FOREIGN.  The King of the French arrived at Eu on Monday morning at nine o'clock, accompanied by his staff. His Majesty was received at the chateau by the Prefect of the department, Lieut.-General Count Lalaing d'Audenarde, the Commandant and officers of the National Guard, the Municipal Council of Eu. the Mayor and Municipal Council of Treport, and the Colonel and officers of the 12th Regiment of the Line and the Ist Light Infantry. At noon the King went to Treport, and took a walk on the jetty. His Majesty appeared to be in excellent health. In the evening there was to be a dinner at the chateau, to which all the civil and military authorities were invited.  The Commerce assigns as a reason for the King's journey to Eu his wish to judge of the progress made in the Victoria Gallery, which he ordered to be erected at the chateau in honour of the Queen of England's visit. The Ministerial evening journal, the Messager, says," Several papers contain on Otaheite, and the affairs connected with it, information and details which are utterly incorrect. We confine ourselves to a general contradiction. The discussion on Thursday in the Chamber of Deputies will rectify all these false notions."  M. Durand, responsible editor of the Nation, was cited to take his trial on Tuesday, before the Court of Assizes, for an offence against the laws of the press, but, having made default, was condemned to six months' imprisonment and a fine of 6,000 f.  The Seine continues to rise ; yesterday it had attained the height of 4 metres and a half (14 feet), by the scale attached to the bridges. Many of the wharfs are under water. A man, suspected of being an accomplice in the murder of M. Donon Cadot, has escaped justice by becoming his own executioner. After lzeing some days in the hospital, he was discovered by the police on Sunday last as a man under charges of fourteen robberies and three murders. He was to have been removed yesterday, but, being left free in his bed, he poisoned himself yesterday morning with some drug which he had contrived to secrete. A letter from the camp before Alicant states that the communications between the General and the rebels are every day more frequent, and there is every reason to suppose that the surrender will not be delayed many days. According to a letter from Naples of the 10th, the Meteorological Observatory on Vesuvius is finished. It is in the form of a tower, in the style of the Renaissance, standing a little above the Hermitage, 2,082 feet above the level of the sea. On the upper floor, it contains a small but splendidly furnished apartment, for the accommodation of the Royal family, when they visit the mountain. This Observatory is placed under the same direction as the Royal Observatory at Naples. It will be opened in the course of the next month. The Augsburg Gazette states, from Constantinople, that the difference between the Bey of Tunis and the Sardinian Government is on the point of being arranged, by the intervention of the Baron de Bourqueney and Sir Stratford Canning with the Porte, which has declared that the King of Sardinia shall have full satisfaction, but will not allow of any direct negotiations between Sardinia and the Bey, whom it regards as its vassal.
