The Paris papers are very barren of intelligence. In The
Sun of yesterday it was announced that the Minister of War
demanded an extraordinary vote of 25,000,000 f. for the army
in Africa. The following are some of the details mentioned
on the occasion, showing the necessity for this large grant.
The original number of troops fixed for the military govern-
ment of Algiers was 60,000 men, but unexpected events
had rendered that force totally unequal for the purpose, and
a great increase had, consequently, taken place. The
effective troops, said General DE ST. Yos, in Algeria,
on the Ist of December, 1845, amounted to 95,381
men, besides the native troops, and it was in-
tende.l that the same strength should be kept tp
during 1846. The expense would be nineteen millions and
a half, besides the expense of the purchase and transport of
1,500 horses and 1,500 mules, which had been lost in the re-
cent campaigns, over and above the number calculated in
the budget, and the establishment of hospitals and stations
in the colony, also 200,000 f. for secret-service money, making
altogether the sum of 25,273,000 f. He regretted that, owing
to the state of the colony, he could not hold out any pi os-
pect of a diminution in the expenses for some time. The
following are miscellaneous paragraphs from the papers:—

The Grand Council of the city of Bale has just passed a law, for-
bidding all citizens to accept titles of nobility Irons foreign States,
under pain of being incapacitated from holding any public employ-
ment at home. Another enactment of the same Bill declares that
citizens receiving pensions from foreign Powers cannot be admitted
to the Council, and that no order or mark of honour can be borne in
any case without authorisation from the superior Powers being first
obtained.
