FRANCE.

It is believed that the Court will leave Biarritz
on the 27th or 28th instant for St. Cloud, and will
stop for two days at Bordeaux on its way north-
wards. There is a report that King Otho of Greece
is coming to Paris next month. M. de Persigny
is still here, but his departure is daily expected.
Count de orny is not likely to return until the
new year. It was said that a squadron of five
men-of-war was to go to Cronstadt to fetch him.
As yet no preparations are making for the Con-
gress to be held at Paris this winter, and which is
to consist of the second representatives who as-
sisted at the Congress last spring. But there ap-
pears no doubt that such a meeting will be held,
with a view to settle, with the least delay possible,
questions arising out of the treaty of Paris.
The following is an exact list of the military
troDhies of the French arms which now decorat,,
rronc or me I.llVallUVb i—k.lll the castew side of the
gateway, an immense Algerian mortar ; an eight-
pounder gun, on which are the words nec pluribus
impar ; a Russian cannon, weighing 2,770 kilo-
grammes, cast in 1793 ; a cannon taken at Con-
stantine in 1837 ; a piece of Russian siege artil-
lery, cast in 1793 ; three superb Russian cannon ;
two Austrian, one Dutch ; four small Russian
field-pieces ; two pieces of siege artillery from
Antwerp ; and eight heavy siege guns from Algiers.
On the western side of the gateway, eight siege
guns from Algiers ; four small Russian field-pieces
and two mortars, cast respectively in 18C7, 1821,
1831, 1837, 1844, and 1847 ; an Austrian culverin,
being a masterpiece in the art of cannon-casting ; a
Dutch siege gun ; a Russian mortar, cast in one
piece with its platform in bronze ; four Austrian
siege guns ; a heavy gun from Antwerp ; a Russian
siege gun, weighing 2,665 kilogrammes; a field-

large Russian siege gun, completely mutilated by
the French cannon-balls ; and a large Algerian
mortar, weighing 1,272 kilogrammes. All these
guns are in bronze, and many of them of admirable
workmanship. The Russian guns are ill-formed.
The Minister of War has received the following
report, dated the 6th, from the governor-general of
Algiers, giving details of the late outbreak of the
Kabyles, of which we have already gives a brief
account

" Monsieur le Marechal—For some time past the agi-
' tation of the tribes of the circle of Dra el Mizan has been
gradually increasing, and threatened to become general,
under the active influence of the marabout Si el Adja-
mar. I was therefore compelled to order a concentra-
tion of troops in that direction. I have the more reason
to congratulate myself on having adopted that measure,
that the insurrectional movement began to extend be-
yond the circle of Dre el Mizan, and might have endan-
gered the security of that post. The rapid appearance
of our first troop, however, even before the union of the
columns, soon produced the useful effect which I antic;.
pated from it, and the success obtained on the 2d inst.
in a first encounter with the hostile contingents has
already changed the state of things round Dra el Mizan.
Chef de Bataillon Beaupretre, who command rthe circle,
had received information that the Marabout El Hadj
Amar, followed by numerous contingents, had put him-
self in movement on Dra el Mizan, openly announcing
his intention of burning the village and the hay ricks
round the house of the commanding officer. The
post had, during the night of the let, received
a reinforcement of six companies of the 45th regi-
ment of the line, and a squadron of the Ist African chas-
seize. At daybreak on the 2d the advance of the
enemy was announced, and Commandant Beaupretre
immediately made his arrangements to receive them.
A line of videttes were placed in front of the village
and the establishments of Dra el M zan, and the goums
under the orders of Lieut. Neirtin were posted on the
small hill of Tachentirt. The goums had received or-
ders to retire from their positions in succession as the
enemy advanced, so as not to impede the action of the
troops who were posted out of view of the enemy. The
Kabyle contingents, in number from 6,000 to 7,000,
' rushed on our gowns on the hill of Tachentirt, and
then confidently descended towards the house of the
commandant. At this moment a charge was sounded,
the battalien of the 45th, gallantly led by its com-
mander, M. Rocheim. rushed forward and attacked the
enemy at the point of the bayonet, and established itself
on the hill, while the squadron of chasseurs, commanded
by Captain Guyot, dashed into the midst of the Kabyle
masses. During this time, General Gastu, whom I
had ordered from Medean to take the command of the
troops, advanced with a column towards Dra el Mizan.
Hearing the sound of musketry, he hastened bis ad-
vance, and soon arrived with his cavalry on the scene
of action. The enemy being surprised, and doubt-
less thinking that they had to do with a much more
numerous body, fled in all directions without at-
temp'ing any resistance, and were pursued beyond
Tachentirt, leaving in our hands 40 killed, 32 prisoners,
and 200 muskets. On our side, thanke to the admirable
arrangements made by Commandant Beaupretre, and so
fortunately completed by the sudden arrival of General
Gastu, we have only had a few wounded. This success
is of real importance in a political point of view ; it has
punished the insolence of the enemy, and replies in a
favourable manner to the falsehoods of the Marabout El
Hadj Amar, who bad impressed the Kabyles with the
belief that we had not a sufficient force to repel their
attacks. I have this moment received the following
telegraphic despatch, dated Aumale, sth, 11 a.m. :
Yesterday, the insurgents wero completely beaten by
the garrison of Dra el Mizan. General Gastu had gone

to make a reconnaissance towards Bordj Boghni, when
the Kabyles, thinking that there were no troops at Dra
el Mizan, made the attack. The loss of the insurgents

is very considerable.' This despatch records a fresh
victory gained by our troops.—Accept, &c.,"RANDON."
The Messager of Bayonne of Thursday says :
" Baron de Wedlang, Bavarian Ambassador at
Paris, has arrived here to provide apartments for
Prince and Princess Adalbert, who are to arrive
here to-day. It is believed that they will pay a

hort visit to Biarritz, the bride being an old friend
of the Empress."

ITALY.
The Genoa Corriere Mercantile of the 11th inst'
quotes a letter from Alessandria of the 10th, stating
that the works of the now fortifications had com-
menced, and that the contractors intended to carry
them on with the greatest activity. General La
Marmora, the Minister of War, arrived at Ales-
sandria r2ll that day, and proceeded immediately to
visit the works which the sappers are executing on
the bastions in the direction of Marengo. Af er
visiting the ground on which the other fortifications
are to be erected, the General reviewed the garri-
son drawn up under arms in the citadel, and re-
turned in the evening to Turin.
The Cologne Gazette states that the new collec-
tive note which the western powers intend sending

police and of punishments arbitrarily inflicted by

establishments, so as to give an impetus to com-
merce and manufactures. 4th. Permission to all
