candidature of some one who might rally
round him all the supporters of free-trade and liberal
government, and so cast Mr. Maunsell, whose boast it
is to have gained no new idea during the last twenty
years. The excitement was great, as it was learned
that the Spencers and Fitzwilliams were unprepared to
take any share in such a battle, and two independent
freeholders nominated on their own responsibility the
Hon. George Wentworth Fitzwiiliam, already returned
for Peterborough. A poll was demanded, to take place
on Monday, and it was thought that at least the electors
woulde have an opportunity of recording their pro-
!s ta against the principles of protection, which bad
usen so openly avowed by the old Members. As the
reusedfillof rrived it was announced that Mr. Filzwil-

two Protectionists must be returned. As, how-
