pose with energy obstacles to the difficult task of our nume-
rous columns, defeating the best combinations, reviving the
fanaticism of the Arabs, appointing Khalifas to organise war
against us, terrifying by executions and merciless razzias the
tribes who have not yet taken part in the revolt, and who
have been left exposed to his sudden attacks. Twice already
has the Emir penetrated into the interior part of the culti-
vated portion of the country, and been able to pass through it
without obstacle, although flying before our troops; he was
Come up with only once, and that by an exhausted cavalry,
which was unable to execute anything decisive. Now, for
the third time, he leaves the desert after a feignel retreat,
•and menaces the province of Titteri, which borders on that of
Algiers. The last accounts announce, in fact, that Marshal
Bugeaud was about to proceed to Boghar with a portion of
the disposable troops, to check the bold attempts of the
Emir on that side. The recent disaster of the column of
Constantina in the mountains of Bou-Taleb, has not been
without influence over this new enterprise of the Emir, for
after this cruel event Med.esh night have been uncovered.
In fact, Lieutenant General Badeau, commandant of the
province of Constantine, who gave his useful.co-operation to
the Marehal with the column of Setif, commanded by Ge-
neral D'Arbouville, was to return with this column to the
province, to fill up the blank occasioned by the miss hors de
combat of a column which has lost 1,200 muskets, and has
1 half its men in the hospitals. Abd-el-Kaderjudged that the
moment was favourable to menace us towards the centre of
our possessions, and, as a first success, he has ruined the
I lthamans, a tribe on the skirt of the desert, which had sub-
mitted to us, and which even habitually sent its goums to
assist us in our expedition in the south. The three attempts
of the Emir against the interior were evidently with a view
of penetrating in the province of Algiers, and there accom-
plish a sudden and rapid invasi,ei' not, without doubt, witli
the hope of maintaining himself there, but to produce the
greatanoral effect which such an event would not fail to pro-
. duce in France and in the whsle of Algeria. He has not
been able to succeed on the Orleansville side, as the rising of
the Chelif might present an obstacle or compromise hie re-
treat ; he has, besides, been followed . with much activity by
, our columns, for latterly General Lamoriciere, with the dif-
ferent columns of the province of Oran, conjointly with the
! troops of Marshal Bugeaud, gave pursuit to him on the Mina.
General Belleau having set out for Setif, the field towards
Medeah was open to the Emir, and the more so as the ob-
stacle of the Chelif does not exist on that side. It may easily
be conceived, therefore, that the danger must have been
I pressing to have called the Marshal in person to the spot.
I We rely firmly en the indefatigable activity of Marshal Bu-
gelled, and his great knowledge of the nature of the war and
.the tactics of the Emir will furnish him with expedients to
prevent the enemy from putting his foot on the ridges of the
little Atlas which borders the horizon cf Algiers."
Muller, the assassin of M. Len, was beheaded at Lucerne
on the 31st ult. On the seine day expired the term of delay
for the payment of the indearAity of 400,000 Swiss livrez„
as the condition of the amneety in favour of the political pd-
. Boners. The Committee appointed to collect this sum has in-
formed the Government, that it has been able to rise only
220,000 hues, and has entreated it to accept of that
.amount. The question will probably be brought before the
Grand Council.
