FRANCE.—We hear from Paris that the French Government have re- solved to send 30,000 men to Constantinople under General Canrobert, and that these men are to form part of an Anglo-Gallic army intended to co- operate with the Turkish forces in defence of the Balkan. The report is given on what the correspondents of the daily journals call " good au- thority": it has been used at the Bourse. General Canrobert has left Paris. Although the report reaches us from more than one source, we are bound to say that at present it remains without authentication.

It is stated that all soldiers on furlough were recalled to their regiments, by an order issued on the 26th September.

M. Drouyn de Lhuys gave a grand dinner on Friday week, remarkable for the guests and the language attributed to the Foreign Minister of France. The banquet was given to Queen Christina of Spain.; Lord Clanricarde and Lord Lansdowne were present; and among others the son of the Duke of Casigliano, to whom rumour assigns one of the daughters of Mueoz as a bride. The tone of the conversation of M. Drouyn de Lhuys is said to have been unreservedly warlike.

Hitherto the Greek Christian subjects of the Sultan living in Paris have been accustomed to attend public worship in the chapel at the Rus- sian Embassy ; but recently, they applied to Veley Pacha for a special chapel to themselves. The Turkish Ambassador lost no time in asking, through M. Drouyn de Lhuys, for the authority of the French Govern- ment; which was readily given. Meanwhile, a temporary place of wor- ship has been obtained ; and the grateful Greeks have respectfully ten- dered their thanks to Veley Pacha. It is further stated that the Mussul- man has authorized the leader of the Greeks to place his name at the head of a subscription-list, about to be opened to defray the expense of erecting a chapel.

Francis Arago, so widely known for his scientific labours, died in Paris on Sunday. He had long suffered at intervals from an internal complaint, which terminated in diabetes. It is said he never recovered the shock he sustained by the terrible insurrection in June 1848, when he was a member of the Provisional Government. His funeral took place on Wednesday. All day it rained, but that did not prevent the as- sembling of a great crowd. The corpse was accompanied to Pere la Chaise by a brigade of infantry, under the command of General Renault. It was followed by two of the sons of M. Arago; by his colleagues of the Academy of Science; by his friends, among whom were Beranger, Cavaignae, M. Gamier Pages, M. Pagnerre, M. Bastide, M. Guinard, M. de Lasteyrie, M. Jules Fevre, and other members of the Democratic party. Two Imperial carriages, containing Marshal Valliant, as repre- sentative of the Emperor, and M. Ducos' Minister of Marine, followed by a portion of the soldiers, and by hosts of people, brought up the rear of the procession.

Francis Arago led an unusually active and adventurous life. He was born at Estegal, near Perpignan, in the Eastern Pyrenees, in 1786. His taste for science led his father to send him from the College at Montpellier to the Polytechnic School; where in 1804, at the age of eighteen, he was admitted a pupil. Two years after this, young Arago was appointed Se- cretary of the Board of Longitude at the Observatory ; and soon he was associated with Blot and two Spaniards to make scientific observations of great moment in the Balearic Isles. While there, enduring great hard- ships on the mountains, war broke out anew ; and the Spaniards sus- pecting the men of science to be spies, were about to kill them. Arago disguised himself as a mountaineer, and escaped to Majorca ; but there he was imprisoned. At length he was set at liberty, on condition of his going to Algiers, and thence he obtained a passage to France. But a Spanish privateer took the ship, and Arago was conveyed back to Spain. The Dey insisted on his liberation, and obtained it ; but Arago was again, by contrary winds, carried to Africa instead of France. Disguised as a Bedouin, he made his way along the coast to Algiers. The old friendly Dey was gone, and in his place another, who knew not Arago ; but at length the young savant got his liberty, and landed in France, in 1809. He was then only twenty-three ; but, in consideration of what he had already done and undergone, the Academy of Science suspended its rules and made him a member. From that time to 1830 he followed science mainly ; but thenceforward also he played a conspicuous part in politics, as Member of the Chamber of Deputies, and in 1848 as member of the Provisional Government. When Louis Napoleon seized on supreme power, Arago refused to take the oath of allegiance, and resigned his place at the Observatery. The Emperor, however, dispensed with the oath, and Arago retained his post till he died.

M. Auguste St. Hilaire, also a member of the Academy of Sciences, died this week, in Paris. He was seventy-four years of age.

One of the accounts of the visit of the Emperor and Empress to the camp at Helfaut brings before us one or two characteristics of Louis Na- poleon and his cousin Prince Napoleon. The time is the end of the re- view ; the troops are in square, receiving rewards.

"By far the most remarkable personage in the brilliant group which sur- rounded the Emperor was the Prince Napoleon' who acted as Aide-de-camp to his Imperial cousin. The Prince, mounted upon a grey charger, in the dress of -a lieutenant-General, and wearing the grand cordon of the Legion of Honoie, presented a marvellous resemblance to his uncle. He has the Emperor's features, his deep-sunk eye, his olive complexion, and round shoulders; llie'Prince is more corpulent than the Emperor was at his age, but as his Mike-up' is perfect, one might have supposed the Little Cor- poral' was looking on upon the distribution of the rewards. The troops now and then broke out in cries of Vive l'Empereur,' and Vive l'Imperatrice' ; but as every soldier had now been exposed for five or six hours to a searching rain, the enthusiasm was of the mildest character. After the distribution, the Emperor slowly, proceeded round the interior of the square. It is ob- served that when the Emperor approaches the standard of each regiment, lie gives his horse the spur, and makes him bound towards the eagle. The Em-

peror is an adriiirable horseman, riding in the English style; and while his horse is executing this little theatrical movement his Majesty gracefully raises his hat and salutes the colours."

The Journal de Calaie narrates an incident which occurred during the recent progress of the Emperor, not without precedent in the semi-Imperial journeys of the Prince President. " When the Emperor received the authorities of Calais, Count Victor du Hamel, the Prefect of the Pas de Calais, begged leave to present to his Ma- jesty the senior member of the Municipal Council, M. Pigault de Beaupre, whom he described as one of the most honourable men in the department. M. Pigault de BeaupreS, stepping forward, said to the Emperor—'Sire, I have nothing to ask from your Majesty ; but I venture to invoke your benevolence in favour of an old soldier, eighty-four years of age, the sole survivor of the regiment of Hussards de la Mort in 1792 : his name is Pierre Lanes, of Fre- then, canton of Calais. He went through the campaigns of Holland, of Ger- many, (where he was one of General Moreau's orderlies,) and those of Italy, in which he was severely wounded at Verona by the bursting of a howitzer. He was afterwards discharged without a pension. Now solitary and miser- able, this poor old soldier has nothing to live upon but the three kilogrammes of bread allowed him by the commune. Your Majesty will not blame me for bringing to your notice this ruin of our old glories.' The Emperor answered, Very well, sir, bring the man to me.' A few moments after- wards, a man in a blouse, bowed down by age, and almost carried by M. Pigzult de Beaupre and one of his sons, advanced slowly towards the Im- perial throne. As soon as he saw him, the Emperor said, 'Is that your man ? " Yes, sire.' 'Very well, I grant him a pension of 300 francs, for the first year to be paid in advance.' On the instant Colonel Beville, the Emperor's Aide-de-camp, approached M. Pigault de Beaupre, and counted out the money for his protege."

During his visit to Boulogne, we are told, the Emperor gave the mili- tary medal to the gendarme who arrested him in 1840; saying to those about him, "I admire men who obey their chiefs." He also gave 500 francs to the coast-guard who aimed his musket at him on the same oc- casion.

TuaKEY.—Decisive and warlike news has reached us from Constanti- nople. It appears that, urged by M. de Bruck the Austrian Minister, the Divan met on the 25th September to deliberate on the Vienna note. Matters did not take a turn favourable to Austrian views ; for the Divan unanimously decided that the Porte could not accept that note, especially since the interpretation put upon it by Count Nesselrode. They took a further step ; and convoked the Grand Council—a species of assembly of notables, representing more or less the various Turkish interests. Next day, this Council, composed of 140 persons, assembled, and speedily came to a definite decision. They resolved that the system of negotiations was exhausted ; then they decided on the necessary measures for the last de- fensive preparations; and finally they resolved that the moment had arrived when it became the Sultan to declare war in form. It will be observed that this news does not warrant the assertion that the Sultan had declared war; but the latest accounts hold that it was highly probable he would immediately do so.

There were, on the 27th, fourteen war-steamers lying in the Bospho- rus; six English, four French, one Austrian, one Prussian, one Sar- dinian, and one Neapolitan. Report mentions the recent arrival of two Dutch men-of-war at Smyrna. As regards the army, we have no accounts differing materially from what has been already printed. Omer Pacha continues to maintain strict discipline ; and he has, it is said, determined to shoot any one who may fire on the Russians without orders. The Egyptian troops had arrived at Varna, and there were sad complaints of their thieving propensities. Foreign officers of distinction were numerous in the neighbourhood of Schumla. Deserters from the Russian army were coming over frequently; and, it is believed, not a few spies. Letters from Smyrna of the 23d September state that Martin Kossta had sailed for America, with the consent of the Austrian Government.

There have been riots at Naplouse in Syria ; it is said 200 persons were killed, and as many wounded. The authorities were too weak to interfere. In the Lebanon, the Druses again show signs of insubordi- nation.

Russm—Before the Emperor set out for Olmiitz, his eldest son, the Cmsarewitch, visited Moscow. Here his first act was to attend the cathe- dral, amid the shouts of the populace. The Russian journals describe how he kissed the holy pictures and the holy cross, and sprinkled them with holy water. Entering the temple, he put up a prayer for his father and family, and performed the kissing ceremony over again. Soon after- wards, the Emperor arrived, and then both performed a pilgrimage over the Kernel to the cathedraL Here the Metropolitan read an address of welcome to the Emperor.

"Most pious Emperor—Everything under heaven has its time, says the sage. The Orthodox Church has always found in you a defender, but the present epoch more particularly sees you fulfilling that mission. You have raised yourself up as its sanctuary. is in the East for the security of your co- religionists, with the sword, which powerful at the Imperial word. The uneasiness which has spread in the states inhabited by other nations assures us that your word will triumph over resistance as well as your arms. Our souls, penetrated with sympathy in your ideas, pray to the Redeemer on your

behalf. Master, communicate joy to the Czar by inspiring him with strength.'" The Emperor kissed the pictures and the cross; and at his departure the cross was carried before him. It is stated that the Emperor, where- ever he stops, visits first the Greek church of the town. The military gathering at Olmiitz was barely over before prepa- rations were made for a similar and in some respects more portent- ous meeting at Warsaw. There the Emperor of Russia purposed to hold reviews, and he invited the Emperor of Austria to bear him com- pany. Accordingly, we hear that the Emperor of Russia arrived at War- saw on the 30th September; the Emperor of Austria left Vienna on the 1st October for that city ; and on the 2d the King of Prussia, suddenly summoned by an autograph letter from his brother-in-law, started from Potsdam to Join Francis Joseph at Ratibor, and journey thence in com- pany with him to Warsaw. fho military evolutions were to commence on the 2d instant.

Inv.—News was received in Rome on the 23d September, that the people of Civita Vecchia were in revolt: The French Commander, General Montreal, instantly sent reinforcements to the French regiment in garri- son. It appears that the rising was excited by a report that the Papal Government intended to close the free port ; a public announcement that the scheme was abandoned restored order.

UNITED STATES.—The Franklin touched at Cowes On 'Thursday, and landed the mails from New York to the 24th September. There was a great meeting in New York on the 22d for the purpose of voting a gold medal as a testimonial to Captain Ingraham of the at. LOUIS for his gallant rescue of Martin Kossta in the harbour of Smyrna. Re- fugees of all nations were present ; and speeches were made in French, Spanish, German, and Sclavonian, as well as English. "The demonstra- tion was of tho most effective character."

A contract has been signed between an English firm and the Tehuan- tepec Railroad Company for the construction of the line projected across the Tehuantepec Isthmus, and also of a "plank-road." The latter will be ninety-six miles long, and will be completed by November twelve- month. It begins at Suehill, the head of the navigation on the Coatza- coaleos River, and terminates at Ventosa Bay on the Pacific. The rail- way will extend one hundred and sixty-six miles ; and four years is the period within which it must be constructed. It will begin at Minatilla and finish at Ventosa Bay. A speculative writer, who looks ahead, con- templates the probable and speedy passage of steamers from the Western coasts of Britain to Halifax within a week. From Halifax the Great Trunk Railway will take the passengers to Detroit, and thence by a great railroad to the Gulf of Mexico. Here they will take steamers for the Isthmus of Tehuantepec; and in twelve days after leaving England, the traveller will find himself on board a splendid clipper steamer bearing away across the Pacific for Australia! One of these steamers, the Golden Age, has just been completely finished at New York, intended for the Australian line from the Pacific side of the Isthmus.

The Cunard screw-steamer Andes encountered a terrible hurricane on her passage to Boston from Liverpool. Mr. John Maxwell, the second mate, was washed overboard and drowned, and Captain Hutchins was so much hurt that he died in consequence.

WEST INDIES.—The Thames arrived at Southampton on Sunday, with the West India mails. The news from Jamaica extends to the 10th Sep- tember. At that date, Sir Henry Barkly had not arrived ; but he was anxi- ously looked for. Addresses of welcome were already prepared. Lord John Russell's speech of 4th August had been received with "general joy and universal satisfaction." No change had taken place in the rela- tions between Governor Grey and the House of Assembly.
