The French papers are tilled with details of the Indian insurrection and of the camp at Chalons . Tha particulars given by them of the latter are thus s ummarized by the Times ' . Paris correspondent : —" The Emperor's head-quarters are established on an eminence commanding the camp , and facing the north-west . Three wooden chalets have been erected there ; the centre one contains the Emperor ' s private apartments , the two others dining and drawing rooms . Two double huts have been iit ' ted up for guests . Other , huts , Li the rear of these , comprise a printing establishment , telegraph office , kitchen , stables for two hundrei horses , storehouses for forage , lodgings for- servants , &c . All the buildings are raised one metre above the earth , are of
elegant appearance , and very comfortable . Between the two lines which they form are the tents of aides-de-camp and orderly officers , and of the soldiers attached to their particular service . Groups of fir-trees give a shady and agreeable aspect to the collections of buildings , which , are arranged in a quadrilateral form ,, two hundred and fifty .- metres-wide and one hundred audfii ' ty deep . The head-quarters of General Regnault de St . Jean d'Angely , who officiates as Btajor-General , are about half a mile to the right of those of the Emperor . Tho camp , which fronts the Imperial head-quarters , is an irregular polyg-oir , with protruding and receding angles ; on three sides it is bounded by small rivers . On the right of the camp , and , in the vicinity of water for the horses , the Artillery
and General Mprxis s three brigades of Cavalry have established themselves . In rear of tho Artillery of tie Guard are some Artillery and Engineers of the Line , tie waggon-train , the slaughter-houses , &c . Each tent contains ten infantry men or eight cavalry soldiers . Tlie Generals , with their aides-de-camp and staff , encamp in rear of the troops under their command . In front of the Hues of soldiers' tents are tows of huts for kitchens , and in front of these are niess huts for the officers , who take their meals together , on the English system . Iu rear of the centre of each division ia a hospital hut ,
making up one hundred beds . Finally , a railroad , nearly sixteen miles loug , and which will have been constructed in less than two months and a halfj will shortly connect the camp with tho Great Eastern line . The usual trains of camp followers , sutlers , and dealers in drink arc , of course , already gathered together in the vicinity of tin ' s great military rendezvous . The French soldier , true to hia habit of finding a niclcnaine for everything , has already conferred , on the principal assemblage of these itinerant shops tbe unflattering epithet of CoqninviUe . The old Crimean amusement of amateur theatricals is revived at tho Chalons camp , "
Tho manoeuvres at the ChQlons camp commenced , on Monday , when all went off well , with the exception oi two- , artilleryman being wounded , by a rammer driven out by tho premature discharge of a ctimioii .
