FRANCE.

The Moniteur Algerien, of the 10th, announces
that after the capture of Zaatcha, all the popula-
tions of the Ziban, who had been waiting the
issue, hastened to the camp of General Herbillon
to give hostages for their submission, and for the
payment of fines inflicted on them. Colonel
Daumas, after having established the French
authority in Bou Cada, and among the neigh-
bouring fractions of the Ouled sails had sent
forces against the Ouled-Ameur-nen•Feradj,
owing to the unsatisfactory replies they had made to
his demands ; and on the 29th ultimo an engagement
took place at Djebel-Messad, which ended by the
defeat of the enemy, and by their tents and great part
of their flocks falling into the possession of the French,
after which they made their submission. The loss of
the French in the affair was only a few killed and
wounded. The defeat of the Ouled-Ameur-Ben-
Feradj, joined to the taking of Zaatcha, caused such
a profound impression, that another important frac-
tion of the same tribe, which had been resisting, made
their submission also.

The following is a return of the situation of the Bank
of France on Dec. 13:—

PR USSIA.

The Berlin State Gazette of the lath announces
officially the departure for Frankfort of the Prussian
members of the ad interim Federal Commission. The
first question which will be submitted to the Commis-
sion will be, it is said, the constitution of a new
Lieutenancy-General for Schleswig-Holstein ; and on
this point it is expected that the Commissioners will
be in complete disaccord, Austria wishing to exclude
Prussians and Danes from the Lieutenancy and in
troduce Auitrians, and Prussia positively refusing to
submit to any such condition.
