Some of the journals again advert to Lieut. WAGILORN.3
remarkable journey from Alexandria to Trieste and Germany
to London. The Epoque regards it as a very serious affair,
and thus urges the Government to take immediate steps to
counteract the injury it might do to France :

" Whatever may be the ultimate results of this enterprise, it is
in itself a heinous fact, which ought to awaken alt the solicitude of
our Government, and induce it to take the most prompt measures
to prevent the consequences which would ensure from it to our
commerce, should it succeed. The presence of Count Stadion, the
Aulic Commissioner, and the directing of the Lloyd's company, on
the arrival of Mr. Waghorn's boat, the congratulations given to
him, the earnest zeal with which Austria lent her aid to him, faci-
litating by all possible means the success of this his first attempt,
the incessant efforts of Trieste to aggrandise itself at the expense
of Marseilles, disputing with our port the trade with the richest
markets of Asia, disclose a well-conceived and concocted plan in
forming and establishing this league of rival interests. To these
indications of au indefatigable competition, it is advisable to oppose
an equally strenuous opposition. It is at this price alone that we
can maintain our rights as a great nation, and make our strength
and power manifest."

The Col!stitationne/ publishes, from a letter dated Palermo,
the following Court gossip. It certainly places the Duke
DE MONTEBELLO in a very Contemptible light:—

•` It was not without surprise that the Duke de Montebello, the
French Ambassador. was seen to arrive at Palermo on the 30th
ult. A Ministerial journal confines itself to stating that he had
scarcely landed when he had an audience of the King, and that
he returned the following day to Naples. On the srbject of this
visit we have received the following details :—" Without any
communication with the other members of the diplomatic
body, M. de Montebello took it into his head to go and
make his court to the Emperor of Russia. With this intent
Ise left Naples on the 30th, with only a single servant, and
without any other suite, by the Narval. Instantly on his arrival
at Palermo he waited on the King of Naples, who did not by
any means expect such a visit, and acquainted him with his
intention His Sicilian Majesty replied that the Emperor
of Russia had expressed his desire to be treated as a simple tra..
yeller, and therefore the foreign ambassadors had not been con-
voked. His Majesty concluded by recommending the Duke to
relinquish his intention. M. de Montebello could not but yield to
his Majesty's advice, given as it was with the utmost politeness,
took leave of the King, went and passed the night on board the
steamer, and returned the next day to Naples. It seems that this
foolish enterprise of our ambassador arose out of an idea of his
own brain. He evidently fancied that, inspired by his natural
genius, he could by going over reconcile the Court of Russia with
that of France. He had obtained leave to quit his post, and come
and pass some days in France; but on learning that the Czar was
coming into the kingdom of the Two Sicilies, he suddenly re.
nounced *this journey to Paris. He it was who first conceived the
notion of offering to the Empress the palace at Palermo., which
belongs to the King and Queen of the French, but the Neapolitan
Government cooly intimated to him that the King had not for-
gotten to provide a suitable residence for her Imperial Majesty.
Is not this sufficient to recall to mind the dictum of Prince: Talley-
rand—`above all, no seal."

The Cour/4er Francais has a paragraph respecting the EM-
PEROR himself no less curious. It says :—" According to a
report in general circulation in diplomatic circles, the Em-
peror NICHOLAS proposes to abdicate the supreme power,
and with this view left the reins of Government at his de-
parture from Italy, in the hands of the heir presumptive to
the Throne." The writer adds :—" This becomes probable
when we consider that PETER the GREAT, by a ukase de-
clared that his descendants, on attaining a reign of 25 years,
should have a right to issue ukases in their own name with-
out the participation of the Senate. It is generally known
in Russia that no CZAR ever reigned for so long a period as
25 years; and if NICHOLAS should abdicate, perhaps this
ukase may have been an influential cause of his resolution."
The following are other extracts from the papers :

The France says :—" Yesterday at ten o'clock in the morning,
in all the churches of Paris, number of the faithful crowded round
;he alters to thank God and send up their ardent prayers. Re-
ligious faith and monarchial faith posses. m)steries of consolat ion
and hope."—By way of solving this enigmatical paragraph to the
uninitiated, we must remind them that the marriage of the sister of
the Duke de Bordeaux took place yesterday at Frohsdort"
The Archimede left Sues on September 22, stopped for a
few hours only, on the 29th, at Aden, and then went on to the
southern point of Ceylon. She will make a short stay at Macao,
and bring M. Lagrene to Suez. He will return through Egypt.
The Cleopatra will also return to France, so that only two ships
will remain with Admiral Cecille.
The Augsburgh Gazette gives the following from Athens, 26th
ult. :—" The note which the Opposition has been se long ex-
pecting from London, is arrived at last, bat it does not appear to
be very satisfactory to them, as it is not so much talked about as it
was before. It is said to be in accordance with the sentiments of
Sir Edmund Lyons. It is certain that it demands payment of one-
third of the arrears of interesr due to England, and the guarantee
of the loan. It is also reported that Russia has made the same
demand, and that her Charge d'Affaires has received instructions
on the subject through the Russian Ambassador at London. The
French Legation has not received any such orders, which is held to
be significative of the cordial understanding. The note urges a
reduction of the army, but this is repelled by the Chamber, which
yesterday voted the budget of the Minister of War without any
diminution. Recently twenty Greeks were massacred by the
Turks on the frontier. It is important to bring this fact to the
public knowledge, for if a Turk is killed an outcry is raised as if the
Ottoman empire were in danger; but the murder of a Greek is
spoken of as a natural occnrrencc."
" The last decision signed by Marshal Soult," says the Presse,
" relates to the clothing of the cavalry and of the squadrons of
the artillery trains. He wished, it is said, before quitting the
Ministry, to attach his name to a regulation which should settle
definitiveiy the numerous experiments made in the clothing of
these troops by committees appointed for that purpose. The de-
parture of the Marshal has been signalised by favours of various
kinds. Several decorations have been given in the bureaux, ad-
vancements have taken place amongst the employes of all ranks,
and individual presents have been distributed."

The Paris llloniteur announces the resignation of Marshal
Sous.* as Minister of War, and the appointment of General
ST. YoN to be his snccesor. These and other military
changes are made known by five royal ordonnances, dated
the 10th. The first runs thus :—" Marshal SOULT, Duke of
Dalmatia, having represented to us, to our very great regret, the
impossibility in his state of health of continuing the functions
of Minister Secretary of State of War, and being desirous of
preserving the co-operation of his talents and long experience
in affairs, we have ordained and do ordain as follows :—Mar-
shal So ULT, Duke de Dalmatie, ceasing his functions as Minis-
ter Secretary of State of War, will retain the Presidency of
our Council of Ministers." A second ordonnance of the same
date appoints Lieutenant-General MOLINE DE SAINT YON
Minister of War; a third appoints the Baron MAR-
TINEAU DEs CHENES Under Secretary of State of
the War Department; a fourth raises General Mo-
LINE DE SAINT YON to the dignity of the peer-
age; and a fifth appoints General Baron GAZAN, director of
the personnel and military operations of the Ministry cf War,
in place of General MOLINE DE SAINT MN, and Major-
General Count DE LA RUE Director of the affairs of Algeria,
in place of M. VAUCHELLE, who has given in his resignation.
The accounts from Algiers in these papers is not of a favour-
able character. The Generals, it is true, had recommenced
the system of razzias, but these tended only the more to
rouse the natives against the French. Five additional tribes
had revolted from the French and joined AHD-EL-ICtDER.
BUGEAUD had signalised his arrival in Oran province by
a general razzia. 'What a contemptible warfare
for a distinguished officer ! We give the facts
from the Moniteur Algerien of the sth inst. :—" The
troops under the immediate command of the Governor-
General effected on the 27th ult. a very large razzia on the
insurgent tribes south of Tiaret and Teniet-el-Hatid. A co-
lumn of cavalry and infantry proceeded against the rebels,
who had fled, and fell upon them after two night marches.
Large numbers of cattle, and a considerable quantity of
booty_ of all kinds, remained in our hands. The enemy, who
had at first made a vigourous resistance, fled, leaving nearly
300 dead on the ground. Our losses are insignificant, in
comparison with so great a result. Thus, ten days after
leaving Algiers, the troops under the orders of the Marshal
were striking energetic blows at a distance of 90 leagues
from this place, and showing the tribes that they may be
reached at whatever distance they may be." The Presse
makes the following indignant remarks on the hors ible war-
fare carried on by the Marshal
" Not a report arrives from the army of Africa which does not
contain a formal condemnation of the system persevered in by
Marshal Bugeaud. We read in the report of General de Bar, ad-
dressed under date of Oct. 30, to the Minister of War :—' The
Governor-General charged me to have the honour of informing
you that all the insurgent tribes had fled twenty leagues before
him ;' that the insurrection had ceased to advance towards the east,
And that he was employing all imaginable means to endeavour to
reach the emigrating tribes who are placing between themselves
and our colony spaces too considerable to be passed through in
one night.' Here, then, we have Marshal Bugeaud occupied in
driving the populations from the west, and declaring that they
place spaces between them too great to permit him to reach them,
and consequently to stop them. Thus Marshal Bugeaud, not
comprehending the Emir's policy, favours his projects of esta-
blishing his sovereignty in Morocco, and there fixing a people
who by their mass may resist the Moorish populations, and create
resources to enable him to live. It is now fifteen years that we
possess Algeria; fifteen years that our statesmen seek to solve the
question of fixing the power of France firmly in that country;
fifteen years that the best forces of France are wasted there; and,
notwithstanding, it is not yet known what mode ought to be em-
ployed to attain that object. It is fifteen months since Abd-el-
Kader, driven out of Algeria, and forced to the west with the
remnant of his power, conceived the idea of founding an empire
in Morocco. What does he do to succeed ? He comprehends
that power does not lie in an army, but in a numerous popula-
tion ; his design is not to wage war with us, but to withdraw from
our rule the population which he wants, and which are to form
the bases of his empire. For that purpose he sets himself up as
an avenger of the oppressed natives ; strikes at Djemma Ghaxaouat
a terrible blow in reprisal for the burning at the Dana, and the
injuries which for more than a year we have extended over the
whole of Western Kabylia."
