Prince LEOPOLD had the honour of being
entertained at dinner on Monday last by the
King of FRANCE ;.on which occasion the Duke
and Duchess of ORLEANS, and the Duke de
CHARTRES, were invited to meet his Royal

Highness.
The King and Queen of NAPLES are ex-
pected at Bayonne on the 26th instant ; and it is
stated in the Notizie del Giorno of Rome, that
the Prince of SALERNO had left that city for
Paris, in order to meet the KING, his brother,
on the arrival of their Neapolitan Majesties in the
French capital. It is stated also in the Italian
Journals, on the authority of letters from Wid-
din, that the GRAND SEIGNIOR had sent an
Ambassador Extraordinary to London on a

special mission.
The French expedition against Algiers con-

tinues to engross the attention of the French
public ; and its progress will doubtless be
watched with interest by all the great Powers of
Europe ; but while the people of France attach
a high degree of importance to the fate of the
expedition, it is rather in consideration of the
bearing it is supposed to have on the stability of
the Government, than from anything like na-

tional enthusiasm in the issue. The following
are extracts from the Paris Papers of Tuesday
and Wednesday :
(From the Gazette de France of Wednesday.)
The Minister of War is to set off on the 14th or 15th of
the present month for Toulon, where he will take the
command of the army destined against Algiers.
We received the following letter yesterday. We are
sorry that we have delayed publishing it till to-day :
" MARSEILLES, APRIL 6.

" This afternoon the 'Change was very quiet, as usual :
no remarkable transactions have taken place ; but towards
the close of the 'Change the report was spread that a vessel
had arrived from Monestier, near Tunis, with news of the
surrender of Tripoli to the son of the Pacha of Egypt. If
the fact be true, it is a most important event for our com-
merce; and on all sides one could hear nothing but the
following questions :—.' Has lie been excited to it by
France or England ? Or has the young conqueror fired
before the signal ? For our army will not be ready before
the 10th of May."
This piece of news is not guaranteed, but yet is
believed, in consequence of the last letters from Alexandria,
which all announced that the Pacha was making very
cotsiderable military preparations in his fleet.
It appears that at Tunis, as well as at Algiers, the
great movements at Toulon are no secret. The Europeans
are struck with a panic on all the coast of Africa, and ask
if then ought not to fly the vengeance of the Moors.
We looked this morning with great eagerness for the

confirmation of this news in the Sbnaphore, and we And
iu it the following paragraph :
" It was reported to-day at the Exchange, that the
Pacha of Egypt had entered, as a conqueror, into the re-
geney
of Tripoli. He is- reported to have already taken
possession of two towns."
The Precurseur states the following, from a letter
from Marseilles of the 6th :—" A vessel arrived this even-
ing announces that Ibrahim Pacha had landed near Tripoli,
and that he is already master of two forts. Thus our
Arabian allies have forestalled us in the African expedition.
It is said that an embargo has been laid at Alexandria
upon all vessels, which accounts for our not having bad
any arrivals for some time."
The postscriptum of another letter says---" Letters
from Tunis, and the statements of a Sardinian Captain,
announce that Ibrahim, son of the Pacha of Egypt, who
had lei; Alexandria at the head of an army, had arrived at
Bagray, and iatended continuing his march upon Tripoli,
which he wishes to take possession of."
Such are the statements that we have been able to
collect. We shall, no doubt, shortly receive others. We
ought to add, that a Sardinian vessel, Our Lady of
Mercy, Captain Castellano, arrived on the 6th at Mar-
seilles, from Moneetier ; but she has been put into qua-
rantine, which explains the want of certainty respecting
the news said to have been brought by this vessel.—
