Despatches received by the French Government, state
that the French garrison of Miliana, in the interior of
Algeria, has suffered a severe check. About 500 French
went to ravage the territory of the Mahildouar. Not a
house, nor a village, says Major Bisson, who commanded,
escaped the flames ; 6,000 oxen, 12,000 sheep. 100 pri-
soners, and a number of mules,laden with the richest effects,
were taken. The Arabs, visited by this wholesale -tic;
of robbery and destruction, to the number of 2,000,
attacked the French, closing an to man. The combat
laster half an hour, and the French commander says he
never found enemies so inveterate. The Arabs gave
them at length some respite, when the French retreat,ed.
The Arabs of rousse pursued, and succeeded in. rescuing
their flocks, though the mules laden with the household
wealth were brought away by the French in triumph-
This affair has been attended with. the loss of two car
tains, three lieutenants, four sub-lieutenants, four corpo.
rals, and thirty rank and file, with two officers and seve-
ral non-commissioned officers and privates wounded.
Count d'Appony, the Austrian Ambassador, returned
with his family to Paris on Satuday night, after an eh' 1,
sence on leave for eight months. On Sunday he visited . ;
the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and afterwards went to
the King and Royal family at Neuilly, where he paw,
the day.
A correspondent of the National at Toulon, in a basil"
postscript, to a letter with Levant and port news of re %1
interest, says—" A telegraphic dispatch arrived here, ,•,`
this evening (the date is not given), recalling the Prince
de Joinville to the Tuileries. Orders have been gien
to the steamer Sphinx to go after the squadron and brlng
back the captain of the Belle Poule. We are loss i" oti
conjectures as to the cause of this sudden recal." •
The Gazette de Madrid of the 21st of June says that :41
the Government is desirous that justice and firmness- • 1:
should preside over all' the acts of the ne,v Mitdatri•
This idea may be summed up in three points—fidelity t"
the Constitution, probity in administration, and the le
timate consequences of the Ist of• September. The Con'
stitution swor.' to represent the- three principles of e
th
Spanish monarchy—the throne of Isabella 11., a rePre.
sentative Government, and the Catholic religion. rr°-
bity will be the base of all the acts of the Governmesto
which will be true to the highest morality. A atri,
cs
publicity—a rigorous vigilance over those employee"
such will be the Minister's device. This is all too geu"
to be true. "Fine words butter no parsnips."

A letter of the 11th instant from Belgrade, quoted by
the Leipsic Gazette, says—" The Ottoman Gover°'
went has decided that, in future, the Rajahs of the pr'i;
vinces shall receive their letters and remittances, wh'e,
have hitherto been sent through the Austrian post, WY,
by the Turkish post. Now, as the mail for W)eres and
Salonica leaves Constantinople only twice a-week,
as that by Bulgaria is not yet organised, it may be Will
seen what a severe stroke trade and commerce must t
ceive from this resolution. Besides, the Rajahs are .
mistrustful and apprehensive, that they will not confiure,
either their letters or their money to the Turkisirr,
and hope that the Austrian Ambassador will interpes
in their favour."
The Austrian Observer states, under its Constariti'.
