A letter from Eu, dated Wednesday, says :—;=" The
King, accompanied by the President of the Council,
the Minister of Finance, Baron Humboldt, Generals
Teste and Colbert, Colonels Dumas and De Tinan,
his Aides-de-Camp, the Marquis de Strada, his Chief
Equerry, the Captain of Engineers, charged with the
military works going on at present, Messrs. Fontaine
and De Cailleux, and several orderlyffi officers, set out
for Treport at three o'clock. His Majesty went round
the battery of that town, and then proceeded to Mers
and examined the battery established there. Every-
where throughout his passage his Majesty was greeted
with loud acclamations. His Majesty's health appears
excellent.

The prosecution against the Directors of the Paris
and Versailles Railroad (left hank), founded on the
catastrophe of Bth May last, is fixed for trial on No-
vember 22 ; more than sixty witnesses have already
been heard by the examining Magistrate.
The French King and the Royal Family will not
return to St. Cloud before the 28th or 30th of this
month. Marshal Soult, who is now at Eu, will re-
turn to Paris at the same time.

The Duke d'Aumale will shortly go to Africa, to
take a command. Orders to this effect were sent a
week ago to General Bugeaud.
A letter from Valencia contains the following state-
ment :—" Frightful storms have done immense da-
mage at Alzira and Carthagena ; quantities of hail
fell, and some hailstones fell which weighed no less
than eight pounds (octo libras). The Regent has
ordered an inquiry into the extent of the disaster, and
to give all possible assistance to the sufferers."
According to a return of the proceeds of the beet-
root sugar manufacturers, published by the Minister
of Finance, the number of manufacturers in France
on the Ist of September last, was 400, the quantity
of sugar manufactured during the season (1841-42)
amounted to 31,234,954 kilogrammes, and the duties
levied thereon produced 5,887,410 f. The manufacto-
ries increased by 11, as compared with th-3 nuniter
existing in 1841.
The adjudicati'm of the contracts for the third and
last portion of the railroad between Paris and the
Belgian frontier, within the Seine et Oise, from the
Sanceron to the limits of the department, will be de-
cided on the 21st October next, at Versailles. Thus
the first section of this northern road, extending from
Paris to Creil, a distance of 41 miles, will be entirely
contracted for. _ _ _

We learn from Brussels that the King caught cold
on his journey to Ardenne, and has returned to Brus-
sels rather indisposed in consequence.
His Highness Prince Michael Stourdza, Prince
Regent of Moldavia, accompanied by the Princess,
and by his brother General Stourdza, has just arrived
at Brussels. The Prince came from Holland, and is
going to Germany.
The Sentinelle of Toulon states that General La-
moriciere had a slight affair with Abd-el-Kader, near
'Mascara, on the 30th ult., and on the following day a
regular engagement, in which the Arabs, who are
stated to have been more than 3,000 in number, were
completely defeated.
A letter from Toulon says :—" The departure -of
the Prussian Prince Lyehnowski for Nice has taken
place. The General, who was in the service of Don
Carlos, arrived lately in the Venus frigate, from Bar-
celona, from which town he had been expelled. His
intentei was to proceed to Frankfort, through France,
but, in consequence of orders sent from Paris, he was
conducted towards the Var, under the escort of a
police agent, who was not to quit him until he had
passed the frontier. These orders were executed to
the leiter."
The Observateur de l' Aisne has an account of a con-
flict which took place, a few days ago, between the
French and German labourers employed in cutting
the canal which is to form the union between the
Aisne and the Marne. About ten men were wounded,
and the house of the German foreman was pillaged.
It was put an end to by the interference of the gen-
darmes, and the arrest of abeut 15 of the most violent.
