FRANCE.

All the troops destined for the Camp of the North
are either already arrived or on their march to their
cantonments. They form three divisions, the head-
quarters of which are to be established at Boulogne,
Wimereux, and St. Omer. Every branch of the
service is perfectly organised, and staff officers are
marking out the most eligible spots between St.
Omer and Boulogne where the army may manoeuvre
without causing too much damage to the crops.
The grand manceuvres are not to take place until
the two last weeks of September.
The Emperor has placed at the disposal of the
general Staff a considerable sum for prizes to be
distributed to the best marksmen. The soldiers
are to be divided into two classes. In order to be
admitted into the first they must have gained the
first prize in the second.
A communication by telegraph is established
throughout the camp, and also with Paris. Orders
despatched from Biarritz arrive in five-and-twenty
minutes.

General de Wedel, Governor of the Fortress of
Luxemburg, has arrived in Paris, on a mission
from the King of Prussia, to pay his Majesty's
respects to the Emperor Napoleon on his return
from Biarritz, and to accompany him to the camp
at Boulogne-sur-Mer.
The Minister of the Interior has addressed the
following circular to the Prefects :

"Paris, Aug. 19.
" Monsieur le Prefect—In a testament as immortal
as his glory, the Emperor Napoleon I. had written, I
bequeath my private domain, one half to the remaining
officers and soldiers of the French army, who f•ught
from 1792 to 1815 for the glory and independence of the
nation, and the other half to such towns and country
a,uptiii.d,
districts of Alsace, Lorraine, Franehe Compt6, Bur-
gundy, Ile-de-France. Champagne, Forez, and Das may have suffered by one or the other invasion.' The
private domain of the Emperor did not then receive
from the Government the patriotic destination assigned
to it; but, faithful to the wish of his august predecessor,
the Emperor Napoleon 111. has not forgotten the pro-
vinces formerly deprived of that glorious legacy.
By the decree of the sth of August, just passed, a
sum of 1,300,000 francs is attributed to them ; and
the 26 departments comprising them, and amongst
which yours is comprised, will receive each 50,000 f.
You will have to propose to me the employment of
that sum ; and the Emperor desires that in each de-
partment it may be devoted, not to individual and
temporary assistance but to a durable institution of
charity, which
may perpetuate in the heart of the popu-
lations the religious remembrance of the attention which
Napoleon bestowed on them on his death-bed. You
will consult your council-general on the execution of
this noble suggestion. Their patriotism will, I am con-
vinced, know how to comprehend and respond to it, for
the project is worthy of the great memory which has in-
spired it.--Receive, &c., "BILLAULT,
"Minister of the Interior."
A line of steamers is about to be established
between Constantinople and Varna by the Mes-
sageries Imperiales, under an engagement with the
Ministry of War. The service, which is to consist
of six voyages per month going and returning, will
be performed by two steamers of 120-horse power ;
and the departures will be so combined that the
boats leaving for Varna will always carry despatches
for the army brought to Constantinople by couriers
from Marseilles.
The Moniteur de 1' Armee has the following

" The formation of the camp of the south, which had
for a time been delayed by considerations connected with
the sanitazy condition of Marseilles and the neighbour.
ing cities, is now being actively prosecuted. Already
the effective of the camp amounts to about 2,000 men,
coMprisinr, one company and two battalions of the 57th,
one battalion of the 10th, two of the 61st of the line,
and in a day or two more are expected. The two divi-
sions of infantry will be completed before the end of the
month. All the troops will be under canvas. The sani-
tary condition of the troops is excellent."
The Moniteur of this (Wednesday) morning pub-
lishes a decree reducing the customs duties on dye-
stuffs, vanilla, beet, potass, and marble.
The Pays has received a warning from the
Government, for publishing an article relative to
the new Turkish loan, which article is declared, in
the official document, " to contain wilfully false

allegations, concerning a pretended refusal on the
part of the Ottoman Government to accept the in-
tervention of France and England in the guarantee
and surveillance of the loan ;" and also " because
the article contains attacks against the Turkish ad-
ministration, which the French Government can-
not tolerate." It is said that the Turkish ambas-
sador complained bitterly of the article in question,
and that he did not hesitate to affirm that the
motive which had induced the Pays, or Le Jour-
nal de l'Empire, as it is more magniloquently
called, to write down the new loan, was the disap-
pointment of M. Mires, the proprietor of that
print, at finding his offer to undertake the loan in
Paris peremptorily refused. What seems to give
some colour to this allegation is, that in the Jour-
nal des Chemins de Per, of Saturday last, of which
M. Mires is also the proprietor, there appeared a
very unjust and one-sided article on the same sub-
ject.
Garibaldi has issued a declaration from the baths
of Acqui, declaring that, being tired of hearing his
name constantly coupled with wild attempts at re-
volt, he frees himself from all personal responsibi-
lity respecting them.
Prince Albers of Prussia and his family have
arrived at the Hotel de Rivoli, with the intention
