of •Ahich we gave on Saturday the substance
TCULON, Nov. 2Q.
(The first despatch only arrived in Paris this day, in
consequefiee of the state of the atmosphere.)

‘:I4IARSIIAL VALLEE TO THE MINISTER OF WAR.

" The expedition to Medeah has been concluded with-
.out having experienced any opposition from the enemy
during its march. The troops returned to their canton-
ments on the 22d. The weather will not permit further
operations. Thst province of Algiers is perfectly tranquil.
The province of Constantine has not been the theatre of
any new event. The aril from Oran has not arrived."
" TOULON, Nov. 29.
" &MAIL, Nov. 12.
(Daused in consequence of the state of the atmosphere.)
" The troops which had composed the expedition re-
turned yesterday to Blidah after some successful operations
against Miliaria and the mountains of Zickar. Several
tribes have been severely chastised. We have had five
.men killed, and sixty-two wounded have been brought
'back in wz:ggons."
A letter from Cherbourg of the 2d states that the Belle
Peule frigate would stop a few days in that harbour.
The Belle Pouffe had met a Dutch vessel at the dis-
tance of 500 or 690 leagues from the coast of France, by
whose captain the Prince was told that France and Eng-
'land were then probably at war. He consequently took
measures to repel air attack, and directed the Favorite cor-
vette to make for the harbour of Rochefort, where no ac-
count of her has yet arrived.
The Journal des Debats announces that 400 seamen of
the Belle Poole arid Favorite would leave Cherbourg with
the remains of Napoleon and escort them to Paris. The
convoy will arrive on the morning of the 15th at Courbe-
voie, where the ciffin is to be landed.
. A new frigate, the Penelope, was launched at L'Orient
.on the 27th ult.

The celebrated painter, Isabey, left Paris for Cherbourg
on Waluesday, in o; der to paint the arrival of Napoleon's
reranit:9 in that harbour.

The Minister of the Interior, M. Duchatel, had enjoined
to ail the artists and other persons charged with the deco-
ration
of the tomb of Napoleon, that the whole must be
completed on the 15th inst.
The Commerce publishes a letter from Naples of the
ult., :taring that M. Clsiarn, an officer of the Foreign
Department, had arrived from Paris with despatches
from Queen Christina t' the King, her brother. It ap-
pears that his Majesty, forgetting his former political
grievances against the ca-Regent of .pain, had ordered
she palace of Chitamone to be prepared for her reception.
Her Royal Highnees the Duchess of Cambridge, the
Princesses, and Prince George of Cambridge, arrived in
Rome on the 16th ult. from Venice. The Pope, on learn-
ing their arrival, sent one of his Prelati domestici to com-
pliment them.

A letter horn Toulon, of the 29th of Nuvernber, say!,
" A steam frigate, of 500 horse-power, is going to be put
on the stocks at Toulon. It is said that the greatest excr-
tioa will be made to build this vessel as quickly as pos-
sible. The English have several vessels of this descrip-
tion and force in the Mediterranean, _ _

the following paragraph in the Siecle
The Moniteur Eurisien, which has now no official
character, contains indirectly a sort of contradiction to
the contents of the letter which Lord Melbourne ad-
,dressed to King Louis Philippe on the subject of his arma-
a:lents. Since an opportuuity is given us to return to this
letter, we shall say that it was not without having abso-
lute certainty that we Lpoke of it to our readers. We are
not the persons to take a great pleasure in imagining new
insults which our country would have to keep in remem-
brance. Those are quite sufficient which come through
official channels. Bat since the and the unjust
conduct of the English Government towards France are
audaciously denied, it is not fisting to conceal any of the
affronts which its insolence has attempted to put upon us."
The Courrier Francaise, speaking of the same letter,
rf he letter was in fact transmitted to Paris, but it
was not sent to the Moniteur of the Ist of March. Some
of them were evade acquainted with its object. No one
ventured to show it to M. Thiers."—Le Commerce.

WINDSOR, SUNDAY EVENING.—The nursery
and three adjoining rooms at the Castle, for tha use of the
Infant Princess and her Royal Highness's attendants, arc
nearly completed. They are plainly furnished. There is
now not the least doubt that her Majesty will spend Christ-
mas at the Castle. Prince Albert is expected at the Castle
during the ensuing week. In the event of the Prince pay-
ing a visit to Windsor, his Royal Highness will return to
town the same afternoon. His hunting stud, which is now
at the stables attached to Cumberland Lodge, in the Great ,
Park, consists of four horses only.
