We have received the Paris Papers of Thursday.

On Wednesday Baron CHARLES DUPIN laid on
the table of the Chamber of Peers the report on the
Bill for granting an extraordinary supply for the ser-
vice of Algeria. A resume of this report is published
in the Journal des Debats, frDin which it appears
that the port and fortifications of Algier., have been
greatly improved by works, which have tripled the
extent of Algiers, and have substituted for the an-
cient fortifications a continuous wall two miles long,
protected by bastions. The improvement of the port
of Algiers occupies a prominent part in the report.
In place of a small harbour, covering a superficies of
from ten to twelve acres, which was sufficient for the
Algerine corsairs, the jetty constructed by the French
engineers affords an anchorage ground extending
over fifty acres, and which, when completed,
will enclose 250 acres, sufficient for the purposes
of a considerable fleet. Oran and the great
port of Mers-el-Kebir are then described. Next are
mentioned the number of roads opened and bridges
constructed, together with the lighthouses and tele-
graphs erected. The report states that twelve years
since there were but 11,000 colonists in Algeria.
There are now 110,C00. Of these 17,000 are armed
as militiamen. By these means, should the entire
regular army be engaged in campaign, Algiers can
protect itself by its national guard, The report ob-
serves, that during the first years of the French oc-
cupation the colony resembled Rome before the rape
of the Sabine women. There were scarcely any. Eu-
ropean women or children there. At present the
European population numbers twenty-five thousand
woman and forty-two thousand children. The re-
port concludes by stating, that of the children of
the Algerine population, 4,000 males and females, in
equal proportions, are educated in schools established
by the French authorities. file Sisters of Charity
have, moreover, established a dispensary at Constan-
tine, where they distribute, gratis, medicines to the
indigent Arabs. They even dress the wounds of the
poor natives. Their reputation for benevolence has
extended to the confines of the desert, and the dis-
tressed Arabs come a long distance to implore their
aid. The sisters of Charity afford relief, on an
average, to 100 a day, or more than 36,000 a year.
The report recommends that the supply demanded by
the Government be granted.

The Chamber of Peers voted the
,budget of expen-
diture on Wednesday by a majority of 105 to 13.
M. TUJA, a Conservative; has resigned the office
he held of Councillor and Secretary-General of the
department of the Haute Loire, because " shameless
nepotism, corruption, venality, rapine, are every-
where; the public fortune is abandoned to shameless
waste, and the consideration and honour of the coun-
try are degraded in the most. deplorable manner."
The .Presse says that every effort was made to pre-
vent M. TUJA from resigning his office.
Senor OLOZAGA and Mr. HENRY SOUTHERN, the
Secretary to the English Legation at Lisbon, passed
through Bayonne, en route for London, on the 2d
instant.

The German Journal of Frankfort has the follow-
ing from Berlin, dated the 28th ult.:—" M. GUIZOT
lately called the attention of the Prussian Minister for
Foreign Affairs to a Polish lady, who, in the in-
terest of the Polish propaganda, intended to pro-
ceed from Paris to Berlin to communicate with one
of the Poles about to be tried. The Minister for-
warded this information to the tribunal, and it was
ascertained that M. GUIZOT really keeps a vigilant
itye upon the Poles in Paris. The lady did arrive in
Berlin, and went to the prison to speak to the Pole in
question, but she was refused admittance, and there-
fore returned immediately to Paris."
The Constilutionnel, after quoting the above from
the German journal, remarks—
" If this is a fact it will greatly increase the esteem
with which our Ministry is regarded, and which it
merits so well. The narrative of the Journal of
-Frankfort is too precise to admit of any doubt of the
Cabinet having given this new proof of its title to
that consideration which no one refuses to it. But
what may not be quite so certain is, that it
was for a political object, and not for a humane
one, that the lady went to Berlin. No matter,
it affarded the Minister an opportunity of aziaiting
