Fatouma III, Queen OF Mohsly, at the
Capital.

Paris (Jitly 81 Cor. of London Morning Star.
The Queen OF Mohely, Fatouma the Third (or
thirtetb, for l am not well up IN the history of
that isand) was received in Paris yesterday by
the Comte de Cambaceres, who has property in
Madagascar, and who spent several months
on visit to her cousin King Radama. The
Comic SSon1 +, received SeT the Queen by few few
extreme surprise and pleasure she was
accompanied TO the Hotel du Louvre by
N. Passot, Chef de battalion of regiment of the
line, and by her sOn-ln-law and cook. Her
Majesty speaks French fuently, and without
the slightest accent. Her object in coming to
Government under the following circumstances:
Some years ago her husband, the King of the
country, was dethEoned, and, some way, killed.
Queen Fatouma, however, maintained that he
is yet alive, and having perhaps heard of the
distant expeditions undertaken Of late years by
the French tIC ops, has come to Paris to suggest
the release of her imprisoned sovereign and
husband as an appropriate object for treeh
one. Her Majesty wears French boos, scarlet
| trousers, fastened in at the ankle; dIadem
OF gold beneath several wells, which con-
ceal her featuresi the rest of her per-
white burnous. She Is extremely small, has
beautiful shining hair very white teeth, and
coppercolored skin. Her first request on
! arriving at the Hotel du Louvre was tor bath.
! Her cook decapitated fowl with sabre which
| hung by his side, after which ceremony the
! detunct bird was handed TO the cooks OF the
! hotel to be dressed Tor the Queens dinner. The
maid, who looks as it she had stepped off an
Etruscan vase, sleeps at the foot of her Majesty's
| bed. Her ears are adorned with gold earrings,
of which there are precisely similar in the Cam
! pana Museum. Queen Fatouma's palace at
| Mohely differs from those we are accustomed
| to see, inasmuch as it has no door. The walls
are scaled by ladders, and once an audience is
| concluded the ladders are withdrawn, and al
| ingress is impossible.
Proceedings OF tho Corps LegisIatIE
In the session of the French Corps Legislatif,
| July 8, the Marquis de Moustler reterriug to
German affairs, stated that it was in the interest
| OF peace that France had recourse to armamens,
| which had been, and would leman, an element
! OF peace. II the Government had no dispatches
10 lay on the table, it was because, in the inter
| est of peace, it had abstained from every irri-
tating controversy with Germany. The only
| despatch that had been written had been one
| in which the Government had explained
the true nature OF the interview at Salzburg,
! That interview concealed no warlike drTiere
| penSee. III the peaceful declarations OF the Gov
| ernment, so frequently reiterated, had not sue
| cPeded in removing all uneasiness, it was
because they had been met by peryerse incre
| duhty on the part OF the opposition. On July 10
NJ. Olivier called attention to the Droximate
meeting of the Qlcumenical Council. He eX
| pressed his opinion that the State ought to
throw no obstacles in the way OF the publ
cation in France of the Papal Bull convoklng
| the Council or of the departure of the French
| Bishops for Rome, but he thought it advisable
for the Government to abstain from taking
| any part in the Council. In conclusion, he
| argued that the Government should prepare a
law for the separation of Church aud Stale. NJ
Baroche, Minister of Public Worship, in reply,
stated that the Government pursued double
rule OF conduct-namely, the COncordat and the
principles of 'S9. 1t had not yet decided any
Thing with regard 10 the question whether
France should be repTesen ed ut the GCumeni-
cal Council OF not. and whether the decisions OF
the Council should be totally or partially admit
ted in France. With reference to the separation
OF Church and State, NJ BarOche said it was
necessary to leave time to solve this delicate
question.
