According to the Memorial d'Aix, the camp of the
south will cover an area of 1,600 acres, viz., 100 within
the district. of Aix, and 1,500 in that of Chabries.

The embarkation of troops and military stores pro-
ceeds continuously for Marseilles, as if the war was only
about to commence.

M. Winkworth, one of the Council of the Society
of Arts of London, having been deputed to Paris for
objects connected with the Educational Exhibition
about to be inaugurated by H. R. H. Prince Albert,
and also to initiate arrangements for accommodating
such English artisans as may desire to visit the
Universal Exhibition of 1855 on economical terms,
had yesterday an audience, by appointment of the
Emperor, at St. Cloud. At this interview, at which
M. Fould, the Minister of State, assisted, he was
accompanied by M. George Cl,rk, of this city, who
has been long engaged in promoting the erection of
houses suitable for the comfortable sleeping and board-
ing, if required, of the class of ouvricrs, so many of
whom have been dislodged by the destruction of whole
streets in the line of the great improvements now in
progress. His Majesty entered very fully into these
matters, and instructed M. Fould to assist the' com-
mittee in London, of which Lord Ebrington is the
chairman, and especially M. Clark, to carry out the
suf.Testions to the utmost practical limits, it being the
Emperor's decided wish that the workmen of the two
countries should, have the opportunity of reciprocat-
ing and cementing those feelings of amity and good-
will which are happily so generally entertained. He
also said that he thought such visits could not fail
to be the medium of communicatingindusttial information
to parties best able to appreciate and derive material
advantage from it. The Emperor then assured M.
Winkworth that, as far as the peculiar institutions of
this country afforded the means, Lord Granville, Chair-
man of the Educational Exhibition Committee, might
depend on every effort being made to send over articles
illustrative of the systems of public instruction pursued'
in this country. His Majesty also said that he would
depute a gentleman to represent him at the Educational
Congress about to be held at the centenary celebration
of the Society at St. Martin's-hall.
