So long as the Richmond Penitentiary held their men in its stringent embrace, all was just as it should be in the opinion of their bigoted adver saries ; but now that the decision of the law Lords has released them from their captivity, affairs are assuming a blacker aspect than ever, and the severest measures must be resorted to by Govern ment. Such is the advice given to Ministers by the Dub/in Evening Mail—the accredited organ of the Orange party in Ireland ; which having got over the first shock of the decision of the_ House of Lords, has rallied all its energies, :and is now snore furious in its demands that the harshest steps be immediately taken by the Executive to put down the reviving Repeal agitation. This is our Contemporary's own language on this ticklish matter :—" The agitation is revived. It resumes its menaces. It is busy with its organisation. What then remains, but to arrest the progress of sedition by all the means, ordinary and extraordinary, with which the Constitution, provi dent of all extremities, arms the Executive ? If the present means be not co-extensive with the exigency, and that Parliament must sanction whatever more may be requisite, there must be, in time to meet the evil, a meeting of Parliament. Meanwhile, prompt measures must be taken to curb the conspiracy, and break down the force of its organisation. The scat and nucleus of the sedition must be razed, and its elements scattered and dispersed. The Repeal As sociation must be extinguished by the strong band of the law —or if the law, weakened by the late reverse be inadequate to the task—then by the strong hand of authority. The Association must be proclaimed down —scattered—suppressed Such are the opinions of the Dublin Evening Mail, which are well worthy of attention, inasmuch as they may fairly be presumed to be the opinions also of the Irish Orangemen. But how is it possible that Go vernment can act as our indignant Dublin Contempo rary advises ? How can they put down the Repeal agitation ? How prevent the que s ti on exercising a magic influence over the minds of the Irish — more especially those . of the lower class ? Suppose the Repeal ASsoiCiation suppressed ; the Conciliation Hall shut up, and a strong body of policemen stationed at the portals. . What then ? Is there one efficient step taken towards the pacification of the sister-country ? Is the idea of a Parliament in College-green blotted out from the minds of the agitators, and those who think and feel with them f Not a bit of it. The very opposition ,it encounters, will have no other effect than to fix the idea still deeper than ever in the hearts of the Irish, and to make that a faith—a living printiple, which before was merely an .opinion, say, rather, a crotchet. Masses of men may be subdued—physical force may be borne down by physical force; but who shall sitbdp u Thought--Annihilate a Feeling—strike down a Faith ? As we said a few days since in The Sun, while writing on this subject, there is but one way left to extinguish the agitation for Repeal— and that is, by doing justice to Ireland, not in a condescending, but in a conciliatory spirit— not as a matter of favour, but as a matter of right. Mr. O'Coronsr.r. is only powerful, be cause Ministers are unjust. To uproot his in fluence, you must do away with the grievances in which that influence has originated. But time presses, and if aught is to be done in the way of con ciliation, it must be done quickly. On the very first day of the ensuing session, Sir ROBERT PEEL should announce his determination to proceed, without an instant's delay, to the consideration of the state of Ireland, with a view to provide adequate measures for its relief. Abjuring all party feelings, he should at once boldly tell the House that the temporizing system had been tried long enough—that expediency had run to the full length of its tether—that there was no longer the fain test hope of maintaining Ireland in a state of tran- quillity by balancing party against party, now inclining to the one and now to the other—that, for years past, this game had been tried with Orangeman and Catholic, with no other result than to excite the distrust of both ; and that, under these circumstances, he felt that the time had arrived when a more generous and enlarged system of policy should be resorted to. That, influenced by the stern necessity of the case, as also by a sense of what was just and fitting, he was now prepared to make a material reform in the Irish Church Establish ment ; to enter fully and impartially into the difficult landlord-and-tenant question ; to ex tend the means of education, and place it on a national basis; and, finally, in the distribution of official patronage, to make no invidious distinction between Catholic and Protestant, but to give fair play to both. Could the Premier but muster courage and decision enough to come forward at an early period of the session with some such declarations as these, Repeal would soon cease to be the bug-bear that it has so long been to the British Cabinet ; and Ireland, instead of Sir R. PEEL'S " great difficulty," would become one of the chief sources of his strength. The experimental war brigs at Portsmouth are pro ceeding rapidly, we are told, with their manning. The Water Witch has already completed her com plement; another is in the same condition ; a third has entered, in a few hours, half the number of hands she requires. This looks well ;—nay, it is a very im portant, as well as encouraging fact,—so far as it goes. But it is only a small portion of the vast machine which it is indispensable to have immediately in com plete working order, throughout all its ramifications —it is but a fraction of the combined powers that every passing day makes it of more essential conse quence to have ready for development at a moment's notice. A dozen gun-brigs, as a nucleus for such a renovated force as our scandalously dismantled navy would want in the event of an European war, are of little more present efficiency, in relation to the object to be accomplished, than a dozen buckets of water would count to as a supply towards the extinction of a conflagration in Portsmouth Dock-yard. The only comfort is, that we have the proof, in either case, that the supply is at hand—available—and readily afforded, when properly demanded. But why will not the Admiralty go more boldly and largely to work ? Instead of these gun-brigs, why did not they put into commission just so many ships-of-the line, of the first, second, and third classes ? Men will always be disposed, as a nautical cor respondent of our's clearly showed the other day, in a well written, manly letter—to enter more readily for service in a large man-of-war than in smaller craft, especially where they have the opportunity of knowing that they will be under the command of officers who have acquired a popular reputation in the profession. The Admiralty, moreover, could not have imagined that should any disastrous chance re kindle the flame of war between France and Great Britain, we should have an enemy's fleet of cock boats, sloops, and brigs to encounter. At any rate the French Government have made a very different kind of demonstration in their recently equipped squadron ; and whatever opinions may be entertained of the display of French naval tactics in the bombard ment of Tangiers and the battering down of the de fences of Mogadore ; nobody imagines that these ope rations were effected by metal not heavier than that of 10 or 14-gun brigs. In a little pamphlet, which has just been published by RIDGWAY, and is entitled, " Some Observations on the Present State of the Navy," we find the same grounds of apprehension and expediency as signed to justify the instant adoption of some more remedial and vigorous proceedings on the part of the Admiralty in re-establishing and invigorating the efficient strength of our naval arm, which we have of late, on so many occasions, ventured to urge upon the attention of the Government. But the " Observations" comprise some incidentally noticed details which we may profitably, per :taps, recur to for our present purpose. The course for such energetic effects, as we advocate, in the re suscitation of our naval staff, as we will call it, is the more strongly put by this writer—inasmuch as he carefully displays the opportunities we have already neglected ; and the positive indications and warn ings that have been given of the insidious designs that were afoot against the supremacy of our flag upon the seas. He argues that the reduction of this force, coincidently with a state of affairs obviously demanding increased vigilance and exertion, is quite unaccountable; but that to have passed through the crisis which so lately overtook us without being in volved in hostilities should not blind us to the fact " that the solid security for peace no longer exists." " That in more quarters than one, unfriendly feelings towards us, and an aggressive spirit are plainly appa rent, whilst questions are already pending, and others but too likely to arise, both with France and America, of which no one can predict the issue." Now, it is this consideration—this hypothesis of a possibly approximating conflict, which appears to us to warrant our recurrence to this all-important sub ject. Let us not be charged with lightly or mis chievously discussing inflammatory topics on mere assumptions and visionary data. There have been overt acts of offensive petulence, and indiscreet escapades of latent malevolence, and unpremeditated expressions of rankling animosity developed in the proceedings and counsels of some of our " very good friends," within the last six months, that do away with all necessity for any excessive abstinence on our part, in alluding to the results which they have had a tendency to bring about. In the face of all these significant intima tions, the Government of a Property-tax Premier (whose first ambition seems to be a party triumph over his predecessors, by the eduction of a surplus revenue, out of the additional taxation, he has most unconstitutionally imposed upon the people—whose second, or even some lower pitched ambition on his easy sliding. scale of political principle, is the restora tion of the British navy to its former massive strength and dignity) ; this Government, we say, has been guilty of the delinquency imputed to it in the fol lowing passage of these " Observations." It would seem that nine is the cabalistic number with a Tory Cabinet for line-of-battle ships to be kept in com mission. For tionate greetings of their two Sovereigns at the Chateau d'Eu. Yet even in this season of submission, of con fidence, and courtship, it appears from the Navy List of July, 1843, that we retained no less than fifteen line-of battle ships in commission. Towards the close of that year, however, the formidable progress of French in trigue in Spain, calculated, one might have thought, to alarm the vigilance of our Government, and to call for the presence of a British squadron on the Spanish coast, seems to have prompted a further reduction of our fleet, sufficient to give France the absolute command of the Mediterranean ; and we accordingly- find, in the Navy List of January, 1844, only eleven line-of-battle ships in commission. Then followed the French outrage in Ota hette ; the Prince de Joinville's expedition to the coast of Morocco ; the rapid and menacing equipment of a large French fleet, and a state of feverish excitement both in this country and in France, that might at any moment involve us in war. All this, strangely enough, seems but to have added to the impatience of the Admi ralty for the extinction of our fleet. More ships were hastened home to be paid off; and we have now left but five sail of the line available in Europe, against a French fierce of twelve or fourteen line-of-battle ships in the Mediterranean." And now for the explanation how it happens that our men of war are so thinly manned, when even the vote of men and marines, for the present year, is " effectively smaller than that which enabled the late Government, in 1838 and 1839, to maintain a force of eighteen or twenty sail of the line." He says— " It is not of the want of men, but of their misap plication, that we have to complain ; and the public may learn, with some surprise, that, with a vote for twenty-five thousand men and boys, scarcely more than five thousand of this number are now employed in line of-battle ships. The remainder are either cooped up in harbour in the ships in ordinary, or are frittered away in vessels of inferior classes, stuffed most incon veniently full of more men than they call properly em ploy or accommodate." Here, for the present, we must pause. But there is yet " stuff" enough—and of a good wholesome kind, too—in the " Observations," to induce us to commend another " taste" of it in the course of a day or two. We have received letters from Lisbon to the 10th instant. The Cortes meet on the 30th inst. The war of parties seems to be at its height, and the con tinuance of SENIOR CABRAL in power to have brought that country to a state of extreme peril. Some ex tracts are given in our correspondent's letter, from a recent publication, showing the feelings that are en tertained towards the highest personage in the stat respecting the continuance of CABRAL in the ministry and the sanction given to his illegal measures. A rumour was in circulation of an application being made to the Portuguese Government, by the Russian Minister, on the part of his Sovereign, to permit a Russian fleet to winter in the Tagus the ensuing season. The reduction in the department of the Mi nister of Marine, in conformity with the promised re form in the several ministries, amounts to 40 contos. Accounts have been received from Madrid of the 7th, Bth, and 9th inst. The Castellano of the 7th contains the following on the subject of a Ministerial modification : " Persons usually well-informed assure us that a Mi nisterial reform is contemplated ; that M. Mon will be removed to the Department of Foreign Affairs, and re placed in the direction of Finances by 31. Orlando ; that M. Burgos will be appointed Minister of the Interior, in the room of M. Pidal, who is to take the Department of Public Instruction, about to be created ; that M. Ar tiler° will continue at the head of the Marine Adminis tration ; and that a new Ministry of Trade and Colonies is to be formed and confided to M. °liven. We shall accordingly have eight Ministers instead of five." Nothing, however, had yet been decided. It ap pears that General NARYAEZ was anxious to take the finances out of the hands of M. Mors, because he in sisted on a reduction in the army. This measure was contrary to the ideas of General NARYAEZ, and it was said that the best possible understanding on the subject did not prevail between him and the influential mili tary chiefs, such as CONCHA, SERRANO, and PRIM. The removal of M. MoN from the Finance depart ment would not strengthen the Ministry, as it is im probable that his successor would enjoy the confidence of the capitalists to the same extent as M. MoN. It was expected that the arrival of M. MARTINEZ DE LA ROSA in Madrid would be the signal for a further modification of the Ministry. There appears to be no doubt that M. MARTINEZ DE LA. ROSA will accept the portfolio of foreign affairs. The official confirmation of the arrangement of the quarrel between Spain and Morocco had been received. Count BRESSON insisted upon, its being settled. The following is the latest intelligence from Madrid. " MADRID, SEPT. 9.—Mr. Thornton's letter on behalf of the Spanish bondholders, with Lord Aberdeen's dis patch to Mr. Bulwer - in support of it, has been received at the British Legation.

The. drawing tecting gliard - s hi P i i N o w l e t Us see what i the conscription l of the co • - . on had been the occasion of oome preparation, and what is the force of France. "We find," says the writer, arrayed in the Mediterranean " A French force of twelve sail of the line, to which a still further addition of two ships has, we are told, lately been directed. Is this a position in which it is safe to leave the country ? We lately heard indeed from our most passive First Lord of the Admiralty, that he saw nothing in the equipment of a French squadron of exercise, which could require the presence of a Bri tish fleet in the Mediterranean. A French squadron of exercise forsooth ! I admit that the name of the thing is most harmless ; but such misnomers are not new, and hen I see a formidable armament prepared, I care but little how it may have been christened. This, so called, squadron of exercise, has not even made a show of as sembling for the practice of evolutions ; it is equipped and prepared for active service ; a portion of it is ac tually employed in active warfare, and is backed by a powerful reserve, ready to support it, if needful, against all foreign interference. What, then, is the object of this great effort of naval preparation on the side of France ? No such amount of force was required for the operations in contemplation against Morocco ; and he must be wilfully blind who does not perceive that it has been called forth against England alone. Ido not mean to say, nor do I at all imagine, that this has been done with any design of coming to an open rupture with us ; but Ido mean, that the Government of France was de termined to take advantage of our weakness, in order to obtain for itself such superiority at sea, as should ena ble it, for the time at least, to bid defiance to British re monstrance or intervention," The pamphleteer proceeds to show that " every increase of the fleet of France has been met with a corresponding reduction of ours." Does France commission new ships ? We instantly pay off a corresponding number of ours. That the scale of our naval establishments is not regulated by financial considerations alone, he remarks, is shown by the successive votes on the naval estimates for the last three years. In 1842-43, with a deficient revenue, a vote was taken for no less than 32,000 men and boys, exclusive of marines, for the service of the fleet. In 1843-44, with an increased revenue (and taxation), these numbers were reduced to 28,500 ; and for the present year, with a still increased surplus revenue, a vote is taken for only 25,500. The writer thus puts the other alternative :-- " Was the strength of our navy, then to be determined with any reference to the state of our foreign relations, or to the amount of force exhibited by other nations ? This hypothesis, too, must fail us like the last. The present Government inherited from their predecessors a fleet of twenty-six ships of the line; an amount of force leaving ample scope for reduction ; there being no longer any question pending between this country and France, since the successful termination of our operations on the coast of Syria, and the Treaty of 1841 between the Great Powers and Turkey. In January, 1843, however, our fleet still numbered eighteen ships of the line; and even through the autumn of that year, although Lord Ashburton, :by his treaty of Washington, had relieved us from all immediate danger on the side of America, and when, so far from having anything to dread from the hostile temper of France, we heard of nothing but the cordial relations of the two countries, and the afl'ec- rioting at Barcelona. The young men liable to it had insulted the alcaldes who presided at the opera tion and the Captain-General himself. The garrison had remained an entire night under arms, and several of the rioters had been arrested. We hare received the Paris papers of Friday and Saturday. They contain, however, but little intel ligence. The Globe of Friday, the Ministerial journal, has the following in relation to the visit of Louis PHILIPPE to this country :—" All uncertainty has ceased as to the visit of the KING to England. It will take place in the first fortnight of October, his MAJESTY returning at Windsor the Queen of ENG LAND'S visit at Eu. The KING will be accompanied by the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Minister of Marine." The following article from the same paper on - the subject of the affairs of Morocco is important, inas much as all that appears in the Globe may be re garded as semi-official:— "Several journals have inferred from the intention of sending three brigs of war t o th e coast o f Morocco, that the Prince de Joinville has received counter-orders, and that his expedition had not terminated. These journals have come to an erroneous conclusion on an undoubted fact. The Prince de Joinville is expected speedily at Toulon, and the large ships whiCh form part of his squadron, viz., the Suffren, Jemmapes, Triton, and Belle Poule, will return to port. The expedition, therefore, is at an end, and the ships of the squadron having exhausted their ammunition, it would be useless to keep them any longer on the coast of Morocco. The state of the war with Morocco requires, besides, that French commerce in the Mediterranean should be effi ciently protected against corsairs or pirates. Seven vessels of war, four steamers, and three brigs, which formed part of the squadron of the Prince de Joinville, are to be employed as cruisers. It is solely for the pur pose of rendering this force more efficacious, and in order that every point of the coast may be observed and watched, that three brigs more are to be added. The campaign against Morocco h as , t h ere f ore, en d ed, and all Europe knows how brilliantly. The Opposition journals pretend that our double expedition, by land and sea, has amounted to nothing ; we are persuaded that the Moors think differently. It is not astonishing that we should act towards a barbarous people differently from the course that we should adopt with a civilised nation. None but persons who do not reflect and weigh circumstances can be astonished at this difference. A civilised nation would soon comprehend the importance of a war with France, and would not have exposed itself to it. The obstinacy of the Emperor Muley Abderrhaman must have been very profound for him to have resisted the influence of Eng land, which has exhausted all its means of per suasion to induce him to listen to the propositions of peace which were made to him. It is true that the French press may have contributed to this result. The National two days ago said that the Kabyles and the Moors, Abd-el-Kader and Abderrhaman, know what is passing, and is said in France, and that they have a correct report made to them of what appears in the journals. Now, if the French Opposition press were edited by Moors and Kabyles it could not contain more insults to France and her Government. The Courrier Franfais, the National, the Siecle, the Constitutionnel, the Reforme, the Quaid/cane, the France, and the Gazette de France, say every day that the French Government is composed of cowards, who bend the knee to foreign Powers. When M ars h a l Bugeaud was approaching the frontier of Morocco, these journals said that he would not dare to cross it, as England had prohibited his doing so. When the Prince de Joinville approached Tangiers they said he would not dare to fire a gun against its walls, because England would not permit it. The read ing of the Opposition journals,itherefore, must have made the Moors very tranquil. They might well suppose that these journals, being published in Paris, knew what was passing in France ; and as all the journals, with the ex ception of two or tree Conservative organs, swore that neither our army nor our navy would dare to attack Morocco, England being opposed to it, the Emperor might very well despise our menaces. It may be per mitted, however at the present moment, to hope that the Moors have changed their way of thinking, and that the French Opposition journals have lost their credit in Morocco. It is therefore natural that after having re moved the delusion in which the Moors had been kept, we should renew our negotiations with them. The Moors are ignorant, but they are not stupid. They may not be able to comprehend what they have not seen, but they can appreciate what they have experienced. The lesson has been a severe one, although the Paris journalists, who have received neither shells, nor balls, nor bullets, pre tend that it w as not hi ng. W e h ave reason to believe that negotiations have been resumed with Morocco, and it does not appear to us rash to express a hope that they will end in the acceptance by the Emperor of Morocco of the four conditions laid down by France. We may, however, admit two hypotheses as equally possible, although not equally probable—namely, that the negotia tions will end in peace, or that they will not. If the Em peror of Morocco be so obstinate as not to comply with the demands of France, she will only consult her right and her dignity. A great and combined expedition will again attack the empire of Morocco, by sea and land, in the next spring ; a squadron will ravage Larache Mazaghan, and the other ports of Morocco, and an army will take possession of Fez and Mequinez, the two capitals of the empire —one containing the Government, the other the treasure. We may' hope that after such a display of vigour, and after having seen his armies vanquished and dispersed, for the Emperor would cer tainly defend his capitals, the idea of peace, a just and necessary peace, would at last enter the heads of the Moors. But, as may well be supposed, such an expedi tion could not take place in a country like Morocco without great sacrifices of men and money. It is well to remember that all conquerors who wished to have a footing there were repulsed, and that some of them were killed. Besides, a country without roads or canals pre sents excessive difficulties to an invading army. It would, therefore, be an act of folly not to endeavour to render an expedition to Morocco unnecessary, by ob taininr.peace by diplomatic means. To continue our aggression, even if the season permitted it, would be to exhibit a thorough carelessness about the blood of our soldiers and the finances of our country. An invasion may become a necessary mea sure, and France has determined beforehand to have recourse to it, but, as she has only peace in view, it is the duty of those who govern her to let her obtain that object by means more in conformity with her true inte rests. This question of Morocco would now be finished if it had arisen between two civilised nations; theignorance in which the Moors are, as to the power of European societies, bas alone prolonged it. The Spanish journals have twice announced that the difference between the Governments of Madrid and Morocco had been settled : we cannot say if the second account is more exact than the first. However, it is supposed that the Emperor will grant, if he has not already done so, the just satis faction which Spain demands, because it is in his power to do so; whereas it cannot entirely depend on him to force Abd-el-Kader to peace, and to keep him on the borders of the Atlantic. It is, therefore, an absurdity in the Opposition journals to pretend that Spain is more respected by Morocco than France. Morocco may feel apprehensions of Europe, but her fanaticism prevents her feeling respect for any one." The Journal des Debats of Saturday confirms the statements in the Globe of the preceding day as to the future intentions of France With regar d to M orocco : " The Duke of Glucksberg and M. d e Nyon, w i th full powers from the King's Governm ent, h ave, " says the Debats, "by this time presented th emse l ves at Tang i ers, to offer to the Emperor of Moroc co anot h er opportun i ty of saving his empire from inevitabl e d estruct i on. Th e Government of France shows itself as mo d erate as b e f ore her victories. The conditions t o be offered to the Em peror of Morocco are, it is said,exac tly n d the same as and of Mogadore, The s those proposed before the battle of Isly, bombardment of Tangiersae bf soarme the French Government had assuredly a right to increase its demands. It might have made the Emperor of Morocco pay the expenses of the severe lesson which has been given him ; but the French Government have not wished to do so. France is sufficiently rich to pay for her glory. Her army and her navy have shown, not only to the Emperor of Morocco but to all Europe, of what they are capable. The bombardment of Mogadore has sufficiently replied to the imputations of which the attack on Tangiers had been the object. The lesson will be of advantage to the whole world, and France cannot regret the cost of it, which, after all, is but a secondary consideration." The article, however, concludes by confessing that very little hope should be entertained that the pro position so renewed will be excepted, and that, should this anticipation of failure be realised, France will be compelled in the ensuing spring to recommence hosti lities on such a scale as will insure to her complete success. On this subj ect the Constitutionnel of Saturday says— " France is on the point of opening fresh nego ations with Morocco. We have not heard that the Em peror Abderrahman had made any overture:, for if he had Government would have hastened to announce that fact. If the intelligence be correct, we are going to offer anew the terms which have been already rejected, and to demand the dispersion of the troops, the chastisement of a few subaltern agents, and the expulsion of Abd-el litider or his removal to some point on the Atlantic coast. The execution of at least one of these articles would now be impracticable or ridiculous—we mean the chastise ment of the aggressors. The son of the Emperor him self is of the number ; it was he who led the Moorish army against us at the battle of Isly, and it cannot be expected that a father will strike his own son. Any promise he could make to disgrace him would not be serious, and the sacrifice of a few obscure chiefs would not be a satisfaction worthy of France. As respects Abd-el-Kader, we shall ask, Will the Emperor promise to expel or restrain him, and could he execute such pro • s e , in reality selely pret a i r ti r e i v e e d d by a t t t h h e e b c t o e m ez e r n s c e e - f o n e e i r s n e G t ? e ' of v e d r W i e ffi m e c u e nt." The Constibitionnel, after contending that the tem porising system pursued by the Cabinet has afforded Ann. EE-KADER time to usurp in Morocco a power paramount to that of the EMPEROR, that it had guaranteed to th at Prince a sort of impunity by publicly pledging itself not to occupy any point of his dominions ; I ),Y not declaring the entire coast in a state of blockade, thus enabling him still to carry on a profitable trade, adds— " Such is the embarrassing situation in which we hays The Presse says— " Abd-el-Kader is a Moorish Raid. In the letters seized in the camp of the son of Abderrhaman allusion is made to the Kaid Abd-el-Kader, son of Mahy-ed-Din. The Emperor acknowledges, it is true, that his expul sion would be favourable to peace, but it is well to know that he qualifies him by the title of Moorish Raid. The Emperor complains much of the indifference of the age, bewails the lukewarmness of the faith, and says that Mussulman fervour gives room to indifference ; he de plores the blindness of a great number of the tribes who remain strangers to the holy war, and who are ready to pillage the Mussulmans whom the Christians should drive from their homes. Finally, he recommends his son to pay attention to the signs of the times, and make peace with the Marshal, and to withdraw his army from the frontier, leaving at Ottchda only Ilawida, with his Goum." A letter from Toulon says that the accounts re ceived there from Algiers, of the 4th instant, leave no doubt of the continued resistance of the Emperor of MOROCCO to the demands of France. Marshal BUGEAUD was laying in provisions for the winter, and organising his forces in such a way as to prevent any incursions by the Moors on the territory of Algeria ; and, at the same time, to be prepared for a march into the interior of Morocco in the spring, if the EMPEROR should not show a more sincere dispo sition to treat with the French Government than he has hitherto manifested. Nothing positive has been heard of Ann-EL-FADER. There was a report at Oran that he had again made his appearance in the south of Algeria, at the head of a considerable force, but it was not credited. A Toulon journal of the 9th states that the Labra dor steam-frigate, new in that port, has received orders to complete her armament on the war footing, and that the depot of the 36th infantry, in garrison at Toulon, is to embark speedily for Algeria. The Debats says— " When the Cuvier, on its passagefrom Oran to Moga dore, passed in front of Tangiers, she only saw two flags floating from the consular quarter—those of England and of Naples. The telegraphic signals exchanged between the two consular residences and the vessels in the harbour gave them the appearance of posts of observation—ad vanced sentinels —rather than neutral and pacific habi tations. The Cuvier learned there that a camp of 10,000 men is established near Tangiers. It is without doubt a reserve to defend the town, if necessary." A letter from Algiers of the sth informs us that Marshal BUGEAUD was to arrive that day. He was to have a triumphal entry, and the famous parasol and the flags taken at Isly, which had not been yet sent to France, as erroneously stated in former accounts, were to figure in the procession. The letter adds, that the troops had suffered greatly from the heat. We find the following in the Algerie:— "Mr. Bulwer was entrusted with full powers by the Spanish Government to treat with the Emperor of Mo rocco. Mr. Bulwer repaired to Gibraltar, and thence to 'Tangiers, and has signed, in the n ame o f Sp a i n , a treaty with - Ben-Sellen) ' Pacha of El-Araich. Th e f o ll ow i ng are the authentic details of this treaty :—Relative to the affair of Darmon, it has been regulated-1, that the Raid of Mazaghan shall be reprimanded ' • 2, that the price of blood (250 piastres, about 1,200f.)i s to be paid to the mother of the unfortunate Darmon ; 3, that the Spanish squadron shall be saluted at Tangiers with 2 guns." The Semaphore of Marseilles announces the arrival on Tuesday of the Mercurio steam-packet, from Cadiz, which port she left on the 29th ult. The Prince DE JOINVILLE arrived there on the night of the 27th, in the Pluton. It was said to be his intention to sail for Oran on the 30th. The steamers Vedette and Cuvier were in Cadiz harbour, and the Suffren was coming in when the Mercurio left. The Constitutionnel states that, according to the last accounts, the Prince DE JOINVILLE, who was slightly indisposed, will arrive in France on the 18th. The Commerce, of Friday; contains the following ar ticle on a treaty, supposed, according to common report at Paris, to be nearly concluded between England, Russia, and the Porte, for settling the affairs of the East, and securing to Great Britain free communica tion with her Indian possessions : " We have reason to believe that a treaty of alliance has been concluded between England and Russia, having for its real and definitive object the speedy partition of Turkey, and for its avowed object to give to the former of these Powers the sovereign command of the Isthmus of Suez, for political and military communications with India by the Red Sea ; and to the latter the passage of the Dardanelles, fur her fleet of the Black Sea. "English and Russian statesmen have agreed that the moment is favourable to regulate in their exclusive inte rest the question of the East. They think that France cannot now oppose, whilst, if the affair be delayed, the ncreasing power of France might be enabled to pre sent obstacles to the completion of such a plan. " Such is the report which is now in circulation in the political circles of London and Paris. Should it be true, as we have every reason to believe it is, its importance will make us forget the question of Otaheite and the war with Morocco ; both of those affairs will become but secondary in comparison with it. "Russia, it may be conceived, has no great interest in opposing the establishment of English sovereignty over Egypt, and the taking possession of the Isthmus of Suez by that power. England, on the contrary, would make a great sacrifice in abandoning to Russia the passage of the Bosphorus, and the consequent possession of Constan tinople. The Russian fleet in the Black Sea has a real importance attached to it which the Russian fleet in the Baltic has not. The appearance of this fleet in the Mediterranean would not be without powerful influence over Greece and the powers generally of that sea; and, in the event of war between England and France, would offer to England an auxiliary of some value. " We are ignorant whether Austria and Prussia are aware of these projects, or whether they have published any protocol on the subject; but what we clearly per ceive is, that this is an affair of much real importance for the attention of France, for every question affecting the Mediterranean is of vital consequence to her." The National of Saturday follows up the same subject in the following tone : " There will be no difficulty in pointing out the bear ing of such an event as that alluded to—a treaty of alliance between Russia and England for the purposes supposed. We trust that it is not yet accomplished ; but vie have reason, with our Contemporary, to believe that Russian diplomacy is actively engaged on the subject. What other object could have induced the Emperor to make such a sudden journey, or M. de Nesselrode, at his advanced age, to be taking sea -b at h s at Brighton, as if the waters of the Baltic and the Black Sea had not been open to him ? There is, therefore, every reason to credit the reports which are in circula tion on the subject. It is evident, in the first place, that having so completely played with M. Guizot when Ambassador at London in 1840, Russia has a hope of doing so again now. She knows, also, what faith there is in the entente cordiale. She has seen the representatives of France and England everywhere divided whenever they meet—in Greece, at Constantinople, in Syria, in Egypt, in Spain, in fine, on every p ar t o f the globe where events cause any agitation. The force of conflict ing interests brings on differences of opinions between the agents of the two Governments. It is all very well to talk of alliance, but the real feeling at bottom is one of antagonism, and that real and deep. " Lord Aberdeen and M. Guizot may talk of their good understanding, but do they in their hearts believe that a kind feeling exists between the two nations ? No, they cannot be so blind. To asser t suc h a t hi ng after what has taken place would be the most unworthy falsehood." The Presse and the Globe, each pretending to offi cial information, are at war respecting the period at which the remainder of the loan is to be contracted for. The Presse of Thursday said that the contract would appear in October. The Globe of Friday de nies the fact on authority, and the Presse of Saturday repeats its former assertion, hinting that if the Minis ter sanctioned the contradiction of the Globe, he also authorised the statement. The Revue de Paris confirms the announcement that the KING'S departure for England has been de finitively fixed for the 7th of next month. His MAJNSTY is to be accompanied by his two younger sons, and the Ministers for Foreign Affairs and _ _ Marine. The Gomer, in which his MAJESTY is to proceed to England, is the largest war steamer of the French navy. _ She is of 450 horse-power, and carries 20 guns. The names of the vessels which are to form part of the royal escort, under the command of Vice Admiral LA gUSSE, are not yet known, but it is be lieved that the flotilla will only consist of steamers. The same journal confirms the announcement re specting the contemplated marriage of the Duke n'AUMALE with a Neapolitan Princess. " The nego tiations with that object," says the Revue de Paris, " have been resumed, and are on the point of being concluded. The Revue says that it will be celebrated after, the KING'S return from England. The apart ments of the Duke in the Palace of the Tuileries are being enlarged. The young couple will occupy the entire of the second floor in the Pavillon de Fiore." We have received letters from Trieste, of the 6th. The Emratoa and 4ur,aus arrived in that town on - been placed. After Isly and Mogadore, ire expected that the Emperor would sue for peace. He has done no such thing, and we are now going to entreat the aggres sor to desist, and to grant us, in reality, less than H e re quired before any hostilities had occurred. It is we who are making advances, and evincing the most perfect im patience, as if our harbours were in peril, or our terri tory menaced with invasion. Those pacific overtures, of which the aggrieved nation, who had resolved on war after long procrastination, has suddenly taken the initiative, are novel indeed. Is it for Abderrahman that we manifest that strange condescension ? We cannot believe it. It is another satisfaction we are giving to England. Perhaps it is a testimonial of gratitude offered to her by our rulers for the conclusion of the Otaheite affair." the evening of the sth, and will remain there for ten days, during which time files, reviews, and regattas on a splendid scale, will do honour to the occasion. The Archdukes Joust and FREDERICK, the Grand Duke of TUSCANY', and the Duke of Monesta have arrived at Trieste, on a visit to the EMPEROR, as also the Prince of METTERNICH, Prince KOLLOWRATEI, the English Ambassador, &c. The Levant packet-boat, which left Athens on the 26th, has arrived at Trieste. it brings accounts that the. new Minister of War, TZAYELLAS, had sent a dispatch to General GRIVAS, who is at Alexand. inviting him to return and take his seat in the Chamber of Deputies, promising him at the same time a brilliant reception. Sir EDWARD Lvozis had sent to Malta for a ship of war. The steam-frigate Devastation had already arrived at Athens, from Constantinople, and there were five vessels of war, different sizes at Piraeus. The Nuremburg Correspondent gives the following from Presburg, Sept. 5 :—" The late scenes in the Chamber of the Magnates of Hungary are responded to in the country. The rupture between the two Chambers has never been so marked—they almost came to blows in the place of sitting. A Palatine, who has now presided over the Assembly for forty-nine years, has declared that he never witnessed so violent a parliamentary storm. The Second Chamber does not allow itself to be intimidated by the resistance of the majority of the Magnates, but insists on the pro posed reforms. It has just decided that the rights of landed property should be extended to the classes which are not noble, but this resolution will certainly not be approved of by the Magnates. In several dis tricts meetings have been held to petition the Go vernment not to close the session at once. In a meeting at Pesth very violent language was used, and it was agreed to send in a protest against the conduct of the Upper Chamber. This example will, it is thought, find imitators." The French papers all contain observations on the course pursued by Mr. O'CONNELL since his libera tion, which the greater number of them praise as dis tinguished for its wisdom and its prudence.

(THIS DAY.) The revision of the list of voters for the City of Lon don commenced this day before James Thomas Arnold, Esq., barrister-at-law. Mr. Wansey appeared on behalf of the Liberal party, and Mr. Quin for the Conservatives. The following is a summary of the claims and objec tions made by the Liberals, on account of the livery : gross claims 15, gross objections 450, in the household list. New bona fide claims 351, claims to amend 117— gross claims 468, gross objections 676. The claims and objections made by the Liberal party in the parish of St. Stephen, Walbrook, owing to the recent circumstances connected ss ith the collector's ac counts in that parish must for perspicuity be divided into two lists, namely, the list of Mr. Alderman Gibbs, to which the Liberal claims and objections arc as follows :—New bona fide claims, 15 ; claims to amend, 4 • gross claims, 19 ; gross o bj ect i ons, 5 ; and the list of Mr.i Rock, the objections and claims to which are under the head of new bona fide claims, 14 : claims to amend, 3 ; gross claims, 7 ; gross objections, 5. The following is a summary of the list of claims and objections served by the Conservative party :—Livery objections, 219, of which 73 were what is termed " doubles," or objections by both parties ; thus leaving only 146 available Conservative objections in the Livery. The claims were only 5. In the household list the ob jections were 831, from which were to be taken 76 " doubles," reducing the objections to 755. In this species of franchise the Conservatives only put in 10 claims. Acc( rding to the usual custom, this being the first day, it was determined to enter upon no further business than merely to receive the different lists of claims and ob jections from the several vestry-clerks and overseers, and also the parochial lists from Mr. Secondary Potter. Upon the Revising Barrister taking his seat upon the bench he said, before entering upon the business of the day it might be convenient to the gentlemen in attend ance if they were to come to some arrangement with respect to the order in which the several parish lists should be taken. Last year the arrangement was to take them in alphabetical order, but perhaps a coarse more in accordance with the wishes of the majority of those in attendance might be devised. Mr. QUIN thought it would be much better if, instead of taking the parishes alphabetically, they were to be taken according to the different polling lists. Such a course would enable them to have the registry placed in the hands of the printer much earlier than could be done otherwise. Mr. IV A N .. SE Y also concurred in the views of Mr. Quin upon the subject. It would be much better if they fol lowed the same course which was pursued in Middlesex and other places, and take the several parish lists accord. ing to the order in which they stood as polling districts in the Parliamentary lists. He also trusted that some means would be adopted whereby publicity would be given to the daily order in which these lists would be taken. After some objections against this course being urg( d by one or two of the collectors and overseers, The REVISING BARIIISTEII. said, as it seeme d to b e almost the unanimous opinion of the gentlemen engaged .ftig MONEY AND COMMERCIAL A .
