in Morocco :

" We have been informed that at the moment when
an attaché of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs landed at
Tangiers, from the steam corvette Veloce, to deliver dis-
patches to our Consul-General, the population of the
town, the European in particular, were in a state of great
uneasiness. Alarming reports were in circulation relative
to the influence acquired by Abd-el-Kader in the east
of Morocco. The intelligence received by land is
not of a less serious import. The Emir is said to
have approached Taza, a Moorish town, twenty-five
leagues distant from the frontier, and to he openly con-
spiring against the Emperor. If our information be
correct, it:is to be feared that a revolution will shortly
come to pass in Morocco. The Emperor Abderrahman
is in an embarrassing position. If he attacks the cham-
pion of the holy war, surrounded as he is with the sym-
pathies of the faithful, he risks his throne, and even his
life. The danger for being remote is not less great, if
he suffers him to go on. Under those difficult circum-
stances, the Emperor will probably confine himself to
look on whilst we act, and pray fur our success, which
will rid him of a dangerous enemy. A French expedi-
tion into Morocco consequently appears imminent."
The Siecle publishes the following remarks on the

present position of Algeria :
" Abd-el-Kader is acting with absolute authority in
Morocco, either from the connivance or want of power
of the Emperor to resist, who confines the exercise of

his authority to the towns, the populations of which are
less fanatic. The Emir is not only recomposing his Deira,
but is remounting his cavalry, and recruiting'his batta-
lions with Moroccomen. A generally accredited report,
therefore, is, that he will this year take advantage of the
absence of the Governor-General, and make a new attempt
on Algeria. This does not appear to us to be without
foundation. Abtl-el-Kader is condemned by his position
to act whether he has or has not hopes of success. He
must, at any price, keep up the fervour and fanaticism

•
of his adh;rents. To him repose is -abdication. But,
although the Emir is forced to attack, it does not follow
that he must succeed in surprising our columns, and
throwing Algeria into alarm and confusion. The
system of government adopted by Marshal Bugeaud
may be condemned and often with reason; his military
tactics may be criticised ; this is a question on the art
of war on which competent men may differ. The Mar-
shal will defend himself by arguments or facts—that is
his affair. We only protest against the assertion that
Algeria is not in a condition to put down in an instant
whatever attempts the Emir may make. That assertion
is void of truth, and yet it causes anxiety in the minds
of those who have sons fighting in Africa. Abd- el-
Kader will, probably, again make an irruption into
some part of the colony. This will happen this year,
and again and again in subsequent years. Even the
death of Abd• el-Kader would not put a stop to such en-
terprises ; it would only render them less dangerous.
Algeria is on the confines of a barbarous empire, in
which the authority of its rulers is ever precarious.
Half a century will, probably, pass before our frontier
towards Morocco becomes perfectly tranquil. The ques-
tion is, to prevent these inevitable incursions from
penetrating into the interior. After what passed in
1845, it may be seen that this question was solved
by the presence of 100,000 men. It remains to be
solved by the establishment of a French population
capable of protecting itself. It is said that the Go-
vernment has just come to a decision on a system of
colonization to be adopted there. Civil colonization
is, it is believed, to be employed- on the territories
marked down as civil in the ordonnance of April, 1845,
and military colonization on the mixed territories.
This resolution, if really come to, will be in conformity
with the opinions we have long ago expressed. But it is
not our intention to open at present a discussion on this
subject. We wish only to calm those inquietudes that
may have been created by alarming reports. Abd-el-
Kader could not succeed last year, when everything con-
spired in his favour, neither will he be more successful
now, when our army. warned by experience, is keenly
watching the Arabs."
" The Minister of War," says the Constitutionnel,
" anticipates the necessity of applying for an ex-
traordinary credit of 25,000,000 francs, to provide
for the subsistence of the army in Africa. In Al-
geria and the south of France _the corn harvest is
confidently expected to be below the average, and
that-the barley and potato crops will be very deficient.
This will certainly not amount to a dearth, but it
will, in the apprehension of the Government, require
a considerably increased expenditure in providing
food for the army."
The same journal states that a reinforcement of
1,600 men will be sent to Oceania.

Lord Dundonald has through the instrumentality
of George Robins, sold his beautiful villa in the Regent's
Park, and in consequence all the valuable miscellanies
' and the furniture throughout the mansion are to be sold
by auction next week. The public view commences on
Monday and Tuesday, and the sale continues Wednes-
day, Thursday, and Friday. The Noble Earl has dis-
played much of his acknowledged taste in the works of
art which be selected during his sojourn in Italy some
years since. The splendid chef d'oeuvres of Rossi are
added to the collection ; the figures of " Eve at the
Fountain," and " Musidora," will alone repay a visitor
for a journey to see them—they are equal to anything
of Canova's, and there are others that approach them in
merit. There are a few pretty pictures from the Dutch
and Flemish galleries, and' some beautifully executed
bronzes. Then comes, last, " though not least in our
dear love," (Shakspere), the incomparable wines. No
one ever doubted the Noble Earl's taste, and it will be
found exemplified here.

PATAL PALL PIOM A §TEAM-130AT.—(1ii filtteedly
evening, about five o'clock, Whilst the Vivid steam-boat,
Captain Styles, sas OrticeOing dovin the river, and when
near itilvv-kidge, .:4!4_iii4 fietwtten ttrt aft(' eleven years
of age, who was playing on the vessel, 41dtlthly fell ever-
board into the water. The father of the child Ctittptalri
Styles) immediately ordered the boat to stop, and turn
astern, but the child almost instantly disappeared. A
number of small wherries were soon at the place
where the deceased fell, and every endeavour
was made by a host of watermen to save the un-
fortunate child, but without success ; and up to a late
hour yesterday the body of the deceased had not been
recovered. The father of the child upon learning that
his son was drowned, became so dreadfully excited, that
it took several men to hold him. The mother, who was
likewise on board, was equally affected:
PUGILISBL—On Tuesday Rostock and Thomas
settled their claims to pugilistic superiority. The par:.
tie,, left the metropolis; attended by a good muster of
the " milling fancy," for Rainham, Essex, and afor a
quick fight Thomas was declared victor. •
