FRANCE.

PARIS, THURSDAY.

M. de Bourqueney sets out to-morrow for Zurich,
and M. de Banneville, who is expected this even-

from Vienna, will follow him on Saturday.
M. des Ambrois, the Sardinian Minister, starts

MM. Colloredo and de Maysenberg, the Austrian

and the deliberations will begin on Monday.
The Courrier de Paris says Prince Napoleon has

"It is stated posiively," says the Independance

definitively resolved to employ in works of public
utility the 150 millions which remain unexpended
of the loan of 500 millions. Such a decision would
naturally be regarded as a marked symptom of
the security of peace."

INDIA.

THE BOMBAY MAIL.
We have received by the overland mail, via Mar-
seilles, our correspondence from Bombay to
July 5.
'I he following is fromthc Bombay Times of that
date :
"It seems the fate of Lord Canning's adminis-
tration to sail in troubled waters to the last. We
learn simultaneously from Calcutta, that the Go-
vernment has decreed a free discharge to all soldiers
of the late company who choose to demand it, and
that the sth European regiment, at Behampore, is
in open mutiny to enforce the concession. The
general order, published elewhere, is an elaborate
refutation of the claim to reenlistment, but in
deference to the men it proceeds as follows :
" The Government is satisfied that the objections of the
men are founded, in the case of many of them, on an honest
conviction that their rights have been overlooked. This con-
viction has been strengthened by the expression of opinions
from high authority in England, which naturally have had
a powerful effect on the minds of the men. It has beenput
forward by the men for most part in a soldier-like and re-
spectful manner, after the first excitement had passed away,
consequent upon the orders and warnings of the com-
mander-in-chief. Such being the case, and it being the
desire of the Government of India that there should not
be even an appearance of injustice done to any soldier, his
Excellency the Viceroy and Governor-General of India in
Council has determined, with the full concurrence of the
Right Hon. the Commander-in-Chief, that every non-
commissioned officer and soldier in the three presidencies
who enlisted for the East India Company's forces shall, if
he desire it, be allowed to take his discharge under the
provisions of the act for limiting the time of service in the
army, which directs that soldiers taking their discharge
shall be conveyed to England, and there finally discharged ;
and that in the meanwhile they shall continue to be subject
to the Mutiny Act and the Articles of War."
There was no other course, we are persuaded,
open to the government. After the emphatic decla-
ration of Lord Palmerston that the men, in common
justice, would be entitled to their discharge, it was
impossible to withhold it, in the case of any who
might demand it. We learn again from this
order, that the government of Idia long since
submitted for the consideration of her Majesty's
Government the difficulty which had arisen,
and that the responsibility of the decision at last
announced does not rest with Lord Canning. The
mutiny at Berhampore, where the men it seems
have gone the length of entrenching themselves in
the barracks, and electing fresh officers, has preci-
pitated the resolution now announced, in which
Lord Canning has assumed, as we believe, a wise
responsibility. Mutiny is infectious, as we have
had too good experience. The troops are by this
order deprived of all legitimate ground of com-
plaint, and it becomes the loyal amongst them to
manifest a just indignation at these proceedings at
Berhampore, which nothing could justify or even
palliate.
From general orders elsewhere in our columns it
will be seen that important reductions in the nume-
rical strength of the native army are about to take
place. The step is in the right direction. We do
not want bayonets and artillery in the country ;
we want good government. The loyalty of the
people may easily be secured, if we set about con-
ciliating them in earnest.
We understand that the local government, fol-

lowing the example of Madras, has determined to
fortify the approaches to our harbour without
delay. We have heard the Middle ground is to
be raised, and batteries constructed thereon, and
upon Carajah and Cross Island, after the sugges•
tions of the late Colonel Jervis and General Wed-
clington.
