from Marshal Vaillant, Minister of War, recom-
mending the concession, to a rich builder of Paris,
named Demonchy, of the ruins of the ancient
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

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, Ikauleon St. Palais, and Haspar•
ren, during which he passed through the most de-
lightful and picturesque country, was marked by
the warmest manifestations, of enthusiasm. On
all sides the inhabitants, who came in crowds from
the mountains and valleys on the roid, hailed hi:.
Majesty with the loudest acclamations. Marshal
Harispe waited for the Emperor at Mauleon, being
desirous, notwithstanding his great age, of sharing
in the general manifestation."

council, received the Emperor on his arrival,
and delivered an appropriate address, in which
he 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
people. The Emperor, in replying to the speech
of the Mayor, said, " I am anxious to satisfy the
wishes of all. I fully appreciate your having called
to my mind the memory of Henri IV ; he was a
prince eminently French, aid 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 Biron 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 number-of '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-

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-
