FRENCH SOLDIERS.
A PARTY IN AUCKLAND. By Telcpraph.—Press AssoqiatioK Auckland, Last Night. Forty-two French soldiers arrived from Sydney by the Maheno this morning, on their way home to Tahiti. The little band has been engaged for more than two years in quelling various native risings amongst Kanakas in New Caledonia. Amongst their number are three wounded, and they have left one man in New Caledonia', the victim of Kanaka treachery. Only two Frenchmen, one of whom is accompanied by his wife and child, are in the party, the remainder being native Tahitians. Accommodation has been found for the men in Auckland until the departure of the Talune, by which they return home.
