FRANCE.

The embarkation of draft-horses and stores for
he artillery for the Black Sea, is going on with
activity at Toulon.
The Moniteur contains a report to the Emperor,
from Marshal Vaillant, Minister of War, recom-
mending the concession, to a rich builder of Paris,
named Demonchy, of the ruins of the anciew
Roman town of Tipaza, eighteen leagues to the
west of Algiers, near the sea shore, on condition
that he builds there a town of a certain size. With
the ancient town is to be conceded a territory of
?,672 hectares (the hectare being 24 acres.) A
decree from the Emperor carries out the recommen-
dations of the report.
A telegraphic despatch in the Moniteur, dated
Barritz 24th, says :—" The Emperor arrived here
yesterday evening at 7 o'clock. His return from
Pau by Oleron, Mauleon St. Palais, and Haspar.
ren, during which he passed through the most de-
!ightful and picturesque country, was marked by
the wannest manifestations of enthusiasm. On
all sides the inhabitants, who came in crowds froth
the mountains and valleys on the road, hailed his
Majesty with the loudest acclamations. Marshal
Elarispe waited for the Emperor at Mauleon, being
desirous, notwithstanding his great age, of sharing
in the general manifestation."
The reception given to the Emperor during his
late visit to Pan was of the most enthusiastic
description. Triumphal arches were erected in
the streets through which his Majesty had to
pass. The mayor, attended by the municipal
council, received the Emperor on his w•rival,
and delivered an appropriate a 'dress, in which
lie alluded to the chateau in which the Emperor
was about to reside having been the cradle of the
only King whose memory had been retained by the
eople. The Emperor, in replying to the speech
of the Mayor, sail, " I am anxious to satisfy th
wishes of all. I fully appreciate your having called
to my mind the memory of Henri IV ; he was a
prince eminently French, and the friend of his
people. The wish that every family should have a
fowl in their pot once a week was a royal one ; I
wish it may be reserved to me to realise it." is
Majesty afterwards received the different autho-
rities and constituted bodies. Among them were
the Members of the Council General, headed by
their President, the Baron de Crouseilhes, who in
a short speech expressed the delight felt by the
inhabitants at having his Majesty among them, and
their happiness at the good effect which the visit
had had on the health of the Empress. In the
evening, a numbprof the civil and military autho-
rities had the honour of dining with the Emperor,
and at night the town was brilliantly illuminated,
and a grand display of fireworks took place.
The Moniteur of this (Saturday) morning an-
nounces that Baron Lelang, General of Division,
has left Paris for Vienna, charged by the Emperor
with a military mission on the staff of the Com-
mander-in-Chief of the Austrian Army of Occupa-
tion in the Principalities.
