FOREIGN.

On Monday evening their Majesties, the King and
Queen of the French, received the Pope's Nuncio, the
Turkish Ambassador, the Egyptian Princes, the Mi-
nisters of Bavaria and Saxony, M. de Lesseps, and the
Count de Grave.
The King left Paris on Tuesday night for the Chateau
d'Eu. He will, however, only remain there for two
days, after which he will return to Neuilly.
The Courrier Francais says :—" Some journals hare
announced that the King's journey to England was post-
poned until after the arrangement of the Otaheite affair.
It is now affirmed that this matter is settled, and that
the journey will take place speedily. A medal, destined
to perpetuate the remembrance of this visit, is already
being prepared at the Mint."
The Prince de Joinville, sari the Toulonnais of the Ist,
immediately after the arrival of the division at Cadiz,
was to repair in the Pluton steamer to Oran, to have an
interview with Marshal Bugeaud, thence he was to pro-
ceed to Bona, to see his brother, the Duke d'Aumale,
and from Bona to Toulon. On the Ist inst. all the au-
thorities of this last harbour were on the qui vive, ex-
pecting the Prince at every moment.
The Commerce states that the Prince is about to re-
turn to Paris, where he is expected to arrive about the
20th of the present month.
Orders have been received at Brest to put in commis-
sion the frigate Armide, and the advice boat Le Leger.
At Cherbourg, also, the advice boats Rossignol and
Cygogne are being fitted for sea with all expedition.
The following appears in the ilioniteur:—"A commis-
sion was appointed by the Governor of Senegal in 1843,
to report on the course of the River Fa'e lie, in Upper
Senegambia, and the gold mines in the countries of
Bondou and Bambouk. The Commission was composed
of M. Huart, a pharmacian of the navy ; M. Raffenel, a
clerk in the navy ; and M. Pottin Patterson, a native
resident. After long and laborious excursions, the
travellers quitted Faleme, and having arrived at the
upper course of the Gambia, descended by that river to
the English settlements, where they were received with
the most cordial sympathy. From St. Mary, Bathurst,
they returned by sea to St. Louis-de-Senegal. A report
of this expedition having been made to the King by the
Minister of the Marine, his Majesty has bestowed the
order of the Legion of Honour on M. Reffenel. The
same distinction had previously been conferred on M.
Iluart, on the occasion of an excursion in the Cayor, the
Yoliff, and on the banks of the lake Panieoul."
The same journal states that the Emperor of Morocco
has not quitted Mequinez, notwithstanding the gravi
of circumstances; for that town contains his treasure,
which is valued at fifty millions of francs, ranged in
earthen pots in the cellars of his palace, of which he
alone has the key. When he is absent, one of his sons
watches over the precious deposit. His sons being now
with the army, and the Emperor fearing that if he wero
to absent himself his treasure would be stolen, as that of
his predecessor was, he remains near it, surrounded by
his guard, which consists of about 6,000 men.
According to accounts from Toulon of the 31st of Au-
gust, a telegraphic dispatch had been received from
Paris by Admiral Bauden, the Maritime Prefect, to press
the arming of all vessels now on the stocks. The re-
cruiting of sailors was carried on to an extent as if pre-
parations were making for a formidable war. There ap-
peared to be a great difficulty in procuring able-bodied
men.

at Marseilles the journals of that port mention a nephew
of the King of Prussia, travelling under the name of
Count de Tucklenburg.

tween France, Prussia, Austria, and Russia, for the abo-
