there is too much truth, appears in the Courrier Francais

" We learn that the Governor-General of Algeria, who was
on the 11th in the environs of Tiaret, returned on the 14th to
Tenez. What were the motives for this precipitate retreat ?
Was it the want of provisions that prevented the Marshal
from maintaining his ground at Tiaret ? or was it the
fatigue and disorganization of his column that forced him to
go into cantonment at Tenez ? It is unfortunate, but too
true, that the column left strewed on the way behind it
stores which it was no longer able to draw along with it, and
the harness of the horses which expired on the roads, and
which the Arabs ekill collect as trophies. Mast assuredly
the Marshal too much abused the only good quality he pos-
sesses, that corporal hardihood which enables him to sustain
fatigues, deprivations, and dangers. He drags along
his soldiers, without regarding their exhaustion from
the incessant marches he compels them to make, with-
out end and without object. M. Bugeaud, no doubt, con-
siders as a wonderful activity this restless and blind
mobility, which induces him to be at every moment
changing place for the mere pleasure of changing. He
calls General Bedeau into the Ouarensenis, presuming that
Abd-el-Kader is there. In the meantime the Hainza remains
unprotected, the Hodna rises in insurrection, and General
Levasseur, to occupy the interim, goes and buries his supple-
mentary regiments in the ravines of Djebel Djira, in which
is also involved the column of General d'Arbouville, of whom
we are still without any news. Now M. Bugeaud retire to
Tenez to cover himself, no doubt, from the rigours of winter;
he drives General Korteto the bottom of the province of
Oran, into the Yacoubia, where he fancies Abd-el-Kader may
appear some day or other. He sends Generel Lamoriciere
among the Flittas, in search of the Emir, being himself
unable to find him. He has him tracked by his troops
through the closest recesses of Algeria, and vet the Emir,
who is everywhere seen is nowhere to be found. At a
vast cost, he prepares an expedition to be ready in the
spring to make a move from Djemma Ghazaouat into
Morocco to attack Abd-el-Kader, who establishes his
government more strongly than ever in the very centre
of our possessions. After all these various displays of
forces, after all these grand movements of troops, are we yet
on the heels of this evanescent enemy ? Not at all ! Some
say he is in the country of the Flittas ; others, that he is
more to the south, at the extremity of the Chot el Chergui
district ; pthers, again, that he is in the east, towards Goud-
jilla ; while M. Bugeaud seems to believe that he is to be
found in the Yacoubia, quite to the west, while the Marshal
himself hopes to find him in the circle of Tenez, in the northern
centre. Therefore it is in this wild imaginary pursuit that
our soldiers have been engaged for ten long months, leaving
fragments of their flesh torn off by the pointed rocks, and
on the thorny bushes of the plain. Because it is the plea-
sure of M. Bugeaud, are our soldiers to confront the snow
as well as the sand storms ? to endure the piercing gales of
the winter as well as the suffocating simoons of the summer
in this absurd chase, followed at hazard without glory, with-
out profit ? The razzias have destroyed all the means of sub-
sistence, the hospitals are overcrowded with the sick, whole
battalions have sunk under cold and fatigue, even the horses
have fallen down and died on the road from fatigue, all the
equipments have been worn out or lost, all the stores have
bean exhausted. But Marshal Bugeaud, confiding in the
strength of his own constitution, runs first one way, then
another, not knowieg where to stop nor precisely what direc-
tion to take. If the Government should still refuse to call upon
him to account for the legions entrusted to him, the mothers
who have thus seen their children perish without glory for
themselves, without benefit for France, these mothers will cry
aloud for vengeance upon this. Varus, who thus is sacrificing
a whole army to his own headstrong folly ! Is this all ?
Alas no. Within three months 12,000 colonists have been
sent over to Algeria, the Government encouraging their emi•
gration' and granting large parcels of land to them to be cul-
tivated. And what has followed? M. Bugeaud, braving the
will of the Government, refuses to put the grantees in possession
of their lands, and the poor colonists are prevented from
farming on their own account, or labouring forhire for others,
as no lands are assigned to any of them, Waiting the good
pleasure of the Governor-General, these too confiding colo-
nists are driven to mendicity to satisfy the wants of nature.
They are seen in bands in the streets imploring charity, and
often in vain, or perhaps yielding to the worst suggestions of
misery. Before the credits for Algeria are voted, most of
these wretched beings, deprived of employment, and devoid
of all other resources, in the very heart of winter, under a
climate which decimates them, will have returned to Europe,
Thus M. Bugeaud, if due care be not taken, will have at
once compromised, and perhaps irremediably, both our con-
quest and our colonisation. This is not a question of party
opposition, and rather than accuse the Ministry of all these
disasters, we prefer conjuring them to repair them, if be
yet time !"
A letter from Rome states, that on the 17th the congrega-
tion of Ignacious Loyola inaugurated in its church, at Rome,
a Triduum for the conversion of the people of England to
Catholicism, on which occasion the church was filled from
morning till night.
A great rise has taken place in the French Funds, attri-
buted to large purchases of stock for the account of certain
railway Companies. It was said that the Directors of the
Lyons Company have come to the determination to invest
24,000,000 f. in the French Funds, half in the Three per Cents.
and half in the Five per Cents., and are now engaged in car-
rying out this operation.

The Duke of Buckingham has at last
turned Sir Thomas Fremantle out of Bucking-
ham. A requisition from the electors of Buck-
ingham, calling upon him to resign his seat,
has been presented to the Right Hon. Baronet, and be is
consequently about to retire from Parliament, and from
the office of Secretary for Ireland. But he does not retire
without a handsome provision for life. ➢ir. Dean has
been prevailed upon to resign the chairmanship of the
Board of Customs, and Sir Thomas Fremantle is ap-
pointed his successor.

Lord Redesdale has given up the post which he has
so long filled, of whipper-in for the Government in the
House of Lords, in consequence of the new measure.
It will be observed that Lord Ashley, in his speech
of last night, hinted at the possibility of his
not having another opportunity of addressing the
House of Commons. It is said that the Noble
Lord intends, after voting for Sir Robert P‘el's
measure, to resign his seat and appeal to his constituents
for re election. There is a rumour that Lord John
Manners intends to take the same course.
Mr. Lascelles and Lord Courtenay are mentioned us
probable successors to Sir Thomas Fremantle, in the
office of Secretary for Ireland. Mr. Lascelles, however,
would be sure to lose his seat (Wakefield).
PRIVY COUNCIL.—The Queen held a Privy Council at
half-past two o'clock this afternoon, at Buckingham

gentlemen nominated to the office on the Morrow of St.
