The Pharamond steamer arrived at Marseilles on
the 17th, from Algiers, which she left on the 15th.
She brings no news of importance respecting the
army, or the movements of ABD-EL-KADER. On the
14th a Te Deum, at which Marshal BUGEAUD and all
the civil and military authorities were present, was
performed at the principal church of Algiers for the
victory of Isly.

nature that lam almost induced to withhold it. It
is said the health of the Queen of Spain is in an
alarming state, so much so, that Queen Christina has
taken precautions to secure the Regency fa. herself

It may be that the march of troops for Navarre is
not unconnected with the health of her Majesty ; as
her death at the present moment would infallibly
cause a general rising of the Carlists. —Post.
SOUTHAMPTON, SATURDAY AFTERNOON. - The
Pacha, Oriental and Peninsular steam-ship, Captain
Burney, arrived this afternoon at half-past three
o'clock, bringing the Peninsular mails and the fol-
lowing passengers :—Captain Taylor, Mr. Annesley,
Colonel Brown, son, and three servants, Mr. Allan,
Mr. Sallar, Mr. Corridor, Mr. Beddome, Mr. Martin,
Mr. E. Bailham, Mr. A. Bluck, P. Felmires, and
the Hon. F. Ellis, son of Lord Howard de Walden.
Her dates of departure are from Gibraltar, Sep-
tember 13; Cadiz, 14; Lisbon, 15. Her Majesty's
ship, Warspite, the steamers Sydenham and Vesu-
vius, were at Gibraltar, as likewise the Danish frigate
Thetis, and Hecla steamer. At Cadiz were the
French ships -:r
emmapes, 90, and Suffren, 90, with
the flag of the Prince de Joinville, the brigs Cassard
and Pandone and steamers Montezuma Espadole,
Vedette, and Basilie ; also two Spanish brigs of war
and two steamers. At Lisbon were one French cor-
vette, one Portuguese frigate, a corvette, and her Ma-
jesty's ship, Caledonia. Her Majesty's ship, Albion,
from Tangiers, arrived at Gibraltar on the 12th of
September, and on the same day sailed the Vesuvius
with the British Minister, Mr. Bulwer, on board.
The Pacha spoke the brig Amanda, of Leith, off
Oporto, bound in, all well. She had fine weather,
with light valiable winds the whole passage. She
brings four oxen.

and they all ridicule the ennobling of Marshal
BIIGEAUD.
"We are sorry for the worthy Marshal," says the
Constitutionnel," and his well-known good sense will no
doubt induce him to think as we do, that the Ministry,
in creating him a Duke, intended to do him no service.
France has lost all taste for titles of nobibity, and the
legislators of 1830 perfectly appreciated the sentiment of
the country when they suppressed the penalties enacted
against the illegal assumption of honorary distinctions.
Public opinion admits and tolerates through habit aris-
tocratic denominations transmitted by inheritance, or
conferred by the empire. Beyond these, every duke,
count, or baron, has to encounter the unavoidable shafts
of ridicule. The laurels of Isly will not protect the
new duke against them, and we regret it. M. Bugeaud,
who was so long the point of attack of extreme parties,
had succeeded in silencing them, and securing to himself,
as a military man, the legitimate respect of his political
opponents. Why counteract that fortunate change in
public opinion which rendered full justice to one of the
most distinguished men in the country ? Why spoil
the effect of a victory, and wound, for mere amusement,
the susceptibilites which a great number of zealous
friends of the institutions of July feel as lively as the
partisans of Radical opinions ?"
The Reforme of Saturday has a long article on the
subject of Irish affairs, in which O'CONNELL 13 rated
soundly for not holding the Clontarf meeting. "By
holding that meeting," it says,
" He would have placed himself in the situation which
he occupied before his contest with the Queen's Bench ;
he would have consecrated the rights of Ireland and his
own, and gained a moral victory ; whilst, by abandoning
that resolution, he evinces uncertainty and fear, and in
politics such an admission is an irreparable defeat."
The article concludes in these words :
" O'Connell cannot now destroy his own work. The
seeds of liberty and independence which he has sown
from his triumphal car have sprung up and extended over
the green hills of his country. His past services and
his influence, his new police and his new allies, will tend
to retard the day of emancipation. Mirabeau also
attempted to stay the march of a naticn ; he was carried
along, and overwhelmed by the immense torrent. The
same fate awaits O'Connell ; he may quietly retire to
Derrynane Abbey, to rest after the struggle ; twenty
Irishmen will be found, who have regarded as serious his
patriotic harangues, to take his place. Uno avulso non
deficit alter."

The Moniteur Parisien announces the return of
Marshal SOULT to Paris for the 28th inst.
The Constitutionnel says—
" All serious affairs are postponed until after the
King's voyage. On his Majesty's return will be dis-
cussed the new mode of raising the loan, and the list of
the names which are to appear in the next promotion to
the Peerage will be definitively settled. It will, it is
said, be very numerous. The following are already
mentioned as being designed to participate in the promo-
tion—viz., Generals Jacqueminot, Doguereau, Bonne-
main, and Durrieu ; Baron de Sers, Prefect of the
Gironde ; MM. Benjamin Delessert and Pedre Lacaze,
formerly Deputies ; MM. Debelleyine, De Marmier, and
De Montozon, now Deputies ; and M. Victor Hugo and
Marshal Bugeaud. As to M. St. Marc Girardin, we can
affirm that he is not to be included in this promotion."
The Globe of Friday, in the course of an article on
the subject of a communication, by railroad or canal,
between Alexandria and Suez, says—
" The reports that have been spread as to the secret
machinations of Russia and England, for dividing the
East between them, has been completely, and, in a mea-
sure, officially denied. The English Cabinet, called
upon for an explanation, has declared that they were en-
tirely unfounded. Consequently there remains nothing
of these pretended secret treaties but the overtures made
by the English East India Company to the Pasha, of
Egypt, for the improvement of the communication be-
tween Europe and Asia, across the Isthmus of Suez, by
means of either a canal or a railroad, uniting the Medi-
terranean with the Red Sea. Surely nothing can be
more simple, more natural, more to be wished for, for
the benefit of all nations, than the realisation of such a
plan."
It is evident, from the following article in the Na-
tional, that the progress of the reorganization of the
Polytechnic School is destined to encounter a serious
opposition :
" The Committee appointed to organise, or rather to
disorganise, the Polytechnic School, is not yet prepared
to execute its monstrous commission. It even appears
that some of its members shrink from the responsibility
which they incur in the eyes of France in making any
change in an institution of which it has hitherto been so
proud. In the first place, M. Tupinier has excused him-
self on account of ill-health, and he has been replaced by
General Tholoze. M. Dode de la Bouneire, a General
of Engineers, was appointed President of the Committee,
an officer who occupied a distinguished rank amongst
the students of the school ; but he did not wish to com-
promise his reputation, and he resigned the Presidency,
which was then offered to M. Doguereau. M. Doguereau
is a Deputy who never speaks in the Chamber except on
the subject of bullets. This person has placed himself
at the head of what is called the party of military re-
action. He asks what necessity there exists for a poly-
technic school ? He asserts that it is necessary to sweep
away the science of mathematics, which has produced so
11:11114V incipppodent characters. Let the Committee pro-
eol. This long-established school has representatives
in the two Chambers, in the army, in the navy, in the
press, and in every public department. The Committee
will have to account to public opinion, and we shall see
whether M. Doguereau, M. d'Haubersatr, and others,
will be bold en0u,2,11 to destroy what fifty years of con
stant application had raised."
