part of a great democratic population. The multi '
tude having recently had their attention directed to
the terms of the Emia's surrender to General LAMO •
RICIERE, by the petition presented to the Prince
Louis NAPOLEON, and by the generous exertions of
the Marquis of LONDONDERRY, have recognised more
clearly than ever the cruelty of the conduct pursued
towards the descendant of the " Prophet" by France,
and the utter want of principle displayed throughout
these transactions by her administrators. Reverting
to the records of that momentous period which imme-
diately preceded the last Paris revolution, we dis-
cover, indeed, amongst them particulars of a cha-
racter so despicable in their evidences of dishonour as
to reflect indelible disgrace upon the regime of Louis
PHILIPPE. We are reminded by them that when the
Ruffians had been bribed into treason against their
favourite, when ABD-ER-HAMAN, the Emperor of
Morocco, had placed an army of 40,000 men
under the command of his son, MULEI MOHAMMED,
when thus deserted by his allies and bunted by them
to the boundaries of the Mogrebbin territory, Ann-
EL-KAD ER was compelled at last to cross the waters
of the Molloulah, and to convey by this road his
Drina within the confines of the French dominion.
We remember, moreover, that after maintaining his
position against 38,000 men, and this with merely a
little phalanx of 2,000 under his own banners, the
EMIR was finally reduced to a situation of such ex-
tremity that he could only have insured
his personal safety by the desertion of the
miserable remnant of his followers. Seeing this,
aware that further resistance was impracticable, and
confiding in the magnanimity, or, at any rate, in the
honesty of the French nation, ABD-EL`KADER offered
to surrender himself conditionally to the commandant
of the province of Oran, the distinguished soldier
General LAMORICIERE. To this proposition it cannot
be forgotten that General LAMORICIERE acceded
with alacrity, pledging himself, in the most em-
phatic manner conceivable, to see the terms
of the surrender fulfilled. Nor was this the only
engagement entered into with the EMIR, the word
of the French soldier being backed by the word
of a French Prince, the conduct of General LAiaoai-
ems in according this " anlaun" being formally
and solemnly approved of by the Duc D'AUMALE, a
son of the KING, and at the period in question the
Governor of the whole land of Algeria. After having
thus briefly and distinctly brought these facts to
public remembrance, it is scarcely necessary, we con-
ceive, to remark that the conditions of the surrender
were ratified by the Duo D'AUMiLE, in
every, even the minutest, particular—that
into his bands it was, as the son of the
French SOVEREIGN, and as his recognised viceroy in
Algeria, that the EMIR delivered up his sword, accom-
panying it at the time, if we recollect rightly, with
the friendly gift of his favourite charger—an Arabian.
An account of this surrender, accompanied with a
precise mention of its conditions, was transmitted of
course at the time to the Home Government; and
AED -EL- KADER found himself shortly afterwards,
as NAPOLEON bad done in 1815, received as a gue3t
upon the hearth of his former enemies, and
then, as it were—when he least suspected
it--" immolated." The promise of General LAmoni-
CIERE was nothing, the promise of the Duc D'AUMALE
was nothing, the pledges given successively by a
soldier and a Prince were flagrantly set at defiance,
and instead of finding himself treated according to
his solemnly ratified stipulations, ABD -EL-KIDER
awoke from his dreams of Christian honour to behold
himself entrapped into a close incarceration. Remem
ber, it was solely owing to his confidence in the faith of
the French nation, that he had yielded himself up
to the authority of its representatives. Had
he so pleased, he might, even then, at the eleventh
hour, have evaded their grasp, and found shelter from
his enemies in the wilderness ; but, reposing im-
plicit belief in the word of a French soldier, sup-
ported as it was by the promises of a French Prince,
be voluntarily entered the camp of the Duc D'AUMALE,
and delivered himself up to the ruler of Algeria. In
order to demonstrate beyond all contradiction the ac-
curacy of these statements, that ADD- EI,KADER
might still have escaped from the grasp of
his European antagonists, it is only necessary
to refer to the declaration made on the 3d of Fe-
bruary, 1848, by no less a personage than General
LAMORICIERE. According to the views of that dis-
tinguished soldier, he maintained " that all responsi-
bility had been taken off his shoulders, as soon as the
Government had ratified the convention. Re could
not," he insisted, " under the circumstances, have
forced the EMIR to surrender unconditionally. Re
might have secured his tent, and even his carpet; but
the EMIR himself would have been able to reach
the desert." Yet, with these considerations be-
fore them, the Ministers of LOUIS PHILIPPE, guided
in all their deliberations by the personal feelings
of that Alonarch and by the despicable subserviency of
his Vizier, M. GUIZOT, proved faithless to the
engagements of the Due D'AUMALE, and shamelessly
retained the EMIR in imprisonment. So monstrous in
every respect was the course pursued in this instance
by the French Government, so execrable and odious
was its turpitude towards one of the most illustrious
and heroic of its antagonists, that it is no wonder,
indeed, to find the treatment of ABH.EL•IiADER num-
bered amongst those heinous crimes for which the
corrupt monarchy of Louis PiiiLirris was doomed
to suffer such tremendous punishment. If the Spanish
marriages, if the Ministerial atrocities of TESTS and
others, if the diabolical guilt of the aristocracy, as
revealed in the instance of the Due DE CHOISEUL
PRASLIN, can be said to have precipitated events to-
wards the outbreak of the revolution of February,
that terrible explosion must be regarded as in like
manner retributive of the faithlessness shown by the
monarchical administrators in their conduct towards
AED-EL,KADER. True, no doubt, that the Republic
has failed as yet to efface the stain imprinted on the
national honour by the Monarchy, a stain which led
in some measure to the hurling down of the royal
'scutcheon—yet, in spite of all delays, we rest as-
sured that the expiation here alluded to is only de-
ferred until some favourable opportunity presents
itself for the redeeming of the national credit by a mag-
nanimous act on the part of the democratic Govern-
ment. May that opportunity present itself very
speedily, so that the great man who is now unjustly
detained within the Chateau d'Amboise may be at
length liberated, and a grievous disgrace at the same
moment be erased from the remembrance of
Christendom.

MARRIAGE of MISS TALBOT and LORD
EDWARD HOWARD —( 11-11 S DAY)
The marriage of Miss Talbot, whose confinement in the
convent at Taunton was ao long a subject of public discus-
sion, and Lord Edward Howard, the son of the I ;like of
Norfolk, was solemnized this morning at the Roman Catholic
Chapel is Warwick-street, Regent-street, before a large as-
semblage of members of the aristocracy and nobility. The
marriage ceremony, which was accompanied by " low
mass," is which Dr. Doyle, the bride's legal guardian, as-
lasted by the Rev. Mr. Daniel and the Rev. J. Cotter. offi•
elated, commenced at eleven o'clock, and did not terminate
until twelve. The altar was prepared and decorated for the
occasion, and had a :very grand and imposing appearance.
The railing usually surrounding it was taken away, and
richly covered chairs and kneeling cushions for the
distinguished bride and bridegroom were placed im-
mediately in front, while forms covered with
the same rich material were ranged on each side.
The galleries and body of the chapel were crowded to ex-
cess, chiefly by elegantly dressed ladies, and the greatest
anxiety was evinced to catch a glance at the coutenance of
the youthful bride, whose fate at one time was so much a
matter of public curiosity and solicitude. In this, however,
many were disappointed, ks she wore over her head a richly
embroidered veil, and look &I towards the ground, as if too
modest and timid to encounter the earnest gaze of those
around. The spectators nearer the altar were more fortu-
nate, and saw enough to convince them that there was
great intelligence and personal charms concealed beneath
the light lace covering. he bride was attended by six youth-
ful and beautiful bridemaids, attired in white, several of
whom belonged to families of distinction.
The Lord Chancellor, who by right of his high office, acted
as parent and guardian of Miss Talbot, and had shown
throughout an anxious desire to consult her happiness, ,
was in attendance early, and in addition to honouring the I
ceremony with his presence, gave away the bride, to whose
marriage with Lord Edward Howard, he gave his final con-
sent on Saturday last. The Duchess of Sutherland also ho-
noured the youthful couple with her company, and looked
almost as beautiful and fascinating as ever. We noticed
also present, the Duke and Duchess of Norfolk, Lord Arundel
and Surrey and Lady, Lord Camoys, the Marquis of West-
minster, Mr. John Abel Smith, M.P., Mr. Stafford, M.P.,
and others. The service having concluded, the parties,
preceded by the priests and acolytes, retired into
the vestry, where the usual form of registration was gone
through. This being completed, the bride leaning on the
arm of Lord Edward, left the vestry, and passing through
the crowd in the body of the chapel, amidst very cordial
greetings, which she recognised by low bows, left by one of
the doors in Warwick-street, and entered the carriage
which was waiting outside, and drove off at a very rapid
pace, on their way to Arundel Castle, where it is supposed
they will pass their honeymoon. During the whole morning
Warwick-street was filled with carriages and crowded with
mobs of people, whom the event had collected together.
