been offered the place of one of the King's Aides-de-
Camp, doubtless that which is vacant by the death of
M. Alexandre Laborde.

Gen. Pageot not having at first received this offer
with much eagerness, which IL Guizot had under-
taken to induce him to accept, the latter said to him
—"Don't you know, General, that Marshal Villars
was one of the aides-de-camp of Louis XIV. ?" We
do not know what General Pageot answered ; but he
might have reminded M. Guizot that Lous XIV. had
Ministers rather more jealous of the honour of the
country than his Majesty Louis Philippe's Ministers,
who in times of reverse, as well as of the most bril-
liant events, made all Europe respect the honour and
the name of France.

It is reported that the Due d'Aumale, when he
returns from Africa, will be appointed to the command
in chief of the National Guards of the department of
the Seine, and that General Jacqueminot will be only
second in command.

The Tartare, which has arrived at Toulon, has
brought news from Algiers of the 15th. Still the
Ministry has not yet published any report of General
Bugeaud.—Le Commerce, Oct. 23.
We have a letter from Algiers, of the 15th, which
says Since the departure of the last mail we have
no news of the column under the command of the
Governor-General. • There is every reason to sup-
pose that it has entered the province of Constantine.,
but we have nothing certain on the subject. The
greatest tranquility continues to prevail in the Mitidja,
and the Arab and French markets are very well
supplied."
The Echo de la Frontlere, under the head of Valen-
ciennes Oct. 22, has the following passage :
" The Chamber of Commerce of the Department of
the North have resolved to send delegates to Paris to
represent to the Government the injury 15 hich would
result to he several manufactures of our country from
the projected Customs' union with Belgium. They
have applied to the Chamber of ValencienneS-to know
whether it is intended to imitate them. If we are
rightly informed, the Chamber of Commerce has re-
solved not to send delegates, but to go in a body to
Paris to support their opinions to the utmost of their
power. M. de Marngoval, deputy of Valenciennes,
will, it is said, be requested to present to the Minister
the members of our Chamber of Commerce, who will
be joined by some of the chief manufacturers of our
district."
