It A
T Of SUNDAY, 25th of Aram, will contain,

was a total disregard and defiance of
all public decency and religious feeling.
Unaffected by the religious service he had at-
tended, he tortured a fellow-creature on the
Sabbath ; and there is no appearance that any
of his officers remonstrated. They all, perhaps,
including the surgeon and chaplain, looked on
it as a customary trifle, made no complaint, and
acquiesced in this brutal desecration of the day
of peace and rest. The Standard says, "Woe
awaits us when we shall have any other than a,
Christian army ;" but what sort of an army
have we now, when such conduct as that of Lore.
CARDIGAN is tolerated by officers and men, anti is
taken no notice of by his superiors? The general
feelings and practices of the army, which are
intimated by this proceeding, are calculated to
excite sorrow and apprehension.

bamboozled them, by expressed or implied pro-
mises, to turn out the Whigs, and re-establish,
wider some guise or other, the old corruptions
vaid the old Oppressions. The Conservative
leaders cannot realise their own promises and the
expectations of their followers, and hence their
dupes begin to look on them as a parcel of poli-
tical-cheats. This is a conviction founded in the
nature of things, which every day.will strengthen;
and add to the number of those who entertain it.
• The undoubted fact is, that Conservatism is
altogether a lie; and " man," as Mr. CARLYLE
-says, " is everywhere the born enemy of lies."
It pretends to be founded on religion, while it
seeks only pelf. It lays claim to exclusive holi-
ness, when it has all the worst vices of our
common nature. It has in. its mouth no
other words than public good and social
order, meaning all the while a bread tax
and the slavery of the multitude. It talks
of public happiness—it menus the aggran-
disement of a few worthless idlers at the expense
of the industrious millions. It pretends to be
loyal to the Throne, while it thinks only of seiz-
ing power for itself. Prostituting the best and
holiest names, such as public order and religion,
to its own party purposes, Conservatism is, from
beginning to end, one great and terrible lie. Its
dupes begin to find it out.
The Church and Conservatism are nearly one
and the same,"for Conservative politics all centre
in upholding the Church. Hence our Contem-
porary, when he talks of "a Conservative party
in Parliament making the fitith and the spirit of
Christianity its rule," opposed as he is to the Dis-
.senters, must mean, the faith and spirit of Chris-•
tianity as found in the Church. It adopts, then,
the policy of rallying all Conservatives round the
Church, having for standard-bearers the Bishop
of EXETER and Sir It. Ircous. Now of this
Church—or rather of the priesthood, which in all
political squabbles is what the word Church
stands for, and never for the congregations—the
present number of the .Edinbtirgil lieviezo gives
us an instructive picture. It first shows that alt
the Puseyite party are sophistical Jesuits, play-
ing with words as children do with toy maps,
eilucking them together without any regard to
their real place ; and :next, it shows that all the
non-Puseyites in the Church require a similar
latitude to enable them to have a reasonably quiet
conscience. We will quote the passages:—
" Here is a man, who, on being ordained a clergyman
of the Church of England, swore in the most public, the
most positive, the most sacred mariner, that he believed that
Genetal Councils, without the least hint of any ex-
c ption, may err, in things pertaining to God, and delibe-
rately dee.aring that some lieneral Councils are infallible.
What .oan after this need hesitate to take any oath, however
repignant to his sentiments, if he may without breach of
conscience afterwards insert any exception he chooses? What
but the terror of a Court of Law, that judges only by the letter,
need ever bind a man down to keep, not his promise only, but
his oath ? What Jesuit needs scruple to uphold the morality of
mental reservations, if Mr. Newman's exceleion is moral?
Let us suppose some Roman Catholics to have taken the oath
of allegiance to the Queen, and to have been afterwards de-
tected in a conspiracy against her throne and her life, and
let us suppose such an one to be asked, how he re-
conciled his trea'on with his oath ; why should he not answer
that his oath was intended to be kept only when his duty to
the King of kings did not require otherwise, and that the duty
of dethroning heretics, when practieab:e, was a real though
unexpressed exception to his oath ? What would be the feeling
of all England on hearing such an answer? Why, both in past
and present ages, have such mental reservations excited the
detestation and abhorrence of all men? Why have all r,

Next we have a Minister of the Crown ex-
pressing little or no indignation at this outrage.
It was something Mr. MACAIJLAY could
not reconcile to good taste and good feel-
ing. Instead of being violently offended at
the thought of a human being tied up
and lashed till he bleeds ; instead of al-
most sickening with horror at such a cruel
punishment being inflicted on a Sunday, Mr.
MACAULAY indulged in an eulogium on Lord
CARDIGAN'S humanity. That is for us a very sad
indication of the state of feeling ih those states-
men to whom we look for a moral example as
well as to guide the national policy.
Finally, we have a journalist who lays claim to
a prodigious respect fbr religion, who demands
more churches, and seems inclinednever to men-
tion the name of the Church without bowing the
head in reverence, who would not fbr the world
write a political article on Christmas or Easter
days—finally we have this super-religious jour-
nalist putting fbrth excuses for the conduct of
Lord CARDIGAN in the general practices of the
army. We have inserted a part of the Standard
article, and need not quote it here. We see in
it, however, an indication of that complete hypo.
crisy and hollow-heartedness which pervades the
whole of the Church and Conservative party.
The Conservatives see with horror a few workmen,
pent up in a close workshop for six days in the
week, enjoying themselves in the fields and in
the parks of a Sunday, running by railway down
to Greenwich, or steaming up to Richmond;
then they lift up their hands and eyes, and cry
out against the immorality of the age; but
they excuse, by the general practice of the
army, the brutal desecration of the Sabbath by
Lord CARDIGAN. The hypocrisy of the Con-
servatives, the deadened feelings of public
men, and the reckless disregard of all respect-
able and religious feeling in the army, which are
thus indicated, seem to us even more aflUxting
than the mere act of flogging a soldier on the
Sabbath.

LARGE FORTUNES,
HEINE BROTHERS, :It HAMBURGII and at
LUBECK,

We gave in our Second Edition on Tuesday a
full account of the magnificent entertainment
given to Sir CHARLES NAPIER at Liverpool on
Monday, by. the Mayor, Town Council, and the
first merchants of that wealthy and enterprising
town. Men of all sects and parties, religious as
well as political, joined in the well-merited
tribute conferred on an officer alike remarkable
for skill in battle, and straightforward and upright
conduct in negotiations. It will be seen from an
address in another part of the paper, that the
same honour has been prepared for him at
the first manufacturing town in the empire,
and that the Mayor and Burgesses of Manches-
ter were to entertain the Gallant Commodore at
a public dinner yesterday, in commemoration of
their gratitude for the early termination of the
horrors of war, and for the restoration of the in-
estimable blessings of peace. Wherever he goes
he will be received with acclamations, and loud
expressions of praise for the honour he has con-
ferred on his native country. He will be in
London probably by to-morrow or this day, and
we have no doubt that in this mart of the world,
the queen of cities, celebrated for her wealth,
trade, commerce, and liberality, and we
may add gratitude, he will be received
with the same unanimous welcome. The
Magistrates and Burgesses of London will
not allow themselves to be outdone by Liverpool
or Manchester, and, though not first in the field,
they will be proud to follow so noble an exam-
ple, and confer honour on a man who, while he
so nobly fought the battles of his country, ac-
quired the friendship and the esteem of the
enterprising and warlike. Egyptian whom he was
reluctantly compelled to attack. This is a duty
incumbent on all parties. The origin of the con-
test is entirely out of the question. Commodore
NAPIER was bound as a servant of the
Sovereign to obey the commands of her
Ministers, and he carried these commands
into effect with a rapidity and decision unequalled
perhaps in ancient or modern warfare. As soon
as the attack commenced at Beyrout, the British
fleet, with a handful of troops, swept along the
Syrian coast like a hurricane, and in one month
put an end to a contest which, under the guid-
ance of a less skilful commander, might have
entailed tenfold suffering, not only on the un-
happy people of that country, but on the civilised
world. For this he deserves great praise. But
his conduct in battle does not form the
only or the principal part of his achieve-
ments. His negotiations with the PACHA ; his
anxiety to do justice to a fallen and a
generous enemy ; his patriotic determination to
maintain the honour of his country, and adhere
manfully to what he considered the spirit of the
treaty, notwithstanding the rebuke of his Admi-
ral, and the wicked machinations at Constanti-
nople, do him the highest honour, and call for
the warmest congratulations from every friend
of mercy, justice, and peace. To him the citi-
zens of London, the first commercial city in the
world, above all others, are deeply indebted ;
and we doubt not that they will take the
first opportunity of testifying their sense of his
merits by some public demonstration. Even
France, so jealous of this country, can take
no umbrage at this display. NAPIER obtained
no victory over her, he carried his orders into
effect against the aggressions of MEHEMET ALI,
and his only remaining objects now are to secure
the fulfilment of the treaty to the fullest extent,
and place the relations between Turkey and
Egypt on a safe and honourable footing, calcu-
lated alike to preserve peace between the two
countries, and all the great Powers of Europe.

pectable Catholics been so extremely vehement of late years in
disclaiming the least participation in them? Because they ans
loaded with the guilt of falsehood in its most heinous form ;
because they insert, after the promise, exceptions unexpressed
at the time it was made—exceptions contradicting the very
words of the pledge given—deceiving the imposer of the
pledge—and destroying all confidence in the honour and good
faith of mankind. And where is the difference between the
mental reservation of the Jesuit and the exception of Mr.
Newman? In principle there is none whatever. They both
alike are violations of the cardinal rule for the observance of
engagements that they are to be kept in the sense with which
he who gives the promise believes the other to impose it. They
vitiate the !ledge given, and convert it into an instrument of
deceit. Indeed we greatly wonder that an English clergyman,
admired by a large party, and pretending to be a revi'er of
holiness and Christian principle, should thus teach his fol-
lowers how to say one thing and mean another. Had 11r.
Newman boldly proclaimed that he did not agree with the
Article, his offence would have been much less. But to differ
from the Article, and then to endeavour to persuade h.nest
and scrupulous consciences that they may lawfully and religiously
swear they agree with the Article, yet by means of an arbi-
trary and unexpressed exception, may believe just the con-
trary, is something which we will not characterize as it de-
serves."

" We shall probably be met with the question,—' What,
then, is every one who subscribes the Articles obliged to agree
with the most minute statement contained in them, inter-
preted in its original and fairest sense ?' We frankly answer,
No. It is impossible that so extensive a document, embracing
such a vast number of propositions, varying in importance
from the highest principles of religion to mere details of ordi-
nary life, should have remained unaltered for centuries, and
yet continue to be in entire harmony with the opinions of men ;
that the progress of thought and knowledge, the advances
made in history, antiquity, criticism, &c., should have left un-
touched all and each of its many statements. It is an evil
very much to be deplored that the Articles, no more than the
University statutes, the obs rvance of which is equally enforced
upon oath, are not brought in unison with the times. But since it
is not so— since men are still called upon to pledge themselves to
them in their ancient and unaltered fot m—the only way in which
we conceive it possible for an honest man to ju,tify the act to
his conscience is, to satisfy himself that he thoroughly and
unreservedly assents to their essential spirit ; and that he does
not differ from them but upon points which may be departed
from without breakmg away from the fundamental truths
which they lay down as the constitutive principles of the Church
of England."
W e have little doubt, from the spirit of the
whole article, that it is written by some distin-
guished member of the Low Church party; and
taking it, therefore, as authority, can anything
be more melancholy for the whole body of par-
sons, and more hopeless for the nation, than the
picture it sets before us ? The clergy, according
to theie extracts, do not, and cannot, believe the
Articles they swear to. Time has made innova-
tions in them. One party tries to reason a diffe-

rent meaning into them, and the other swears tb
them with a secret reservation, or gives to them
a meaning of its own. The clergy are all sensi-
ble that the State Church is a falsehood, and
their whole lives are passed in vain at-

We yesterday quoted from . the volume of
Correspondence on the Eastern Question, just
presented .to Parliament, an extract from a des-
patch from the Russian Plenipotentiary, Baron
BRUNNOw, to Count NESSELRODE, which ap-
peared to us to demonstrate that Lord PALMER-
STON had been wanting in his duty as a British
Foreign Minister, when, in September last, he
consented to entrust Russia with the protection
of Constantinople, provided three or four British
ships of the line were, for mere form's sake, suf-
fered to enter the Straits of the Dardanelles.
We now publish, in another part of The Smi,
Lord PALMERSTON'S despatch to the Marquis of
CLANRICARDE, our Ambassador at the Court of
St. Petersburgh, on the same subject, in which we
are astonished to find his Lordship's testimony
of the fulness and fidelity of the Noble Baron's
report of the interview between such very un-
equal adepts in the art of diplomacy. But mo-
derate, and, under the circumstances, pusiliali-
mous as was Lord PALMERSTON'S proposition of
sending a mockery of a naval force to co-operate
with Russia in the Bosphorus, it was not without
great difficulty—not without a conviction that by
no other means could the British and French
alli-
ance be broken up—that the EMPEROR con-
sented to it. And when he did consent, and the
Treaty was signed, Baron BRUNNOW was ex-
pressly commanded to demand from Lord
PALMERSTON the amount of the naval force to
be placed at the disposal of the SULTAN. The
object of this demand, which, with the answer to
it, we have also quoted, was evidently to ob-
tain from Lord PALMERSTON an Vofficial
statement -of the force destined to enter
the Dardanelles. Lord PALMERSTON appears
to have understood this, and hastens to set the
EMPEROR at rest on the subject el his cherished
wish to become alone master of Constantinople.
"The amount of naval force," says his Lordship
in his note of the 15th of July, "which we could
spare for such a purpose (the defence of Constan-
tinople) must necessarily be limited by a conside-
ration of the aggregate amount of our squadron
in the Mediterranean and of the other services
which
.that squadron will have to perform ; and I
had occasion to make known to your Court, by a
despatch which I addressed to Lord CLANRICARDE
in October last, that in such a case we should be
able to send but a small number of ships to the
Sea of Marmora. I have now communicated
with Lord MINTo, and I have to state that our
Mediterranean squadron consists of the ships
mentioned in the accompanying list ; and consi-
dering the various duties which that squadron.
will have to perform, we could not conveniently
undertake to despatch more than three or four
ships of the line, with a proportion of frigates
and steamers, to co•.operate with the Russian ships,
in the event of the SULTAN requiring the aid of
the he' o Powers for the defence of his capital."
Would it ever be supposed from this language
that the object of Lord PALMERSTON was to give
a pledge to Russia not that he could not but that
he would not send more than three or four ships
of the line to the Dardanellts in the event of the
Russian fleet entering the Bosphorus ? By a re-
ference to his Lordship's despatch to the Marquis !
of CLANRICARDE it will be seen that his great
difficulty was to obtain Russia's permission to
send a single British ship up the Straits. Mark,
too, that the three or four ships were only to ;
be spared at the personal request of the SULTAN—
a request which Lord PALMERSTON well knew
Russia, when mistress of his capital, would never
suffer him to make. But before Lord PALMER-
STON wrote this jesuitical note he had performed
the business of Russia, and only sought to con•
coct a document to throw dust in the eyes
of the British House of Commons. For what
vas there to protect of Turkey, with Constanti-
oople garrisoned by a Russian army ? Of what
importance is it to England What estimate the
inhabitants of Syria form of our prowess pro-
vided we sink into insignificance at Constan-
inople ?

The publication of these documents will more
an ever endear the Gallant Commodore NA-
PIER to his countrymen. But for the prompt
gallantry of this heroic officer Lord PALMERSTON
had prepared a train the firing of which would
have blown up the Ottoman empire. For Con-
stantinople once again fairly in the occupation of
Russia, the House of OTIIIVIAN, to parody the la-
conic decree of NAPOLEON, would have ceased
.o reign ; and occupied Constantinople would
have been by Russia, but for the series of bril-
liant victories obtained by the Gallant Commo-
dore on the coast of Syria, which compelled
IBRA Him PACHA to evacuate that Province.
By a prodigy of British valour, as yet neither
duly appreciated nor rewarded by the British
Government, Turkey has been saved from the
open violence of her enemies, and the more dan-
gerous wiles of her pretended friends.
If our readers regard as too severe these stric-
tures upon the conduct of a Minister, who has
hitherto had, from equally pure and patriotic
motives, our humble need ofsupport, our answer
is, the documents are before them, and they are
welcome to take a more favourable view of it, if
they can do so consistently with a due regard to
the interests of the country. The facts from
which we form ourjudgment are sufficiently simple
and intelligible—Lord PALMERSTON'S consent to
the sole occupation of Constantinople by an un-
limited number of Russian troops, and of the
presence of an equally unlimited Russian fleet
in the Bosphorus, under any circumstances short
of the utter annihilation of the military and
naval power of Old England, the natural ally
and protector of the Ottoman Empire. 1

tempts to reconcile their convictions to their

interest. By that they are made miserable

and the public morality is undermined. The
foundations of the State Church are laid in false-
hood, and insincerity pervades every part of the
building. Men, as we learn from the Times,
will no longer be content with such mockeries;
they seek the true and the real, and they will
and must trample the false and unreal out of ex-
istence. Hence the separation of honest men
from the Conservative party.

Some uncertainty, it is said, prevails at Not•
tingham as to Mr. WALTER'S opinions oil the
Corn-law, and on Church-rates. Our state-
ments that Mr. WALTER, when in Parliament,
twice neglected to vote for motions directed
against the Corn-law, and that the Times has not
lately exerted its power against it, should put
an end to all doubt on the subject. Neither Mr.
WALTER nor the Times dare openly advocate

with great hardihood, appeals to the dernOM'acy for
support. How any Chartist +could vote for Mr.
WALTER, would be to us quite inexplicable,
had we not been informed that the people about
Nottingham are reduced to so sad a state of dis-
tress, and have been so often disappbinted, that
they support Mr. WALTER out of hatred and a
desire of vengeance. " I care nothing for prin-
ciple," is the reply, we are told, of these men,
when remonstrated with for supporting Mr. WAL-
TER, " I will have revenge." Mr. WALTER, then,
if he be returned, of which we believe there
is not the smallest prospect, would be the repre-
sentative of Chartist vengeance and Conservative
falsehood. Violence and humbug is the motto
of the Times and Mr. WALTER.

eyes of the test of the Lord PALMiata.
didre&influence.with the new Greek Premier is
known to be very great, and as his Lordship has
faults in the East to atone for—grave faults as
we have ourselves proved—we know of no

atonement which he could make, apart from the
affair of China, «rich would prove more gratify-
ing to the people of England than to insist upon
justice being done to the British creditors of
Greece.

The PariS Journals of Tuesday have all reached
us. Their contents are of no political import-
ance. Some ..commercialists from the Isle of
Bourbon having applied to the Government to
establish a line of steamers between that island
and Suez, which, by being connected with the
line plying between Marseilles and Alexandria,
would shorten the time of communication be-
tween the Isle of Bourbon. and France from four
months to one month and five days, the Journal
des Debuts has the.following remarks upon it :
" In the proposed plan three steam-boats of 220 horse-power
would be quite sufficient for a regular monthly service, which
would cause an expense of about 2.000,000 f. for the first out-
lay. The yearly expense would be about 300,000 f., to defray
which a considerable sum would be raised frOm passengers
and Jotters. This plan is nothing more than the natural
completion of the 13111 passed last year for establishing trans-
atlantic packets. The Government ft that, from the mo-
ment England established a regular communication by means
of magnificent steamers, France could not remain in
the back ground without throwing into the hands of the
English the whole of the French communication with the new
continent. The Chpmber voted 32,0(.0,000f. for the transat-
lantic steamer:, and the delegates from Bourbon ask but for
2,000,000 f. to establish a regular service with the Arabian Gulf.
It is evident that the 70,000,000 f. or 50,000,000 f. cf trade,
which we carry on each year with Bourbon and India, must
pais into other hands, if we continue to follow the long circuit
of the Cape of Good lisps. The late events in the East show
what importance the E'.glish attach to the route by Egypeto
the Red Sea, and our political as well as commercial lute: ests
demand that the French flan should be permanently dis-
played in the Red Sea. Ad rho nations cf Europe will find
it proper to keep Egypt an open route, and a geographical posi-
tion so important as Suez should remain the common
resting place of all commercial bodies. These considerations
induce us to sup. ort warmly the proposed plan, parttculai ly as
the colony of Bourbon, in its own interest, wt.l feel itself
obliged, should the Government not promptly accede to its
request, to have recourse to English capitalists, and thus throw
the communication between the colony and France into the
hands of England. As to a private company undertaking the
line as a speculation, we look on it as highly improbable. 'I he
Government saw last year that it was with State money that
the hue to America should be carried on, as sacrifices were to
be incurred, which private speculators could not sustain. The
same arguments prevail with respect to the proposed line to
R.urbon."
'lnc change in the Turkish Cabinet gives um-
brage to the French Liberal Press, which now
discovers that RESCHID PACHA was eminentb
French in his feelings and habits. Had this dis-
covery been made sooner, it is probable that the
Press, which so triumphantly upheld M. Turtus,
would have borne aloft, in true Frank fashion,
upon the shield of victory, the now disgraced
Pacha. But it is ridiculous to tax Lord PON-
SONBY with the humiliation of the late chief of
the Divan. Than Lord PONSONBY, RESCHID
PACHA lead not a more strenuous supporter—a
support which the late Reis Effendi well me-
rited by every part of his conduct, save and ex-
cept his implacable hostility to MEHEMET ALI.
But now that he is disgraced, tbe very members
of the Divan, who,, only a few days before his
downfall, proposed that whenever he enter-
ed the Council the members should rise and
reverently kiss the hem of his garment, are
the first to cast dirt upon him He is de-
nounced by the men whom he loaded with
honours, as au equivocator in politics, an athe-
ist in religion, and a foreigner in manners.
The ulemas, or priests, are the deadliest enemies
of the ex-Minister. They now accuse him of
the horrid, impiety of having trifled with the ana-
thema or curse pronounced by them agains,
MEHEMET ALI and his family—of having de-
nounced the doctrines of the Koran on the sub-
ject of marriages—of having promoted unbe-
lievers to posts in the army and navy—of employ-
ing foreign engineers to fortify the castles of
the Dardanelles and the works on the Bospho-
rus, which, by the help of ALLAH, could be
better done by true believers—and of having
by the establishment of quarantines vio-
lated the precepts of the Koran respect-
ing predestination. It will be seen from
this that the Bishop of EXETER, Dr. M'HALE,
and the SHEIK-AL-ISLAM, are equal adepts at
fixing upon the chiefs of Cabinets charges of
atheism and impiety. Such charges form the
bow and the spear of the ecclesiastical armoury
in all countries.
Two important operations are about to take place in every
part of France, and the Prefects have received the most pre-
cise instructions to attend to them :-Ist. The Minister of
Finance has ordered a general account to be taken of build-
ings, doors, and windows, as well as of the number of per-
sons paying rent and personal taxes. 2d. The Minister of the
Interior, as Las been already mentioned by us, has ordered
the general periodical census to be taken of the population of
the whole kingdom.
Monday, at two o'clock, the King, attended by the Inten-
dant-General of the Civil List, Generals de Rumigne and
d'Houdetot, and Messrs. de Cailleux and Fontaine, left Paris
for Fontainebleau. His Majesty stopped at Alfort to inspect
the fort of Charenton, the excavations for the foundations of
which are already well advanced. The King was received by
Generals 1)ode de la Brunerie and Valliant. After surveying
the whole, and laying the first stone of the facing of the
scarp, his Majesty re entered his carriage, and continued his
journey. The people of the neighbourhood, the workmen, and
the soldiers of the engineers, repeatedly hailed the King with
their acclamations. His Majesty ordered that I,ooof. should
be distributed among the workmen.
SUICIDE.—As a workman was crossing the Pont de la Con-
corde two mornings since, about five o'clock, he found on the
parapet a letter or note, on which was placed a key, to keep it
from being blown away, addressed to Mil e. Ferriere, the wife
of a retired notary, with a direction so her to pay sf. to the
person who might bring it to her with the key. He went to
the address indicated, but the porter desired him to say where
he lived, and the family would send for it. When Mme.
Ferriere was dressed, the letter was sent for, and delivered. It
was from M. Ferriere, announcing that he could not continue
to bear the miseries of his life, and that when she received the
letter, he would be no longer in existence. M. Ferriere,
though still young., had long been suffering from a painful
complaint, which had compelled him to give up his profes,ion.
No doubt of his having made away with himself is entertained.
He was in easy pecuniary circumstances, and much esteemed.

The Government has two official and avowed organs—the
Messager and the Moniteur Universe!. How comes it that
the last telegraphic despatches from Toulon, took the wrong
way, and that it was from the Moniteur Parisian that we learn
on the 16th the arrival of the Crocodile on the 14th at Tou-
lon, with the first news of the expedition to Medeah, and that
to-day it is the Journal des Debats which informs us from
another despatch that the expedition returned to Algiers on
the 10th, after having had on its way back a serious engage-
ment with the Arabs.
The Journal and letters brought by the Crocodile are no later
than the 6th.
When the steam- boat left the Moniteur Algerien had •not
appeared, and nothing official had been published. There could
therefore be no news cf the expedition which set out on the
30th of March, except from private communications, of the
first operations, favoured by extremely fine weather, were per-
fectly successful, and the main body of- the expedition, which
left Blidah on the 3d, must have arrived without obstscles at
Medeah

No recent news have been received at Algiers on the 6th,
from O: an or Constantine ; but it was known at Toulon
that the division of Oran had just received reinforcements to
the amount of 6,000 men. The regiments which were already
in that province have received numerous detachments to com-
plete their tull war establishments, and two fresh regiments
have just been landed at Oran, so that the entire force of the
division in that province is above 12,000 men.

It seems certain that a strong column setting out from
Oran, or Mostaganen, under the command of General Lansori-
ciere, or some say, of the Duke of Netnours, will ascend the
vahey of the Cheiiff, and effect its junc+ion with that of the
province of "Jittery, commanded by the Lieutenant-GeLeral in
