FRANCE

The Emperor, Empress, and Prince Imperial
arrived yesterday about one at the Palace of St,
Cloud.

The King and Queen of Portugal have brought
the Prince-Royal with them in their journey, and
are accompanied by a suite of about a dozen per-
sons. The King is now 26 years of age, and the
Queen 18. On arriving at the Paris terminus of
the Orleans railway they found Prince Poniatowski,
one of the Emperor's equerries, waiting to escort
them to the Tuileries. Their Majesties will at
present remain but a very few days in the French
capital.
THE FRENCH PROCUREUR-GENERAL.—M. Dupin,
Ithe_Procureur-General, has returned to Paris from
his estate of Graffigny, near Nevers, suffering from
an exceedingly severe attack of rheumatism.
The French Generals of Brigade Faye and Duval
have been placed on the reserved list by the law re-
lative to the limit of age in the army.
The following details relating to a murder com-
mitted in the neighbourhood of Paris are given
by the A foreigner of distinction, en-
joying a pension from the British Government,
but of French extraction, M. Thomas Lavergne,
ex-commissary and civil officer of the Mauritius,
has just been assassinated near Argenteuil. M.
Lavergne, who was returning to the Mauritius,
arrived 'from London at one o'clock on Thurs-
day morning, his intention being to embark at
Marseilles in the next packet. At the departure
of the train from London, M. Lavergne had
found, in the same carriage with himself, an
individual who cultivated his ,acquaintance during
the journey, and who came to visit him at his hotel
in Paris, at about 3 o'clock in the afternoon of the
day of their arrival. He was then seen to go out
with the stranger, and three hours after his corpse,
horribly mutilated, and completely denuded, was
found near the mills of Argenteuil. Although 78
-years old, M. Lavergne was endowed with great
muscular strength, and the struggle with his mur-
derer must have been terrible. He had received
three deep wounds in the throat, one of which had
nearly severed the head from the body ; his hand
was literally hacked to pieces, and many of his
fingers entirely cut off. An investigation has been
commenced."
