FOR MIGMT.

One of the Paris papers erroneously stated that the
King on Tuesday had set out for the Chateau d'Eu. On
that day his Majesty, accompanied by General Friant,
Colonel Dumas, the Count de Strada, M. Fontaine, and
M. Cailleux, went to Versailles, where he was received
by the civil and military authorities, and remained till
near six o'clock, when he returned to Neuilly. In the
evening their Majesties received the Baden Minister, the
Belgian Charge d'Affaires, the Ministers of the Interior
and the Marine, M. A. Passy, Under Secretary of State
for the Interior, the Count de Pascalis, and the Prefect of
the Eure.

M. Thiers left Paris on Wednesday for Lille, where
he will remain for some weeks.

Among the various accounts of the battle of Isly, a
letter from Oran says:—" There were found with the
baggage taken from the enemy a number of chains, des-
tined for us, no doubt. The Moroccomen were so sure
of victory, that some of the inhabitants of Fez having
expressed fears of a contrary event, five of them were
dragged to the field in chains to be witnesses of our de-
feat. When their keepers saw the French coming upon
them, they wished to act them at liberty, but had not
time. Two of the five were killed in the melee, but we
saved the other three."

A letter from Copenhagen states that the Russian
fleet took its departure from Elsinore on the 26th ult.,
passed Copenhagen in the afternoon, and entered tho
Baltic.

A merchant from Lorgues, M. Chicusse, who failed a
short time ago for a sum of 200,000 f., and fled from his
creditors, was found last week drowned in the Rhone,
near Avignon.
Barce!ona papers of the 31st ult. mention the arrival
in that city of General Berthois, the well-know aide-de-
camp to Louis Philippe, the object of whose mission is
not explained.

A Callician Jew, of the name of Mohr, has published a
life of Baron Rothschild in Hebrew, which he has
entitled " Glory to Israel, Biography of Baron Roths-
child." M. Mohr declares, in the course of his narra-
tive, that up to the present time there are only three
great men among the chosen people of God—Moses,
David, and Rothschild.

A small farmer, named Pierre Guyonnet, aged 49, was
tried, three days ago, by the Court of Assize of the
Charente Inferiure, for the murder of his father, aged
SS. The evidence did not permit a reasonable doubt of
the guilt of the prisoner, and he was therefore found
guilty, and condemned to death.

A fire burst out on Monday night, at St. Priest, near
Chatres, and several houses were consumed. It is sup-
posed to be the act of an incendiary. The same village
has been several times on fire of late, and always, it is
thought, from the act of malevolent persons.
The oldest ship in the French navy is the Ocean, of
120 guns. She was launched in November, 1790. She
underwent a thorough repair at Brest in 1836.
A woman, named Chambellan, a green grocer, in the
Rue du Faubourg St. Antoine, was yesterday sentenced
by the Correctional Police to six weeks' imprisonment and
costs, for using false scales. The president, in passing
sentence, stated that the court was unusually severe,
because the prisoner's conduct chiefly affected the poorer
classes.
