Papeete, July 20.

The French warship “Aldebaran,” commanded by Commander Le Pelletier, arrived in Papeete some days ago from Noumea, and will remain on this station, it is stated, for about four months, after which she is to be replaced by a newer vessel from France.

The “Aldebaran,” which is one of several similar craft taken over by France from England at the termination of the war, was stationed here some years ago; she now has an entirely new personnel.
