" The King of the French," says the Revue de Paris,
" who left St. Cloud on Thursday for Eu, was to embark
at Treport for England on Sunday, if the weather per-
mitted, for the violent winds which have prevailed of late
in the Channel, might derange that plan. Steamers, sta-
tioned between Treport and Portsmouth, are to inform
the authorities of the approach of his Majesty, who will
arrive at Windsor on Monday. The King in Council
had conferred, by an ordinance, the powers of Lieu-
tenant-General of the Kingdom on the Duke de Nemours
during his absenee. The Duke is to exercise those func-
tions only in case of some extraordinary circumstances."
A. letter from Cherbourg of the 29th says:—" The

ment of forty four marine artillery has been embarked
on board the Gomer, twenty grenadiers of marine in•
!entry on board the Caiman, and twenty voltigeurs of
the same force on board the Elan. The Phoque steamer
has arrived from Brest with a band of musicians.
The King has conferred the Cross of Grand Officer of

rad of " A new Brutus :"—" The Commissary of Police

The following proclamation, says a letter from Oran,
was addressed by Muley Mohammed to the Arabs and
ICabyles the day before the battle of Isly. After having
reproached his regular and irregular troops with their
want of fervour in the war of religion, he says :—" Look
at the Christians (whom God confound !), they sleep all
tethnetsy,eaanrdonthtehye hard ground, scarcely sheltered by bad
watch night and day, dreading neither
beat nor cold. They drink bad water, and have scarcely
any food but what they get with great difficulty from
Oran ; and yet they are not fighting like you for reli-
gion ; they are not sustained by the hope of the celestial
rewards which are reserved for only true Mussulmans."
LAW AND POLXCB.
.Mr. Barr, a decorative painter, recovered a verdict in
the .Palace Court for 231. 4s. 6d., against Mr. Webster,
the Wilder of Christ Church, St. Pancras. The money
was alleged to be due for decorating the ceiling of the
church. The defendant pleaded that the work was im-
properly done, and the ceiling was patchy. On the

ing, the defendant had placed braziers of ignited coke
in the church, and that on finding that they had spoiled
the ceiling, he directed them to be removed, and nothing
to be said about the m:tter.
