The Moniteur publishes a royal ordinance, authorising
the Minister for Foreign Affairs to open a supplementary
credit of 150,000 francs, " for travelling expenses and
Couriers."

The same journal contains a fresh notice of tho
Ministry of Public Works, stating that the laying down
of the rails and the working of the Orleans and Bordeaux
and the Orleans and Vierzon rail-roads, with branch
roads on Chateauroux and Bourges, would be publicly
adjudicated on the sth of October next.
The Paine says :—" We are assured that a military
ceremony will take place on the occasion of the return
of the Prince de Joinville to Paris, and that his Royal
Highness will make a triumphal entry.
The funeral obsequies of M. Camille Porier took place
on Tuesday, in the church of the Madeleine, at eleven
o'clock. The corners of the pall were held by General
Exeelmans, General Doguereau, Count d'Argout, and
M. Agier, president of the Cour Royale of Paris. In
addition to the grand deputation of the Chamber of
Peers, a great number of functionaries and financial
notabilities were present. The Municipal Council of
Chatou, of which place the deceased was mayor for
the last twelve years, and a deputation of the National
Guard, also attended to pay a last mark of respect to
his memory. After the religious ceremony, the mortal
remains of the deceased were interred at Pare la Chaise.
A new 20-gun brig, called the Panne, was launched at
Cherbourg on the 14th.
The Courrier du Havre states that Quenisset, who
attempted to assassinate the Duke d'Aumale, when he
was entering Paris at the head of his regiment, has been
arrested at New Orleans, on a charge of an attempt to
commit a murder.

The Steele states that the accounts connected with the
late war with Morocco are being made up by the War
and Marine Departments, and that they already amount
to 20 millions of francs.

Espartero, the Quotidienne states, is expected to pass
through Paris in the course of next month, on his way
into Italy, he having been for some time in a weak state
of health.

The Independence of Brussels states that, when the
King of the Belgians was last at Ardennes, he re-
ceived an injury in the leg, whilst shooting, which, al-
though not serious, prevents him for the present from
getting on horseback, and therefore he will not this year
pass in review the troops at the camp of Beverloo.
Accounts from Barcelona, of the 10th, state that some
disturbance had taken place in that city, in consequence
of some young men, who fell within the conscription,
meeting, endeavouring to obtain an interview with
the Baron de Meer. They were easily dispersed, and
the latest accounts state that the public peace has not
since been disturbed.

We read in a letter from Vittoria of the ith:—" Yes-
terday Don Gasper Jauregui, who is second in com-
mand in the Basque provinces, left at the head of a de-
tachment of cavalry, for the purpose of ascertaining if
there is any truth in the report that from forty to sixty
men have entered Spain from France, with a view of
proclaiming Carlos V."
A letter from Turin, in the Augsburg Gazette, says:—
" The treaty of commerce concluded between France
and our Government, although ratified, may not be exe-
cuted. Our Court had at first complained that the dura-
tion of the treaty had been diminished to two years ;
now it brings forward another grievance. By the terms
of the treaty of August, 1842, fruits imported from Sar-
dinia into France were to obtain a diminution of Cus-
toms' duty of 25 per cent. The principality of Monaco,
which imports 200,000 f. worth of oranges and lemons
a year into France, has proposed to the Cabinet of the
Tuileries to admit into her ports French vessels free of
all duties, provided she was allowed to enjoy the same
advantages as Sardinia. This proposition was agreed
to by the French Government. Our Cabinet pretends
that this arrangement is prejudicial to the commercial
interests of Piedmont. Notes have been exchanged be-
tween the two Governments, and ours threatens to re-
gard the treaty as null, if the treaty made with Monaco
be not broken off."

The want of water has been, it appears, so great at
Ancona this summer, that the municipal administration
was obliged to take charge of the distribution, among
the inhabitants, of the water contained in the private
cisterns, as is the case when a town is in a state of
blockade.

The Bremen Gazette quotes a letter of the 9th instant
from Berlin, saying—" The Kcenigsberg Gazette is pro-
hibited in Russia and Poland. All books of psalms are
cut open on the frontier, in order to ascertain whether
they conceal any insurrectionary proclamations. Books
in the Hebrew language, printed at Koratschin, in Posen,
also undergo a very strict scrutiny, and passages in them
are effaced." _ _ .

The Augsburg Gazette gives a letter from Lubeck,
dated the 6th instant, which says that a treaty of navi-
gation has been concluded at Paris between Lubeck aid
one of the greater States of Italy, upon a pure principle
of reciprocity.
The Berlin Gazette positively contradicts the state-
ment that the importation of corn from Poland is inter-
dicted.
