FOREIGN. The Duke d'Amaule, fourth son of the King of the French, has returned to France from Africa, thoroughly disgusted with the cut-throat and incendiary system of warfare carried on between the soldiers of General Bugeaud and Abd-el-Kader. French Africa is a bad school for the education of such preux chevaliers as the Royal scions of the stock of Orleans, and we are therefore not surprised that Princes so honourably and virtuously nurtured, shrink from the very touch of such victorious bays as encircle the brows of a Bugeaud and a Clause]. A son of France would blush to conduct a razia.  The late Municipal Council of Toulouse protested against the Royal Ordinance pronouncing its dissolution, and in mimic imitation of the first National Assembly voted its sittings to be permanent. It also refused to admit the new Mayor, Baron Lejeune, whose installation on the 31st was effected by force. The late Mayor, M. d'Arzac, has been arrested, and will most likely be sent to Paris. These Toulousians are such troublesome fellows that the Government is likely to lose more than it will gain by quarrelling with them.  Tne leven of insurrection has been discovered in the heart of the military garrisons at Paris. Several arrests were reported to have taken place in consequence on Wednesday morning. The French soldiers have a trick of remembering, reciting, and construing literally certain orations made by the Citizen King immediately after the July revolution, which, to say the least of it, manifests a poor progress in the discipline of Courts. The execution of three criminals at Rome on the 20th ult. led to a tumult, in which 12 persons were killed and 200 wounded. The last of, the three dying wretches uttered furious imprecations against the spectators, who thereupon were seized with a panic, and fled. They were attacked by thieves, and the result we have stated above. This is another of the bitter fruits of an adherence to the murderous and inhuman system of capital punishments. And then think of the horrible iniquity of extinguishing the life of a wretch while in the act of imprecating destruction upon his fellowcreatures I Sending him with hatred in his heart and curses upon his tongue before the awful judgment-seat of God I It is awful.  The Sultan and Mehemet Ali, as the Tamworth quack in days of yore said of the British nation and the national debt, are " quite in a family way ;" the Sultan having made an offer of the hand of one of his sisters to a son of the Viceroy. Such a mark of the Imperial favour often occasions the object of it many wry faces. The happy bridegroom of a Sultana cannot increase his harem without her permission ; cannot enter her apartments without leave ; must place no limits to her extravagance ; and wanting, in the discharge of any marital duty, must patiently endure the application of his lady's slipper to his mouth,•without so much as daring to look offended. Sultanas are privileged termagants, and are usually bestowed upon Pachas of whom the Porte has some dread. The Sultan, if he pleases, may either destroy or mutilate their offspring. A letter from Constantinople of the 14th ult. represents the Candian insurrection as virtually suppressed, and denies that the Albanians were guilty of any excesses. If they have subdued the Candiotes we have little doubt that it will be discovered at Constantinople that they behaved like lambs. It was their gentle bleating that frightened the Candiotes into submission. Is Tahir Pacha, then, to sand no heads to Constantinople? Reschid Pacha, the ex-Turkish Premier, is to be sent as Ottoman Ambassador to Paris. We may hence infer that the Reform party is regaining its lost ground at the Porte.  The English are in bad odour at Alexandria. This is because they keep too vigilant an eye upon the movements of the Viceroy, whose intrigues are known to our Government. But for England, Mehemet Ali would quickly regain all the ground he lost in consequence of the Treaty of London. He is raising 20,000 Albanians, nominally to assist him in restoring the tranquillity of the holy cities of Mecca and Medina, but in reality to reestablish his authority over the portion of Arabia formerly subject to his arms. The Belgian exhibition of arts and manufactures was opened at Brussels on the Ist inst. All the authorities were present assisting at the ceremony. M. Bartolot, formerly editor of the Courrier Belge,:has been fined 10,000 f. for a libel on the chief of the Medical Staff.  The Marquis of Douglas, the Duchess of Hamilton, and other very distinguished persons from Great Britain have arrived at Brussels.  1'1773743C
