MOROCCO.

A letter front Mogador of December 5, says :
" The Jewish and Moorish merchants, why have
just returned. from their journey to Morocco, are
loud in their praise of the reception given them by
the Emperor A.bdetrhaman. Contrary to custom
eight of the Jews received mules as presents ; to
others of the Jewish and Arad traders the Em-
peror offered rich pieces of stuffs in return for their
presents. Th e Kaid Brisha has returned to Mo-
gador at the ii.ead of a numerous cortege, amid
the salute of <la nnon, preceded by irregular troops,
and followed by the majority of the inhabitants,
who had gone out to meet him."

The Vienna journals do not agree in the view
that they tala ) of the announcement of Prince
Gortschakoff ia tat the Emperor of Russia accepts
the four points ,of guarantee. The Corriere Italiano
says—" Instriallted by the experience of the past
we must confess.; that we see in this an act worthy
of the historic subtlety of Russia." The Austrian
Correspondence:, which has the reputation of being
Ministerial, sFg 8—" We hail this provisional result
with great sati,si "action, and trust that France, Eng-
land, and Turk ey will consider it as sufficient for
negotiations for peace."

At a recent ailing of the Germanic Diet, says the
Post Ampt Giwette of Frankfort, the Prussian
Envoy deman, )d, in the name of the committee
charged to na; ik a a report on the proposition for
the abolition 01 F gaming establishments, that all
the contracts e tered into with the holders of tho
banks should be submitted to the assembly, which
was agreed to.

It is credibly 3 'elated that Prince Gortschakoff on
Saturday evenini in" the name of his Government,
solemnly pre•mis4 )d Colonel Manteuffel that Russia
would not, undei any circumstances, attack Austria
in the Principalities, or within her own dominions.

In its sitting '4: f the 9th, the Piedmontese Cham-
ber of Deputies p assed a bill for the construction of
a railway from Ss ~vigliano to Saluzzo, and another
for the completio, a of the fortifications of Casale.

The only Madri 'd journal of the 7th which has

important. That day being Saturday, the Stock
Exchange was nut open.

ROYAL ARTILLERY.

On Thursday 50 additional men of the Royal Artillery
attached to the V Troop, marched from Ipswich bar-
racks for Woolwich, preparatory for embarkation for
the Crimea, and on the same day a company of
artillery of about 300 men with a great number of
horses, under the command of Captain Marriott,
marched into the Ipswich barracks from Woolwich.

, Eleven companies of the 'Royal Artillery are now
under orders to proceed to the Crimea from Woolwich ;
two of these are heavy field batteries, their guns re-
quiring 12 horses, and each company numbering 280
men.
Fifty wounded non-conamissierhoa yflacora and gunners
of, the Royal Artillery, sent home from the
Crimea, arrived at Woolwich yesterday, and were con-
veyed immediately to the Ordnance Hospital, where
every attention will be paid to them.

The draft from the 14th Regiment, now in Cork Bar-
racks awaiting the arrival of the Princess Royal, consists
of the following officers and men :—Brevet Lieutenant
Colonel Watson ; Captain Newman ; Lieutenants
Warren, Hall, Saunders, and Dods ; Ensigns Armstrong
and Bradley ; 4 serjeants, 4 corporals, 1 drummer, and
131 privates.

yesterday morning for Chatham, per the Falcon steamer.
It consists of 1 officer (Lieutenant Olivey), 2 serjeants, 3
corporals, 2 drummers, 155 privates, with 8 women and
7 children.
Hon. Mr. Crofton and Mr. Graham, both midship-
men on board the St. Jean d'Acre, were unable to
proceed in her to the Crimea, having been away from
Cork on the day of her arrival in the harbour. Mr.
Creagh, who was mate of the St. Jean d'Acre, was
in time to proceed in her. Messrs. Crofton and
Graham will be allowed to embark in the Princess
Royal.
John S. White, Esq., of Douglas, has been appointed
to the commission of the peace, at the recommendation
of Lord Bandon, the lieutenant of the county.

FRANCE.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
The Moniteur says :
" According to letters from the Crimea, under
date of the 25th of December, the Russians made a
sortie on the night of the 20th of December, on the
left of the French lines, on the side of Fort Qua-
rantine.

"The 9th battalion of Chassours-h-Pied, which
was on duty, let them come up within 20 paces,
when they poured a volley into them, threw them
into disorder, and, then rushing forward, pursued
them till they were under the guns of the forts.
At the same time the Russians attacked the right of
the English army, but were driven back with con-
siderable loss. The batteries of bombs and mortars
did great havoc among them. The Russians lost
two field-guns.
" According to these same letters the sanitary
condition of the allied armies was excellent; dysen-
tery had nearly disappeared, and there were no
cases of cholera. The temperature was as mild as
that of Italy."
The Moniteur publishes the following account of
the departure cf Admiral Hamelin taken from the
Journal de Constantinople:—
Admiral Hamelin, accompanied by M. Bonet-
Willaunaez, embarked on the 24th of December, at
8 p.m., on board the Panama, which weighed
anchor the following morning at 7. While getting
under way the Montebello fired a salute of 19
guns, and the crows of the other vessels manned
the yards and gave three cheers for the Emperor
and Admiral Hamelin.
"As the Panama left the Bay of Kamiesh and
came among the English ships anchored outside,
the Agamemnon, bearing the flag of Vice-Admiral
Lyons, hoisted the French flag on the wizen, and
fired a salute of 19 guns, which was responded to
by the Napoleon. The English crews manned yards
and cheered lustily. The crew of the Panama re-
sponded by shouts of 'Vive l'_Eanpereur !" Vice
l'Amirat Hamelin!'
Yesterday and the day before the officers of the
detachments of the Imperial Guard, leaving for the
Crimea, dined with the Emperor and the Empress
at the Tuileries. After dinner their Majesties
joined the groups of their guests ; and when the
latter were taking leave, the E.mperor thus ad-
dressed them :—" My thoughts will follow you in
the distant country, where you axe going to fight
for the cause of right and for the honour of the
country." These words were received with en-
thusiastic cries of " Vive l'Einpereur !" Vice
l'lmperatrice ! "

"Admiral Hamelin arrived at Constantinople on
Tuesday the 26th, and proceeded to the palace of
the French embassy to pay a visit to his Imperial
Highness Prince Napoleon and M. Benedetti, the
Charg6 d'Affaires. On the following day Admiral
Hamelin visited the French hospitals. During this
visit Vice-Admiral Ahmed Pasha, commanding the
Ottoman squadron in the Black Sea, had been on
board the Christophe Colombo, placed at the dis-
posal of Admiral Hamelin, to take leave of the
French Admiral.
"At

MISCELLANEOUS.

By order of the Lords of the Admiralty the Russian
prisoners captured in the Atlantic, condemned as a law-
ful prize, in the port of Leith, have been released, and
permitted to enter themselves as merchant seamen to
navigate British vessels to Australia, giving their pa-
role not to Lear arms against Britain or France during
the present war.
Lieutenant Rogers, of the irethusa, Mr. Kerr, mid-
shipman, 2G invalids, and a seaman, who was wrecked
off the Katschka, on the 14th of November, when the
Sampson was dismasted, hate come by her. She has
been very healthy, Laving bad no disease, and only one
death on board since she left England under Captain
Jones's (now of the London, 90) command, two years

GREAT SOUTHERN AND WESTERN.

The traffic receipts on this line for the year 1854
amounted to 288,143/„ and for the year 1853 to 290,1491.,
showing a decrease of 2,0061. This apparent decrease
in the receipts of 1854, as compared with those of 1853,
arose from the extraordinary increase in the traffics on
this line, in common with other Irish 'railways, caused
by the Great Exhibition in Dublin in 1853. The natural
increase of traffic would probably not have been more
than one-half that which took place in 1853 in conse-
quence of the Exhibition, and had it not been for that
cause the receipts in 1854 would have been higher, and
have shown a progressive increase over those of 1853,
instead of a decrease.

THE TRANSPORT SERVICE.

The Marley Hill (No. 160), steam transport, sailed
yesterday for the Crimea.
Yesterday, 500 barrels of winter boots, each con-
taining 30, were shipped from the Tower-wharf, to be
put on board the transports at Woolwich for conveyance
to the Crimea. These boots aro made for the upper
leather to reach the hip, perfectly waterproof, and are
met at the tops by a waterproof cape, the ends of which
strap to the trunk of the boot, completely shielding the
wearer from all outward moisture.
We are requested to state that recently a clerk has
been added to the dockyard establishment at Ports-
mouth under Rear-Admiral Martin, whose business it
is to take charge of, register, and forward all boxes,
parcels, and packages for our officers and men at the
seat of war in the East. All consignments for that dis-
tant service should therefore be sent direct to the de-
posit store at the Admiral Superintendent's office, in-
stead of through the Commander-in-Chief's office as here-
tofore. The carriage of all consignments must be paid
to Portsmouth dockyard.

ARRIVAL OF THE AVON.

The Avon, steam-transport, arrived in harboi tr this
morning from the Crimea and Malta. She has 'lx:ought
home 214 wounded and invalided soldiers from e cutari,
under the direction of Mr. Tydd, Assistant-Suii ;eon of
the 58th Regiment. The officers, all of Wit4,o2 are
wounded, who have come by this ship are Major Mac-
donald, 92d Regt., aide-de-camp to Brigadier-G eneral
Pennefather ; Capt. Buller, Rifle Brigade ; Lieut. i Sayer,
23d Regt.; Lieut. Buller, 57th Regt.; and Lieut. C !urrie,
19th. The Avon has also brought home 25 diet reseed
British subjects, seamen of ships wrecked in the 4 ;ale in
the Black Sea. These have proceeded to their r espec-
tive homes. As soon as the Avon got alongsi( le the
dockyard those of the sick and wounded who re quired
to be taken to the hospital were conveyed th( ‘re on
stretchers. They were 17 in number. With tl le ex-
ception of three, all these were cases of sickness, chiefly
diarrhoea. There is a remarkable difference lifitween
the bearing of the men who are sick and those wtho are
wounded. The latter are cheerful, and joke each. other
about their maimed or lost limbs ; but the form ar look
quite exhausted, are worn down to skeletons, anid 'wear
altogether a most pitiful appearance. The troic.ps re-
main on board to-night, and will be forwarded .on to-
morrow to Chatham. The Avon shared in the die struc-

tive effects of the great hurricance in the Blacl Sea,
Her paddle-boxes are stove in, and her mizenmaist cut
a.say. In other respects she is in good cenditio n and
order, being much cleaner than the Himalaya ~VA2 when
she came home. The Avon's dates are the same at: those
of the Sampson steam-frigate.

TILE FRENCH LOAN.

Three thousand persona, chiefly of the working,
classes and servants, formed a queue before day-
light this (Friday) morning, waiting until the offi-
ces were opened at the Treasury ; and so anxious
were people to get near the doors that 30, 40, and
even 50 francs were paid for places.

A letter from Bordeaux this morning states that
the peasants and farmers were coming in in crowds,
headed by the mayors of the villages, to subscribe,
" quite," adds the writer, "as if they were coming
in to vote once more for the Presidency for life
of Napoleon Buonaparte, or for the Empire."

ARRIVAL OF THE SA. MTSON.

PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 11.—The Sampson, 6, paddle-
wheel steam-frigate of 467 horse-power, Captain Lewis
T. Jones, arrived at Shithead thic morning from
the Crimea and Malta. She left Malta on the 30th of
December, arrived at Gibraltar Jan. 4, and left on th
6th for England. This ship, it will be recollected, suf-
fered most severely from the effects of the great gale in
the Black Sea, when so many transports were lost or
disabled. She bears evidence of the severity of the trial
to which she was put. When the gale was at its
highest, the transports (No. 1 and 2), Pyrenees and
Ganges, came down upon her in company, having fouled,
and within the space of a minute her three masts, bow-
sprit, and figure-head were all carried clean away. It
was a matter of astonishment that the ship did not go
down from the concussion. That she did not is mainly
owing to the presence of mind of Captain Jonen and the
efficiency of his officers and crew, joined to the faet that
the Sampson had steam up in anticipation of the gale,
and by which she was enabled to force her way between
the two transports, separating them from each other.
The crash is described as being terrific. The Sampson
has come under jury masts, put into her at Malta, and
in place of her own figurehead she had mounted at her
bows the figurehead of the Ganges, which was left by
the latter vessel on board the Sampson at the tame of the
crash. In addition to these injuries from the violence of
the weather this ship has a number of shell and cannon
shot marks which she received at Odessa and Sebastopol.
She is, however, still a noble ship, and will well repay
the cost of a refit. She has come home without her
guns. Two of them were landed at Balaklava for the
use of the naval brigade before Sebastopol, and the other
four were left at Malta for any service for which they
may be required. The boilers of this ship require repairs,
but she still has made a fine passage home, averaging
about 10 knots per hour from Malta. It is expected she
will be sent to Woolwich for repairs. The Spiteful and
Ardent were at Malta when she left, and the Heola, 6,
paddle-sloop, at Gibraltar. The Malacca, 14, screw-
sloop, Captain Farquhar, had arrived at Gibraltar from
England, and gone on to the Black Sea. On the Ist of
January a large thrcodeeker laden with troops was
passed—supposed to be the Neptune, 120.
The Sampson
has brought home 26 wounded and sick invalids from
the fleet, comprising seamen and marines ; also Lieu-
tenant Rogers of the Arethusa, 50, and Mr. Kerr, mid-
shipman, from the same ship. One of her own lieu-
tenants, the Hon. M. H. Nelson, was left at Sebastopol,
engaged in service in the trenches, with the naval brigade.
M. Crispi, an Italian avocat, the editor of the Maltese
paper Stazelta, and expelled from Malta for a political
offence, has had a passage to England in the Sampson.

" GENERAL ORES•

" The Commander:in-Chief is happy to have to
communicate to the troops the expressions, most
honourable for our arms, in which her Majesty the
Queen of England appreciates their conduct at
the battle of Inkerman.

" The Queen has remarked with grateful satisfac-
tion the vigour with which the troops of her ally, the
Emperor of the French, came to the assistance of the
divisions of the English army engaged in so un-
equal a combat. Her Majesty is profoundly sen-
sible of the cordial co-operation of the Commander-
in-Chief, General Canrobert, and of the valiant
conduct of that distinguished officer, General Bos-
quet. She beholds in the cheers with which the
soldiers of the two nations mutually encouraged
each other during the action proofs of the reciprocal
esteem which this campaign and the traits of
bravery it has produced hare given rise to on both
sides.

" Her Majesty the Queen of England could not
praise in a more flattering manner the attitude of
the army at the battle of Inkernaan. In marching
to the aid of our brave allies -we fulfilled a duty
which they themselves would fulfil towards us with
that valour we know they possess, and so many
proofs of which we have witnessed with our own
eyes.

• THE PRINCIPALITIES.
The Corriere Italian° of Vienna contains a letter
from Bucharest of the Ist, which says :—" To judge
by the arrangements made by the Russian Govern-
ment on our frontiers, it would not seem that the
Czar entertains any hope of speedy peace. On the
contrary, ho is preparing for a war a outrance.
The neighbouring governments are teeming with
troops ; corps d'armee are marching rapidly towards
our frontier and towards the Crimea. A great
number of men are employed. in fortifying the left
bank of the Danube from the mouth of the Pruth
to Kilia. Considerable forces are concentrated at
Reni, and the park of artillery which is placed
there consisted of upwards of 100 large guns. The
entrance of the port. of Reni is provided with
strong batteries, and defended by pallissades and
an enormous chain. Prince Gorts?bakoff is con-
stantly on the road, but it is in particular along the
Pruth and the Danube that he pays most at teution.
On the other hand, Ibrail, Tultscha, and Isatscba
are fortified according to the plans of the French
and English officers."

TEE FRENCH LOAN.

Three thousand persons, chiefly of the working
classes and servants, formed a queue before day-
light this (Friday) morning, waiting until the offi-
ces were opened at the Treasury ; and so anxious
wore people to get near the doors that 30, 40, and
even 50 francs were paid for places.

A letter from Bordeaux this morning states that
the peasants and farmers were coming in in crowds,
headed by the mayors of the villages, to subscribe,
" quite," adds the writer, "as if they were coming
in to vote once more for the Presidency for life
of Napoleon Buonaparte, or for the Empire."

THEATER ROYAL DUBLIN.—The pantomime of Whit-
tington and his Cat continues to amuse the old and
young, without losing any of its attractions. "The
transformation," says the Evening Packet, " is a happy
one, for we are introduced to a new danseuse, and we
congratulate Mr. Harris upon his admirable selection of
Madle. Louise Le Clercq as Columbine. We do not
remember to have ever seen a better one ; and she not
only appears une charmante personne, but an artiste of
no small pretension. She has evidently been well
taught, and possesses sufficient ability to become une
celebre dans la robe. The Dance Espagnole, introduced
towards the end is very pretty and somewhat original.
Taking this as a specimen of Merle. Le elercq's capa-
bilities, we hope to have further opportunity of judging
of her talent on future occasions. Harlequin is an excel-
lent attendant upon Columbine, while Messrs. Seymour
and Johnson, as Clown and Pantaloon, fall in and out
with one another to the manifest delight of all the little
ones present."

LATEST NEWS.

THE WAR ON THE DANUBE.

We have rceived the following telegraphic de-

spatch from Vienna :
VIENNA, SATURDAY, JAN. 13, 9 A.M.
The Vienna Post has the following :
" The war on the Danube has recommenced.
" The Russians have entered the Dobrudscha.

" They crossed the Danube at Tultscha, and

are marching on Matschin."

We have received the following telegraphic
despatch from Paris

PARIS, SATURDAY, $.30 .A.M.

The Moniteur announces that the blockade of
the Russian ports of the Black Sea will commence
after the Ist February next.
A telegraphic despatch from Turin announces
the death of the Queen-Dowager of Bavaria on
the 12th inst.

According to private accounts, of a completely
reliable character, from St. Petersburg, great
distress is experienced in that city, and much
dissatisfaction prevails at the hardships imposed
by the war. It is mentioned that in all the

churches prayers are now °tiered for peace. A
religious services in Russia are subject to the
direct control of the Government, this statement
is somewhat remarkable.

THE TRANSPORT SERVICE.

The Marley Hill (No. 169), steam Jransport, sailed
yesterday for the Crimea.
Yesterday, 500 barrels of winter boots, each con-
taining 30, were shipped from the Tower-wharf, to be
put on board the transports at Woolwich for conveyance
to the Crimea. These boots are made for the upper
leather to reach the hip, perfectly waterproof, and are
met at the tops by a waterproof cape, the ends of which
strap to the trunk of the boot, completely shielding the
wearer from all outward moisture.
We are requested to state that recently a clerk has
been added to the dockyard establishment at Ports-
mouth under Rear-Admiral Martin, whose business it
is to take charge of, register, and forward all boxes,
parcels, and packages for our officers and men at the
seat of war in the East. All consignments for that dis-
tant service should therefore be sent direct to the de-
posit store at the Admiral Superintendent's office, in-
stead of through the Commander-in-Chief's office as here-
tofore. The carriage of all consignments must be paid
to Portsmouth dockyard.

" The Queen has remarked with grateful satisfac-

Emperor of the French, came to the assistance of the
divisions of the English army engaged in so un-
equal a combat. Her Majesty is profoundly sen-
sible of the cordial co-operation of the Commander-
in-Chief, General Canrobert, and of the valiant
conduct of that distinguished officer, General Bos-
quet. She beholds in the the ers with which the
soldiers of the two nations mutually encouraged
each other during the action proofs of the reciprocal
esteem which this campaign 2.nd the traits of
bravery it has produced hare given rise to on both
sides.

NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.

The Royal George, 120, screw, Captain Codringtou,
is still in the Sheerness basin, on the east side. They
are cutting a space forward for the Lancaster gun to
work.

The Majestic, 80, screw, Captain Hope, C. 8., is still
in 13heerness dock, rigged throughout. Yesterday
morning her main-shaft was got out, and will be sent by
steamer to Woolwich to have the defects made good ; it
appears some exist i❑ the after part of the beamings,
which are brass, and are much worn. The shipwrights
are still working at her, and she is to be coppered higher
up ; her crew are on leave, and she will not be out of
the engineers' hands for some time yet, consequently be
detained in dock.

The Molampus, 42, troop-ship, Commander Borlase,
is still fitting out in Sheerness basin. She wants arti•
ficers, able seamen, and petty officers ; and is ultimately
destined as a depot ship at Constantinople.
The Elk, 20, Captain Birch, sailed from Spithead yes-

terday.
The Desperate, 8, screw, is still moored on the west
shore at Sheerness. She flies no pendant now, and her
crew have drafted to the Pylades,
The Prince Albert, chartered sailing transport, sailed
yesterday morning, from Spithead, for the West Indies.
Tho Feliza, of Bristol, Captain Tease, has now dis-
charged the whole of her cargo of mahogany from Hon-
duras into her Majesty's yard at Sheerness. She has
taken in a portion of her ballast, and yesterday hauled
out of the basin into th© stream, where sho will ship her
crew, and next week proceed to take in a cargo of Welsh
coal for Malta.

THE WAR ON THE DANUBE

ARRIVAL OF THE

PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 11.-1-The
wheel steam-frigate of 467 horse-pi
T. Jones, arrived at Spithead earl•
the Crimea and Malta. She left

December, arrived at Gibraltar Jan. 4, and loft on th I
6th for England. This ship, it will be recollected, suf-
fered most severely from the effects of the great gale in
the Black Sea, when so many transports were lost or
disabled. She bears evidence of the severity of the trial
to which she was put. When the gale was at its
highest, the transports (No. 1 and 2), Pyrenees and
Ganges, came down upon her in company, having fouled,
and within the space of a minute her three masts, bow-
sprit, and figure-head were all carried clean away. It
was a matter of astonishment that the ship did not go
down from the concussion. That she did not is mainly
owing to the presence of mind cf Captain Jones and the
efficiency of his officers and crew, joined to the fact that
the Sampson had steam up in anticipation of the gale,
and by which she was enabled to force her way between
the two transports, separating them from each other.
The crash is described as being terrific. The Sampson
has come under jury masts, put into her at Malta, and
in place of her own figurehead she had mounted at her
bows the figurehead of the Ganges, which was left by
the latter vessel on board the Sampson at the time of the
crash. In addition to these injuries from the violence of
the weather this ship has a number of shell and cannon
shot marks which she received at Odessa and Sebastopol.
She is, however, still a noble ship, and will well repay
the cost of a refit. She has come home without her
guns. Two of them were landed at Balaklava for the
use of the naval brigade before Sebastopol, and the other
four were left at Malta for any service for which they
may be required. The boilers of this ship require repairs,
but she still has made a fine passage home, averaging
about.lo knots per hour from Malta. It is expecteit she
will be sent to Woolwich for repairs. The Spitefu:t and
Ardent were at Malta when she left, and the flee la, 6,
paddle•sloop, at Gibraltar. The Malacca, 14, screw-
sloop, Captain Farquhar, had arrived at Gibraltnr from
England, and gone on to the Black Sea. On an) Ist of
January a large thrceffecker laden with troops was
passed—supposed to be the Neptune, 120. The So mpson
has brought home 26 wounded and sick invalid s from
the fleet, comprising seamen and marines ; also Lieu-
tenant Rogers of the Arethusa, 50, and Mr. Ker r, mid-
shipman, from the same ship. One of her ow n lieu-
tenants, the Hon. M. H. Nelson, was left at Seba stopol,
engaged in service in the trenches, with the naval b! rigade.
M. Crispi, an Italian avocat, the editor of the 3 taltese
paper Stazelta, and expelled from Malta for a 1? 3litical
offence, has had a passage to England in the S: mpson.
