obstacles in their way, so much the worse for the Go-
vernment and the Chamber."
On the subject of the differences which have arisen
between the English and French Cabinets, relative to
the affairs of Greece, the Courrier Francais has the
following :
" Notwithstanding the frequent interchange of notes,
which have for a long time been passing between them,
the Cabinets of France and England are further than
ever from coming to an understanding upon the affairs
of Greece. It appears that Lord Aberdeen, in a long
conference with the Count de St. Aulaire, has insisted
on the recal of M. Piscatory, whose position at Athens
eclipses England. It was in consequence of this con-
ference that our Ambassador sent to Paris the Count de
Jarnac, who has his full confidence, as well as that of
M. Guiz,,t."
The National, in a long article on the affairs of
Mexico and the United States, expresses an opinion
that the cause of Mexico is hopeless, in allusion to the
opinion expressed of some parties in America, that
England had incited Mexico to war. It says :
" Until we are better informed, we cannot help think-
ing that nothing is less probable: for, according to
our ideas, England can gain nothing by affording the
Americans, on one hand, a plausible pretext for seiz-
ing the Californias ; and, on the other hind, compelling
them, so to speak, to fortify themselves against the
perfidious surprises so familiar to our neighbours."
According to La Presse, orders had been for-
warded by the Government to the different seaports,
to send several ships of war to reinforce the French
squadron cruizing in the Gulf of Mexico.
The Echo d 'Oran of the 24th ult. confirms the
report of the massacre of the French prisoners by
ABD-EL.KADER. The Oran correspondent of a Tou-
lon journal, under date of Oran, May 21, writes as
follows :

" The number of French prisoners who escaped the
massacre of the Beira is unfortunately very small, but
Amongst them are said to be the Lieut.-Colonel of the
2d liu-sars, and some other officers. General Cavaignae,
commanding the subdivision of Tlemcen, who had just
received a large convo'.• and a reinforcement of three
battalions, proceeded immediately to the extreme from.
tier in the hope either of meeting with some of the pri-
soners who had escaped, or to prevent any new out-
brEak. As yet, however, we have received no news of
the movements of the General."

The latest news from Oran is of the 25th, and is
published in the Semaphore de Marseilles of the 29th.
.BBD-EL-FADER was on the 25th stated to be within
a short distance from Stitten, in the Djebel risen,

From Lalla Maghrnia on the 15th. Some Arabs

Magbrnia, on the 24th of March last, had crossed the

Nahrs, and other refractory tribes, encamped at the
eastern point of Chott Gharbi.
