THE PRINCE DE JOINVILLE.

The Toulotinais of the 23d, Nov. gives the following de-
tails as to the voyage of the Priece de Joinville in the.
East :—" On the 26th of October the Iphigenie sailed
from Cyprus to Latakia in Syria, where she arrived in the
morning of the 28th. The Prince, accompanied by several
officers, went ashore, and was received with ali thelonours
due to his rank. On the same day the frigate sailed, and
on the following came to an anchor off Tripoli, where she
found two Egyptian frigates getting under weigh; with the
first regiment of Mehemet Ali's Guards, which was recalled
to Alexandria. On the 30th the Prince and some of the
officers went to visit Mount Lebanon. He was well re-
ceived by all the Christian tribes. On the 2d Nov. he re-
turned on board, accompanied by the sons of the Shiek, who
were loaded with presents at their departure, and were sa-
luted with a display of fireworks. On that day the Iphi-
genie sailed for Beyrout. On the 3d she fell in with a very
fine Egyptian frigate, with Ibrahim Pasha on board, going
to Tripoli. The accustomed salutes were interchanged, but
the two ships had no communication with each other. On
the 4th the Prince took an excursion on land, and the
frigate.sailed for Jaffa, where she came to an anchor on the
6th. She was preceded by a courier from Mehemet lib,
announcing the intended arrival of the Prince, and bearing
orders to all the governors of the towns through which he
was to pass to place themselves at his disposal. The
Viceroy carried his attentions se far as to have the road
to Jerusalem cleared, and every obstacle removed, know-
ing that the Prince proposed to go there. It was re-
solved that the caravan of pilgrims, at the head of which
the Prince placed himself, should leave Jaffa the same
evening, and should return to Caiffa, where the frigate
was to meet it. The caravan, in fact, set out at six in
the evening, accompanied by the Governors of Jaffa and
Gaza, and escorted by 100 irregular cavalry. After
marching for three hours, it arrived at Ramza, and there
stopped for the night. At 11 the next morningit was met
on its way by the Governor of Jerusalem, at the head of a con-
siderable body of cavalry. At 2 o'clock the Prince reached
the holy city. The troops were under arms, and all tho Chris-
tians in Jerusalem appeared upon the glacis. The prince
took up his abode at the convent. The rest of the day was oc-
cupieu viewing all the points rendered sacred by the Pas-
sion and ether holy spots, and in a visit to the Governor,
who promised His Royal Highness to obtain permission
for him to enter the Mosque of Omar, which no Christian
has hitherto been ever suffered to approach. The next
morning the Prince was admitted into this sacred enclo-
sure but all without felt one general sensation of terror,
and more particularly when a fanatic was heard to cry out
against the profanation, and excite the populace to revolt.
The Governor, however, by posting some of the most de-
voted troops at different points, prevented any evil con-
sequences. The Prince then breakfasted with tho Go-
vernor, and afterwards went through the olive-gardens, and
other places worthy of note. On the 9th the caravan
left Jerusalem, and returned to Caiffa by Bethlehem, the
Jordan, the Dead Sea, and Nazareth. Soliman Pasha was
waiting to receive the young Prince at Nazareth, conducted
him in royal state to St. John d'Acre, and remained with
him till he went on board the Iphigenie; which, after
e.auching at Milo, sailed for Malta, where his Royal High-
nes; visited ali the British ships of war in the bay, reviewed
the troop formiog the garrison, and appeared at a ball given
expressly on hi! arrival."

RATS IN PARIS.— D
----
the long delay in removing' ne of the principal reasons for
the depot of the fifth of Paris
n it would cause of the
from Montfaucon, is the dispel's:lo
myriads of rats which have hitherto- found their subsistence
there, and which no doubt would ass:
Nil the Faubourg du
Temple, and probably cause the destructs n of many houses.
Various means of getting' rid of this plat ac, previous to
the proposed removal, have been tried in vain. Even
poison has failed, and besides, this is attended will' nutl)e-
rous\dangers. The most successful expedient has been ire"
quently hunting them with dogs. To render the slllughter
the more extensive, all their burrows or outlets are stopped
at midnight, and then, in the morning, the chace has beets
made by torch-light. On some of these occasions as many
as 45,000 of these animals have been killed of a morning !
Their skins, when properly stripped off, without holes or
other damage, are sold at one sou a-piece, to make gloves.
During the last year these &Outs have been very much at.
tended ; and two gentlemen well known in the fashionable
world have been eager to join the spo with their dogs ;
and a third, who prefers finding his game closer at home.
has, it is said, had numbers of them bagged, 04 brought
to afford him amusement within his own territories, -to the
great annoyance of his neighbours.

His Royal Highness the Duke d'Angouleme,
head of the cider branch of the Bourbons, has officially an-
nounced the death of his father to all the Courts connected
by relationship with his family. It appears that in com-
pliance with the wishes of Charles the Tenth,, bis remains
will be conveyed to Gratz, in Styria, where arc derositel
since 180.5 those of his Consort.
