Affairs in Franco.
Paris, August IS, 18-VJ.?Yesterday
was consummated, by a decree published
in the official jouriud, one of the most ex- '
traordinary acts which have yet marked
the roign of Napoleon III. All offenders '
condemned for political crimes, of whatever
nature, Are uncon Utionully pardoned,
and if they so choose, may immediately
return to France. This amnesty will include
in its operation such men as Lndru i
Rollin, Louis Blanc, Victor Hugo, ami indeed,
nil the other implacable enemies of j
the Emperor, so long banished from Franco, i
Not only aro the adversaries ?>f the Napo- j
leonio dynasty permitted otico more to j
return to their native shores, but all who j
have participated in conspiracy against
the Kinporor'fl life are also unconditionally
pardoned. Thus, Simon Bernard, condemned
par rrmfitmacr, for alleged con
neotion with the attempt of Orsini, Fieri,
and Rudyo, in January last year, need entertain
no further foar of French tribunals,
nor French gen d'armes, and is free* to
fabricate another batch of hand grenades,
within sight of the Tuillcries.
The importance of this decree can scarcely
be overrated. It removes summarily
the argument agains tthe present regime,
that the government now in power could
not exist by banishing the ablest and consequently
most dangerous of its opponents.
It proves that the Fuipgror believes his ,
-i i? i- ?... i '

, throno, and too popular with the great nuv- |
jnrityof the people, to have anything to 1
dread from according the largest liberty to I
it:* bitterest foes. This act of unconditional
antl unexpected clemency is certainly a
piece of profound policy, and can scarcely
tail to convert many of Napoleon's enemies
ito his friends; or, it at least half disarms
their resentment, and lays them under a

had no reason to anticipate the slightest
favor.
After the procession of the 14th, the
troops returned again to the camp of St.
Mnur, preparatory to their general scpara- ,
tion. The movement commenced yesterday,
with tlie departure of the Imperial |
(iuard. each regiment of which started for
the different barracks in Paris and its vicinity
The 1st (irenndiors went to St.
Cloud, the 2d to ltueil, the 3d to Fontaibcblcau,
the voltigcura to various quarters
in Paris, the Zouaves to Versailles, the
lancers to Compiegne, the dragoons to
Mcaui, &c., itc., all in or near the capital.
The Parisians will not be sorry, 1 pre
suine, wncn me troops snail nave entirely
dispersed, and the camp of St. Maur he
finally broken up. A large portion of the
throng of provincials and strangers yet
lingers in our midst, as if fascinated by the
presence of the Army of Italy, and unable
to get away whilst a vestige of the camp
remains to visit and explore, it might
have been imagined that curiosity had been j
completely satisfied in the fortnight prece- j
ding the day of ovation, and on that memo- ;
rablo day itself. Jiut the pilgrimago to |
St. Maur continues, and will not probably J
AI>tl9A until Mif* lilriin lnfolv nfwr*vrn\ \wr un I

ninny thousands of sun-burned licroos shall
bo silent and deserted. Meantime the
soldiers who excited the most attention are
the Arab riflemen or Turcos. They have I
never before visited the cnpitol, and the
Parisians themselves stare at them <|nite
foreigners. For u moment, the glory of
tl?o famous Zouaves is parti.'ly eclipsed by
their swarthy riva's. Tho dress of both
is almost identical, except in color and a
few minor details. IJut the looks of the
men arc quite dissimilar. Despite I lie Oriental
costume, broad turban, slashed jackets,
and Turkish trowsers of the Zouaves
much of the romance attaching to them is
spoiled by fhefaet that they are Frenchmen.
The Algcrincs have all the characteristics
of their nativo clime, and in looking
upon simple forms and indolent and
graceful movements, the spectator feels
that these are the genuine children of the
desert where prowls the lion. Nor is the
I mm seen 111 nil fiis native originality,
until lie Ihih removed liin turban, exposing
u head which vividly reminds us Americans
of our own Western ??vages. These
Arabs shave eloso nearly the entire surface
f the cranium, leaving only upon the summit
a single tuft, which we or!) the "scalp
Jack," and they the. "Mahomet." The
motive, however, which induces them to
preserve this tuft of hair is not that of the
American Indian. Tho Turcos attach to
their " Mahomet" a religious, or perhaps !
f should say, superstitions importance. It '
is consecrated to their pronhet, and at their I
Ueulb tbey believe be will acizc them by I
their lock of Imir nnd drag tlioiii into the
celestial regions. The Christian French
iirc vorv much amused nt the creed of their
Arab brethren. " The Tureos pity us very
much," remarked n grim visage grenadier,
with a significant shrug. "As we Christians
wear our hair cut short, they tell us
the prophet can only catch us by the car;
and as lie won't he able to carry us very
easily in that way, wo stand a mighty slim |
ehancc of being saved!"
The Kmporor, Km press, and Imperial
Prince left Paris last evening, for Saint |
Sauveur, a watering place in the south ot |
Franco, which their majesties have not
hitherto visited. They are to remain there
and take the baths during three weeks.?
Tho Imperial party is to occupy several
houses at the extremity of the village,
which have been furnished from the chateau
at Pau. Sixty foot-soldiers and ten '
*._t ^1* it . I \ * . . I
iiiounii-u men, ur inc nuara, arc to at- ;

veur. Tho imperial visit will doubtless j
make the fu'ure fortune of tliis bitlierto
comparatively unknown placc of summer
resort, on tbc frontiers of Spain, tbo native
country of the Empress Eugenie.
An important decree, scarcely less iui- '
portant in character than the one above '
mentioned, is officially published in the
Moniteur Universal, of this morning. All
the warnings given to tho newspapers and
periodicals of Franco and the colonics since
the decree of February 17tl>, 18f>2, arc
declared null and void. Tho press is thus
enabled at once to commence, as it were,
anew. Three warnings are followed by
suspension or suppression. Jinny journals
had already received two. 1 predict that
this is but a preliminary step to the removal
of every restriction on the press, and
that the day is not far distant when all
shades of political opinion will be allowed

AN IM'lJ>KNT OF COMMODOItK STKWAUT'S
AT.OKHIN K KXPKHI KNCfc.
The United States' ship of-war Ooustel j
lntion was anchored in tlio harbor of Algiers,
whither she hud proceeded under command
of Commodore Preble, having on
hoard, among other officers, Charles Stewart,
then an Acting Lieutenant.
I 1 ? -1- C tl. ' . *
ii \v;i? mi: wiiu'ii ui young mcwari, nnu
lie was parading to and fro on the dock,
about half an hour after sunset, when he
saw a small boat, containing n .single person,
coming off from the Old Port, as the wontem
part of the town is so called, and heading
directly for the ship.
This person was rowing with all his
might, and Stewart was not long in discovering
the .cause. Close behind tho single
boatman was seen a large rover filled with
men, whose presence was announced by a
continued tiring at him of whom they were
in snob determined pursuit, holding on their j
Way until they were under the very guns of <
the ship.
" Now, by my soul !" cried Stewart, j
" may 1 be shot if 1 don't teach those fel- |
lows a lesson. Stand bv. Mr. Ropers." i
he ndilcil, addressing n favorite gunner, I
" to Mtrow a little grape into tliat fellow." j
An instant later a wreath of smoke curled 1
up from the side of the ship, and as the j
report went booming over the water the |
iron messenger spoil on its way, crashing j
into the pursuing boat, severely wounding ;
two or three of her crow. She instantly \
turned to put back, nt the same time that j
the fugitive reached his destination, and
came up the side, into the presence of the j
ollicer of the deck. lie was an elderly ;
man, with a stout frame and brownish features;
but it required but a single glance
from the lieutenant to see that ho was English
or American. As soon as he was sufficiently
recover d from his over-exertion
to breathe, he. weot on to tell his story, to j
which Stewart listened with much excite- :
ment.
The new comrr was an American citizen, ,
named James Collins, a native ot' New!
York, who, with his wife and daughter, i
had been taken from an American vessel !
at the same time as,its commander and crew,
two years before, by Algorioe pirates. His
wife had since died, and ho and his daughter
had been enduring since hi* capture all
the horrors of a hopeless and aggravated
captivity; but the worst part of tho poor
man's story, and that which moved Lieutenant
Stewart the most, was the announcement
that his daughter, a gentle and beau
-t?l girl, was on t.ho eve of bring forced into
:i detestable union with the very wretch
who hail bought her ami her lather as
slaves.
" My agony at tliesc circumstances culminated
not two hours ago," finished tho
father, " when I struck the persecutor insnnsihlc
to my feet and fled. 15y dint of
exertion I managed to reach the water side,
and embarked before flu* nnranors enulrl
prevent it. Hut though ' have succeeded
in reaching this place of safety, my poor
Alice is still in the power of the tormentor,
exposed to his vengeance; and 1 am almost
crazy at thinking that she may even now
be subjected to a fate worse than death. If
I could only guide a boat's crov, under
your orders "
" One moment," interrupted Stewart.
" Stay where you are until 1 have seen
Coin todorc Preble."
One moment the young lieutenant was
engaged with his commander in the enbin,
and then ho came forth with a stern smile |
of satisfaction on his features. Ten minutes
more had not passed before a cutter
with twelve ehoseu men pushed ofl' in the
darkness, with the lieutenant and the
stranger in the stern, and rapidly struck J
out for the shore.
"Our owner," said Mr. Collins, "resides
in the western part of the city. There
is a coast guard established, but I do not
apprehend that we shnll have any especial
trouble from that source. I think wo can
land below, go up the streets to the house,
and carry off my child, and all without losing
a man."

i ni; iMi.ii miiui-u, aucr twenty minutes i
of rapid progress, :?t a small wharf near
the Qclcta, in the western part of the town.
The arrival was certainly observed, but not
a great deal of attention was bestowed upon
it by the stupid Algerines. Leaving part
of his men in tho cutter, with orders for
them to lie down ander the wharf, Lieut.
Sfr?\V:irt. nml tltn rnmo!l?*o
lowed the footsteps of Mr. Collins, who led
the way rapidly up the intervening streets.
On arriving at his Into prison, an old,
dingy looking structure, extremely spacious,
having nil the looseness of the Moorish
style, the party discovered that sileuco
and darkness were the principal features
of the scene. Not a sound was henrd nor
a word uttered. The whole building seemed

41 (), my child I my child !" he oriod, 110
longer ablo to control the terrible emotions
which had been surging through his soul
during the lust 'hour, "shall I never ?cc
tin j more
A Moorish slave came nrotind from the
ronr of the building, and assured his fellow
captive that the girl had been carried off by
the master, and that no one was at borne
save himself. Rut even as the lying rascal
uttered tho concluding words, a wild
shriek was heard in tho chamber, and the
next momenta young and beautiful girl of
seventeen summers, appenred at ono of tho
wiudow.1, looking like asjfeotre in her gar
mcnts of sjwtle?s? white.
" My child, my Alicc!" oxolaimcd Mr.
Collins.
" Savfi mo, father!" was tho response,
and while shout." and groans were heard
proceeding from the interior <>t the building,
the maiden throw herself from the low
window, falling into the very arms of her
fiithor and Ijieut. Stewart.
The very moment of this reunion was |
destined to be that in which a company of j
Algerine troops came round the nearest
corner, manning up the street in the direction
of Lieutenant Stewart and his men. '
It was also at the same moment that the I
old Moor, who had so long considered him- !
self the proprietor of .Mr. Collins and his ,
daughter, came to the window and set up j
a startling yell.

dashed open the front door of the building, !
and conducted the entire party within.?
" Look to your weapons, and take the rascals
olT their pins the instant they halt," i
said Stewart.
A sharp and determined struggle soon
commenced, in the course of which half
the Moorish soldiers wero killed, and the
remainder finally gave way. But the rescuers
had expended all their ammunition,
and only a single bullet was remaining ;
that was in a largo horse pistol in the pos
session of Lieutenant Stewart. Jin was j
just wondering what ho should do with it. I
when the old Moor cauic down stairs wi'li :
a huge sabre in his grasp, and tnado a furi- |
ous dasli at Mr. Collins and his daughter, |
with murder written on his features and I
flashing from his eyes. This sudden arri- j
val decided the destination of the lust bullet, j
" Take it. you black devil !" cried Stew- !
art. just as the blow was descending, and j
he fired his weapon, the ball passing through j
the miscreant's head, and bringing him j
dead to the (loor.

Closely followed l>v his men as well ;>s |
hy Mr. Collins and Aliee, the .1 lieutenant l
led the way towards the boat. It sccmvd
as if Algiers had turned out to witness the
triumphal retreat, the streets being filled j
with thousands of men and women collect- j
ed together hy the brief contest at the I
Moor's house, but not an attempt was made
to intercept the progress of the party, the I
Algerines contenting themselves with 1
scowls and denunciations. Ten minutes '
later tli" rescuers were at the cutter, twenty :
minutes more and tlie entire party were I
safely back to the Constellation, not having |
lost a man. Tlie. vountr lieutenant received
the hearty thanks of his superior, to ?ny '
nothing of the gratitude of .Mr. Collins nml
his daughter, whoso family proved to lie of
eoiise?|Ucnce in New York ; and we areas- j

in his life, than when Miss Alioo was

fell in love with the. rcseucd maiden daring

so again ! ft cannot l?o long era my fate
is decided. I have a wife and two children
in Kurope; toll tlicm I died Mossing '
thorn?that, my last prayers wore for them, i
The snake is winding itself round my leg. j
I leave them all I poswesd, 1 can almost fancy
T foci his breath !"
The milk was brought and carefully put :
down ; a few drops wore sprinkled on the
floor, and the afinghtcucd hot van Us drew
back. The snake unwound himfcelf, and
tnado for the milk. " I am saved? |
saved !" cried Maxey, as he bounded from
liis eliair, and fell senseless in tins arms
of one of his .servants. In another instant j
we were all dispersed, the snake wan killed,
and our poor friend carried more dead than
alive to his room. Poor Mnxey from that
hour pined in hopeless imbecility, and sank
into an early grave.
A NlTNNKitY.?*Dr. IJnist, during his
Northern trip, communicatee his notes of
travel, short and pithy-^-to this excellent
paper the JmirensviUe Herald, While at
.Montro.il lie visited t:io establishment of
the (!rev Nuns, and says :
" A Nunnery is somewhat different from
what 1 supposed. Indeed, T have never
met a book which g ive me tins least hint of
its true character. 1 had supposed it simply
a religious linu.se for unmarried females;
but tliey arc not goat all ; they are chiefly
hospitals for the itifir.n?old, blind ami
sick, and orphan asylums, where hundreds
of children are educated and taken care of.
\,.,i !,? v??? o,.rt
superintending, teaching, sowing, and in
every respect controlling these large and
charitable foundations. This foaturo in
the Nunnery is most commendable, and
makes them very popular in Montreal.?
The Nunneries, too, arc very wealthy, and
have great influence. About seven hundred
persons live in the establishment of
(IreyNuns, and but one hundred and twenty
J!i*o Nuns, so you may judge how largely
it is a charitable institution."

" my daughter had h fit, and continued
for half nu hour without knowledge."?
"Oh," replied the doctor, "never mind
that ; many people continue so all their
iive* !"
