Most of the Ministers present in Paris proceeded on
Friday to St. Cloud to transact business with the Duke
de Nemours, who, according to some, had been appointed
Lieutenant• General of the Kingdom, and to others, mere
President of the Council, without a deliberating vote.
Marshal Souk is to manage the business of the Depart-
ments of Foreign Affairs and Marine during the ab-
sence of M. Guizot and Admiral Mackau. _ _ _

On Wednesday the Prince de Joinville was mingled
with the crowd visiting the tent in the Garden of the
Tuileries. His Royal Highness has become much sun-
burnt.

The Minister of Marino left Paris on Friday morning
for Eu.

The Revue de Paris states that the affianced bride of
his Royal Highness the Duke d'Aumale, the daughter
of the Prince de Salerno and neice of the Emperor of
Austria, is alike remarkable for personal beauty and
mental qualifications.
The Duke d'Aumale is expected at Paris about the
20th inst. The Prince will thence repair to Naples in
the beginning of November, the period fixed for his mar-
riage with the daughter of the Prince of Salerno, whom
he is to conduct to France after the nuptial ceremony.
The Duke de Montpensier is to accompany his brother
to Italy.
The famous parasol was exposed to view at the In-
valides on Friday. It is placed open, behind the iron
railings of the choir. The colours of Morocco are placed
on the pilasters at both sides of the grand altar.
The Messager, alluding to the rumour of the loss of
the Virginie, says:—" The correspondence, which has
arrived at the Ministry of Marine up to the present day,
contains nothing which can give the least foundation
to what has been rumoured on this subject. After a
short stay at Sainte Croix-de-T6:i4riffe, this frigate put
to sea again, on the 2d of August, in most favourable
weather, and since then no information has been re-
ceived to create any uneasiness as to the remainder of
the voyage."
The Revue de Paris announces that M. de Glucksbcrg
was to leave Paris on Saturday with the treaty concluded
between France and Morocco, and ratified by the two
contracting Powers.
The Courrier de la Drome gives the following statistic
of the produce of silk in the several departments of
France:—" Very little more than fifteen years have
passed since there were only six departments in which
there were extensive plantations of mulberry trees, for
the general rearing of silk-worms. To these might be
added sixteen others, in which this cultivation was
carried on, but on a limited scale, and in a precarious
manner. Now, however, forty-two new departments
have taken up this profitable employment of time and
capital; so that we have sixty-four out of the eighty-six
departments clothed with mulberry trees, and producing
silk in greater or lesser quantities.
The Moniteur contains a very long ordonnanee rela•
tive to the acquisition of property in Algeria, the gua•
rantees to purchasers, and the various points connected
with colonisation. The object of this ordonnance is to
remove the difficulties which, owing to an imperfect
legislation, have hitherto prevented the due development
of cobnial enterprise.
By royal ordonnance of September, 1844, the manu-
facture of gunpowder is formally prohibited in Algeria.
The importation of foreign gunpowder is also forbidden.
For the future no powder is to. be sold in Algeria but
such as comes from the royal manufactory in France.
