CLAUSEL :--•

" Government will shortly present to the Chambers a defi-
nitive plan for the occupation of the Regency of Algiers. The
Chambers will have to appreciate the ideas and the measures
that may he proposed to them. Certain modifications having
been adopted in the system hitherto followed, the replacing, of
the Governor charged to carry that system into execution be-
comes an act easy to be explained. By some the Government
is reproached with having acted too hastily ; by others, with
having been dilatory in its measures. Again, it has been urged
that the whole afriir should have been submitted to the Cham-
bers, and that Government should have waited till Marshal
Clauscd had explained himself before the Legislature. Go-
vernment has proved its anxiety to acquire all possible informa-
tion on the subject of the late disastrous expedition to Constan-
tine, and after such information had been 'acquired, and the
necessities of the case maturely weighed, General Damremont
was appointed to the command in Africa in place of Marshal
Clausel."

It is impossible to convey to the world in language less
offensive to the friends of Marshal CLAUSEL the fact
of his dismissal. The Government organs endeavour
to have it believed that the KING was opposed to the
appointment of General DANIREMONT in the room of
his very dear friend the Marshal, but that his MA.
JE:TY was outvoted in the 'Council. This is sheer
humbug. Had the KING not resolved upon CLAU-

SECS disgrace, it would have been in vain for GUIZOT
to propose his removal from the Vice-Regal dignity in
Algiers.
The Moniteur of Saturday contains the following
deplorable intelligence from Africa :--
• . " TELEGRAPHIC; DESPATCHES.
" TOULON, FEB. 14.

" TIIE MARITIME PREFECT TO THE MINISTER OF MARINE.

" I learn from Algiers that the Casba of Bona blew up on
the morning of the 30th ult. All the lodgements and a great
part of the fortifications of that citadel have, it is said, been
destroyed. Out of the 500 men of the garrison, 100 have pe-
rished, and 200 have been more or less dangerously wounded.
The loss is estimated at a million of francs.

" The city was little damaged, but several houses were
shaken.

" TOULON, FEn. 15, HALF-PAST 12 P.M.

" THE 'AIARITIME PREFECT TO TILE MINISTER OF WAR.

" General liapatel directs me to forward you the following
despatch :
" ALGIERS, FEB. 6.

" The powder-magazine of the Casba of Bona blew up on
the 30th, in the morning. The buildings of the fort have been
destroyed; 108 military men of all ranks have perished; 192
have been wounded.

" The magazine contained 6,99,9 kilogrammes of gunpowder,
1,000,000 of musket cartridges, &c. •
" The necessary measures have been taken in Bona and Al-
giers to prevent any unpleasant consequences accruing from
this disaster. Tranquillity prevailed in the city and province
of Bona.
" A true copy,
" The administrator of the telegraphical line,
" ALPHONSE FOY."

The first effect of this dreadful accident will be to
delay for several weeks longer the expedition against
Constantine. The fortifications of Bona were ex-
ceedingly strong, and of course they will all be rebuilt
before the French army attempt new conquests.
The Chambers of Peers and Deputies sat on Sa-
turday. In the former Count MoLE presented the
Bill demanding a supplementary credit of 150,000
francs, to enable the Government to strengthen the
line of Customs on the Spanish frontier. M. GAs-
PARIN likewise brought up the Municipal Bill which
had, passed the Deputies. In the Second Chamber a
petition was presented from several influential Arabs,
inhabitants of Tlemcen, in the Regency of Algiers,
complaining of the arbitrary and cruel 'conduct of
Marshal CLAUSEL and the authorities under him,
and praying foi inquiry and redress. M. DUPIN
observed that the petition called for the most careful
investigation on the part of "the Chainber. It was re-
ferred to the Committee upon the African Supplemen-
tary Credit.
We are happy to learn, from the Journals, that the
influenza is fast disappearing in Paris. Very few were
attacked last week, and those not dangerously.

Brussels and German Papers have been received.
Advices from Baden of the 7th inst., notice the great
exertions made by the keepers of the Paris gambling-
houses, to obtain permission to establish themselves in
several parts of Germany by the commencement of
the next year, when they are to be suppressed in the
capital of France. The sums offered by them for
licenses are really enormous.
The Echo du Lunenburg complains in severe
terms of a decree addressed by the King of HOL-
LAND, as Grand Duke, to the inhabitants of that
city, forbidding them to recognise the validity of
any documents signed by Belgian functionaries.
This decree is most injuriots to the trade and
social comfort of the city, as Belgians are con-
stantly dealing and intermarrying with the citizens.
Unless WILLIAM of NASSAU be checked in his mad
career, he will strip the House of Orange of the duke-
dom of Lunenberg, as well as of the Kingdom of
Belgium.
The Grand Duke of BADEN has given orders for the
removal of the body of the ex-King of SWEDEN from
Switzerland to Carlsruhe.

The Bavarian Chambers were opened on the 11th
inst. atMunich by the KING in person. The follow-
ing is it copy of His MAJESTY'S speech from the
Throne :

"My beloved and faithful Estates of the kingdom,—l feel
myself impelled to, speak first of what is dearest to my heart—
the love of my people, of which I have at all times had the
most affecting,' proofs-; but, abovo all, during my absence in
Greece, and at my return they are engraved on my heart in in-
delible characters.

. " The long desired accession of Baden, Nassau, and Frank-
fort, to the German commercial leagues, will promote the in-
terest of Bavaria, which is the unceasing object of my care.
' " A happy event is the marriage of my dear son, the King
of. Greece, with the Princess Amelia, of Oldenburg ; his
choice is a pledge of his domestic happiness.
" The Bavarian Bank has commenced its operations. The
making of the canal which will unite the Danube with the
Maine, and consequently with the Rhine, is proceeding with
great activity ; but that this and the commercial league may
produce the advantages which may be expected, improvements
of the laws for the maintenance of credit are necessary, and
also for agriculture and manufactures. My ministers will lay
before you projects of law for this purpose ; also the accounts
of the last year and the budget for the fourth financial
period. .
" The state of the finances is flourishing ; but after the
great reductions in the taxes, amounting to four millions of
florins annually, this would not be the ease bad not several
branches of the revenue become more productive. We must
thank GOD that the cholera has visited but a few places in my
kingdom ; but on this occasion the excellent character of my
Bavarians was nobly manifested,
.. The good spirit which animated the last Diet will be
displayed also in the present assembly, which will be equally a
model for future ones. I reckon on the good will and attach-
inent of my beloved and faithful estates of this„kingdom."

New York papers to the 3d inst. inclusive, have

been received. General SANTA ANNA, President of
the Mexican Republic, was preparing to sail for Vera
Cruz the first favourable wind. The United States'
ship Pioneer, Lieutenant Tatnall commanding, had
been fitted out for his Excellency's accommodation.
The latest advices from Florida were favourab!e to the
arms of the Republic. The Indians were everywhere
flying before the American troops.
