Arabs brought into the field against the French, in the
engagement of the 81st ult., three battalions of regular
infantry, 1,500 cavalry, and one piece of artillery.
The infantry of the Emir was sut rounded, cut to pieces,
or driven by the French cavalry across the Chiffa. The
piece of cannon, three banners of the Bey of Miliana,
and 400 muskets were captured by the French, and
300 of the infantry and 100 of the cavalry remained on
the field. The passengers who arrived in Toulon on
board the Fulton steamer, reported that the French had
had only six officers and thirty-two rank and file put
hors de combat. A reinforcement of 3,000 men had
been forwarded from Algiers to Mostaganem, and an-
other to Oran, against which place it was believed Abd-
Kader contemplated a serious attack.
It seems certain that the Bishop of Arras will at
length accept the Archbishopric of Paris. This worthy
and virtuous Prelate, whose repeated refusals we have
ourselves mentioned, at the same time expressing our
wishes that they might succeed, has not been able to
resist the urgent solicitations of the King, and of the
Municipal Council, and the Clergy of Paris, repre-
sented by the parish priests of the twelve parishes of
the cap:t.l.
The Ratneer steamer left Toulon on the 4th of Ja-
nuary, for Algiers. What has occurred at Cherchill is
another consequence of the Treaty of the Tafna,
which ceded to the Emir eighty leagues of sea-coast.
Tne return of piracy is certainly not to be apprehended.
This affair is only an isolated fact, but, however, the
Arabs have recommenced their piratical excursions. We
owe it to the treaty concluded by General Bugeaud.—
Le Commerce.

The last letters from Alexandria state that the
Turkish fleet is ravaged by cruel diseases, and that the
Paella is more than ever inclined to send it away.—

According to accounts from Alexandria Mehemet Ali
is in great fear of a debarkation near St. Jean d'Acre,
owing to an European intervention, to prevent which he
is augmenting the fortifications of that place, and to,
defray the expenses he is selling a great quantity of corn.
Accounts from Odessa of the 21st Dec., state that it
is certain that the considerable armaments which have
been making for some time past in Russia, are to resist
Ibrahim Pasha in Asia Minor. Tee number of troops
to be employed for that purpose consists of forty thou-
sand men, which will be landed on the coast of Ana-
tolia, to which is to be added a considerable reserve.

We are again deprived of arrivals this morning, no
doubt owing to the north-easterly winds, which still
prevails at sea. The best informed in the city cannot
account for the extraordinary delay in the arrivals of
the five packets which are due from New York. The
Chinese affairs are the chief topics of conversation at
present amongst the commercial community.
