FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRANCE.
(Extracts from the French Papers.)
The 118 African prisoners of war taken by General Bu-
geaud, lodged in a barrack of the suburb of St. Lazara, a
Marseilles, are divided into two equal camps ; in the one are
the Bedouins, or natives of the Atlas, and in the other the
Moors. The strictest surveillance is required to prevent
them fighting with one another. The authorities have
adopted the wise plan of imprisoning on these occasions
whomever is the aggressor. The Moors are docile and
grateful for any attention paid them, but the Bedouins pre-
serve their natural savageness, and are not sensible of good
treatment. They seldom appear in the streets.—Courrier
Francais.

M. Senilhas, a chief of battalion of the staff, who had
succeeded Colonel St. Yon, as French commissioner at the
bead-quarters of General Cordova, has been ordered to
return to France. It is not yet known whether the Go-
vernment will appoint another officer in his place.—Couk-
Tier Francais.

Letters from Lyons of the 20th inst. announce " that a
considerable fall, amounting almost to a panic, had taken
place in the price of silks. It was attributed to the scarcity
of money, which has of late been felt in that city. Discount
is very high, and obtained with difficulty. The principal
cause of this crisis is owing to the delay of the merchants
from the United States in forwarding large remittances due
to our commercial houses, and perhaps also, but merely for
a time, to the obligation under which the founders of the
bank are to pay in their share of the capital (2,000,000 f.)
on the Ist of Oetober."—Courrier Francais.

PARIS, SEPT. 24.—1 t is affirmed that M. Guizot, in a
memorial presented to the King yesterday, has endeavoured
to convince his Majesty that the present Chamber has ex-
isted long enough, and that it had a tendency to seek po-
pularity at the risk of the Crown. Our new organization,
says M. Guizot, requires appropriate instruments ; it can
do nothing as it is, and may serve the cause of anarchy by
blindly following the recollections of July. But the prin-
cipal grounds on which the Minister supports his conside-
ration for a speedy and immediate dissolution of the Cham-
ber is the certainty that the Legitimatists of the West and
the South will take part in the elections, and will repair
to their Colleges. All the youth of the West, who,
being offended or implicated in the troubles of La
Vendee, had refused to take any part in the elections, have
manifested now their intention of attending them. Ac-
cording to the Minister, the directors of the committees in
favour of this opinion have received positive instructions,
and even orders, from Prague, to refrain from any alliance
with the popular party ; so that there will be no longer any
reason to apprehend those monstrous alliances which have
afflicted the country.
Such, it is said, is the affair which now engrosses the
Council. M. Mole is not for the dissolution, but M. Gui-
zot seems to have found the secret of the conventions,
which the Palace would wish to rally. The memorial is
drawn up in this sense. We are assured that his Majesty
has not expressed his opinion on the subject, either to the
author of the memorial, or to any of his colleagues. The
question must soon come before the Council.—Journal d a
Commerce, Sept. 25.
