FRANCE.  PARIS, Sept. 20. The Moniteur of this morning contains the following :—" The President of the Mexico Finance Committee at Paris informs the holders of Mexican renter and obligations that no remittance having been made to him by the Mexican Government for the payment of the arrears and coupons due on the Ist October next this payment will be deferred." The 211oniteur of this morning says in its bulletin : —" The revolutionary attempt at Palermo has been made by men belonging to the Republican party, seconded by bands of rioters."  The driver of a brewer's dray was thrown from his seat on to the ground yesterday, in the Rue Racine, in consequence of his vehicle coming into collision with a waggon, and the man being squeezed between one of the wheels of his own dray and the kerbstone, received such injuries that he died shortly after.  A curious attempt at murder took place at Besancon (Doubs) three days back. The would-be murderer, a medical man, had been on terms of improper intimacy with the wife of a journeyman turner ; the husband having discovered their guilty intercourse, sent the woman home to her friends, and the doctor, being thus thwarted in his amours, attempted to kill the husband by way of revenge. He stabbed him with a bistouri. The wounded man is lying in a dangerous state. •  Murder and robbery seem rampant in Algeria. Two Jaw pedlars were set upon a few days since near Oran by a gang of Arabs, who, after mercilessly beating them about the head with bludgeons, made an ineffectual attempt to cut their throats. The Jews miraculously recovered, and the Arabs have been arrested. A scuffle took place at Constantina in the garden of the Penitentiary. A patrol of Zouaves came upon a gang of marauders who were robbing the fruit trees. The Zouaves shot one of them, and his companions carried him off. The wounded man has been arrested.  The large flour mill of M. Lcpetit, near Dijon, was destroyed by fire three nights back. The loss is estimatad at 250,000 fr., only 130,000 of which was covered by insurance.
