POAZIGIN.

On Sunday Louis Philippe received the English Am-
bassador, the Minister of Marine, the Prussian and Tus-
can Ministers, and General Preval.
The King of the Belgians, accompanied by General
Hane and Baron d'Arnim, the Prussian Minister at Bel-
gium, left Bruv els, on Saturday, for Ostend, to receive
the Prince of Prussia on his return from England. The
Prince will not, says the Independence of Brussels, pro-
ceed to that city, but leave for Holland by Antwerp.
The Princess de Lieven has returned to Paris from
Baden and Dieppe, and taken her abode at the Hotel
Talleyrand, in the Rue St. Florentin.

The Pi ease announces that Captains Bruat, Governor
of the French establishments in Oceania, Le Pi &lour,
and Vaillant, are promoted to the rank of Capitaine de
Vaisseau—first class. The promotion of Captain Bruat
is in right of seniority.
The road between Rome and Naples is again infested
.by robbers ; and two diligences having been recently at-
tacked by them, travellers have been compelled to make
the voyage by sea, in French steamers.
General Pailhes, who resides generally at St. Germain.
en-Laye, but had gone to Estissac (in the Aube) for the
shooting season, was found on Thursday dead in one of
the coverts near Diery Saint Julien, with his dog couched
by his side. It has been ascertained that the cause of his
death was an attack of apoplexy.
The Groenland, which has just been lost on the coast
of Morocco, was built at Rochefort, and her engines
made at the foundry of M. llallette. She cost 820,000 f.
A steam-frigate, with her hull, masts, rigging, apparatus,
and armament complete, is reckoned upon an average to
be worth 3,000,000 fr., and this must be the estimated loss
of the Groenland. She was one of the four transatlantic
packets taken into the naval service for the Mediter-
ranean.

An officer who had perused the letters from Muley
Abderrhaman to his son, found in the tent of the latter,
writes, according to the Constitutionnel,—" We have
laughed heartily at the epithet with which the Sultan
salutes her Majesty of England on communication to
his son the note of Mr. Hay. ' See what is demanded of
me by this witch of a Queen (Chilana, in Arabic, signi-
fying a cursed or devil of a witch, or anything that may
be thought equivalent).' The whole of the great Chris-
tian family is placed on the same level by the spirit of
these fanatics."

The Courrier Francais., says Galignani, has another
long article abusing Sir Robert Wilson, the Governor of
Gibraltar, and imputing to him a series of intrigues
against French interests. We cannot conceive what the
Courrier means by these attacks, for they have not the
slightest foundation in truth. The public conduct of Sir
Robert Wilson, in his present position, is the best
answer to such calumnies.

The Journal de Rouen notices the following singular
rencontre :—Two days ago, at the moment when an
equestrian statue in bronze of the Duke of Wellington,
brought from Paris in the Luxor, was about to be landed
on the quay to be shipped for England, the Tancarville
arrived with the statue of Napoleon, destined by the
King to be erected at Ajaccio. They were consigned to
two different houses, between whom a dispute arose as
to the precedence in their being landed, during which
the effigies of the two great captains stood face to
face on the decks of their respective vessels. The
commandant of the port decided that Napoleon should
be the first landed, and the Duke the first to be re-
embarked.
