duped some of the leaders of the Opposition, as well
as the whole Republican
press, •
The Toulonnais gives the following as an instance of the dar-
ing courage of the Arabs :
• "In the recent return from Milianah, the tents were pitched
mid the soldiers were beginning to erjoy repose, when 'three
mrsttnted Arabs dashed into the camp, caught up three men,
!Ind made off with them before a single shot could be fired. On
nearing the cry raised in consequence, the Colonel of the let
Chasseurs galloped in pursuit of them, followed by a captain
and one of the privates. These three came up with the Arabs,
and would have cut them down, had they not dropped imme-
diately in their way the three men which they had taken.
,Tvie of these were alive, but the third was dead, having re-
ceived two balls in his body."

" ifho runs sits J read."

We do not find a single leading article in the Paris journals
received this morning of sufficient interest either extract or
analysis. Some of them are on the quest ion of the right of
search, and others are dry comments on the discussion in the
Chamber of heputies.
The Count de Pontois, says the Temps, will return to his
embassy at Constantinople in the course of next month, and
M. de Bourqueney will about the same time proceed to London
to act as Minister during the absence of the Count de St.
Aulaire, who, it-is said, is coming to France for three months.
The voting of the war estimates served as an occasion for
the small number of persons in the French Chamber, who
have much at heart the merciful administration of justice, and
the dread of military encroachment, to direct public attention,
first to the cruelty of the French administration in Algeria,
secondly to the menacing progress of the fortifications of Paris.
Summary judgments and decapitatitins have been exceedingly
common in the province of Constantine. There the French
commanding officer was wont in solemn precession to be pre-
ceded by the executioners, as was the case under the Mussul-
man Government.

The Gazette des Tribunaux denounced 44 capital punish-

. .
ments without trial or judgment in Constantine within a year.
General Negrier commanded there. Marshal Qoult was inter-
pellated on this subject on Friday. The Marshal admitted
the facts. He had, he said, demanded explanation on the sub-
ject from Africa, and had received one not altogether complete.
Still he derrecated the bringing forward such facts, because of
the untoward effect which the mention and discussion of them
had on the African tribes, and upon those about to submit,
who, it seems, read the Paris journals.
The fortifications of Paris have at length awakened some
fears amongst the Liberals. The monstrous extension of th e.
fortresses of Vibcennes and Mont Valerien, east and west of
the capital, the building of strong barracks within and adjoin-
ing the circular enclosure, with many other circumstances,
have given rise to fears. M. Lherbette accordingly proposed,
apropos of the twenty millions to be allotted in 1t343 to the
works of the fortifications of Paris, that cannon should not be
mountad on the ramparts unless in cise of actual war. M.
Lherbette warned the Chamber that cannon were not like
bayonets, which were merciful in the hands of the soldiery from
close contact with the population, whilst artillery had neither
intelligence nor mercy. The Ministers took no notice of these
remarks.

In 1840, the number of horses in France was 2,900,000;
there were but. 2,500,000 in 1825. In 1840 there were
68,000 considered fit for the cavalry, but it being undesirable
to take them, Government bought abroad. The cavalry horses
in France being from 30,00(1 to 40,000, the annual loss varies
from one-fifth to one-sixth. Eleven thousand were lost in
1841. The annual consumption of horses in }ranee is 250,000.
Lisbon Papers of the 22d inst. state that Lord Howard de
Walden gave a full dress dinner party on the 19th, in honour
of Queen Victoria's birth-day, to the Portuguese Ministers,
the Duke of Palmella, the Counts of Lariadio, Villa Real, and
Bowfin ; Senhors Id. F. Magalhaes, Silva Carvalho, and
Florida; M. Dietz, and M. Almeida. In the evening most of
the members of the diplomatic body paid visits to his Lordship.
A petition has been presented from Oporto, sign.d by thirty
firms of cloth dealers, in favour of the treaty with England,
and complaining, of the present high duties as only promoting
the introduction of Spanish woollens late Portugal, into which
they are now smuggled to a large extent.
The Prince Frederick of Hesse had arrived at Lisbon with a
Danish frigate and corvette, and was about to proceed with the
King and Queen on a visit to Curtha and Nafra, and after
spending a few days in Lisbon, would proceed to the coast of
Italy.
A letter from Warsaw, 14th inst., confirms the report that
the Russian army in Poland is,to.,be placed on the peace foot-
ing, and adds that accounts
.of Pronaotions and, rewards bestowed
upon Poles, on the recommendation of Prince Paskewitsch,
1
are received almost dailyin Warsaw.
It has already been stated that the Univeriity of Pisa has
been closed in consequettee 'of some excesses committed by the
students. The cologne Gazelle now adds that several of them
have been arrested:

of he Caledonia steamer has brought dates from New York
the 14th May, and copious extracts from the papers will be
,iild in another column. The accounts are generally looked
Pon as satisfactory, although but few orders for goods have
coon
over, it being considered that business, although limited,
now conducted on a safe basis. The non-settlement of the
tariff will, leis thought, form a great impediment to any in-
'l-e_ased demand for some time yet, as will the new loan also, as
being likely to absorb much of the floating capital
The markets for cotton are represented as being dearer than
they were at the sailing of the previous packet, which rise is
attributed to the accounts being more favourable, the receipts
in the present year are stated to have been 1,502,210 bales

,•,,itt,t' •to this country have been 703,599 bales in this year, against
'a,' . 484,699 in 1841, and 739,420 in 1840 ; the Stock shows an in Menge falling off in comparison with former years, being now
. but 294,944 bales, while the quantity in hand in 1841 was
357,211, and 635,230 in 1840.

The Canadian intelligence is also satisfactory, and several
extensive operations in produce had been entered into. The
buyers of flour were waiting advises from England, in order to
establish prices, which, however, had a downward tendency.
The Montreal Bank had reduced the premium for Bills on
' London to 94 per cent., and private Bills were quoted 884
per cent.
