FRANCE.

PARIS, AUG. 10.
The Emperor left Plombieres this morning, and
went direct to the camp at Chalons.
Official intelligence reached here from Vera Cruz
states that, on the 14th July, the French retook
Urnpau. On the 23d July, the chief of guerillas,
Publita, was attacked by French cavalry, and
killed, together with a large number of his band.
Arteaga has been routed. It is stated that the
malcontents are now completely repulsed in the
South, and are incapacitated for a resumption of
the campaign for a long time to come. Regrete,
during his retreat, was deserted by half his soldiers.
A grand dinner was given by the Minister of
Public Instruction the day before yesterday, on the
occasion of the distribution of prizes at the Sor-
bonne. In addition to the,pupils who obtained the
principal honours, there were present Mgr. Darboy,
Archbishop of Paris, Savfet-Pacha, the Turkish
Ambassador, Abd-el-Kader, and a great number of
distinguished personages. In the evening there was
a numerous reception.
Count Walewski has returned to Paris from
Kissin gen.
Baron de Malaret, Minister of France at Florence,
has arrived in Paris on leave of absence.

The General Correspondence of Vienna says :
" The Austrian shipowners having on several occa-
sions expressed a desire to see, in the interests of com-
merce, the Austrian flag reappear in the waters of
the Levant, the Emperor Francis Joseph has or-
dered, on the proposal of the Ministry of Marine,
the sending of a squadron to the East. It will be
commanded by Rear-Admiral Tegetthoff, who has
received instructions to visit the archipelagoes of
Turkey and Greece and the coasts of Syria and
Egypt, as far as Alexandria. The Austrian lega-
tions at Constantinople and Athens have been
charged to inform the Ottoman and Hellenic Go-
vernments of the arrival of the squadron."
According to statistical returns there are in
Berlin 12,000 cellars inhabited, in 6,300 of which
different trades are carried on. The thirteenth part
of the population, or 46,000 persons, inhabit those
dens.

Official statistics show that the annual consump-
tion of Bordeaux wine in the different countries of
the Zollverein is 58,500,000 bottles, while the cus-
toms' returns prove that only 4,500,000 bottles are
imported. The native manufacture therefore fur-
nishes the remaining 54,000,000 bottles.
A telegraphic' despatch from St. Nazaire states
that the steamer France, belonging to the General
Transatlantic Company, arrived there last night at
ten o'clock. She left Vera Cruz on the 14th ult.,
Santiago on the 19th, and Martinique on the 26th.
She brings 600,000 piastres as freight and 130 pas-
sengers. _

The formal recognition of Prince Alfred of Eng-
land as heir to the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg took
place at the capital of that State on the 6th, being
the 21st anniversary of his royal highness's birth-
day.
The Vienna Gazette announces that the Empress
of Austria is in very good health in consequence of
her trial of the Kissengen waters, and that, accord-
ing to present arrangements, she is to be at Ischl
on the 12th inst.

The Courrier de Saigon of June 20 says The
native court has given judgment respecting the five
Chinese junks captured on the coast. One only
has been dismissed freely ; two have been set at
liberty after a confiscation of their guns, arms, and
ammunition, and the two remaining have
been declared lawful prizes and their crews
thrown into prison ; it is not yet known
what the Government will do with the
latter. The transportLa Creuse, Captain Lapierre,
anchored in the roadstead of Saigon on June 11.
This vessel left St. Nazaire on Feb. 26, and touched
at the Cape Verd Islands, Simon's Bay (Cape of
Good Hope), Reunion Island, and Singapore, ac-
complishing the passage in 104 days, including
stoppages.

The electoral operations for a deputy in the Aisne
have given the following results :—Voters, 29,622 ;
required majority, 14,812 ; M. Margaux obtained
12,319 votes ; M. de Tillancourt, 5,807 ; M. de
Montesquiou, 4,739 ; M. de Lostange, 1,417 ; M.
Waddington, 3,923 ; M. Levesque, 920 ; lost votes,
67. As no candidate obtained the requisite majority
another and definitive election will be proceeded to.
The Court of Assizes of the Seine yesterday tried
a cabinet maker named Lapierre, aged 28 on a charge
of having, at Charonne, on the 24th May last, wil-
fully wounded a man named Daubanton with intent
to murder. It appeared from the evidence that the
prisoner, a steady, industrious man, was married in
1849, and lived very happily with his wife until the
latter became acquainted with Daubanton, who
seduced her from her duties. The woman soon
afterwards left her husband, under the pretext that
she had obtained work for some days as seamstress in
a ladies' boarding-school, at too great a distance
for her to return at night. The husband, how-
ever, having ascertained that this story was false,
and that she was living with Daubanton at a low
lodging-house in the Rue due Centre, went to see
her, and heard from her own lips a confession of
her infidelity. In his rage at this discovery he
threatened to murder her if she did not immediately
write to Daubanton giving him a rendezvous behind
the church at Charonne. The husband lay in wait
near the spot, and when Daubanton came, he rushed
forward and stabbed him in the back with a chisel.
The prisoner was immediately arrested and commit-
ted for trial. Daubanton, who had quite recovered
from his wounds, gave evidence at the trial in a most
cynical manner, and was severely reprimanded by
the President for his shameful conduct throughout
the whole affair. The Avocat-General having said
that he had felt bound to institute the prosecution
for the purpose of showing that no man had a right
to do himself justice, but that he could not press for
a conviction, the jury without hesitation at once ac-
quitted the prisoner.

The Court of Appeal gave judgment to-day in
the Montmorency case. It confirmed the judgment
of the court below so far as that court declared
itself fs without jurisdiction to examine the validity of
the Emperor's decree conferring the title of Duke
de Montmorency upon Count Adalbert de Talley-
rand Poeirtoorndt.

taken upon himself to bear, and about which the
imperial decree was silent, the court had jurisdic-
tion, because that raised a separate question of pro-
perty. It has therefore referred the case for further
argument before the Court of First Instance with a
different set of judges. It will be a quaint result of
this litigation if, as seems probable, the new Duke
of Montmorency shall be prevented from bearing
the arms of the ancient noble house of which, by the
Emperor's will, he is now the representative. This
check to his pretensions is a tremendous triumph for
the Jockey Club and the Faubourg St. Germain.

(REUTER'S EXPRESS.)
(Per City of Washington.)
NEW YORK, July 29, Noon.

Latest advices from the South disclose a rather
unsatisfactory condition of affairs in that section.
Previous accounts of the destitution and ruin of the
regions wherein the principal scenes of the war were
enacted are fully corroborated, and the inhabitants
are said to be less favourably disposed towards the
National authorities than has been represented.
In the vicinity of large garrisons they are submis-
sive but morose ; while in regions not strongly
guarded they are becoming somewhat defiant,
and are by no means enthusiastic in their co-ope-
ration with the National authorities engaged
in the work of reconstruction. The loyalty
manifested does not appear to be of a very sincere
character, thousands taking the oath of allegiance
to secure to themselves the possession of their pro-
perty, making at the same time no secret of their
sympathy with the rebellion and their regret at its
failure. So far, however, as the action of the
Federal military authorities is concerned, no special
dissatisfaction is known to exist, and no serious
abuses of power are chronicled. A despatch, dated
Raleigh, N. C., July 24, to the Associated Press,
states that fresh disclosures are being made of the
designs of the rebel element against Union men and
negroes, to be carried into effect when the national
troops are withdrawn and the new State Govern-
ment goes into operation. The Raleigh Standard
states that papers are springing up in different parts
of the State, and " openly denouncing the National
Government, and promulgating treason of so dan-
gerous a character that their immediate suppression
would be justified." No obstacles, however, are
presented by the people to the execution of the laws
by the provisional state authorities, and Governor
Holden is said to be far from unpopular, as he
evinces a lively interest in the welfare of the inha-
bitants.

Tennessee advices report frequent collisions be-
tween returned Federal and Confederate soldiers.
In the vicinity of Knoxville several Confederate
soldiers had been lynched. Governor Brownlow is
reported to be exceedingly unpopular. He has re-
quested General Thomas to send troops into the
various counties to preserve order at the approach-
ing elections. General Thomas has announced that
if Hon. Emerson Etheridge, the senator recently
arrested, has been guilty of uttering the language
ascribed to him, he may be tried by court-martial.
The General assures Governor Brownlow that the
troops will fully sustain him in carrying out the
policy of the General and State Governments.
The fearful mortality among the freedmen con-
tinues, the military hospitals are full of them, and
every exertion is made to ameliorate their con-
dition. The military orders prohibiting their flock-
ing to large towns and miltary camps had quite a
salutary effect. These orders have, however, all
been countermanded by Secretary Stanton, and in
future no special restrictions are to be imposed on
the movements of negroes. Rumours of negro in-
surrections being imminent at several points in the
South are in circulation.

A report has reached Washington from the mouth
of the Rio Grande which, if true, is of the most seri-
ous importance. The Federal forces had their picket
line extending a long distance up the river on the
Texas side, and were confronted on the Mexican
bank by the pickets of the Imperial forces. A very
unfriendly feeling existed, and it was feared that
open hostilities might ensue. It was reported that
the Federal commader, General Brown, had recently
had an interview with Juarez, to whom he has pro-
mised military assistance, and that the Fourth
Indiana Regiment had been ordered to cross the
river, but General Steele, the commander of the de-
partment, had sent a despatch-boat up the river to
counteract the order if possible. It was reported at
Brownsville that General Kirby Smith and his entire
party had been captured by Viesca, the Juarist
Governor of Saltillo. The supply trains of 75
waggons, 900 rifles, and four pieces of artillery being
taken by the Mexicans, and the party all paroled.
General Smith was en route to join Maximilian.
General Sherman, in his recent speech at Indian-
apolis, Indiana, declared that he would never accept
civil office, and would never again draw his sword
in anger. He disapproved of any further territorial
aggrandizement on the part of the United States,
contending that the country is large enough, and
within its present limits will achieve a glorious
future. In reply to interrogation on the negro
question, General Sherman declared himself firmly
opposed to any miscellaneous mingling of the races.
It was the will of Providence that the white race
should rule here. He would not withhold from the
negroes their natural rights, but he was opposed to
granting them the elective franchise. He advocated
a speedy restoration of civil authority throughout
the country. The General was received everywhere
at the West with great enthusiasm.

Several serious riots have occurred within the
past few days, and a spirit of lawlessness seems to
be alarmingly prevalent. A party of some •300
ruffians from Albany, last 'Thursday, landed from
an excursion boat at the City of Hudson, and after
killing two and severely beating a large number of
citizens, demolished several stores, and overpower-
ing the local authorities, finally escaped. Several
of them have since been arrested. In Concord, N.
Hampshire, on the same day, a party of about 200

returned soldiers demolished a store, whose proprie-
tor had some altercation with one of their number.
They were finally dispersed by some citizen
soldiery.
