f ^ j u . a . . - ** . —— 7 — _ i talion of infantry . Notwithstanding the superiority of of discipline and arms on the side of the French , the great fr < disparity of nuinbers rendered the contest severe and ov its result doubtful . The Chawears d'Afrique charged as with great effect and the enemy was finally repulsed , dc On the 5 th inst ., the mountaineers came down again , but they had ' not-reckoned on the considerable rein- "w forcements the French had received in the interval , and ed they were speedily driven back with loss . It is said that R an expedition against the Xabyles will at once take aj place . Any operations that the French may have con- pt templated against the Riffians are for the present post- it poned . " ¦¦ : ¦ , . " A ' presentation' took place on the anniversary of the ai taking of Sebastopol . On that occasion , the Emperor , ' says the Courrier de Bayonru , " reviewed the troops on service at the Villa Eugenie . After having twice passed pi along the ranks , his Majesty took the Prince Imperial in tl his arms and presented him to the soldiers . All the B officere dined at the villa , and tables weie laid out for ci the men , who were provided with a good dinner and a t < 'bottle of champagne to each- three men . " a BT . L . de Cambace ' res , son of the Deputy , grandson of n the Arch-Chancellor ( who was one of the colleagues of a the First Consul after the ISth Brumaire ) , and nephew of the present Grand Master of the Ceremonies , has just r married the yoang Princess Bathilde deCanino . M . L . de Cambace ' res is allied to the Napoleon family through r bis grandmother } the Princess d'Eckmuhl , who is a sister j of General Leclerc , who married the Princess Pauline I Bonaparte . This marriage has taken place with the 1 consent of the Emperor , -who is the guardian of his t family as far as the fifth degree for the males . M . de c Cambaceres is now in possession of a considerable fortune , and will have a much larger one at a future day . —7 Y ?« es £ Pans Correspondent . * In the Almanack Imperial , which has just appeared , " some changes have been m-ade in a matter which con- "j cerns the Imperial . family of France . The names of the i civil members having rank at Court are not set down in j the chapter headed ; " Maison de leurs Majeste ' 3 et des ' PrincesFranqais" but five Princes and three Princesses J aTe placed in a special chapter , viz ., Princes Lucien ' "Bonaparte , Pierre Bonaparte , Lucien . Murat , Joseph Bonaparte , and Joachim Murat , and the Princesses Bacciocchi and Lucien kM . Joachim Murat . The Emperor has carefully regulated the titles of each ; it is stated in the Almanack that the daughters of princes , ¦ relations of the Emperor , aTe to enjoy the titles of princesses until their marriage , but when that event occurs they only take the names and titles of their husbands , unless a special decree decides the contrary . The princesses of the family of the Emperor who are married to French or foreign private persons have no other rank at Court than that of their husbands ; thus , no mention is made in the Almanack of the daughter of Prince Murat , who married TVLde Chassiron . —Idem . The Progres du Pas-fe-Calais announces that the strange circular of the Bishop of Arras relating to mixed schools is likely to be brought before the Council of State . It adds that the British . Ambassador will communicate witn the Minister of Public Instruction in order to reassure the English Protestants . M . de Morny , it is stated , will return to Franco very shortly . His health is not strong enough to bear the continual fatigue and excitement consequent on the special embassy to Russia . It is believed that the Court will leave Biarritz on the 27 th or 28 th instant for St . Cloud , and will stop for two days at Bordeaux on its vaj' northwards . There is a report that King Otho of Greece is going to Paris next month . It is thought to be ccrtaan that a Congress will be held at Paris next winter , to settle some questions arising out of tlio treaty of last March . The Prussian Ambassador , Count < le Hatzfcldt , accompanied by his wife , left Paris on Sunday morning for Biarritz , where it -is said they were to stay witll the Emperor for the week . Tho Emperor and Empress have attended , in the neighbourhood of Bayortne , a Spanish bull-fight , or rather five bull-fights in succession , with all tlio most orthodox refinements of cruelty . One of the Spanish torrcros was trampled on and severely hurt . The Imperial visitors remained to the close of this brutal and revolting spectacle . Thero was an unusual stir on Tuesday night at tho Prefecture of Police and at the prison of Mazas , owing to tho arrest of about thirty persons belonging to a secret socioty . This society , composed of revolutionists of the most violent and dangerous kind , hold a mooting yesterday , Vt which it is said that it was decided to assassinate tho Emperor on his return from Biarritz . I understand that tho police know all tho mombors of this society , most of wliom are old members of the Marianne , inhabiting the Gth , 7 th , and 8 th arrondisscments of Paris . Tho majority of them are artizans . Several are -very young , and appear intelligent and not uneducated . —Times Paris Correspondent .

" ] Russia . an Russia has opened negotiations with the Porte , for stai permission to send ten vessels of war from the Baltic tas through the Bosphorus , for the coasting service of the J Black Sea . Further , these ten vessels arc to be " es- Na corted , " it is said , by two steam frigates , -which are in- J . sst tended to take in tow two frigates and a line ship now am Nicholaieff , and transport them to the Baltic . It is not stated that the permission has been granted , and no STt attempt is , made-to reconcile the demand-with the pro- tlu visions of the Treaty of Paris . —Daily JVeat's Paris Cor- CCI respondent . . th < The Emperor has confirmed General Mouravieff's su ] military sentence , which degrades Lieutenant Prince P Zerekeli to the rank of a private for killing an ensign , P ° Prince Bagration Muchrauski , who had grossly insulted him .

Besides all kinds of public rejoicings , there wi will be a dinner in the open air on the Khodinskoie' Ai plain in front of the Petrovski Palace . If you ask the tic mujUc about this dinner , he-will answer you with the vi greatest seriousness that on tliat day he is invited to dine O < with the Emperor . And in fact he is not mistaken , for ca the dinner is given to the people by his Majesty , who ris will dine with them as a father does with his children , pr They arc already preparing ; for the Emperor a large or tent ; the people will dine under eight immense wooden to galleries , which will form one vast circuit round the ev imperial tent . During the repast , the military band * ta and choruses will perform national airs . The number m of tables being made is incalculable ; people say that in when they are set up they will cover a space of sixteen ai versts ( about eleven miles ) . Each table is to be thirty ci metres long , and between each fountains are to run with w wine . Then the plain is to be covered with the so- fi called ' Russian mountains , ' or mountain slides , with 1 greased masts , swings , and roundabouts , theatres in the open air , & c . e ' Workmen continue to be actively engaged in endea- IS vouring to raise the vessels sunk in the harbour of Sebastopol .

The Papal nuncio at Florence has just got into disfor smuggling at Rome !
