Much anxiety is manifested in Paris respecting Marshal Vam.14:
and the French army in Africa. The illonitear Parisien. of Sunday night published a telt:graphic despatch, dated Algiers, June 2-Ith, which made no mention of Marshal VALLEE or his operations; although the Marshal's last despatch was dated June 113th. The Non/tear of Monday published another despatch, dated Toulon, June 28th, in which it was merely said that the Marshal was ex- pected in Algiers about the :30th of June ; but up to Wednesday night no direct intelligence had been received from him. In the mean tutee, reports of the most gloomy character gain circulation. It was known that' the Marshal's rear-guard had been cut to pieces in the Col de ; and it was rumoured that he was blocked up in time mountains by the victorious Arabs. The Paris corre- spondent of the Standard gives some particulars of the Ai& at the Col de Teniah- " The engagement at the Col de Teniah took place upon the 15th of June, on the return fromAbilene. The Marshal, it appears, perceiving he was to be opposed, changed his route during the night, and contrived to scale the moun- tain by its western side. A body of regular troops of Abd-el-Kader, to the amount of 2,000, having at daybreak in the morning discovered this maineuvre, and its partial success, climbed up through the rocks, which concealed their movements, intercepted the rear-guard (900 strong), and almost annihilated it. The Marshal, who had been congratulating himself upon the success of his plan, was recalled by the firing, but not in time to save the unhappy corps. The rear-guard was composed of the Zoavcs and the tirailleurs of Vincennes, and were the most distinguished soldiers in the army of Africa."
The French are only safe in Algiers itself- " We learn, according to an order published at Algiers, that no person what •
ever is permitted to go beyond lioussein Hey; in other words, no one shall dare to stir one league from the town. Another fact not less remarkable is, that notwithstanding the immense army in Africa, the authorities at Algiers were driven to such straits, that they were obliged to arm six hundred criminals.
Since the engagement of the 15th no official accounts have been received."
It is said that Marshal VALLEE had been recalled, to be suc- ceeded by Marshal MOLITOR.
