(rrom the French Papers of Monday.)
A letter from Oran, dated 28th February, to the Toulonais,
has the following paragraph :—" It appears very evident from
the sending of cattle by Abd-el-Kader, through the medium
of Ben Durand, that the treaty of peace with the Emir is
nearly concluded. We hear also of negociations opened with
Achmet Ile Bey, of Constantine. The Arabs of the tribes
which are aware of the pacific intentions of their chiefs rejoice
at them ; our allies are alarmed for their future fate, not
knowing, the basis of the treaty.
" The Iphiyenia frigate arrived on the 18th from Toulon
with 504 troops, and sailed again immediately. The Jupiter
has brought 1,000 men of the Ist new., and sails again to-
morrow. The Cerbere steam-boat has brought 270 men ; we
expect also the 48th Regiment of the line, the 3d Battalion
of Light Infantry of Africa, the battalion of Tonurees, com-
manded by M. Rotoudreau.
" I mentioned that an entrenched camp was constructed at
Miserghin by two battalions of the 47th and two companies of
Enmors. This camp will be of a great extent, its sides
rest against old houses, which have been repaired and fortified.
Another camp is also being made 300 metres from the Mils
on Carrde. There is to be a black house there."
A letter from Bona, of the 7th March, says—." The For-
tune, Durance, and Caravane corvettes have arrived SUCCCF..
sively from Toulon with artillery, stores, and some troops.
These vessels are now landing their cargoes. There is such
a quantity of things, that we cannot tell where to put them.
The arrival of these vessels has restored confidence everywhere.
" Our accounts from Ghelma are very favourable. The
people of the neighbouring tribes bring Provisions in abun-
dance. It is a pity that Colonel Duvivier has not means to
lay up any quantity ; but there is no place in which they can
be deposited."—Muniteur.
The check experienced by Gen. Evans before flernani, is a
severe lesson, which we hope will not be lost, showing the
necessity of union between the Generals of Queen Christina,
an union without which victories would be useless, and defeats
irreparable. It is evident to every one who understands the
situation of the two hostile armies, that of the two Generals who
were to second the movement of Evans, one at least ( Saars-
field) has not done his duty. After having advanced, he suf-
fered himself to be stopped by some difficulties—by a few
inches of snow on the road—and allowed ten battalions of the
Infant Don Sebastian to fall on Evans, who was unable to con-
tend with forces too superior in number.— Constitutionnd
The Journal des Debats announces that a grand fete will
take place at Versailles, for the opening of the Historical
Museum, on the 26th of April, the birth-day of Queen
Amelia. The King, accompanied by his family, is to do the
honours of his palace and of its magnificent galleries, to the
Chambers of Peers and Deputies, and to the numerous repre-
sentatives of the principal bodies of the State, who are to be
specially invited to that solemnity. After visiting the Museum,
the King's guests, amounting to between 1,100 and 1,200, are
to sit down to a banquet in the gallery of Louis XIV. In the
evening there is to be a grand representation in the theatre of
the Palace, now fitting out for the purpose. The performance
will begin by an overture of Gluck. The actors of the
Theatre Francais will next play the Misantrope, dressed in
the costumes of the time of Louis XIV. After the comedy,
the fifth act of Robert le Diable will be performed by the first
artists of the Opera, and the spectacle will end with a new
ballet in two acts, in which Mademoiselle Taglioni will dance
for the last time before the French public. Between the two
acts of the ballet the different national airs of France, from
Vice Henry IV. down to the Marseillaise and Parisienne,
will be sung by Nourrit, assisted by an immense chorus of
male and female voices.

The Journal des Debats assures the public that the ex-
penses of this feast, as well as the costs of the establishment of
the gallery, arc to be defrayed by the civil list.
The Moseum is to be opened to the public on the Ist of May.
A supplement to the Sentinelle des Pyrenees of the 16th ina.
gives the following details respecting. the late movement of
the forces under General Evans :—" Despatches which have
arrived this afternoon from St. Jean-de-Luz state, that yest, r-
day morning the Anglo-Christino column, commanded by Ge-
neral Evans, attacked the redoubt of Oriamendv, close to
Hernani, which, after an engagement of some hours, was
carried by the Christinos. This position once occupied, all
attention was directed towards flernani, which, we arc assured,
was taken at 7 o'clock in the evening of the same day. The
capture of flernani had cost the English about pp men killed,
and from %WO to tiOu wounded. This news was brought to
St. Jean de Luz by the Salamander steam-boat from St. Se-
bastian. From 6 o'clock this morning to 4 this afternoon, a
heavy firing has been heard here, which would appear to indi-
cate another action. Doring the action of the 10th, Don
Carlos placed himsel on the height of Santa Barbara, whence`gamhe could distinguish the movements of both perties." ilhde Is) uubnlioshitetele,blsy,oll.l UIIII2D,
