EMIGRATION FROM FRANCE TO CALIFORNIA.
The Paris correspondent of the London papers
says
/ have men toned in former letters that public
opinion, alarmed at the comparatively unfavorable
tenor of the accounts from California during the las:
two years. has been rather opposed to the project of
sending out emigrants there with the funds of the
Lingots dor lottery. one Of the reprsaches ad-
dressed by M. Reyre to the dismissed manager, Nj.
Lapgois, was that, in seeking to divert any part Of
the funds from their original destination, ne was
committing breach of contrac: with the public,
who must be taken to have counenanced the 10; cry
upon the faith that emigration to California was
the ole benetcent purpose to be furthered by 10.
The recent notice from the prefecture of police that
the Malouin would sail with en- grants from Hsvre
in few days, and would be speedily followed by
several other departures, sc emed to evin,e deter
miration on the part OF the new management to
Potrie announced that the Minister at War has
asked the government to apply the whole Of the
lottery funds in sending emgran.s to the central
agricultural dstr,ts Of Algeria.
Hoth the Nai0nlt and the Debats warmly oppose
the California project, which, indeed. does
cruel towards the unfortunate laborers whom 1t
proposes to carry out at the smallest possible cost,
and then TO leave them to their own resources with
the exception of fifteen days provisions with which
they were to be furnished. AT the end Of that time
II lie evident that NEST OF them ould find starvation
staring them in the face, uness-which the anxiety
manifested to send them to California leads one to
suspect-a co npany Of Spectators should be there
already, calculating upon taking advantage Of the
misery OF these men, to gain their services at low
price. If the interests Of the French colonies, and
Of the enigrants themselves, are to be ulted it
certainly seems that Algeria, with its br bad, uncu]
tya:ed lands, its want for population its regular
government, ara comparative proximity, offers q
better, or at least safer, field for emigration, than
tie lawless wilds of the distant gold regions. The
emigration to Algeria failed miserablv two years
ago, and most Of the emigrants returned wretehed
to FraIce.
Russian Domination In Central Asia.
The German Constitutional Gazate contains the

years ago the Persian army, directed by agents of
Russia, was repused under the walls Of Herat, and
England undertook the fatal expedition 70 Cabul,
led either by ambition or by desire to put end
TO the Russian influence the frontiers Of India.
Russia accepted the challenge, and marched an ex.
petition against Khiva. The two rivals accordingly
gave each other a rendezvous in the plains Of Bac.
trana, for, had the English succeeded in establish
ing themselves in Csbul aud the Russians in Khiva,
the pulks Of the Baskirs and Cossacks would have
soon come TO blows. Bat both expeditions failed,
and when England had avenged the honor Of her
arms by new expedition, and vigorously chastised
tbe Afghans, she defntively withdrew her armies
from the country, to achieve more easy and usefdl
conouests in Scir de and the Puojab. Russia alone
