THIS IS T 1 ONLY COMPANY who are bound by their deed Of constitution not to dispute any policy, unless they can prove that It was obtained by fraudulent misrepresentation ; the great aim and object having been to render Life Policies COMPLETE SECURI TIES and NEGOTIABLE DOCUMENTS, which shall owe their value to the certainty of the contracts upon which they are founded, and be independent of the liberality er caprice of those who shall be in the management of the affairs of the Company when the claims arias ; and for this purpose the Company have, by a clause in their deed of constitution, unhesitatingly deprived themselves of the Power of objecting to any policy, unless they undertake to prove that it was obtained from them by fraudulent misrepresentation. The re g u lations common to all other Life Companies, which make the at i of assurance contracts dependent upon the perfect correct ness)p„l;the many statements required from a proposer for a Life eY, and which have given rise to almost all the questions which have been argued in the Courts, and to many extra judicial corn promig e-s, are thus entirely abrogated; and nothing but fraud, proved to have been committed against them, can vitiate a policy granted by We Company. THIS IS THE SITLY COMPANY from whom the assured en the Mutual principle, receive the whole of the mutual accumulations, and aso a guarantee front the Shareholders for the sums assured THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY who bind themselves to . pay the sums in the policies, although the debts for which they were ellected shall have been liquidated before the claims arise. The C "nPanY considering It only just t owardst the assured that where Premiums have been paid for assung g amount, should be paid ; aid they undertake to do so without r efere nce to the state of the accounting between the assured and his debtor. THIS IS ALMOST THE ONLY COMPANY who grant in favour of creditors whole world policies, whereby the debt is secured, although the debtor should go beyond the limits of Europe. _ The premiums calculated according to the Carlisle Tables, are lower than usual upon young lives, where participation la the profits Is not required ; and for short assurances, which, at the option of the uncured, may be continued for life, the rates are as low as a due re gard to complete security will permit.

The Half-premium plan ?f . Assurance, as practised by this Company, thus enables persons t o retain t o th e i r awn use th e one -h a lf o f th e prem i ums for the fi rst seven ye ars , at it. per cent. interest. Thus, suppose the or riblarY premium for an assurance of bOOl. to be 101., the first pay !nent by the half-premium plan will be five guine, being tho one half of the 10t., and interest for the retained half; and, if death Vonld occur in the first yeas, the sum of 5001. would be paid less the . retained. The assured may thus have the use for the first year of 61 .; for the second, of 101. ; and so on till the end of the seventh year, when the retained sums, amounting to 351., may either r ePaid or retained at 5/. per cent, interest until death, when the 1 • would be subtracted from the 5001. then payab.

Established by Act of Parliament in 1834. DIVISION OF PROFITS AMONG THE ASSURED. This Company, established by Act of Parliament, affords the most perfect security in a large paid-up Capital, and in the great success which has attended it since its commencement in 1834, its ANNUAL INCOME being UPWARDS of 72,0001.

FDWARD PRICE and CO. beg respectfully to request that all parties wishing to purchase their COMPO SITE CANDLES will ask in the shops simply for " Price's Patent Candles." Since these have attracted public attention, many Imita tors have made candles, and called them by the name " Composite," used by Edward Price and Co.;but the process by which the real Composite Candles are made, being a patent one ; and E. P. and Co. granting no licenses, none of these imitation candles are at all the same as the real ones. The chief properties of these latter are their burning, without snuffing, more brilliantly than the best wax, and their affording so large an amount of light, that they are cheaper, taking this into account, than the commonest tallow candles, one of them giving the light of three ordinary moulds. They may be had of most of the respectable tallow-chandlers throughout the kingdom, and are supplied to the trade wholesale by Edward Price and Co., Bel mont, Vauxhall ; and by Palmer and Co., Sutton-street, Clerkenwell.

An assemblage of " Gioese" had a lively debate, Concerning the deaths that had happen'd of late. The " debate was commenced in the following strain, By a bird who was view'd as " the prince of the plain" " 'Tis dreadful" (said he, as he open 'd his bill), " That sportsmen continue to worry us still ; " But" (said he) " We are not altogether bereft, I think we're a very good remedy left. Let us try to revenge many ink cries done, By an same t petition to MOSES ald SON. No doubt if we utter some pitiful notes, 'They'll at once put a stop to the sale of their coats. I amcertain" (said he) " that in MOSES' house, There's a very strong feeling in favour of Grouse,' And if selling of shooting-coats' ',rice could be stopt, The practice of shooting would shortly be drorp'd." " Tush ! tush !" (said the next, as he turn'd up his beak,) " I cannot hut wonder while hearing you speak; I expected much more from a cock of your sense, Who boasts of such wisdom, and makes such pretence, And 1 thought you knew more of E. MOSES and SON, Than is think for a moment that this c old be done. Is it likely the MOSES' will study us, so As to end the vast sale of their' shooting-coats ?'—No." " I think" (said a third) " that it', quite out of reason, To suppose they would give up the sale of the season, "These coats,' far which sportsmen in multitudes flock, Form a principal part of their wonderful stock ; And hence I conclude that no good cats be done, By sending petitions to MOSES and SON." For the convenience of parties residing from town, on application, directions for self-measurement will be forwarded post free. READY MADE. X s. d.

THE ATTACK ON TANGEIRS. (From the Times.) GIBRALTAR, SUNDAY, AUG. 11. By the last communication you would have re ceived the unexpected account of the attack on Tan giers on Tuesday, the 6th ; the '' solution" of which step, as declared on the following day by the Prince to the French consul here, in a letter, a copy of which was forwarded to Admiral Owen (who is still here with the Formidable and Caledonia), was, that the accounts from Mar s h a l B ugeau d, rece i ve d a day or two before, showed further aggressions on the part of Abd-el-Kader, who was acting on the Moorish ter ritory in close combination with one of the Emperor's sons (Mulai Mamou), or rather his cousin, as he is stated in these parts to be ; while at the same time, notwithstanding all we had been given to understand as to matters having terminated according to the wishes of the. French Government, the last communi tion from the Emperor, who is at Rabat, to the Prince, was of a nature to preclude further hopes, as they went to requiring the dismissal of General Bugeaud. The Prince will, no doubt, have ere this an official and satisfactory account of a step which at first seemed so strange in all these parts. He stated that he was very desirous of avoiding injury to the town, for which humane consideration history will no doubt give him credit. All the consular houses, with the exception of two (American and Sardinian) suffered damage, but not to any very serious extent. The consular houses being the only large buildings in the place, were naturally the most exposed to injury from casual shots. The house of our Consul, being the very nearest, received five shot., two only of which did damage of importance. The French Consulate did not escape. Some shells and rockets were in the first instance discharged from the steamers ; but being found to fall short, or from some other cause, the attack was afterwards by cannonade from the large ships and the Belle Poule, and directed towards the batteries only, which were stated to have been quite destroyed. The Vesuvius, however, which has made two trips to Tangiers since the day of attack, and had officers on shore on the last visit, brings more certain infor mation, by which it appears that the damage is not so very great as had been supposed, and that but one gun in the main battery had been dismounted. The Suffren, on board of which the Prince was, having been the closest in, received the most damage. A gentleman who had been at Cadiz with the French squadron lately, has written to say that that vessel received twenty-one shots ; forty had been previously stated. The Belle Poule was said to have been greatly injured, but the mischief to her has been but trifling as far as can ba ascertained. From the distance at which the squadron was obliged by cir cumstances to take up their anchorage, or from some other cause, the six hours' firing was certainly fol lowed by results very different from what might have been expected. The loss of lives onshore, including wretched Jews, has not exceeded seven or eight. We do not know with any certainty how far the French may have lost men or officers, these matters being always so vaguely stated. The Prince has admitted that the Moorish garrison behaved very well. Honour be to the gallant General (Ben-Abon Abd-el-Melach) who behaved so well, as formerly mentioned, in preventing the Kabyles from entering the town and causing total destruction. The Moors stood to their guns to the last moment. It does not seem to have been a question of making a breach, for the parapets are not seriously damaged at any point in particular, and the landing of the 2,000 men " de debarquement," stated by the Debats as being on board, could naturally not have been ventured upon in the face of the many thousand Kabyles close at hand. The whole of the squadron left Tangiers on Thurs day, having remained quiet on Wednesday, and steered west. The Suffren, with the Prince on board, not being able to weather Cape Spade], returned in the evening to Tangiers, and the Moors were about firing at her, but submitted to recommendations they received, and things remained quiet until she was towed out, and all were out of sight on Friday. Ac cording to accounts received at Tangiers, they did some mischief since at the small town of Arzill, some nine miles down the coast on the Atlantic side. It is said that signal vengeance will be inflicted on that coast, but especially at Mogadore ; but from what has passed in our neighbourhood, humanity may hope that crippling forts will be considered enough. At Larache and Rabat, as well as at Mogadore, everything is unfavourable to operations by large vessels, and the swells are so very great near Mo gadore, that even at this season it is not considered safe to lie off the coast. A gentleman who has been lately at Mogadore, says that the fortifications are not so contemptible as imagined. They have some good brass guns, a present from Holland some ye ars ago . Cidi Mohammed, the Sultan's eldest son, and whose station is Fez when his father resides at Morocco, was, by last authentic accounts, at Taza. He had been ordered from Fez with a large force to the Al gerian frontier, for the purpose of quelling the ardour of the Moors ; but on the receipt by the Emperor of new aggressions, as he called them, on th e p ar t o f th e French, the Sultan directed him to remain at Taza till further orders. Mulai Sulieman, one of the younger sons, arrived within the last two days at Tangiers with a force. Cid Mohammed Ben E'Drees, the Prime Minister, is said, by a gentleman who lately saw him at Mo rocco and Rabat, to be a very clever man, with a countenance highly expressive of intellect. Yesterday a good deal of firing was heard from Tangiers, but we found by the arrival i of the Vesuvius that this was occasioned by the Moors firing off their guns, which had been loaded two or three days before. The authorities at Tangiers notified to the neutral Consuls two days ago, that they might land, as there was no longer any danger. The town was quite tranquil yesterday morning; the only excess com mitted was the pillaging of the Portuguese Consul's house, the persons left in charge having abandoned it. The good Mrs. Hay, our Consul's lady at Tangiers, who, by her kindness toward the poor of that town for many years has gained the affection of the popula tion, returned to her house two days ago, though Mr. Hay was absent here on urgent business, so great was her confidence in the people. The last arrivals from Tangiers are up to within one hour of closing the mail here, when it was stated that all at that place was quiet. GIBRALTAR, AuG. 7.—Notwithstanding all our hopes of peace in this quarter, and though a special courier was yesterday morning dispatched, via Madrid, to say that by letters from our Consul in Morocco, Mr. Hay, all had been satisfactorily arranged, we were astounded by the news received by the Vesuvius, which arrived in the course of the night from Tangiers, to find that the French squadron, which took up a position early yes terday morning, began to fire at about half-past eight, and continued, with occasional interruptions, until about four. The Vesuvius, with Mr. Hay on board, from Rabat, where the Sultan is, entered Tangiers during the attack, at about half-past twelve, but the firing did not cease on Mr. Hay's arrival. Having been on board the Vesuvius this morning, the following is the statement there :—A steamer was sent some days ago by the Prince (as I think I stated in my letter of the 2d, by mail steamer) with a communication to the Sultan, to know whether he had anything further to state to the Prince, and the answer of the Sultan, returned early on Monday last, was that he had not, but that, should anything further occur to him, he would not fail to forward a dispatch, the Sultan conceiving, no doubt, that what had been previously forwarded, and which a gentle man who had been with Mr. Hay tells me amounted to an acquiescence to all demands, on condition of no territorial aggressions near Ouchda, had been de finitive. The Moors' batteries answered the French fire promptly, and more cleverly than could possibly have been expected. Nothing could have been less effective than the French fire, but few shot telling out of the many fired—the shot usually fell short. The Belle Poule, which drew up opposite (though not near enough) to two small batteries on the eastern side of the bay, made no impression, and it is stated that she received some damage. The firing was chiefly against the forts and batteries. One shot is said to have struck our Consul's house, but we are quite at a loss for other details. We are as much at a loss for the reason of the cessation of the fire, and for its not having com menced again this morning, as we are for its com mencement yesterday. No report up to ten o'clock from our signal-house as to firing this morning. No troops landed yesterday. (FROM A NAVAL OFFICER.) Her Majesty's ship Warspite, Bay of Tangiers, Aug. 7, 1844. To the utter astonishment of every one here, yesterday morning. it pleased his Royal highness the Prince de Johnnie, Rear-Admiral, commanding the French naval expedition on the coast of Morocco, to commence:hos tilities on the part of France by bombarding the weakly defended and unoffending town of Tangiers. A measure more precipitate, more unprovoked, or more inexpedient, perhaps can scarcely be paralleled. at least in the present age, when the various nations of Europe appear to be swayed by a proper, a civilised temper, a becoming spirit of forbear ance , w hi c h i nsp i res to show the moral responsibility of rashly insisting on, much more in pro voking, the necessity of resorting to the violent acts of war. Nor is this truly laudable Christian spirit con fined to states incapable of resisting any insult or aggres sion, real or imaginary, or fur want of means in main taining their just and honourable rights. But, on the contrary, it influences the conduct as well as governs the actions of the most powerful and warlike kingdoms in their mutual intercourse. An exception, however, has been unfortunately com mitted on the part of the French nation in violation of the above stated honourable principle, as will be seen in the instance now brought to general notice, and which must soon be submitted to the verdict of public opinion. That of late there have been existing differences be tween France and Morocco is a matter of notoriety, and that those differences have arisen out of circumstances intimately connected with subjects relative to the French occupation of the Regency of Algeria, is a matter of equal publicity. But whether the dispute originated upon the invasion of each other's frontiers, or whether it involves the independent right of the Emperor of Mo rocco, as a sovereign in his own kingdom, upon which France might attempt ambitious trespass—these are questions which we have here no warranty sufficient to express judgment. All that now is insisted is, that the attention of all Europe has been drawn to the possibility of a rupture between France and Morocco. There is no sort of de sire, even were the means at hand, to attach upon either Power the original pretence for quarrel—a more influen tial witness will depose upon that particular. All that now is attempted in thus writing is confined to notice the manner by which France has conducted herself in this Mauritanian contest—that is, how France, as a powerful and civilised nation, has behaved, and also how the French in their naval expedition have held character as a maritime power. Certain it is, common rumour was rife of the chances that there would be formal hostilities between France and Morocco. France herself was the first to proclaim to the world that such a contingency was likely to occur, by arming an expedition consisting of three large ships of the line, the Suffren, the Gemappes, and Triton ; a first-class frigate, the Belle Poule ; and Castade, Argus, and Volage, brigs ; in addition to which eight war steamers accompanied, and the whole of this force was placed under the command of an ardent and ambitious Prince of France. The object and future destination of this strong force were not concealed, but, on the con trary, were attended with full publicity, by the fact of its hovering about the neighbourhood of Tangiers for some weeks past. At this juncture, Great Britain, having greatly re duced her naval force in the Mediterranean, and that too widely scattered, appeared in a serious minority when in the presence of such a force ; the Warspite, 52 guns, being the only ship at Gibraltar for a considerable time. The Government at home soon saw the necessity of promptly reinforcing the Mediterranean squadron by forthwith dispatching the Caledonia, 120, and Albion, 90, which speedily arrived before Gibraltar. In the meantime, the French were lying at Cadiz. At this period an interval for conducting negotiations was em braced on the part of Great Britain, with the view to bring about, if practicable, a pacific arrangement of existing differences between the two great disputants, France and the Emperor of Morocco. The French Government, on its part, so far recog nised the mediation of Great Britain, as to order the Prince de Joinville to delay proceedings of a hostile na ture, whilst the British Consul-General at Tangiers was dispatched on a diplomatic mission to the Court of his Imperial Majesty, charged with instructions for the ex press purpose of preventing the resort to any hostilities of France against the Moorish territories. As this mis sion of Mr. Drummond Hay would necessarily occupy somem etdelay w time,i forth s theil e t sh c l i o ga i h i n l d t e s n i tn e be p t hoerstiat a ial at all hesitation and n ng r r e sa a m n e a int b dt l i e n gcouldthatthereto. a ha n ‘e y Indeed, the French expressed no manner of objection, but, on the contrary, they at once evinced a readiness to await the result of the British Consul's mission, at the same time conceding what was generally thought would have been ample time for Mr. 1). hay's return with the final terms of the Moorish Government. This period elapsed on the 26th of July, about which time the French Consular Agent hauled down his flag. The British Consul, however, had not yet made his appear ance ; still everything continued quiescent in the neigh bourhood of Tangiers. At this time the small bay before Tangiers had as- sumed a singularly animated and imposing appearance,- enlivened by the presence of vessels of war under no less than seven different national flags—British, Spanish, Danish, Swedish, Sardinian, American, and Tunisian. The French squadron did not show themselves till about the Ist instant, and in the meantime Mr. Hay was anxiously looked for in her Majesty's Yearn-vessel Vesuvius. Nothing material occurred until the 4th, when the French Admiral manifested his designs by requesting all the neutral ships to move further out in the bay, in order to be without the range of the shore batteries and forts, &c. Still no one apprehended that hostilities would ensue ; and how much were all possible apprehensions allayed, if there had been any, when early in the morn ing of the sth the British Commodore Lockyer, in her Majesty's ship Albio n , ma d e th e s i gna l, ".dood news ! peace will not be disturbed." In fact information had been received, officially, that Mr. Hay had happily succeeded in the objects of his mission, and that he might be hourly expected, being on his return in the Vesuvius. The French Prince was fully apprised of the above intelligence, Commodore Lockyer going on board the Suffren that very morning. In consequence of this intelligence, in every way satisfactory and wel come to the British, and no less so to all the others con gregated here, an early dispersion of the different ships was confidently anticipated. But, alas ! early yester day morning how did these pleasing dreams of peace prove only visionary and evanescent, the sequel will show. At daylight, on the 6th of August, an unusual stir and activity was apparent in the French squadron, the whole of the steam force getting up their steam, the other ships shortening inscable, and altogether there were unequi vocal indications of a general movement. What are the French about to do ? Are they preparing to depart ? This was the mos t natural and prevailing supposition. But judge the unqualified and universal surprise to see, shortly after 7 A.M., the steamers with the ships in tow, and arranging them in hostile position before the town of Tangiers, and also various other forts in the bay! Although the Moors were at their guns, both in the citadel and various defences, still they did not offer any interruption to their opponents in taking up their posi tion for attack, which also the French did in a very leisurely manner. Had the Moors opened fire whilst in the above predicament, there seems but little doubt that the guns from the batteries would have been most de structive upon the ships ; more particularly as the ships lay for a considerable time in a raking position. At the very outset, therefore, in this early stage of the proceed ing, the Prince was loudly censured for evincing so much want of judgment. However, to come at once to the business, at forty minutes past eight A 3r., the French ships being in posi tion, simultaneously by signal, opened fire upon the for tifications of the town and other adjacent batteries, castle, &c. The SulTren and Getnames were occupied till twn r.si. in silencing the citadel and batteries of the town ; and it must not be forgotten that those formidable liners received during the latter part of the above period the able assistance of the Belle Poule, whilst the other armed vessels were engaging the various detached forts in other parts of the bay. At the first onset the Moors smartly replied to their antagonists, but did not maintain the opposition much more than half an hour, excpting from one gun at the castle, and another solitary gun lower down. This latter was vigorously plied till near noon. Although the Moors soon relinquished their guns, yet these two guns afforded an obstinate resistance, which caused the French to continue a protracted cannonade, which was remarked to have been very irregular and de sultory, and without precision. Indeed, at the ter mination of the above attack, from a distant observation,. it did not appear that either the castle or batteries gene rally had sustained very material d b a Tts g re . a Nefi?‘ and i guns are disabled. The walls, from decayed condition, are of course greatly rl . shattered . in a few places ; but if those very batteries, were in the re notwithstanding, pos session of skilful artillerymen, arc, iormidable defence in their present state still capabtlheeof against such opponents. Upon the whole, it appeared the universal impression that the Prince, with his two liners and a frigate, had not displayed a good exhibitio n in gunnery ; and in two particular instances, that occur red during the day , the . impression as to the total defi ciency of the French the art of gunnery received most remarkable confirmation. The first case which shall be adduced was exhibited by the Triton, of 82 guns. A small fort, mounting abo u t n i ne guns, standing a mile and a half from Tangiers north-west along the coast, had by repeatedly firing an occasional gun attracted the notice of the belligerents ; accordingly, about noon, the said ship was ordered to proceed to silence it, towed by a steamer. As the Triton neared her object three or four random and distant shots were discharged at her, and before the ship got abreast o f the fort the Moors abandoned the guns, for they offered no resistance. The ship,however,imost undauntedly persisted in firing five or six rounds during two hours ! The gallant crew then for half an hour took rest, after which, as a parting salvo, they discharged at the fort two rounds more of shot, and then magnanimously moved off, taken again in tow by the steamer ! But how great was the astonishment of every one to perceive, as the smoke cleared away, such very little injury done. The embrasures, indeed, were hardly touched, perhaps not more than six shuts left any impression, notwith standing the ship lay not more than three quarters of a mile distant ! The second instance ptesented =to observsttion, - - trating the same inefficiency with respect to gunnery, N.B.

About 1 P.M., the Belle Pottle was ordered to weigh and proceed immediately to silence a romtd fort, on the eastern side of the bay, right opposite the town. The frigate forthwith proceeded on the service as signed her, and a more miserable attempt or a more con temptible failure perhaps was never witnessed, and does not cease to call forth the ridicule and jeers of all who were spectators of the transaction. As the BellePoule approach ed her station towards the fort its defenders fired by way of challenge several distant shots ; these, from their distant range, gave undeniable evidence of the heavy calibre of tl e guns, and induced the Frenchman to shorten sail very soon, and creeping up timidly drop anchor at such a dis tant position that the guns of the ;frigate could not resell the beach, much less prove effective against the object of assault. However, the Frenchman resolutely fired irregular rounds of shot in the direction of the fort for full two hours, but with as much eff .ct as theiteh eh:el at the rock of Gibraltar ! After this aehievsment a steamer took the frigate in tow ; but the fort, in scornful defiance, gave her the last and farewell shot ! In the instance just stated, the Moors stood by their guns to the last, and the sole reason that the French frigate escaped a most severe chastisement is entirely attributa ble to the want of gunnery science on the part of the Moors, for the fort was armed with ordnanse of formi dable character, and undoubtedly would, if properly directed, have committed terrible execution, for the shut frequently passed right over the Belle Ponle. Thus ended the French operations for the day, the whole squadron hauling c utside the bey ? During the whole of the action, the numerous steamers were idly looking on ; their services were confined to that of towing the other ships, and the taking shelter amongst the neutral ve s sels !In the meantime, about half-past 12 P.M., the Vesuvius arrived with Mr. Hay, the British Consul. Whatever the French may themselves think of their exploit in assaulting the old and ill-defended fora!' fications of Tangiers, they have not acquired the respect of those who observed, and noted their proceedings. In short, there seems to he but one and a general opinion-- that the " tricolour" has !rather been dishonourrd throughout the affair. The French have evinced on this occasion both a disgraceful want of gallantry and a con temptible incapacity and deficiency. The Prince has made a very sorry debut as a naval commander, and, if this should characterise the future " Nelson" of the French navy, France ought to welcome his resignation, for the Prince de Joinville has not maintained the honour of the national flag, and this too in the presence of so many foreign flags. It was generally expected that, after thus . in a manner silencing those non-effective batteries of Tangiers, the French would have landed and taken possession of the works and defences, if not the town, and thus have com pleted the day's proceeding ; but in not -doing this ti le Prince has betrayed more sagac i ty. Hir -Royal High ness was, it may be conceived, very doubtful as to the extent of discomfiture he. had created amongst the Moors, notwithstanding the havoc of his guns upon the batteries. The success of a storming party was ques tionable, and he therefore prudently acted on that maxim so convenient to those wanting in energy and courage. Before concluding my article it must not be omitted to be stated that there was one circumstance in this transaction which affords, and did in a most striking manner give, the most unqualified satisfaction to tire whole British squadron present at it, namely, the con spicuous deficiency of the French marine in their gun nery. Yesterday, in every point did the French clearly and indubitably prove themselves totally insufficient to cope with the British navy. This fact ought to be made known, nor can it be too widely circulated in England,—the evident and vast disparity in every branch of naval efficiency between the French and ourselves. Before the events of yesterday, there was certainly not an officer on board this ship, perhaps not a man, but would have given our rivals credit and character for far more profcssional ability than they themselves dis played. Nor would there have existed any doubt in the least as to the French having requisite courage. But now it is said of them that, in this affair before Taegiers, they undertook and attempted more than they had ability or dared to perform. Facts as they occurred have been simply laid down. Nothing is here stated but that which is believed to be substantially correct. Therefore, if any inference may be deduced from the foregoing, it must strongly demonstrate that the above opinion is not grounded upon eny oblique sentiments of national jealousy or caprice, but is founded upon the evidence of plain unextenuated facts. Unfortunately it has been the spirit tco much in dulged in of late (a spirit we have always deprecated, as in every way improper, and attended with no beneficial tendency), to make odious comparisons b e t ween the practical efficiency of the two great naval Powers. Ilis Royal Highness the Prince de Joinville himself is not free from partaking this pretty spirit, but has talked on paper in such a formidable aspect as well nigh to fright our grandmothers and nurses in England. But let them calm their fears. The royal sailor is by no means so dreadful as he would appear. Much as war was to be abhorred by every well regulated mind—above all, much as a collision with France is to be avoided, nevertheless, with such a jealous, litigious, and troublesome race as the French—unfortunately for the repose of Europe, hare shown themselves, perhaps the permanent, substantial, and cordial tranquillity of the two Powers—England and France —cannot be attained without a resort to arms, without a temporary sacrifice of pe:Te. Should such a contest take place, we entertain no apprehensions as to the result. And then would the great disparity between the two great nations be again decidedly manifested to the world ; and then, and not till th en , w ill t h ere b e peace in Europe. (FIiOM ANOTHER OFFICER.) Tangiers Pay, August 6, 1844. This morning, between three and four o'clock, we ob served movements amongst the French squadron— steamers lighting their fires, and the line-of-battle ships, taking up position close in shore, anchored head and stern, for the purpose of getting their broadsides to bear on the town. This appeared to us rather a curious piece of proceeding, as they had not declared hostili ties ; consequently the Moors allowed them to take up the prominent position, while, if the Moors had opened a fire on them when taking it up, they woull have ma terially injured them. According to the opinion of sailors, they went rather a lubberly way to work, and I may say rather a cowardly one too ; the steamers being all under weigh, they took a position outside the ships amongst us that were remaining neutral. At fifty minutes past eight, the French line-of-bathle ships opened on the forts with three broadsides with a very bad direction, which we were rather surprised at, considering they had all the morning to consider, and that they were only 800 yards off. The forts returned the salute With spirit, and the bombardment then became genera). As the smoke cleared away, we saw the poor unfortunate Moorish forts crumbling into dust. As they were in a dilapidated state before the action commenced, it was impossible that they should stand against the broadsides of the French line-of-battle ships ; but still, though the firing was great, every now and then you would see the smoke bursting from the embrasures of the fort, and defying the Frenchman. One fort on a hill annoyed them very much, but, after a little time, when the French knew they had nothing to fear from the enemy's fire, their direction became very good, and soon silenced the forts. The signal was made from rho Suffren, with the flags of the Prince de Joinrille, to cease firing ' which was instantly obeyed ; but then tlij forts would not give in, and fired a few shots, which, of course, made the Frenchmen open fire again, and did sal havoc on the Moorish town, and no doubt slaughtered a great many of the inhabitants. At ten o'clock there was only occasional firing, the forts having ceased. I understand they have not much ammunition. lam confident that a frigate could take the place, and they are quite ignorant of the present destructive warfare of European nations. So the French have not had much to contend with, and havellay enjoyed little target practice at the expense of the unfortunate Moors. There are a few forts along shore which annoy the steamers (though they keep close to all the ships that are neutral on the occasion). The Prince has sent the Belle Poule frigate down to quiet them, but her firing is so wretchedly bad that, from all appearances she has given it up altogether. I forgot to mention the steamers fired a few rockets, which had very little effect. 12 o'Clock.--No firing, except now and then a shot from a small masked fort, but everything is quiet. The Vesuvius, war steamer, has j ust made her appearance, with Mr. Drummond Hay on board, from Mogadore. So we shall see what will come next, as there was nat thia slight. est idea that the French were going to take this activ e . measure. The ships have hauled off from the town, and the .. forts still have the red flags flying; so what is going to take place we have not the slightest idea of. Perhaps he has only fired on the town to punish the Aloors fur their showing fight on the frontiers ; at all events they have not much to boastof, as their firing and mauceuvring were far from good ; and, considering there was a man of-war from all nations looking on, it will not speak well for their good gunnery order.

' HER ) War •ay,Au g . I begin my letterat Tuesday, ug. 6. the same time as the warlike Prince GC Joinville opens his fire apon this defenceless (comparatively speaking) place. At six o'clock this morning his squadron of three line-of-battle ships and a large frigate of 60 guns were taken in tow by the like number of steamers and also two brigs ; besides these there were four more steamers, making in all 14 French pendants. The ships of the line and frigate were towed to a short gun-shot distance from the devoted forts, if they may be called so. The brigs anchored off the beach to fire at the detached forts. The steamers are now cruis ing round us, out of gun-shot. They are still at it. I was - speaking with a lieutenant, who gave it as his Opinion all would be amicably settled. Just as he said the words,. broadsides from all the ships were poured into the place, and instantly returned by the forts from a few guns. 'lt is now two hours since the firing began, the Frenchmen keeping up a continued blaze, and for one hour not a shot has been fired by the Moors. They have alUOie time been firing from, I should think, a dozen gunnd no more. The place is becoming a mass of rubs, tio far as lie can see, but it is nothing mor e than exercis e for their men ; they may have lost two or three mon, but certainly not more, and not a rope or spar has been shot in any away o f them. A steamer has just passed us, and she has one shothole just above the water line, and two have struck her in the stern. She was hankering round a fort a long way off, and they served her with a shot.
