LORD LONDONDERRY andABD EL-KADER.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.
Sir,—l am not disposed to submit to wrong infe-
rences being drawn from any hopes I have formed
and publicly declared as to the liberation of Abd-el-
&der ; and upon reading to -day your criticisms,
and appreciating your general candour, I transcribe
the President's own autograph words, which the
editor of the Morning Post has thought fit to leave
out, and to alter my letter to him in another im-
portant part, which corroborates my views and
hopes :
" tre venx tot on tard mottre en libert6, par-
ceque je crois one l'honneur de la France y est engage.
" J'ai trouve Is Porte Ottomane tia3 Bien dispose it
l'aeneillir ; mes intentions ns sont pas etiang€6: via via
l'Emir, mais fallait attendre encore."
The President, then, does inform me of every
point I have ventured to solicit, and what his present
determination is. The fact I have. The delays and
resolves are not necessary for me to proclaim, al-
though the former is essential to my purpose, and
now to my truth and honesty before the public.
I remain, Sir, yours very obediently,
VANE LONDONDERRY.

Tower of Garron, Oct. 5.
N.B. I think it due to myself to enclose the copy
of a letter I have written to a friend of mine in Lon-
don to give to the editor of the Morning Post to
publish, if he does not alter and give the true con-
struction to the communications he has received
from me.

" TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING POST.

" Sir,—Although I am bounden to thank you for your
insertion of my correspondence, I must complain of some
phrases of mine being garbled, and not giving my words
nor the true sense, which I have certainly derived from
the President's letter, which has induced me to state
publicly, ' I hail now the dawn of,the day that is to set
the Emir free;' and again, Prince Louis Napoleon's
answer to me is conclusive.'

" My letter to you, Sir, states,'quoted from the Prince's
autograph in French, Sooner or later he will set the
Emir at liberty, as the honour of France is engaged in
it;' whereas your publication runs, thinks the
honour of France engaged in the liberation of the Emir,
and therefore he declares his belief that, sooner er later,
it will be accomplished.'
" In my letter to you I give, from the Prince's pen,
his pledged word—in your printer's garbling a mere
belief is expressed.
" If it is deemed good policy to cover in any way the
President's own glorious decision, I pronounce it a fal-
lacious course, come from what quarter it may.
" Bat, Sir, what I most strongly have a right to con-
demn is the omission made by the Morning Post in the
exact translation of the letter of Prince Louis Napoleon
himself to me, which I sent to you.
" The very important sentence, as above referred to,
is quite left out, and certainly without it I never could
have expressed myself so hopeful, nor could I have said,
The veil may now be drawn over the past,' had the
distinct assurance not been made. To make:it quite
clear, I give the most exact translation of the President's
paragraph—' I will, sooner or later, liberate the Emir,
because I believe that lin it is engaged the honour of
France;' and this paragraph you, Sir, have entirely left
out in the Prince's letter to me, though conveyed to you
in my translated copy; and certainly you have not
spared my stultification before the public at the expense
of the shield you have chosen to draw over the Prince's
expressions; because I never could have drawn the
conclusions I have from the simple declaration that
'Ales intentions ne sort pas changees,' which is all that
you have been pleased to allow to appear in this letter.
" I wait anxiously your doing me justice in the public
eye, and
" I remain, Sir, your obedient servant,
" VANE LONDONDERRY.
" Tower of Garton, Oct. 4."

(From the Times.)
Abd-el-Kader is making as much work in the
world from his French prison, as he made in days
past at the head of his Arab cavaliers,. It transpired
last week that the Marquis of Londonderry had been
again corresponding with his friend the President of
the Republic on the subject of the Emir's release.
Now, though this question, as we have freely admit-
ted, is in a political sense exclusively French, it per-
tains likewise so clearly to the province of abstract
humanity, that within certain limits it is the common
property of all who feel for the sufferings of their
fellows. Lord Londonderry, too, had more than
this general warrant for his charitable interference.
He sympathized with the captive Emir as a soldier,
and he was known to Louis Napoleon as a friend. He
had formerly exerted the selfsame good offices in be-
half of the very individual with whom he was now
pleading Ithe cause of another. That his Lordship,
therefore, should intercede with Prince Louis Na-
poleon in favour of Abd-el-Fader was as natural
an example of private generosity as could well be
imagined, but it was not so understood by our
neighbours in Paris. Either England must in
reality be very perfidious, or France must be ex-
ceedingly perverse. They will not believe but
that we are jealous of their dominion and bent on
disturbing their peace. Their journals declare that
our object in desiring the liberation of Abd-el-Kader
is to furnish the Arab malcontents with a leader for a
new campaign, and so to plunge France again into
the embarrassments of a costly war. The subject
seems to revive all the traditionary suspicions of an
age gone by, and the present generation of Frenchmen
is scared by a catalogue of historical instances in
which the intrigues of Albion have been darkly di.
rected to the ruin of a national rival.

All this is absurd enough; but the embroilment at
home has been more extraordinary still. Lord Lon-
donderry, with a feeling which nobody can misunder-
stand, was desirous of imparting to his countrymen
the satisfaction with which he himself had been im-

pressed by the result of his efforts. He accordingly
transmitted the correspondence to a morning contem-
porary for publication, so that the appeal of the Mar-
quis and the reply of the President became subjects of
universal comment. In our own capacity we accorded
of course a proper notice to communications from such
distinguished quarters, but we were unable to dis-
guise our persuasion that Lord Londonderry had built
somewhat more loftily on the President's professions
than the letter of the correspondence appeared
to warrant. Generous dispositions are so naturally
sanguine that the difference between our own conclu-
sions and those of the Marquis scarcely seemed to re-
quire any further explanation; but it now appears
that our contemporary, in condensing the intelligence
referred to, contrived ingeniously to omit the parti-
cular paragraph on which Lord Londonderry's confi-
dence was based. What his Lordship had been pro-
mistd was quietly struck out; what he consequently,
believed was published at iull length, so that the su-
perstructure was left standing atter the foundation
had been removed. With this representation of his
Proceedings Lord Londonderry was of course die-
pleased, and he has now exposed the error audits re-
sults in a letter to ourselves.

to doubt whether the words of the autograph,

to carry the whole of the weight which the nobleraade

into " I will sooner or later set the Emir at liberty,
because I believe that in it is engaged the honour of
France," is he not cemmunicating to an expression of
desire too much the character of a positive resolution ?
We readily admit that what the President is now
shown to have said is considerably more to the point
than what he was represented as saying before; in
fact, the very pith and purport of his letter had been
extracted in the process employed for its abbreviation.
