flocks, and place themselves under the French protection.
The last markets at Bouffariek were attended by a great
number of Arabs, who brought provisions of all kinds.
iThe Civil Commissioner purchased 400 oxen, but paid th-
natives oily half of the price, in order to be sere of their
coming back again. The Arabs did nut manifest any
d,struit."

Count VV ALEWSKI arrived in Paris from Alex-
andria on Saturday. The Scamandre steamer,
which carried him to Marseilles, encountered a
dreadful storm which, by filling the vessel with
water enough to extinguish two of the furnaces,
completely destroyed the Count's despatches, which
were reduced to a thick pulp or paste. This is
most fortunate for M. TIIIERS, who has thus
escaped an exposure which the present Ministers
contemplated with much satisfaction. Had his
despatches to the Count been obtained, a clue
would at once have been found to the whole
scheme of his labyrinthine policy in Egypt.
The Committee appointed to examine the pro-
ject of law for fortifying Paris, have agreed to re-
commend three very important points :-1. The
' erection of a wall of circumvallation ; 2. The
construction of strong chains of detached forts

Amd, 3. The completion -of the whole of
these works in three years. These forts are
to he constructed so near the city that shells can
be thrown from them into the most crowded quat
kcrs of the French capital. Heaven help the
Republicans if they be not as mute as mice when
these works arc finished I

The following account of the proposed popular
demonstration in favour of the Abbe DE LAMEN-
NAIS on Saturday, is copied from the MessaAer:

" 0., Saturday morning, about eleven o'clock, a gather-
ing of about /00 individuals, the greater part en blouse
711 d ccsquettes, amongst whom were several National
Guards in uniform, took place for the moment on the Place
de la Bourse.

Having reached the Rue de la Michodicu, all the in-
iduals forming the meeting ranged themselves along the
house inhabitzd by M. l'Abbe de Lamennais. A deputa-
tion of fourteen, three of whom were in uniform. waited
upon the hitter. At the expiration of ten minutes the de-
putation retired, and the meeting then dispersed without
ut;cring any seditious cries.
" Nevertheless forty or fifty individuals, amongst whom
were about twenty-five National Guards, rejoined each
other on the Boulevards, aid repaired to the Place St.
Antoine, marching Once abreast, and arm-in-arm. They
passed round the July column, singing the Marseillais ,'
af.d uttering cries of A bas Guizot 1" A bas la Garde
Municipale I' This second altroupement dispersed after-
wards in various directions.

" These manifestations are culpable ; they are an in-
friligetnent on the respect which is due to justice and the
law. The authorities have adopted measures in order to
suppress immediately the recurrence of similar demonstra-
tions."

By a royal ordinance, dated 31st ult., Rear-Admiral
Hugon has been raised to the rank of Vice- Admiral, in
the room of Baron Roussin, lately promoted to that of
Admiral ; Captain Dumont d'Urville was appointed Rear-
Admiral ; Rear- Admiral Casy was to to take the command
of a division of the squadron of the Mediterranean under
Admiral Hugon ; and Rear-Admiral Parscval Dcschene
teas to succeed Rear-Admiral Casy in the post of Major-
General of the Marine at Toulon.
The Moniteur publishes another ordinance in the war
department, instituting two special and distinct committees
for the infantry and cavalry, which had been hitherto united.
The first was composed of Generals Schneider, Schramm,
Rapatel, Cubicres, Trezel, Tholose, and Favier, and M.
Melcion d'Arc, a military indendant ; and the second, of
Generals Near', Sparre, Audenarde, Wolff, Latour• Mau-
bourg, Oudinot, and Wathiez ; and M. Denniee, a mili-
tary intendant.
By a third Royal ordinance, inserted in the same
official organ, the foreign legion in the service of 1' ranee
i> hereafter !o be divided into two regiments, to consist
each of three battalions, and of an effective force of 3,000
men each. NJ foreigners will hereafter be admitted into
tho..e corps, unless they sign an engagement for five years.
The Semaphine de Marseilles of the 29th ult., an•
flounces that M. Alazlum, the Catholic patriarch of the
Greek rite in Syria, had arrived from Rome at Leghorn, on
his way to Paris. The Prelate was said to be charged
with a mission from the Pope to the French Government
on behalf of the old Emir Bechir.

A letter from Leghorn of the 23d ult. announces that
Queen Christina sailed on the preceding day for Civitta
Vecchia, and that she would proceed thence to Rome,
where her mother, the Dowager-Queen of Naples, had
gone to met t her. M. de Rurnigny, the French Ambas-
sador in Rome, was nearly recovered from his late illness.
