being informed that the Beni Ouraghs had revolted, and were
waiting for him on the Oued Sensig, immediately marched thither,
and on the 11th, at six in the morning, was in the presence of
more than 3,000 insurgents. A very sharp combat ensued. Our
cavalry acted, as usual, with great vigour, and the enemy left a
considerable number of dead in our hands. The last courier from
Oran brings no news of interest. General de Lamoriciere had
sent no accounts later than the 4th, from which we infer that
he was still marching forward, and that no engagement had taken
place."

Another journal, published at Algiers, states that Colonel
Gritz, who was in the subdivision of Mostaganem and Mas-
cara, having heard that contingents had been furnished to
Bou-MAzA by the inhabitants of Calah, proceeded rapidly
against that town, took possession of it almost without firing
a gun, and gave it up to pillage • for two hours.
Two hundred and fifty Arabs were killed; only the
women and children were spared. The same paper
confirms the report in the Toulouse journal, which we pub-
lished yesterday, of the assassination of Captain BILLET and
some of his companions in the neighbourhood of Zebdou. It
says, " A new act of treachery by the Arabs has just cost the
lives of two excellent officers and some of our brave soldiers.
M. BILLET, chef de bataillon of the 41st of the line and com-
mandant of the post of Zebdou, had gone to visit the Caid of
one of the neighbouring tribes, who had sent for him. He
was accompanied by M. MATHIEU DE DOMBASLE, lieutenant
of the Zouaves, charged with Arab affairs, and was escorted
by five hussars of the 2d regiment. They were all assas-
sinated in the tribe."
The Constitutionnel, in reference to-the expenses of the new
expedition, says :—"ltappears that it will cost 20,000,000 f. The
expenses of the war against Morocco amounted to 20,000,000 f.
Nor can we be certain to be let off for that sum. But that
will depend alogether on the chances of war, and the diffi-
culties which the capture of the ex-Emir will present.
Should he resist longer than is expected, • should the ruses
which he will most probably employ to escape from us be
multiplied and prolonged, new credits must be demanded
under pain of having the campaign rendered abortive, and
the success of the soldiers compromised." There is no ex-
aggeration here. When the twenty millions of francs are
expended. We believe ABD-EL-KADER will be as far out of
reach as ever. The Moniteur -Acontains a royal ordon-
nance, calling out the fourteen thousand conscripts of
044, who had been allowed to remain at home; and
the Journal des Debats announces that the adjudication
of the greater part of the railways, voted last session, would
take place before the 15th of December, and that in a short
time the Finance Minister would fix the days for adjudica
tion. A private letter states that the French Government
had received a telegraphic dispatch announcing the arrival
of the Emperor of RUSSIA, and also the Emperor of AUSTRIA,
at Milan, on the 18th. The following are miscellaneous ex-
tracts flroin the papers:—
" On Monday morning, when the King set out from St. Cloud
for Chantilly, on arriving at the Porte d'Orleans, at the entrance
into the Bois de Boulogne, an officer of the escort, belonging to
the 7th Hussars, wished to pass at the same time as the carriage, in
order to mask the window, but the space was too narrow to allow
both to pass abreast. The officer was in consequence violently
crushed by the wheels, and had his thigh much torn. His horse,
which was also wounded, was borne to the ground with his rider.
The officer, notwithstanding, wished to continue his way, but the
King, who bad given orders to atop, would not permit it. The
wound will not, it is thought, prove dangerous.
" A letter from Florence states that the family of Prince Jerome
Bonaparte has just been afflicted with a most cruel misfortune.
The Prince de Montfort, the eldest son of the ex-King of West-
phalia, and brother of the Prince, who came to Paris this year, bas
been suddenly struck with mental alienation. He held in the
army of the King of Wurtemberg, his uncle, the rank of Colonel,
and it was at Stuttgard that the malady declared itself. He has
been removed from Germany to Florence to his family, but there
is not, it is said, much hope of cure.
" Captain Olivier, the newly-appointed Governor of Senegal, is
to take his departure from Brest in the course of a week for the
- seat of his Government, in the steamer Phoque, which will remain
at his disposal, and explore the river as high as the cataracts of
Govine.
" The Corsican journals publish a long account of a dinner
given by some of the principal inhabitants of Ajaccio, in honour
of the visit of M. Odilon Barrot, who had arrived there a few days
previously. In returning thanks for the toast to his health, M.
Barrot made an animated speech, in which he informed the com-
pany that his visit to Corsica was for the purpose of making him.
self better acquainted with its wants and its resources, and ex-
pressed his indignation at the attempts which had sometimes been
made to describe Corsica rather as a foreign colony than an essential
part of the French kingdom. On the 30th ult, M. Barrot left
Ajaccio for a tour in the interior."
