POZZXG7ST.

A letter from Compiegne states that the Dukes de
Nemours and d'Aumale arrived there on the sth, at
half-past five in the morning. After breakfast, the
Princes and their suite proceeded to the Puits du Roi to
hunt. They returned at a quarter past six. The same
day the Prince and Princess de Joinville and the Du-
chess de Nemours arrived at Compiegne, at five in the
evening. There was a grand dinner, to which the gen-
tlemen engaged in the hunt were invited. On the 7th a
grand battue was to take place in the forest of Laigne.
The Duke de Montpensier was expected. Another hunt
was to take place on the Bth, at which the Princesses
were to be present.
On Friday, says the Commerce, the professors and
other officers took formal leave of General Boileau, the
late Commander of the Polytechnic School, who very
shortly after retired. Almost immediately thereupon
General Rostolan was installed in his place, and took
possession of his apartments. Another journal states
that the letters of convocation to the pupils have not been
sent out, and, therefore, that it is impossible that seven-
teen of them only having received no letters regt,rd
themselves as expelled. The Siecle, however, declares
that this expulsion has taken place, and publishes the
names of the pupils expelled.
Accounts from Africa state that Abd-el-Fader has
taken refuge near Miliana, a part of the country where
the jurisdiction of the Emperor of Morocco is not much
respected.

The Toulonnais says that Marshal Bugeaud has taken
the conclusion of the treaty of peace with Morocco so
much to heart, that it has made quite an old man of him.
" The treaty," says the Toulennais, " is, in fact, very
impolitic, but we should not have thought it would have
had so much influence on the mind of the Duke, for he
will break it whenever he finds it convenient to do so."
M. de Nyon, the French Consul-General at Tangiers,
arrived at Toulon on the 4th, from Morocco. The treaty
with France has been ratified by the Emperor of
Morocco, and a letter from a correspondent of the Debuts
gives the details of the interview between the Duke of
Glecksberg and the Pacha of Lambe upon the occasion.
A letter from St. Petersburg states that Count Orloff
is appointed President of the Council of the Military
School, in place of the late General Tolstoy.
The number of vessels which passed the Sound (lur-
ing the first nine months of this year amounts to 15,849
The Augsburgh Gazette, under its Prussian head,
states that the Superior 'fribunal of the censorship dis-
plays a great activity, and that almost daily the journals
contain proofs of the liberal spirit which presides over
its decisions.

The last accounts frem St. Petersburgh express re-
newed apprehensions as to the health of the Empress, the
complaint in her chest having become more and more
violent.

'rhe Augsburgh Gazette of the sth instant says :
" Prince Miksch has left Servia for Italy, where he will
make a long stay, his journey being induced by political
motives. The Cabinet of Vienna is said to have called
upon the Prince to clear himself from suspicion of hav-
ing been engaged in the late agitation of Servia, and,
it is added, the Prince has returned an assurance that
he has been a total stranger to those attempts at insur-
rection."
