The Moniteur Alger:en, of the 16th of December contains
the following :-
" The Acheron steam vessel arrived to-day from Bons,
but having twice been obliged to put back on account of bad
weather, the last news from Constantine are only of the 3d.
At that time the greatest tranquillity still prevailed in the pro-
vince. Two convoys, one of provisions and another of cloth-
ing and beds for the army, had arrived safe, having traversed,
without the slightest obstacle, the country between Mendjiz-el-
--laminar and Constantine.
" The garrison amounted to five thousand men ; and the
cholera having ceased, the general state of health of the troops
was very re-assuring. The communications between the
Commandant and the tribes, were most pacific. The markets
were regularly provisioned, and the inhabitants, who bad
quitted the city during the siege, had almost all returned.
" The defensive works of the place were almost entirely
terminated, the breach having been closed, and the Cazbah
put in a state of defence. The engineers were occupies' in
repairing the barracks and other military buildings; the garri-
son was performing its daily manoeuvres, and nothing bad
troubled the daily course of things.
The Sheik of the desert, Feral Ben Sagiei, bad left Con-
stantine in pursuit of Achmet, whose personal enemy be is.
Reports also had reached the Commandant of Constantine,
that Achmet had been defeated in a combat with several tribes
which formerly were allied to him, and had been obliged to
fly into the desert. The courier communications between
Constantine and Bona continued to be safe and direct."
HOLLAND AND BELGIUM -The intelligence of the march
of a detachment of Belgic troops is confirmed. The 7th and
12th regiments, forming a brigade of six battalions (say 3,600
ne
bayonets), with two squadrons and eight field pieces bare,
already moved upon Arlon, under the command of Gera`
Olivier. This movement is called by the Belgic Government
~ a measure of precaution ;" but it is, in fact, utterly useless.
Reports were current at Brussels on Friday that it was the in-
tention of the Dutch Government to compel all Belgian ves-
sels, outward or inward bound, to exhibit their papers on pass-
ng Rammekens (near Flushing), and to exact from them eer-
.
;am light-house and buoyage dues, but they were contradicted.
