LONDON, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1847.

There is something peculiarly in accordance with
the monarchical policy heretofore developed by Louis
PHILIPPE, in the publication of the royal decree de-
claring his " most dear and beloved son" the Due
D'AUMALE Governor-General of Algeria. That ap-
pointment is the consummation of the retrograde
course long since adventured upon by the French
SOVEREIGN. It is the extinguisher to the glorious
torch which was first lit in the Palais Royale by
CAMILLE DESMOULINS, when, standing upon a garden-
chair, he harangued the people, and drew his sword
from its scatbard in vie dication of the national rights.
The nomination of a young Orleans Prince as a suc-
cessor of Mareschal BUGEAUD in the government of
the affairs of Algeria is a death-blow to all th€
dearest hopes and aspi:cations of Frenchmen. TIP.,
ambition which had been nourished in the popular
imagination by the results of the Great Revo-
lution has been fiuddenly blasted, and scat-
tered to the winds of Heaven. That ambition '
tit as the very life which had been breathed into
the nostrils of the people by the Genius of Liberty—
it awoke within them when MIRABEAU emerged from
a dinhonourable dungeon, and by his one voice /
swayed the destinies of the kingdom—when a venal I
pamphleteer like BRISSOT acquired an authority over
the provinces—when a briefless advocate like ROBES-
PIERRE assumed the undisputed dictatorship--when
a profligate adventurer like BARRAS became supreme
ruler in the halls of the Tuileries. It was confirmed
in the hoarto of fllo ontiro populat;nn L 1 tho arbiew-
ments of NAPOLEON—when the lowliest of his subjects
recognised in the distribution of the imperial bounties
an assurance that merit might conduct them from
obscurity to renown, from a hovel to a palace, I
from impotence and poverty to splendour and puis-
same. The population of the French empire during
the halcyon days of NAPOLEON saw men elevated
from the meanest to the most exalted positions, they
saw the brows of commoners encircled not merely by
ducal coronets, but even by the diadems of sove-
reignty. And if the EMPEROR awarded honours to
the different members of the Imperial Family, he la-
vished them with extraordinary munificence on those
possessed of no other influence than was afforded by
their own individual qualifications and achievements.
If he placed the Spanish crown on the head of his
brother JOSEPH, he gave the sceptre of Naples to
JoAcuna MURAT, the son of a tavern keeper. If,
before the seizure of the kingdom of Holland,
be bestowed the baton upon his brother Louis, as
Constable of France, he nominated JUNOT Governor
of Portugal, though JUNOT had to his personal know-
ledge risen from the ranks. If he robed his brother
JEROME in the ermine of Westphalia, he made men
hitherto unknown, such as NEY, and LANNES, and Ou-
DINOT, and SOULT, and DUROC, and MAssENA, and
MARsionr, and BERTHIER, and CAULAINCOURT, and
CANLBACERES, the dignitaries of his colossal dominions
Such were the incitements to distinction which had
been acquired by the denizens of France ever
since the dethronement of the race of CADET,
ever since the Phrygian cap was placed upon
the anointed brow of Louis SEIZE, ever since
the tri-coloured banner flaunted over the ruins
of the Bastile. In 1814, that temptation to the
innate virtues and abilities of the community was
diminished and partially abstracted, by the effete
councillors of Louis Dix-nurr, and it was that
encroachment upon the chief possession which had
been first obtained in 1789, that prepared the road
for Le Pere Violet on his memorable return from
Elba. Subsequently Louis XVIII. and CHARLES
X. attempted to deprive the people of those
chances of preferment which had been preserved
to them during the Directory, the Consulate,
and the Empire. Louis was saved from reaping the
consequences of his indiscretion by the indecision
peculiar to gluttony, and by a death which had been
accelerated by the habits of a man pampered
into premature decrepitude. CHARLES formed a
new illustration of a venerable adage,—" he west
farther and fared worse." His unconstitutional
proceedings ended in his degradation and banishment.
Louis PHILLIPPE was then chosen by a free and
powerful nation to be the crowned conservator of a
Liberal constitution. The son of Egahhi received the
diadem and sceptre of France through the
medium of that LAFAYETTE who had been sketched
with so much witty exactitude by the first of the Tri-
bunes of Paris in the double designation of Crom-
well-Grandison. Since then the elect of the people
has rolled France back in the
groove of retrogression—
he has broken that compact which he swore at the
altar of the country—he has jeopardised the liberties
of the nation by his gradual and piecemeal encroach-
ments—he has rendered France (France: the land
from which emanated the great European cru-
sade against feudality) an alien amongst the
Constitutional States, and the friend and ac-
complice of the upholders of Absolutism.
Such has ever been the eccentric destiny of
France ! Such has been the perfidious conduct of
Louis PHILIPPE ! Since the memorable three days
of 1830, the popular immunities and (we might even
call them) the popular prerogatives have been one by
one assailed and destroyed. The appointment of the
Doc D'AUMALE to the Government of Algeria may
be regarded as the flagrant consummation of those
dastardly innovations.

Against the youth and inexperience of the Orleans
Governor-General will be opposed the vigour, and
the practice, and the fame, and the genius, and the
almost miraculous resources of that renowned man
who is now advancing victoriously into the territories

of Morocco. Before the Arabic C ossacks of ABD-.
EL-KADEB the forces of EL-Am Art h aye fled or fallen.
At the approach of the great Emig even the legions
of ABDERRATIMAN are quailing, while the troops of
LAMORICIERE are agitated with a strange and omi-
nous consternation. And it is arai.ost this terrible
and inaccessible warrior—the wor.der of Christendom
and the glory of the Mahometans--that his Royal
Highness the Duc D'AUMALE is to lead the armies
which have been hitherto baffled. Never has the
tri-colour been placed in such imminent peril ; never
has the crescent of the Islamites been. afforded such
an opportunity of becoming triumph:lnt throughout
INorthern Africa.

The meeting at Holy Cross has taken place. A con-
siderable number of persons, amountsng, it is said, to
over 4,000, assembled together peacefully, and dis-
persed without any disturbance to the public tran-
quillity, the only thing bordering ion dissension being
occasioned by the attempts of a Mr. W. CONNOR to
inflict a long harangue on the people, in which he
designated the tenant right, the extension of which
to their own country was the avowed object of the
meeting, as to a great extent a delusion. A warm
personal altercation in consequence ensued between
the would-be orator and Mr. J. LALon, the origina-
tor of the proceedings, and much confusion and
clamour occurred at the breaking up of the meeting.
It was, however, merely a wordy warfare, such as
might have been anticipated amongst a people so ex-
' citeable as the inhabitants of Tipperary. Many re-
-1 solutions were adopted, the great majority of which
related to a series of abstract propositions respecting
the rights of the people of Ireland to a property in
the soil to the extent of a full, comfortable, indepen-
dent, and secure subsistence therefrom, of which
they had hitherto been deprived; that their subsist-
ence was in danger, and should be defended ; and
also touching the title to property in the soil, which,
they asserted might be regulated, restrained, limited
or qualified by the law. These propositions were
utterly useless, and were calculated to deter many
persons who would be well contented to join the
Tenant League, if its only object was, by legal and
constitutional means, and by moral force alone, to
obtain a legislative recognition of the Ulster tenant
right and its introduction to the remaining provinces.
It would, therefore, have been far better
had the managing committee decided on merely
submitting to the assemblage the resolu-
tion for the organization of the League, and also
1 that in favour of the tenant right, and the determina-
tion of the Association to use every exertion consis-
tent with the law to establish the custom amongst
themselves. It is also much to be regretted that the
chairman did not act with a like vigour and prompti-
tude as he exhibited in the case of Mr. CoNNon, in
checking Mr. DOHENY, when he departed from the
object for which they had assembled together, in order
to pour forth a torrent of abuse on the Government
and the English merchants, ascribing to them the
sufferings and the miseries which they used the most
gigantic and superhuman exertions to mitigate and
alleviate. Such a tirade might be well suited for the
Irish Confederation, and for the advocates of physical
force, but it was exceedingly improper in the place
where it was delivered, and in the highest degree
injurious to, and calculated to impede, the cause which
Mr. DOHENY came there to support.
The relationship between the landlords and tenants
of Ireland has long attracted the attention of the
English people. They have discovered that there is
something defective and radically vicious in the
system, which requires a careful revision and ex-
tensive alterations. They cannot be blind to the fact
that in one part of the country, where a certain
custom prevails, the inhabitants : are comfortable
and happy, peaceful and contented ; that the lands
are fully cultivated, the rents satisfactorily paid,
and that there is a total absence of those dis-
turbances and outrages by which other localities
are unhappily distinguished. This remarkable
difference in the condition of the people
could only be ascribed to the existence of that
i custom, as no other apparent reason could be assigned
for the happy result. But, further, on investigation
it will be found that wherever it exists there is a
total absence of the causes by which agrarian
disturbances, the fertile source of evil, is excited and
originated. Such an inquiry must convert specula-
tion into certainty, and the great desideratum should
be to extend the blessings to all parts of the king-
dom. There will be some difficulties at first in doing
so, but they are not insurmountable. There are cer-
tain prejudices respecting what is termed " the rights
of property " which are to be encountered. Many
who would desire to attain the end . fear
the means by which alone it can be
carried into effect. They dread any legislation
on the subject, believing that if at all introduced it
will be carried too far, and that it must deprive the
proprietors of the soil of all control and ownership
over their estates. This is by no means a necessary
consequence, but still we willingly concede the pro-
priety of great prudence and caution in the measures
that are to be submitted to Parliament for the pur-
pose. It must be considered that there is no express
law or enactment by which the Ulster tenant right
is recognised ; that the same law of landlord and
tenant is legally in force in all parts of Ireland, and
that the Ulster landlord would have the same right of
ejecting his tenant without compensation, on the
termination of a notice to quit, or for non-payment of
rent, that is possessed by any other Irish landlord, if
he would so far violate the force of public
opinion, and expose himself to the odiutn and
contumely that would be attendant on such
a proceeding. The very confidence that is thus oc-
casioned between the parties has the most beneficial
effects. The tenant unhesitatingly will invest the
greater part of his capital in the purchase of the
' goodwill of a farm, to which he gains no legal
title, and from which he might be driven in a single
year. He, however, relies on the long-established
usage which the landlord also respects, and the
bonds by which they are united are drawn more
closely, and greater friendliness and better feeling
towards each other exists on both sides. It would
he far better if the landlords of Ireland would
voluntarily agree to submit to the custom sanc-
tioned and recognised by their northern brethren,
and the effects of which are so beneficial to all
parties. If they did so, the extraordinary competition
for land would be avoided, which nominally greatly
enhances the rents, but by reason of which a
much smaller sum really is paid to the proprietor.
We venture to say that the rents actually paid in
Ulster are higher in proportion to the actual value and
qualitywoul o

with a good grace. We fear, however, that they
will not be sufficiently clear-sighted to anticipate le-
gislation, and that Parliament must be appealed to.
If the Irish people conduct themselves in their
struggle in the same manner by which their own
emancipation was gained, and by which at a laterty
period the triumph of free trade was obtained, they
may be certain of receiving the sympathy and good
wishes of the English people, and of finally succeed-
ing to the fullest extent of their desires.

A letter from Athens of the sth inst. says—

" M. Coletti has been dangerously ill for several
days. Eight of the principal physicians of the capital
were at his bedside the greatest part of the night be-
fore last, and have, it is said, declared his malady to
be incurable. Nevertheless, the chief physician of
the French squadron, who was yesterday called in,
is said to have procured him some momentary relief.
Still public rumour gives him only a few days to live,
and already parties are preparing to contend for the
succession to his place. A chance shot, striking Ge-
neral Griziotis, put a stop to the insurrection in
Eubcea, but the circumstances in which the Govern-
ment is placed are not less serious. Acarnania is in
a state of great fermentation. Theodore Grivas and
Condojani are on the frontiers with 600 men, ready
to enter Greece. In Etolia, Pharmakis Scalzodimos,
and a son of Noti Bozzari, with some other chiefs, are
at the head of 700 or 800 men. Bairactari and Par-
tarichi have got possession of the strong position of
Elvarico. All of them insist on the dismissal of the
Ministry and the dissolution of the Chamber of De-
puties, as being composed almost entirely of repre-
sentatives fraudulently and illegally elected. On the
other hand, the Government has not yet recalled
from Chaleis the troops it sent there, and has not at
its disposal a sufficient number to march against the
insurgents. In the midst of all these embarrassments
comes the illness of AI. Coletti. To paralyse the ac-
tion of the Government at the same time, it appears
that the insurgents have no other intent than to pro-
test, arms in hand, against the elections ; they mani-
fest no hostile designs against the throne, do not Kive

themselves up to plunder or any of the outrages
usually attendant on such insurrections. It is be.
lieved that peace and order will be restored the mo-
ment a change of Ministry and a dissolution of the
Chamber are announced. Notwithstanding all this,
perfect tranquillity reigns at Athens, and throughout
Attica. There is no talk of an insurrection in the
Peloponnesus ; but, it is said, that there is a certain
degree of fermentation in certain parts of it.
" P.S. IVe have this moment learnt that M. Co-
letti has, for the second time since yesterday, ex-
perienced a slight relief from a strong perspiration
which is physicians have succeeded in producing."

A letter from Naples of the 11th says, that among
the persons recently arrested are the editors of the
Revue Napolitaine. The greatest apprehensions of an
outbreak in that city continue to be entertained.
Notwithstanding the efforts of the Government to
suppress all intelligence from Calabria, it was known
in Naples that the insurrection was spreading, more
especially in Puglia and the Abruzzis, and it was
said that Teramo, the capital of the Abruzzi, had
hoisted the insurrectionary flag.
The intelligence from Sicily is to the 6th. At
that date the insurgents, notwithstanding the ill-suc-
cess of their attack on the citadel of Messina, main-
tained possession of the country in the vicinity of
that city, and were making daily attacks upon the
exterior fortifications.

On the sth the population of Melazzo, about twelve
leagues from Messina, rose, defeated the garrison,
took possession of the citadel, and opened communi-
cations with the Messina insurgents. The Italian
colours joined to the Sicilian eagle is the flag of the
insurgents, and it has been hoisted in almost all the
small towns in the interior.

It is said that the inhabitants of Castro Giovanni,
a fortified town in the centre of the island, are in full
insurrection.

Madrid journals of the 15th have been received.

The Gaceta contains a royal ordonnance, ap-
pointing General FELIPE RIVER°, the Captain-Gene-
ral of Burgos, to the office of Captain-General of
Old Castile, and another appointing General AUGUS.•
TIN CAMINERO to be Captain-General of Burgos. It
also publishes an ordonnance creating a General
Archive Office for the Departments of Commerce,
Public Instruction, and Public Works.
The Faro takes up the cry of the .Heraldo of the
preceding day against Mr. BULWER, for having given
information to the Minister of the Interior of the
Afrancesado plot for seizing the QUEEN'S person on
her way to the theatre. The frantic rage of these
detected conspirators is really amusing.
The Heraldo, in unambiguous terms, actually
recommends the assassination of Mr. BULWER.
NARVAEZ must have been in one of his " fits of
ungovernable fury" when he so far threw off the
mask as to suffer such a recommendation to appear
in his journal. It, however, proves that NARVAEZ
and his partisans are perfectly reckless as to the
means, provided they only attain their ends, and by
opening the eyes of the Spanish QUEEN and the
Spanish people to the true character cf the Afran-
cesado party, these ebullitions of " ungovernable
fury " may do good.

The friends of General AMETTLER have written to
the public journals to deny that he had joined the
Carlists, as had been rumoured. A very small Mon-
temolinist band in Alava, headed by a man named
GoMEz, had made its appearance, and proclaimed
Count MONTEMOLIN.

A military conspiracy to bring about a pronuncia-
mcnto in favour of NARVAEZ has been discovered at
Pampeluna. Several of the officers of the garrison
are implicated in it.

We have received the Paris papers of Monday, on
which day the KING and the Royal Family left St.
Cloud for Compeigne, where, it is said, he will be
joined by Queen CHRISTINA.

These papers contain no authentic intelligence
either from Italy or Spain of a later date than we
have already received, but rumours innumerable were
current in Paris as to the affairs of both countries.
It was rumoured with regard to Spain, that NAIL-
VAEZ had been again sent for by the QUEEN, and
charged with the construction of a new Cabinet. To
this rumour, however, much credit was not attached,
but a rumour to the effect that the revolution was
spreading in Calabria, and that it was gradually ex-
tending- Itself over tho whole of th© kingdom of the
Two Sicilies, was generally believed.
The probability of the establishment of diplomatic
relations between England and Rome is evidently
exciting the jealousy of the partisans of the dynasty.
The Presse has the following on this subject :
" The signs of an approaching political intimacy
between the Papal Government and England are be-
coming every day more and more visible. Whilst
Lord Minto has been sent in a non-official capacity
to Reme, Dr. Wiseman, one of the most illustrious
representatives of the Catholic clergy in England,
appears to have received from Pius IX. the mission
to prepare with the English Government those ar-
rangements by the aid of which the two countries
may resume their long interrupted relations. Old
Toryism has already taken the alarm, but the pre-
judices of the Anglican Church are in the present
day much deadened, and the progress which Great
Britain has made in the path of religious tolerance
will smooth down many obstacles. The old Tories
also cry out against the emancipation of the Jews.
That emancipation will not be the less pronounced in
the next session, and the election of M. de Rothschild
in London is the most significant prelude to it. When
England shall have removed all the barriers which
have hitherto prevented the Jews from rising to the
complete dignity of the citizen, she cannot allow,
even if she were so inclined, the legal anathema
which separates her from the Court of Rome any
longer to continue. Independently of the movement
of ideas, England is impelled towards this object by
the interest of her policy, which cannot succeed in
Italy, but by being united to the Holy See. We
may, therefore, without fear of being mistaken, pre-
dict a speedy political intimacy between the two
countries, and this is a fact which cannot be indif-
ferent to us."
The Courrier Francais, in the course of a long
article on the subject of its recent interdiction in
Spain, asks why the Spanish Government, if it consi-
dered itself or Queen ISABELLA aggrieved, did not
institute legal proceedings in the French courts of
law to obtain redress, as it was authorised to do by
Art. 12 of the Law of May 17, 1819, which, in mat
ters of offence, place foreign Sovereigns on precisely
the same footing as the French Chambers and the
members of the Royal Family? This course, the
Courrier Francais declares, could easily have been
adopted through the agency of the Spanish Ambassa-
dor at Paris, or any other person, to whom fitting
authority might be delegated.

The Constitutionnel gives the following interesting
particulars relative to the young Queen of SPAIN :
" Isabella rises late, for she does not retire to rest
until three or four in the morning. She sups at two
o'clock. Parties who are to have audiences with
her Majesty are almost sure to have to wait an hour
or twe beyond the time appointed ; she treats even
her Ministers in this way, and frequently they are
sent away without having an audience, and again
recalled at one or two in the morning. The Queen
listens attentively to all her Ministers say to her, but
nothing moves or interests her so much as any act
of kindness which they may propose to her, or any rewards which they may
thesemay suggest for virtues or cou-

to do what she does, or to mount certain
she alone can succeed in subduing. Her
Infanta Dona Josephs, daughter of Don Francisco de
Paula,who frequently accompanied her in her rides one
day, said to Your horses know that you are
the Queen, for they obey you in everything.' Isa-
bella is very fond of music, and she does not confine
herself to listening to it. In all the concerts given
at the palace she sings Spanish airs with the grace of
an Andalusian. Dress is also one of her delights.
During her infancy, when her health was delicate,
her mother, Queen Christina, would not allow her
dressmaker to tighten her waist, but Isabella, in a
whisper to her, used to say, Make it tight, make it
tight.' The active manner in which Queen Isabella
spends her time has given her health and strength.
Add to this a fine figure, the freshness of sixteen, and
the embonpoint of eighteen or twenty. When spoken
to of the dangers which may threaten the kingdom,
she laughs and replies, Occupy yourselves, gentle-
men, with the country; for my part I do not care either
about being Queen or governing. Other kings have
not wanted opportunities to live quietly and to have
some happy moments. Think of what you have to
do for Spain after my reign is finished; for I have a

presentiment that it will not be a long one.'
Spaniards, however, hope that it will not be thus."
The Reform banquets continue to the great annoy-
ance of the Government. In speaking of these un-
mistakeable demonstrations of public opinion, the
National says—
" At the very moment we are writing, a numerous
and patriotic reunion is taking place at Saint Quentin.
It follows after that of Soissons, of which we have
already spoken. M. Odilon Barrot, who is present at
that banquet, delivered at the preceding dinner a re-
markable speech, which, we regret, reached us too late
for publication. We congratulate the chief of the
Left' upon his activity during the interval of the
Parliamentary sessions. He fulfils a duty, and
gives an excellent example. The rare gift of ex-
tempore speaking, which is among his numerous
talents, furnishes him with new means to display
eloquence on every fresh occasion. The innumerable
scandals of which the corrupt links attach themselves
to the system which dishonour our country supply So
fruitful a text, that an orator may recur to it without
fear of exhausting the subject. The public protesta-
tions of integrity which serve as an accompaniment
to those scandals will prevent foreigners from con-
founding with the petty and miserable party which
encompass the Government the great body of French
society, which everywhere raises cries of indignation
against the immorality of our governors. While we
applaud the language of M. Odilon Barrot with re-
spect to the duties imposed on us by our position as
public men, we wish to make some observations on
the concluding sentence of his speech. Our greatest
and our most alarming trials,' said M. Odilon Barrot,
are not to be found in our past history, but are to
be apprehended from our future.' If it be as a friend
of the dynasty that he dreads coming events, he is,
perhaps, right. The social movement in Europe is
not in favour of dynasties, but we do not consider
that fact to be a serious cause of uneasiness for men
devoted to the greatness and prosperity of a country."
The same journal contends that the recent ap-
pointment of two Marshals is illegal, and insinuates
that the nomination of General Domi is a " job." It
stays tie—
" We have not the slightest intention of calling in
question the honourable services rendered by Generals
Heine and Dode de la Brunerie. General Reille filled
with the greatest distinction important commands in
the armies of the Empire, and his name is connected
with all the glories of that period. General Dode is
an officer of unquestionable merit, who, since the
death of General Haxo, ranks as our first military
engineer; but he does not fulfil the conditions pre-
scribed by the law except by having been, in 1823,
commander-in-chief of the engineers attached to the
army sent into Spain under the orders of the Doke
d'Angouleme. It is therefore strange that, after the
revolution of 1830, services rendered in that expe-
dition, which was as impious as unpopular, should
be rewarded in such a striking manner. The choice
of the successor to General Dode, as President
of the Committee of Engineers, will perhaps
enlighten us as to whether the nomination has
not been brought about by some Court intrigue.
But, without examining the claims of those officers
to the high dignity with which they have just been
invested, we shall confine ourselves to remarking that
the law of August 4, 1839, relative to the organiza-
tion of the general staff of the army, limited the
number of marshals in time of peace to six at the
most. There are at this moment five marshals—
MM. Soult, Molitor, Gerard, Sebastiani, and Bu-
geaud. The ordonnance which has nominated two
new ones is therefore illegal. We might also add
some reflections as to the opportuneness of those
nominations. We have heard very competent mili-
tary men express doubts as to the advantages of the
rank of marshal. Among other inconveniences that
institution restricts the choice of the Government for
the command of armies, and frequently imposes on it
embarrassments or irregularities disadvantageous to
the public service. Examples are not wanting in the
history of the latter years of the empire to justify this
opinion. At all events it must be at least admitted
that, to preserve to this high dignity all its utility
and authority, it should be conferred with great re-
serve, when a general should have performed some
very striking service, or when it was called for by
the necessities of war."
Perhaps the services of General DoDE during the
" impious and unpopular " Spanish expedition of the
Due D'ANGOULEME, may be the cause of his promo-
tion, and he may himself be again employed under
another Prince of the Blood in another Spanish expe-
dition to the full as impious as the last, and which will
probably entail similar consequences on its projectors.
Spain seems to be the rock ahead upon which suc-
cessive French dynasties make shipwreck.
The Journal des Debats publishes the following
letter from Algiers, dated the 12th instant :
" It appears that in spite of the surveillance exer-
cised by our troops on the frontier, considerable num-
bers of Arabs, belonging to tribes encamped on our
territory, have gone to rejoin the Emir in Morocco.
No doubt the news of the first success obtained by
Abd-el-Kader over the troops of Abderrhaman will be
the signal for an emigration which it would he in vain
to endeavour to prevent. Nevertheless, tranquillity is
maintained among the tribes of the frontier, and the
Emir doos not cease to repeat that he is at peace with
France. Our troops will only have, therefore, ac-
cording to all appearances, to repress partial move-
ments, the object of which would be emigration on a
large scale. If events assume a serious character in
the west, General Bedeau, Governor-General ad
interim, will proceed to direct the military operations
in person ; but at present nothing can be foreseen.
The early arrival of General de Lamoriciere is
shortly expected ; he is to assume the command of
the Oran division. Great tranquillity reigns in all
the other parts of Algeria. The intelligence that a
judicial investigation had been commenced at Al-
giers by order of the Government has produced a
veryfunction-
aries
abroad, when it became known that documents had
been seized in the offices of Algiers and its environs.
There is, in fact, a general panic here. Judicial de-
gthreeamtselves. sensation,T especially among the is news was scarcely spread
de-
scents have taken place within the last few days, and
everything leads to the supposition that important
discoveries will be made. It is to be regretted that
the matter was not sooner taken in hand, for had it
been, the evil might have been checked at its source,
and great misfortunes prevented. 'We are assured
that the law-officers of the Crown in Algeria have
transmitted the orders of the Government to the
provinces of the east and west, in order that inves-
tigations may take place simultaneously on all
points."
The Illoniteur Algerien of the 15th states that the
Hachems and Beni-Amers, settled in the neighbour-
hood of Fez, with whom Ann-EL-Kaneit wished to
place himself in communication, by advancing on
Taza, were completely destroyed within a few
leagues of the capital of Morocco. A body of cavalry
of the Imperial Magkzen had been sent to summon
them to halt in their march, but they refused to obey,
and declared that they would open for themselves a
passage by force. Nevertheless, with a view, no
doubt, to avoid being attacked by the goums of
ABDERRAIIMAN, they made a circuitous march
towards the south, and entered a cluster of mountains
through which they might have joined ABD-EL-
KADER. But the cavalry of the Magkzen closely
pursued them, and persuaded the Kabyles of that
country, who are generally well affected to the EM-
PEROR, to assist them in exterminating a foreign and
rebellious population.
A letter from Melilla, which appears in the Madrid
Heraldo (a somewhat suspicious source), gives the
following account of the recent proceedings of ABD-
EL-KADER :
" Abd-el-Kader had resolved to repair to Fez to
meet the Emperor of Morocco, who was advancing
but slowly towards that city. He was, moreover,
induced to take that step by letters from his partisans
in the interior, who informed him that everything
was prepared for his reception. But the Emir was
surprised on his way by a superior force, commanded
by the son of the Emperor, and a sanguinary en-
gagement ensued, in which Colonel Agar, who ac-
companied the eleven Frenchmen redeemed by our
Governor, M. Benito, was killed. Abd-el-Kader
was obliged to fall back on Melilla to rest his troops
and chastise the inhabitants of Marura and Benisidel,
who, in his retreat before the Imperial army, attacked
his rear, captured 200 horses laden with barley, and
ill-treated several females placed under the protection
of some soldiers, whom they murdered. Abd-el-
Kader, notwithstanding the defeat, intends again to
march upon Fez. On the Ist of September, an
English felucca, on board which were a Lord and an
Arabian interpreter, appeared on our coast. Their
design, as they subsequently told the Governor, was
to forward a letter to Abd-el-Kader and open a
communication with him. They offered 40 piastres
to the Moor who would deliver the letter and bring
back a reply. The Governor it appears would not
consent to it, and refused to admit them in the place.
The felucca consequently remained out at anchor,
and the captain declared that he would not sail before
the 20th, and would complain of the conduct of M.
Benito to the Spanish Government."
The Valmy ship-of-the-line, of 120 guns, the
largest ever built at Brest, is to be launched on the
25th inst.
It was rumoured on the Paris Bourse that the
money crisis in England was drawing to a close,
which caused an improvement in the price of stocks
and shares.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
There was a steadier market for Cotton at Liverpool
yesterday, without any change in prices. Sales, 3,500
bales, including 500 for export and 500 on speculation.
In Railway Shares there was very little doing, but the
market was firmer.
The stoppage of Messrs. Burt, of Manchester, and
Messrs. Watson, of Liverpool, together with the re-
ported embarrassment of a wine agency house, aro the
on dit of the last twenty-four hours, to which it is said
another firm will probably have to be added; but we
shall venture upon no allusion calculated to excite mis•
directed suspicion. Caution, as we remarked yesterday,
is the recommendation we should give to all.
The letters and papers by the West India mail
steamer have been perused with some interest, and
afford a better account of the weather than did the pre.
vious advices. There was a desponding feeling, how-
ever, among the colonists, induced by the extremely low
prices of sugar in the English market, and it was again
loudly proclaimed that nothing but protection could
save the planters from ruin. We conceive, however,
that so from this, it is free trade alone
carried out to its full extent, for the benefit of the colo-
nies, as well as of the mother country, that can save the
former. At present they have lost the " protection"
hitherto afforded to their staples, and had nothing like
freedom given them in return. Scarcely a sugar estate
in Jamaica is believed now to be paying expenses, al-
though the crop this year is beyond an average.
The arrival of immigrants, from Madeira, continued
in most of the islands.
The ballot is now in progress at the Bank of Eng-
land for the purpose of confirming the bonus of one per
cent., but the result, of which there can be no doubt,
will not be ascertained until after four o'clock.
The Funds have been rather buoyant again, but with
occasional fluctuations. Consols have been 868 to 858
for present transfer, and 861 to 86* for account. Ex-
chequer-bills have realised ss. to Bs. premium, and India
Bonds 3s. discount.
The Foreign Securities are rather firmer also. Spanish
Five per Cents. have been 20 ; Portuguese Four per
Cents. 23 to 25 ; and Mexican 18* to 19. Dutch Two-
and-a-Half per Cents. have been 53i to 54.
Railway Shares are supported at fully previous rates ;
but with the existing scarcity of money there is very
little inclination to deal.
