FROM FRANCE.
We have received by the packet ship
Iowa at New York, our files of Paris pa
prrs to Dec. 6. The subject which excl.
ted the deepest interest IN France at the
moment was the war in Algicrs. There
had. however, been no Inter news from that
country than was received here through
our last London papers. The telegraph
was in active operation between Pans and
Tou lon, and the military and nava officers
at he latter place were fully employed.
Orders had been given to get ready as
many vessels as possible, and the steam
vessels had been ordered to Marseilles. to
take on board the 9Th regiment Of the line
: to be transported to Algiers. The ships
Alsiers and Neptune, Of the squadron oil
reserve, were also ordered TO be made rea
d. and prOvlsioned for receiving troops To
be transported to Africa. The Sd regi
ment of Light Infanry,ln garrison at Tou'
: lon, expected every moment to rece i've or
ders for Algiers.
