CENTRAL INDIA.

The Mhow field force, under the command of
Major-General Mitchell, attacked and defeated
Tantia Topee on the 15th of September, near
Heore, capturing 25 guns. The loss on the side
of the British is but trifling.
On the 19th General Mitchell reached linrein-

ghur in pursuit of the enemy, who had turned
towards Scronj after his defeat on the 15th.

Brigadier Parke, with the Neemuch column, was
at Surrimpore on the 19th Sept., awaiting instruc-
tions from General Mitchell, under whose orders
he had been placed.

It appears from the latest intelligence that
Major-General Mitchell crossed the Parbady river
on the 29th Sept., and marched towards Bursiah in
order to cover Bhopal from the rebel force collected

at Seronj.

Reinforcements in Cavalry, Horse Artillery, and
Infantry are on their march to Mhow from the
Bombay Presidency ; the cavalry alone number
about 1,200 sabres. A regiment of Beatson's Horse
from Jaulnah is also on its way to the same

quarter.
The Bombay Presidency is perfectly quiet.

FRANCE AND PORTUGAL.

The Paris correspondent of the Morning Post
(second edition) says :—" We must not expect any
solution of the difficulty between France and Por-
tugal for some days to come, that is to say, not be-
fore the end of next week. The Nord is better in-
formed than the Lidependance of Brussels on this
subject, and calls the despatches just sent to Lisbon
instructions,' and not an ultimatum.'
.At :the
Bourse to-day the impression was that the difficulty
had not been arranged, as erroneously believed on
WednPsdny. In consequence quotations receded.
The prices, which left off yesterday at 73f. 65e.,
fell to 73f. 35c."

The Paris correspondent of the Times (second
edition) says :—J' The prospect of a pacific solution
with Portugal is brighter since yesterday. I
suspect that my anticipation about the vapoury'
nature of the affair will prove true. Ministers, as
you are already informed, met in Council yesterday
at St. Cloud; and the result was that the offer was
accepted, conditionally."

FRANCE.

PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING.

A telegraphic despatch from Marseilles an-
nounces that a battalion of riflemen embarked to-
day on board the steam frigate Christophe Colomb
for Civita Vecchia. These troops are to proceed
to Rome to reinforce the garrison there, as the
French army there had no riflemen attached to
them, an arm indispensable for a corps darmee.
A telegram, received to-day from NI. Castillon,
French Consul-General at Tangiers, unfortunately
confirms the fact of the assassination of the French
Vice-Consul at Tetuan.

Orders were received at Toulon on Sunday last
for the fleet to take in provisions and be prepared
to sail in case further orders should be received to
that effect. The Toulonais of to-day mentions as a
report that the fleet is to proceed to Lisbon. It
was further reported that the Napoleon and
Arcole, which are now taking in coal, are likewise
to proceed to the Tagus. Others said that these
ships are to proceed to Tangiers.

PRUSSIA.
A letter from Berlin of the 12th inst., says :
" The King has left. I am still under the emo-
tion experienced on witnessing the departure. I
can only write a few lines.

Their Majesties the King and the Queen hav-

ing left Potsdam at 58 minutes after 12 reached the
station here at half-past 1. An immense crowd had
assembled and greeted the King with enthusiastic
shouts of Long live the King; may you speedily
return in good health !" God bless the King !'
The King, much moved, placed his hand on his
heart and bowed repeatedly. I thank you, my
children !' he said. After taking leave of Field-
Marshal Wrangel and of the Prefect of Police the
special train started. All along the line a dense
crowd greeted the Royal party with shouts of ' Long
live the King !' At the Anhault station the Ministers
Manteuffel and Von der Heydt entered the Royal
carriage to take leave of their Majesties. The same
shouts and marks of sympathy were evinced here by
the assembled multitude ; but when the King
covered his face with his hands, and with tears
rolling down his cheeks exclaimed, addressing the
Prince
_of Prussia, Do you hear those shouts,

William? Auf baldiges Wiedersehen ! Good bye !
au revoir ! ' there was not a dry eye at the station.
It is impossible to describe the emotion of the Prince
of Prussia. The Queen sobbed aloud, and every
man present wept. The train left at 1.45."
The government of the Bank has raised the rate
of discount to 5 per cent. for bills of exchange and
to 6 per cent. fOr loans on deposit. This increase
is caused by the increased export of silver to
Austria.

The new Turkish Charge d'Affaires, Aristarchi
Bey, was received this morning by M. de Man-.
teuffel, to whom he presented his credentials:

The following- private telegram had been re.
ceived :

" MADRID, Oct. 13.
" The Prince of the Asturias is slightly indis•
posed."

THE MARRIAGE OF THE :DUKE DE

MALAKHOFF.

The marriage of Marshal Pelissier with Made-
moiselle Paniega was solemnised on Tuesday even-
ng with all due solemnity in the Imperial Chapel
of St. Cloud. The Emperor and Empress, Madame
Montijo (to whom the bride is said to be very
nearly related), the Emperor's uncle, Prince Jerome,
his son, Prince Napoleon, and his daughter, Princess
Mathilde, the Murats," together with, to use, the
language of the Moniteter, " a numerous and bril-
liant assemblage, composed of the grand dig-
nitaries of the State, Ministers, Marshals, &c.,”
were present. The civil ceremony had taken
place in the afternoon at the Mairie of the
Rue d'Anjou St. Honore, First Arrondissement
of Paris, and the religious service was performed by
the Emperor's principal chaplain, the Bishop of
Nancy. Marshal Vaillant, Minister of War, and
M. Walewski, Minister of Foreign Affairs, gave
away the bridegroom, and M. Fould, Minister of
State, and a Spaniard, the Marquis de Casa Riera,
did the same office for the bride. The mother of
the lady lives in Spain, but from some cause or
other does not appear to have been present. The
Moniteur records the proceedings almost in an
official form, and gives it all the distinction which
a prominent place and large type can impart. It
may, consequently, be regarded as of great
interest to the public, if not a political event;
and I should not be much astonished if ad-
dresses from the civil and military authorities
expressed the joy of the French nation. Marshal
Pelissier, Duke de Malakhoff, is said to be in his
67th year, or thereabouts; his Duchess in her 33d.
She had been living for some time with Madame
Montijo, and constantly appeared with her in
Parisian society for two winters back. She seemed
to be regarded almost in the light of an adopted
daughter. Much is reported of the generosity of
their Majesties, and, although it is quite in charac-
ter with the well-known munificence of the Em-
peror, yet I apprehend there is some exaggeration
in the reports of the splendid gifts bestowed on
this great occasion. _ _

The resources placed by a liberal and enthusias-
tic people at their Sovereign's disposal could not be
more gracefully distributed. Some of the Paris
papers have said that the spacious mansion in the
Champs Elysees known as the Hotel D'Albe has
been bestowed on Madame Montijo. If this be the
case it will probably become her permanent resi-
dence, and may soon again be adorned with the pre-
sence of other members of the family. It is possible
that splendid alliances are yet in store. Indeed, it
was lately rumoured that another Marshal was
also about to unite himself with the French or
Spanish branch of the family. Marshal Pelissier,
who, all accounts agree, went through the interest-
ing ceremony, both at the Mairie and the Chapel
of St. Cloud, with remarkable self-possession, was
not supposed to be what is called a marrying man.
After the religious ceremony the wedding guests
proceeded to the saloons of the Palace, and there
paid in due form their compliments, and offered
their felicitations to the new married couple. The
Duke and Duchess start for England immediately;
and the latter, I have no doubt, will be the same
ornament to English society that she has been here.
The Duke has already established his reputation
among you.
