Owing to the determined resistance offered by the Arab tribes to the French troops, orders have been sent to the French squadron in the Mediteranean to proceed to Sfax to assist the vessels now engaged in bombarding the place, and to strengthen the force sent for service against tbe Arabs. Telegrams are to hand from Tunis announcing that several regiments ot Tunisan troops, which were despatched to Sfax to quell the rising there, refused, on their arrival, to fight the insurgents, and have consequently since been conveyed back to Tunis.
