Eynard, will operate in the mean time to the south of Teniet-
el-Had.

We find the following in the Moniteur Algerien :—" While
our columns were engaged in watching the west and south of
Tlemcen, working at the same time on the Sebdou and Alla
Maghnaa roads, Abd-el-Kader, with between 400 and 500
horsemen from the frontier tribes, and nearly 140 regulars,
made a detour, and, crossing the desert country of the Djaffry,
fell suddenly upon the Beth Salimans, a fraction of the Beni
Amers, who had incautiously encamped at Mesid, out of the
line prescribed to them. Several of the dollars were razed to
the ground, their flocks and herds carried off, and the men,
women, and children, who could not escape, massacred. By
these terrible acts the Emir hopes to regain his lost power."
