FRANCE.

,VRIS, TUESDAY EVENING.

Lord Palmerston is said to be among the ditin-
guished persons invited to Font iinebleau during
the Queeu's visit there.
A private telegraphic despatch from Constanti-
nople, published in the French papers yesterday,
announced that the Persian troops had refused to
evacuate Herat, and were fortifying it. This in-
telligence is completely unfounded.
The Moniteur publishes despatches received by
Marshal Valliant from the Governor-General of
Algeria. The followings is an extract in which an
account is given of the proceedings of the division
of General Maissiat from the 27th to the 30th ult. :
—" After having bivouacked on the 26th near the
Bordj-Akban, the division of General Maissait, in
ascending on the 27th to the Col de Chellata, found
the high points of ground which command that
place defended by strong entrenchments occupied
by numerous Kabyles. The brigade Desmarset
by making a circuitous movement ort the left,
soon compelled the Kabyles to abandon their posi-
tions, and retire to the rock of Tizibert, while the
brigade Margadel continued its advance to the
Col. The Tizibert is an enormous rock, with steep
sides, which commands the entrance to the Col. Its
summit is crowned by a natural wall, to which the
Kabyles have added other defences with loop-holes
for musketry, and which they appeared to be re-
solved to defend with obstinacy. After firing a few
rounds of artillery, Colonel Desmarest ordered a
part of his force to scale the rock in front, while
another part were sent to attack it in the rear. The
enemy replied to the attack by a well-directed fire,
and rolled down large stones on the heads of their
assailants. The French soldiers, however, reached
the summit before it had been evacuated by
its defenders, and several of these latter were
killed on the spot by the Zouaves. The loss of
the Kabyles is estimated at 25 killed and more
than 50 woundel The French had four killed
and 30 wounded, and among the latter three of
f.cers. On the 27th, Gen"ral Maissiat was esta-
blished on the Plateau of Chellata. On the 28th,
._„

the troops were allowed to rest ; but on the 29th,
they attacked and carried the village of M'Zien, as
well as some other villages near. In these attacks
the French had 17 killed and 97 woundA, and
among the latter was Colonel de Margadel, who
was struck by a ball in the shoulder. The enemy
had 63 killed and 125 wounded. On the 30th,
Geueral Mtissiat attacked and g tined possession of
the village of Ait-Azis which was very strongly
entrenched and defended with great obstinacy.

During a part of the time the fiihting was com-
pletely point blank, the French sdidiers advancing
so close to the loop-holes that they caught hold of
the muskets of the liabyles. The French had 19
killed and 64 wounded, the Arabs 28 and 55, ex-
clusive of those who were removed."
A Berlin letter in the Constitutionnel states
that as it appears certain that the recent events
in Italy were planned in London, the Austrian Go-
vernment has requested the Prussian C tbinet to
address a note to the English Government, praying
it to exercise active surveillAnce over the foreign
refugees in England, or, in other words, to modify
the laws relative to them. The reply of Prussia to
the demand is, says Vie letter, not yet known.
Letters from Vienna in the Boersenhalle of Ham-
burg and in the Augsburg Gazette affirm that the
Italian powers, including Au,tria, intend to address
a joint demand to the English Gtbinet not to allow
Mazzini and his fellows to terrain in England.
