FRANCE.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The papers continue to notice the movements of
Ahd-el-Kader. On Sunday afternoon, at two o'clock,
Ahd-el-Bader, accompanied by General Dauma.,
Commandant Boissonnet, M. de Bellemare, and Sidi
Allah and Kara Mohammed, visited Prince Jerome
Bonaparte at the Luxembourg. The Emir, who was
most cordially received, told Prince Jerome that it
was a happiness for him to be able to embrace the
brother of the great Emperor. Baron Lacrosse, at
the request of Prince Jerome, showed the different
parts of the Palace to the Emir, and presented to him
the principal employes of the Senate, with whom he
shook hands. After leaving the Luxembourg, AM-
el-Bader went to the Hippodrome to see the perform-
ance, with which, and particularly the ascent of the
balloons, he seemed much gratified.
On leaving the church of the Madeleine, on Friday,
Abd-el-Kader went to the cathedral of Notre Dame.
He appeared much struck by the vast length of the
nave, and greatly admired the different paintings and
sculptures in the choir. He was afterwards taken
into the great vestry, in which are the rich relies of
the church, contained in shrines profusely ornamented
with gold, silver, and precious stones. Amongst other
things shown to him were the robes Napoleon wore
at his coronation, and a globe containing the portion
of the vertebral column in which the late Archbishop
Denis Affre received a ball at a barricade. Before leav-
ing the cathedral, he ascended to the top of the
towers, and was much struck by the immensity of
Paris. " One would say that it is a town of giants,"
he cried.
The Prase, speaking of Ahd-el-Bader, says :
" His sobriety is remarkable. He never eats animal
food, and his repasts consists principally of rice,
bread, milk, fruit, and vegetables. At the hotel
where he is staying, he sleeps in a bed of the ordinary
kind, but one of his companions who occupies the
same room has his bed on the ground, according to
the Eastern custom. His companions smoke a great
deal, but the religious rank of the Emir interdicts
for him the use of tobacco."
Delegates have arrived in Paris from Germany, for
the purpose of concluding a postal treaty between
France and the Austro•German union. M. Lowen-
thal represents Austria; M. Metzner, Prussia; Baron
De Bruch, Bavaria; Baron De Reitzerstein, Baden ;
and M. Muller, the administrator of the Prince De
Tour and Taxis.
The Presse, in its weekly commercial bulletin,
says:--

"The state of trade is still favourable. The manu-
facturers are busy, not only in executing existing orders,
but in speculating on a brilliant season. We have also
to notice one very favourable symptom. Commercial
bills now circulate more freely. The bankers being un-
able to place their capital at a high rate of interest, now
readily discount for houses whose paper they had before
rejected. The retail trade of Paris has exceeded for the
month of October, by at least one-fourth, the amount of
business done in the corresponding month of last year."

The Tribunal of Correctional Police on Saturday
condemned a wood-turner named Humbert, of the
Rue Beaubourg, to three months' imprisonment and
300 f. fine, for having used insulting language respect-
ing the Prince President. The Tribunal also con-
demned a M. Monllet, a naturallist, to six months'
imprisonment and ten thousand francs fine for having
had in his possession a copying press, without having
obained the permission of the Minister of Police.
Toe President before giving judgment said that the
defendant was represented by the police to be an
agent of secret societies.
A clandestine printing press, and several seditious
publications were seiztqi four days ago in the Rue de
la Roquette at Marseilles. On the same day a
Socialist was arrested i❑ a public-house for cry ing
"Vive la Rouge !" and for attempting to force other
people to cry the same thing.
The envoy of the King of Achem, who was re-
ceived by the President on Saturday, is of fine
stature, and has the complxion of an Abyssinian.
He presented the Prince with a handsome snuffbox,
the work, it is said of the Chinese, who are the only
people in Achem who work in the precious metals.
This box, which is well sculptured, appears to be an
imitation of a European production of the last cen-
tury, which having been seen by the Chinese he then
copied. The envoy gave the Prince President the
warmest assurances of the wish of his Sovereign to
keep up friendly relations with Prance. Although
the Dutch are established at Sumatra, a part of that
immense island has independent Princes. The terri-
tory of Achem occupies the western part of the
island.

A decree of the Prince President, dated the 24th,
fixes at 100,000 f. the salary of the Vice-President of
the Council of State, from Ist August last.
We understand (says Gali gnani) that a gentleman,
representing Mr. Marjoribanks and Sir Edward
Antrobus, two of the partners of the eminent bank-
ing firm of Messrs. Coutts and Co., of London, has
been in Paris for some weeks, negociating for the
purchase of the chateau and estate of Chantilly, and
that he has finally concluded the purchase on behalf
of those gentlemen.
A Paris correspondent of the Emancipation says :
" All uncertainty is now at an end as regards
the hereditary right. I can announce to you in the
most possitive way that in the event of a failure of
direct male issue of Louis Napoleon, the succession
of the ex-King Jerome, and after him of his son,
Napoleon Bonaparte, is recognised. Louis Napoleon,
however, reserves to himself the right of adoption
which was Fossessed by the Emperor Napoleon."
The Marseilles correspondent of the Morning
Herald, wrtit is as followes under date of the 29th ult.:—

" I have every reason for believing that the follow-
ing may be relied on.
" The election for the Emperor will take place on
the 20th of November, and the proclamation on the
2d of December.

"The title of the new Emperor will be ' Empereur
des Francais, LRoi d'Algerie, et Protecteur des Lieux
Saints.'
" It is more than probable that the son of Jerome
Bonaparte will be named Viceroy of Algeria.
" The clandestine press discovered a few days since
in our city, turns out to be a mystification.
" The weather continues most beautiful, and com-
merce very brisk.
" The Banshee left yesterday morning for Malta,
with 53 passengers, amongst whom were several
English noble families?'
Yesterday being the festival of All Saints, the Bourse
remained closed. A number of speculators assembled
on the Boulevards, but there was no business trans-
acted.
