assured them that his Government was most anxious to
fulfil its engagement towards its foreign creditors, and
that there was every reason to hope that the next Cortes
would devise measures to that effect. The Committee
were to wait upon M. Guizot on Saturday.
" We have forwarded to Dublin," says the Univers,
" the numerous addresses which have reached us from

the different parts of France, together with those signed
by the Catholics of Paris, expressive of their sympathy
for the illustrious prisoner of Richmond (O'Connell.) A
respectable clergyman, called by private affairs to the
capital of Ireland, kindly offered to take charge of them,
and to hand to Mr. O'Connell this testimonial of admira-
tion of Catholic France."

The Semaphore de Marseilles of the 21st instant, and
the Sud, the Ministerial journal of that city, announce
that a telegraphic dispatch was received on the preced.
inn.° day, at Toulon, ordering the immediate embarkation
of 20,000 mei for Algeria. These troops are intended to
replace those sent to reinforce the army of Marshal Bu-
geaud, on the frontier of Morocco.
" llussein Bey, son of Mehemet Ali, and Aehmet Bey,
son of Ibrahim Paella, have landed at Marseilles with
their suite, and taken up their temporary residence at the
Hotel d'Orient.

" Letters from Toulon state that the greatest activity
still prevails in that arsenal and port, and that steam-
boats have been ordered to Port Vendres to take on
board three regiments of cavalry to re-inforce Marshal
Bugeand. They also state that a report was very cur-
rent of Admiral Parceval Duchesne being ordered to the
Morocco coast, and announces as a fact that the In-

de Bible, line-of-battle ship, is ordered to join the
Prince's squadron, and that the Ocean, Marengo, and
Neptune are ordered to be in readiness for the same
service.

" The French papers continue to speak with great
bitterness of a treaty of commerce which they affirm to
hare been concluded between Sir Henry Hardinge and
the Pacha of Egypt; and they add that the Pacha, has
accepted of the protection of England They say that
by the treaty England has acquired the right to make a
railway across the Isthmus of Suez, and to introduce her
goods into Egypt at a greatly reduced rate of duty."
The Reforme of Friday states that a reinforcement
of two companies of Engineers and a company of Ar-
tillerymen was to be forthwith embarked at Toulon,
for the squadron of the Prince
DE J OINVILLE. It
was stated, on the other hand, that orders were dis-
patched from the Ministry of War, on Thursday, to
ship two additional regiments of Infantry and a regi-
ment of Lancers for Africa. •

An article published by the Basle Gazette, of

le 19th inst., would indicate that the Valais was on

the point of being invaded by volunteers from the
neighbouring cantons. " Enlistments to that effect,"
it says—

" Were making on a large scale in the districts of Aigle
and other different points along the lake. At 0 achy
two hogsheads full of ball cartridges were embarked for
Lower Valais, and concealed in a small tower near the

lake. Muskets, purchased at St. Etienne, were also for-
warded to the same destination. It was reported that
the Valais intended to sPparate from Switzerland and
unite with Piedmont."

The Journal des Debats-:publishes the following
letter, dated Posen, the 4th inst.
" The chief of the police of the Grand Duchy of Posen-
the:Aulic Councillor de Valentini, has just been arrested
and lodged in solitary confinement. The following are
the facts that led to the adoption of this rigorous mea-
sure, which produced here an extraordinary sensation :
Some time ago M. de Valentini received orders from the
Minister of Police to arrest a M. Malczewski, a Polish
refugee, who was accused by the Government of this
country of fomenting disturbances by the circulation of
revolutionary writings. When the police agents pre-
sented themselves at the domicile of M. Malczewski to
secure his person, they found that he had absconded the
night before. They seized his papers, and discovered
among them a letter, not signed, in which M. Malczewski
was informed that he would be arrested on the following
morning. Inquiries were made, and it was ascertained
that the handwriting was that of a bookseller of Posen,
M. Zupanski, a native of Greece. The latter denied
it at first, but as he declined to do so on oath he was

carried to prison. There he confessed having written
the letter, but obstinately refused to tell how he knew
that un arrest warrant had been issued against M.
Malczewski. In the meantime, however, the President

of the Administration of the Grand Duchy, having
heard that M. de Valentini was very intimate with M.
Zupanski, ordered him to be likewise arrested, and he
confessed having told M. Zupanski in confidence that he
had received the warrant in question. Although M.
Zupanski had refused to disclose the name of his in-
former, he was nevertheless set at liberty. The pro-
ceedings against the chief of the police are conducted
with the greatest activity. Whe❑ concluded, the re-
ports will be forwarded to the Supreme Court, sitting at
Berlin, to which delinquent functionaries of the higher
order are amenable. The offence of M. de Valentini is
denominated in our laws an abuse of confidence towards
the Government, and is punished by hard labour for a
limited period, or for life, according to circumstances."

1,000 to 1,200 tents, among which was that of the
Emperor's son, his parasol, the insignia of his com-
mand, all his personal baggage, a considerable quavi-
ti ty of warlike stores, and an immense booty, remained

in our power.
" The enemy left about 800 killed on the field of
battle. Our losses, although severe, are light when
we consider the importance of the battle, which we
will call the battle of Isly."

previously to proceeding to the Isle of Wight.—Post.
