The sensation caused by this unrivalled production is beyond all /Winer t necedent ; the artist, the amateur, the casual observer are all struck with its extraordinay beauty And fidelity of delinea tion, and are unanimous in protiouncing it the most wonderful ex. hibition ever witnessed. To view it only at a vehicle for the terrific isplay at Dusk is unjust; it should be seen in the calm stillness of the quiet Evening, with its Towers and Steeples reflected in the spa cious Lake, to be fUlly appreciated.

Ni irning minutes after 4 Evening 5 minutes atter 5. Marian flilt LONDON, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 18.14. Mr. D'ISRAELI, who, we believe, is generally con sidered the founder, as he is one of the chief sup porters, of that school of political zealots who call themselves " Young England," has just been address• ing his constituents at Shrewsbury in a speech not less conspicuous by its calmness and good sense, than by the manly, healthful tone of independence that pervades it. Though we may differ from this gentle - man in some of his more extreme opinions, yet it is impossible to deny him the praise of being influenced in his public conduct by the loftiest and most disin terested motives. There is nothing petty or grovel ling in his views; and if at times he pushes his poli tical theories to the verge of Quixotism, yet the error is one that may be readily forgiven, for it originatts in the most generous impulses, and in a hard, selfish, utilitarian age like the present, when Mammon worship pervades all classes of society, and lofty principles of action are treated with supercilious Con tempt, it is little likely to find numerous imitators. We are by no means unqualified admirers of the doctrines of " Young England," but mixed up with much that is puerile, romantic, and extravagant, there is much that is substantially good in them—much that appeals to the better feelings of Englishmen—much that is calculated to elevate and purify their tone of thought, by reviving their proudest historical recollections, and raising them from that slough of distrust and despondency in which the majority are at present sunk chin-deep. But what we chiefly admire in " Young England," is the intrepid uncompro mising stand which the party is snaking against the fashion a bl e E xpe di ency system of the day—a system which is the bane of every generous emotion, which begins and ends in Self, and which sacrifices the great interests of the future to the petty necessities of the passing hour. Against this narrow, purblind rule of action, the " Young Englanders" strenuously and conscientiously protest. They plant their feet on the high, broad, solid vantage -ground of prin ciple, and are not to be lured from their position by the intrigues, the flattery, or the sophistries of the expediency mongers. Th e right is with them the expedient, and they will not allow that a shuffling, timid, evasive course of policy, can be followed either with honour to the Go vernment, or advantage to the country. 'What they feel strongly they express boldly ; and do not hold one language to-day and another to-morrow, merely to satisfy the small exigencies of the moment. They are not Conservatives—they are not Whigs—they are not Radicals—they are not Chartists. They do not believe in the infallibility of Sir Ronzar Paxr nor do they oppose, as a matter of course, every 1 a. public measure th a t emana t es f ro m Whig workshop. They do not thick it necesssary that the agricultural and manufacturing interests should be kept continually at variance with each other; but, admitting the latter to be in its way as , "great fact" as th e f ormer, they would see fair play meted out to both. Surely there is nothing here to , which a dispassionate, thoughtful mind, need object! The views are neither those of Revolutionists nor of bigots, but simply those of men of reflection and principle, whose feelings have been quickened, and whose convictions have been strengthened, by the humiliating acts of tergiversation which they have lately witnessed among public men, and which, instead of calling forth the unanimous disgust of the people, have been regarded by a large portion of them with absolute indif ference, if not approval, as the results of inex orable necessity. Now the "Young England" party, if we understand them rightly, hold as the funda mental article of their creed, that what is morally wrong cannot be politically right; and that no ne cessity, though it may partially excuse, can wholly justify, a glaring dereliction of principle on the part of public men. So far we are fully prepared to agree with them, for the proceedings of parties on one or two memorable occasions during the past session, have quite sickened us of the very mention ox the term Expediency. For an admirable specimen of "Justices' justice," we refer our readers to our Gravesend police report It apps rs that a Mr. WILLIAM SMITH, IL gentleman,. but who, in reality, is the scion of a noble family, and holds a lieutenantcy in one of the regiments sta tioned at Chatham, had, between twelve and one o'clock on Thursday evening, kicked his heel against one of the Star steam-packet boards, placed against the rails in the crescent, and broke it in pieces. A policeman inquired of him for what reason he had so wilfully damaged the board. No satisfactory reply was given, and the policeman then felt bound to take him into custody, there having been numerous complaints re specting the breakage ofseveral steam companies' boards. The prisoner not being in custody to meet the charge on the following morning, Mr. OAKES informed his brother magistrates that he had been waited upon early that morning by the friends of the unfortunate young gentleman, in the hope that he might be li berated, as he had to mount guard at an early hour on that day, and if he was not in attendance the con sequence might prove most serious to him. He, therefore, consulted with the police as to the offence the prisoner had committed, and finding that it was one of those foolish, boyish freaks, he allowed him to, be set at large, so that he might go on duty. They therefore, would adjudicate upon the case in the ab sence of the accused. _ _ The other magistrate naturally asked if there had been no security given for the man's appearance on his liberation from the police, and the report thus goes on :—" Mr. OAKES (very low)—No, no ; the police are satisfied. Now let us hear the evidence." Hav ing heard the evidence Mr. OAKES delivers judg ment in these words : " Well, we fine the ac cused ss. for the offence, and if the officer will go down to the Falcon Tavern and present my compli ments to Mr. FRENCH, stating the amount of the fine, it will be paid." This is the rich man's law. For the poor man's law turn we to a case adjudicated on the same morning, by the same magistrates, in the same Court :—" A poor donkey-driver was charged with driving his ass without a badge empower - ing him to do so. Mr. OAKES observed that if the laws were made they must be attended to, and the least they could fine the prisoner was the amount of expenses he had incurred, viz., 7s. 6d., which the poor fellow reluctantly paid out of his hard-got earnings, and was then allowed to depart." Mother COLE, with her Prayer-hook, was nothing to Mr. °Axes. Admire his administration of the law of jackasses ! With what dignified severity doth he rebuke the delinquent donkey-driver—" If the laws were made they must be attended to." It is to be hoped that he made the same observation to " the unfortunate young gentleman" before he libe rated him at the request of his friends ; and it is to be hoped that " the unfortunate young gentleman" was duly.penitent, and did not laugh in his sleeve at Mr. OAKES as he mounted guard that morning, and that none of the military friends of " the unfortunate young gentlemen" will be seduced into running even to Gravesend to have a ss. lark," trusting to the kind heart of OAKES to liberate them in time to mount guard the next morning, lest the consequences of not being in attendance might prove most serious to them. The consequences of non-attendance on his customers that morning were no doubt most serious to the donkey-driver ; but then he was not " an unfortunate young gentleman." We are told by persons in authority that the poor are becoming every day more and more demoralised—that they are losing all reve• rence for the laws, and pay no respect to those who have heretofore been considered their superiors. Are the distinctions thus made between donkey-drivers and " unfortunate young gentlemen" likely to increase the reverence of the poor man for the laws, or his respect for those entrusted with their administration. English men like justice in all places, and if those in authority wish to enjoy that respect from their fellow-subjects, which has heretofore been paid to them, they must administer the law, fairly and equally to all— without favour, without affection, and without making any distinction—" unfortunate young gentlemen" and other classes of the community. Intelligence from Madrid, to the 23(1 inst., has been received. A change of Ministry was still talked of, and it was said Queen CHRISTINA had written to MARTINEZ DE LA ROSA, the Spanish Ambassador at Paris, requesting him to accept the office of Mi nister for Foreign Affairs, and it was generally be lieved he would yield to the desires of the QUEEN. the military authorities waited on NARVAEZ to con gratulate him on his return to the capital, when the General addressed them in a long speech, and called Jn them to promote as much as possible the security of the throne with the liberty of the country. Mr. BULWER had arrived at Gibraltar. Madrid Bourse on the 23d—Three per Cents. 271 for account; Five per Cents. 20j- for cash. When the Paris papers went to press on Thursday, neither the dispatches from the Prince DE JOINVILLE nor those from Marshal BUGEAUD had been published, so that we have no means of ascertaining how they were received. Little doubt, however, exists that they would afford the highest satisfaction both to the Royal Family and the country. The journals are chiefly occuped with the question of war or peace. Those of the Opposition still madly urging on the Government to extremities, while the others are calmly endeavouring to bring these fire-eaters to reason. " We have highly blamed," says the Journal des Debats, " the insulting and provoking language of certain English newspapers, and we must equally condemn such of our own journals as seem to take pleasure in crying out for war. The Government has declared in the most solemn manner that, in re pelling an unjust aggression, France did not intend to make a conquest of Morocco, and form permanent establishments in the country. This declaration has all Europe for its witness, and our national good faith for its guarantee. We add, that the Opposition itself has become a party to it. It may then he said to be a settled point, a word of honour, by which we are bound. War, no doubt, may compel us to occupy for the moment a port or town belonging to an enemy, or even a point of his territory. We, on this occasion, do occupy the island of Moga dore, and the Prince DE JoINYILLE has landed some troops; we will go up as far as Fez, if we should find it necessary; we will, in fine, use every means which war affords us ; but they will be employed only for imposing secure terms of peace, and not for conquest ; to obtain the reparation and guarantees to which we are entitled, and not to aggrandise our possessions in Africa. In saying this we say nothing but what has been formally declared from the tribunes of the two Chambers, and repeated by the press. Is it the Na tional alone that has not heard these declarations ? 11017 can it talk of confidential promises made to England ? England has much better than confi dential promises, it has the public pledge of France ! Confidential promises might vanish with the Minis try that had the imprudence to make them—an engagement entered into in the face of the Cham bers, and ratified by them and by public opinion, be comes a national obligation. It is not a concession yielded to foreign influence, it is a resolution demanded in our own interest. T o accomplish the pacification of Algeria, and to colonise it, is the great object of our present efforts; and the burden of this alone is suffi ciently heavy for our budgets. W e h ave nearly 100,000 men in Africa, and to conquer and preserve Morocco, we must have another 100,000 men ; a n d while all the blood and treasure of France will be absorbed by a land which cannot render any return for a long time, what would become of our position in Europe ?—where would be our political freedom ? It requires no magic to answer this question. There is no need to recur to secret and shameful compro mises, for explaining the resolution taken by the French Government not to conquer and keep Mo rocco ; it is not her interest to conquer and keep it. She desires peace, and she will gain it by making a barbarous people feel the superiority of her poWer in arms. She will dictate her own terms of peace at the point of the sword. Morocco has attacked us, and the lesson to be given to her must be severe enough to make her lose for ever all temptation to disturb our possessions. This is the only object of the war which we have undertaken and carried on with so much vigour." In reference to the affair of Otaheite the same journal has the following remarks :- 4' The Bourse was again much agitated on Wednes day; some alarming reports were circulated, and a re markable fall took place. We are aware of the gravity of the question pending between France and England— we consider the excitement prevailing in the two coun *ries perfectly natv'al. Nothing demonstrates the ne ortha. good understanding better than this agita uneasiness ! Whilst we reckon cess. 14' ! : s g enera, lionana u of the two Cabinets, we are ignorant of the po manner in a_n the wi.,7 14)m tuch the differences will terminate, and for no consideration would we lull to sleep public opi nion in presence of so st-.."°us a dang ber o f the e must, how ever, add, that the greater the reports in cir culation are inexact, or at leash premature. It is not --tied the ultimatum of true that the Government has rec‘ hre is nothin g England. Up to the present moment the tw .,, o_Go g . new and nothing changed in the relations t re so: vernments. As for us, our hope is ever that a nae l" . lution will restore tranquillity to the public min..., a r that two nations, whose concord is necessary to I. e world, will not rush into a fatal war from inability to discover a means of reconciliation consistent with their reciprocal dignity." The other Ministerial paper, the Globe, is equally pacific. " The situation of things," it states, " may be delicate, but nothing ought to be added to it by exaggerations without any serious motive. The men who in France and England are charged with the task of deciding the question raised between the two countries have confidence in each other's honourable dealing ; they have kept up, for four years, friendly relations founded on a pacific and civilising policy ; a fact unexpected, personal, foreign to the general .system of their policy, has occurred not to trouble this harmony, but to occasion an incident. It cannot be doubted that this grain of sand will soon disappear from amongst the wheels where chance has intro duced it; the dispositions on both sides are friendly. The same desire of peace exists, and a suitable solu tion must be expected to a difficulty evidently in a course of being settled." In another place, the same journal, in alluding to the banquet given by the National Guard, says : " There are people who imagine that they - exhibit boldness when they bawl out, and who confound energy with brutality. In general, the democratic party falls into this double error, and it fancies that it has not given a proof of firmness until after having made itself hoarse with singing the Ma rseillaise. A banquet was 'given on Tuesday at the Opera, by a part of the National Guard to the officers of the garrison, who had directed the school of instruction of the legions of Paris. There is no grand dinner without a toast, and some of the Na tional Guards, more patriotic than prudent, had thought it right to prepare speeches in reply to the sully insults addressed by the Times to the French navy. The Na tional pretends that a roll of the drums prevented the toasts from being proposed. If the fact be exact, we cannot but approve of it. Serious men cannot be af fected by all kinds of insults • no one thinks of replying to the invectives of a drunken man. The abuse of the Times could not excite amongst us more than a shrug of the shoulders ; and the English journals generally prove that public opinion in London is impressed by the height of dignity and disdain which had greeted in France the • correspondence of the Times. It would, therefore, have been a great piece of childishness to ex change in a banquet of the National Guards ridiculous threats with the taverns of London. • The speeches that might have been pronounced could never have been as eloquent as silent contempt." The Revue de Paris gives the following as a reason for the Government not publishing the whole of the dispatches transmitted by the Prince DE JonsvILLE. We give it to show the spirit of the writer, but, really it is entitled to no credit : " Great astonishment is expressed at the Ministry no having published the Prince de Joinville's report of the bombardment of Tangiers. We can understand the reasons c!rhi3ll have guided the Ministry's conduct, if, as we are assu:ed on good authority, the Prince complains in his report ot" the English manoeuvres in Morocco. The Prince de Joinville has done his duty in apprising the Government of the real dispositions of the agents of our allies, and we cannot blat:,e the Ministry for not pub lishing a document of such 6 - ‘•avity, especially if it be to reserve their action with the Ca.l)inet of London." Another gossipping letter-write: gives a very dif ferent reason, and asserts that the con:luct of two the ships was severely blamed in the disc; of teh, and blame attached to the officers for the way in v,"hich the guns were served. We believe both statements are pure inventions. We give the following from the National as a specimen of the spirit which animates the war party : " The report of the cannon fired at Tangiers, Moga dore, and Isly, has resounded throughout France, and everywhere it has excited the same feeling. Morocco is forgotten, and even the unpopularity of certain of our generals, and the success of our arms is alone remem bered. There is not a French heart which does not thrill at the idea that we are at length on the eve of a contest with England, and that our land and sea forces have worthily commenced the campaign. In the midst of the general emotion the Government alone remains silent, and it might be said that it endeavours to con ceal what it ought to feel proud of. In the towns of our departments cannon has resounded in sign of rejoicing, whilst at Paris, the seat of the Govern ment, the victories gained have scarcely obtained an honourable notice in the official journals under the head of telegraphic dispatches. 'Whence comes this singular modesty of the Government ? The cause is easily ex plained. It is that the victories of Isly and of Moga dore are, in fact, advantages gained over the English feeling, and that our statesmen, if we can employ that term, bleed at all which may wound England. They have not abandoned the hope of receiving pardon from the British aristocracy for the blows which they have been forced to permit. This is the reason why the official journals, so prolix when some miserable razzia is to be described, make us wait for the dispatches of Marshal Bugeaud and the Prince de Joinville re lating to actions which have done honour to our arms. It is, however, quite useless for the Govern ment to endeavour to make itself little in order to avoid the anger of the British aristocracy. They will have war whatever they may do. The best informed British journals have said so, and proved it. It is only a question of time. England sees clearly that she cannot trust her French friends to restrain our nation ! She knows that the culpable state of neglect into which our navy has fallen has not prevented it from assuming an alarming development. She knows, in fine, that our commerce and manufactures are threatening her every where with formidable competition. She wishes, and she does not conceal her wish, to crush an enemy before we have collected our strength; and if she still hesitates, it is because she cannot divest herself of that fear of change which pervades all the old Governments in Europe. England hesitates, therefore; but whether she wishes or not, she will be forced to engage in the battle, and it is a deplorable policy on the part of our Govern ment to hide its head under its wing in order to avoid being seen by our enemies. If it were only in order to prolong peace, a contrary attitude would be the only one suitable, for in the state of anxiety in which all Govern ments are at present, the only means to make an im pression on them, and even to dictate one's will, is to persuade them that one is not afraid of war."

SUMMARY OF NEWS AND tittbltt eptition. " Who runs may read." WOZZION. The King of the French, accompanied by Generals Aymard and Friant, and two orderly officers, visited St. Cloud on Tuesday afternoon, but returned to Neuilly to dinner. In the evening their Majesties received the Mi nisters of the Interior, Public Instruction, and Com merce, Marshal Marquis de Grouchy, and M. Jubelin, Under-Secretary of State of the Marine and Colonies. The Patrie of Wednesday states, that " the ultimatum of England with respect to Otaheite, which has been talked of for some days, was definitively placed in the hands of M. Guizot this morning by Lord Cowley." The Globe, which is a Ministerial journal, has denied the existence of any ultimatum of the kind alluded to, and states that the Council met on Tuesday, and agreed to an offer of reparation, which it has reason to hope will be considered satisfactory. The Cons titutionnel says the Council of Ministers met on Tuesday under the Presidency of the King at half past twelve, and did not separate for two hours. Before the Council, M. Guizot had a long conference with the English Ambassador, at whose residence the Ambassa dors and Chargise d'Affaires of the great Powers met yesterday in conference. We are assured that after the Council M. Guizot paid a second visit to Lord Cowley. Letters from Toulon mention the rumour that the Emperor of Morocco has sent a corps of cavalry in pur suit of Abd-el-Bader, or actually compelled him to with draw from the frontier of Algeria. Another letter from Oran says he has been taken. The Revue de Paris states that orders have just been given by the Minister of Marine for a large supply of balls, bombs, and cartouches for the naval arsenals, and that an extensive promotion in the navy is immediately to take place. Young Egyptians who accompanied qn and grandson of M e h eme t Ali t o M arse ill es the e Par i is on Wedne s d a y. Th e young P r i nces are daily expected. A grocer, in the -lute St. Antoine, was condemned yesterday, by the Trib unal Correctional Police , to three months' imprisonment , and 50 f. fine, for us arrivedin nty-five of the using false scales. Hitherto this offence has been visited much too leniently. A letter from Elsineur states that the Russian fleet will pass the winter in that roadstead. It was reported at Copenhagen, that the object was to keep the fleet in a state of readiness for sea, whereas, if it passed the winter as usual in Cronstadt, it would be unable to move out until the frost should break up. The fleet is said to consist Of nine ships of the line, and five frigates. -- LAW AND POLICE. Mr. Commissoner Fane, in the Bankruptcy-court, suspended the certificate of Wills and Davy, the bank rupt linen-drapers of Oxford-street, until the wlst of July, 1848, being five years from the date of the fiat against them. An action was tried at Liverpool before Mr. Justice Cresswell, which was brought by a publican named Duckworth, against a Mr. Johnson, to recover 371. Is. for brandy and water, furnished to the free and indepen dent voters of Blackburn, at the election in 1841. The candidates could not treat, but the members of the res pective Conimittees did, and the defendant as a Com mittee-man,. had opened plaintiff's house, and in obedi ence to his orders, 400 glasses of brandy and water, (in addition to certain quantities of rum and water, given to the canaille, in the tap-room), were furnished to the " free and independent" in the upstairs-room of the plaintiff's house. The jury found for the plaintiff fur 37/. Is. Michael Read, the tailor, who had been previously examined on a .charge of cutting and maiming James O'Flaherty, with two pairs of sc i ssors , was brought before Mr. Twyford, at Bow-street, and committed for trial. At Clerkenwell, Mr. Wm. Woodward, a haberdasher, residing at 34, Clarke's - place , Is lin g ton, was charged with having assaulted Miss Eliza Gou l ding , residing at 47, Lower-road, Islington. The pro se cutrix had seen some Cobourg cloth in defendant's window , marked at Is. 2id. a yard, and had gone into his shop to purchase some. After vainly endeavouring to induce her to pur chase some inferior stuff, lie cut her a quantity from the piece in the window, but charged 2s. 2id. a yard for it, and on her remonstrating, the defendant abused her and put her out of the shop. Mr. Combe, after commenting upon the defendant's conduct, fined him 31. and costs. A gentleman attended at Queen -square to disabuse the mind of the Magistrate on the subject of a statement made at the office on Wednesday, by a man named Henry Smith, who represented himself to be a broken down gentleman. It turns out that he is an impostor. A. respectably dressed woman, named Frances Gray, was committed by Mr. Rawlinson from Marylebone, for shoplifting ; and Sarah Jones, cook to Mr. Satchell, 6, Winsley-street, Oxford-street, charged with having con cealed the birth of her male infant, was fully committed for trial. —______ At Union-hall Edward Sweetly was brought before Mr. Traill, charged with uttering a counterfeit sovereign, and also with stealing the sum of 19s. from Mr. Popham, a surgeon, in the London-road. The prisoner ordered some medicine to be sent to a person in West-square, desiring that the boy who took it might bring change for a sovereign. lie met the boy, took the medicine from him. gave him a counterfeit 6uvereign, and walked away with the 19s. Ile was remanded until to day, when several other cases will probably be brought again him.

The accounts from New York, received per Caledonia, state— " The recent intelligence received from Great Britain gave a very favourable account of the growing crops. A wonderful change had taken place in the position of affairs within three weeks previous to the 19th July ; the weather during that period having ripened the grain crops, so as to remove the apprehensions previously enter tained of a deficient harvest. The season, both in that country and throughout Europe, has been so far unusually favourable, and the crops must turn out very large. The prospects for a foreign demand for the immense surplus we must have in this country, are at present very poor." Trade in America was much the same, and money easy. Stocks were rather flat again, as it is doubted whether Pennsylvania will resume as early as was expected.

STREET " SUSPENDED BY COMMAND Of THE LORD CHAMBERLAIN.—Since the examination of the extraor dinary house in West -street, Smithfield, and the dis closures made relative to the purpose for which it was used, Mr. Leman Rede, the dramatist, has been engaged in writing a piece for the Surrey Theatre, under the title of The Old House in West-street, or London in the Last Century, in which many characters representing the low est orders of society are brought on the stage, such, as it is supposed, inhabited the house of that infamous neighbourhood. The play was of course submitted for examination, and all arrangements as to scenery, &c., were made for its productio - i a few nights ago, when Mrs. Davidge, the proprietress of the theatre, received a letter from the Lord Chamberlain to the effect that the piece in its present shepe could not be performed. The play was consequently withdrawn and another substi tuted. It is stated that the grounds upon which the rerformance of The Old House in West-street was sus pended were, that from the locality from which the in cidents were drawn, and the depraved habits of the cha racters thus brought before the audience, its general tendency would be to deprave the public taste and de moralise the public mind. The proprietress' has not entirely withdrawn the piece, and the author will soon have it reconstructed with the omission of offensive cha racters. OFFICIAL DISPATCHES. FRANCE AND MOROCCO. The following are the official dispatches of the Prince de Joinville to the Minister of Marine : " Steamer Pluto, Aug. 10. M. LE MINISTRE,—Not having time to give you an account by the last courier of the state of our affairs, in detail, as well as of our operations before Tan giers, I take advantage of the first moment of lei sure to fulfil this duty. I informed you that on the 2d August, the day fixed for the reply to the ultimatum of our Consul- General, nothing reached us. I waited then for news of Mr. Hay, before com mencing hostilities. On the 4th a letter of Sidi Bousselam Pacha,. of Larache, was sent as more measured, more concilia tory, than preceding ones ; it renewed, nevertheless, the insolent demand of the punishment of the Mar shal. The letter of Sidi Bousselam said not a word of the removal of the corps of troops collected near Ouchda. As to Abd-el-Kader, Sidi Bousselam asserted that he was no longer on the Morocco terri tory, and that orders had been given to prevent his returning to it. Nevertheless, the Marshal learned at the same time that Abd-el-Kader had gone into the interior of Morocco, and that he was two days' march in the rear of the Moorish camp. These accounts had but one object, to trifle with us. Annoyed at learning nothing of Mr. Ilay, I sent the Veloce steamer to inquire and bring news of him. The Veloce came back on the sth to Tangiers, bringing me word that Mr. Hay was in safety at Mogadore. In fine, on the evening of the sth, the Etna, coming from Oran, brought me your dispatch of the 27th, ordering me to commence hostilities, if the answer to the ultimatum was not satisfactory. It brought us news, also, of the Marshal proving the falsity of the assertions of the Moors respecting Abd-el-Fader. Hesitation was no longer possible. We were amused with deceitful messages while they were pre paring war; and we were thus obliged to have re course to arms. On the morning of the 6th I attacked the batteries of Tangiers. My instructions were to destroy the exterior fortifications, but to respect the town. I could easily have attained this aim by disembark ing; but I preferred employing cannon, and render ing the batteries useless, whilst respecting the quar ters of the Consuls, which but five or six stray bullets reached. We attained this result with the loss of three dead and sixteen wounded, - the ships receiving very slight injury. The enemy confesses a loss of 150 dead and 400 wounded; but it is impossible to ascertain the num ber of dead, since they were only drawing them from under the ruins on the Bth. During the engagement, Mr. Hay arrived from Rabat, where he had stopped to see the Emperor. I received him the next day. He told me he found the Emperor much depressed. The news of the retire ment of the Consuls had reached him. Mr. Hay thanked me for the solicitude I had shown with re spect to him. I now proceed to Mogadore, at the other extremity of the empire. Mogadore is the private property of the Emperor. The town itself, as well as the public revenue, is his property. He lets the houses and the ground. It is, in a word, one of the principal sources of his revenue. To attack that city, to destroy it, or to occupy the island that forms the port, until we obtain satisfaction, is to give the most sensible blow to Muley Abderrahman and all the south of his empire. I shall limit myself for the moment to these two operations in order to prove to the Emperor that he is deserted by all the world. The affair of Tangiers has sufficiently proved that, and that we have the means of doing him serious injury (which we shall try to prove at Mogadore). Moreover, our presence on the coast will recal the Moors from the frontier to the defence of their homes, and will thus facilitate the Marshal's operations. We can then warn the Emperor, that in spite of what has passed, we still desire peace, and that what we have done at Tangiers and Mogadore will prove that he must not trifle with us. If he wishes for peace, lot him hasten to grant us what we demand, and let acts follow words. If not, if he is not con tented, and if he continues to receive and encourage our enemies on the frontier, he must expect extremi ties from us. " On board the steam •boat Pluto, Mogadore, I7th August. " I arrived before Mogadore on the 11th instant. The weather was very bad, and for severals days we remained at anchor before the town, without even being able to communicate with one another. Al though we rode with two hundred fathoms of chain, the anchors broke like glass. " At length, on the 15th, the weather having taken up, I took advantage of it to attack the town. " The ships Jemappes and Triton took up a posi tion before the western batteries, with instructions to attack them, and to take the coast batteries in the rear. The Suffren and La Belle Poule took up their position in the northern passage. It was half-past one o'clock when our movement commenced. " As soon as the Arabs saw the vessels moving against the town, they opened fire from all the bat teries. Before replying to them, we waited until every ship had taken up its position. At half-past four o'clock the firing began to slacken. The brigs Cassard, Volage, and Argus then entered the port, and took up their position near the batteries of the island, with which they entered into a spirited con test. At length, at half-past five, the steam-boats, carrying 500 troops, entered the pass, and took up their position in the intervening spaces between the brigs, and the disembarkation of the men was imme diately effected. " The island was defended with the courage of despair by 320 men, Moors and Kabyles, who con stituted its garrison. A great number of them were killed ; 140 of them, who were shut up in a mosque, eventually surrendered. " Our losses in this day's proceedings amount to fourteen killed and sixty-four wounded. Officer killed :—M. Pottier, lieutenant of artillery. Officers wounded M. Bellanger, captain of a vessel (slightly) ; Duquesne, captain of a corvette (slightly) ; Couprent Desbois, lieutenant in the navy (severely) ; Blaize, mate in the navy (slightly); Martin des Pal.. lieres, sub-lieutenant of infantry (severely) ; Noel, volunteer of the second class (very severely). " The island having been taken, it only remained to us to destroy the batteries of the town, which lie opposite the harbour. Our cannon had already damaged them, but it was necessary to make them completely unfit for service. Yesterday, when under the cross fire of three steamers and two brigs, 500 men were disembarked ; they met with no resistance; we spiked the guns and threw some of them into the sea. We carried away some of them, swamped the powder magazines; in fine, we carried off or sunk all the vessels which were lying in the harbour. I believe that we could at that time have penetrated into the interior of the town without danger, but it would have been only a promenade without an object or without other result than useless pillage. I therefore abstained, and brought back the troops to the island, and the crews on board the ships. I am busy establishing on the island a garrison of 500 men. The occupation of the island without the blockade of the port would be but half a measure. I therefore follow your orders, in closing the port of Mogadore. The town at this moment is on fire, pillaged by the Arabs, who have taken possession, after having driven out the Imperial garrison. The English Consul, his family, and some Europeans, have just come to us. FRANCOIS DE ORLEANS. Mogadore, Aug. 17. " I will not close my dispatch without mentioning the services rendered by every person under my orders during the present campaign. Everybody served with a zeal inspired by the ardent lore of their coun try, its honour and interests, and with an absolute devotion to the service of the King. "Receive, M. le Ministre, the assurance of my re spect. "F. D'ORLEANS." " P.S. Amidst the occupations with which I am overwhelmed, I have no time to send you a detailed report. Captain Bonet, who will hand you this dis patch, will give you all the information you may de sire. I send by him the colours which waved on the city and on the batteries of the island. "F.
