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 N Holz 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
trophies of the French arms which now decorate the
front of the Invalides :--On the eastern 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 1807, 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-
piece, bearing the name of Louis Charles de Bour-
bon, Count d'Eu and Duke d'Angoul6me ; a very
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 cocceatra
tion of troops in that direc:iori. 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 insl

•AQ.•
in a first encounter with the hostile contingents. has
already changed the state of things round Dra el Mixon.
Chef de Bataillon Beaupretre, who command sthe circle,
had received information that the Marabout El Hadj
Amor, followed by numerous contingents, hal 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 bad, 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-

sours. 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 Mizan, and the gourus
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 gourns on the hill of Tachentirt, and
then confidently descended towards the house of the
commandant. At this moment a charge was sounded,
the battalion 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 his 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-
tempting any resistance, sad were pursued beyond
Tachentirt, leaving in our hands 40 killed, 32 prisoners,
and 200 muskets. On our side, thanks 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
puni4hed the insolence of the enemy, awl 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 Aurnale, sth, 11 a.m. :
Yesterday, the, insurgents were cpmpletely beaten by

. ~
the garrison of Dra el Mizan. Gew.,ral Gastn had gone
to make a reconnaissance towards Dordj Boghni, when
the Kabylee, 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 :

Paris, has arrived here to pro vide apartments for
Prince and Princess Adalbert, who are to arrive
here to-day. -It is believed that they will pay a
