THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY MOIe_MING, SEPTEMBER 17, 1844.

not to be exceeded by that which has refused to
vacate Algeria, in fulfilment of its formal declara-
tions, or which is now affecting to demand atone-
ments and apologies from Morocco for its own
aggressions on her territory. The Commerce, it
seems, in the language of the Morning Post, has dis-
coveretl the secret of "the Emperor of RUSSIA'S visit
to England, and of that which Count NESSELRODE
has since paid to this country. A treaty of alliance
has been concluded between England and Rus.,ia, the
real and final object of which is the approaching par-
tition of Turkey, and the avowed and momentary
one, the giving to the former power a sovereign corn-
:nand over the Isthmus of Suez for its military and
political communications with India by the lied Sea,
and to the latter, the passage of the Dardanelles for
the Black Sea fleet."

We have not the heart gravely to contradict this
hypothesis ; it is too overwhelming and too probable.
But the " Courrier Francais" publishes a long letter
from Aden, reprinted in the Times, which is the per-
fection of the politico-moral hypocrisy we have ad-
verted to. It is curious, that in the same paper, we
have an extract from the Hon. Mr. CUSHING'S inte-
resting description of Aden, forwarded by that gentle-
man (American Commissioner to China) to the
National Institute at Washington. Mr. CusHING,
writing like an observant and intelligent traveller,
speaks approvingly of our sagacity and indomitable
perseverance ; but never once detects in the manifes-
tation of these qualities a deliberate desire to shut
out all the world besides from the commerce of
Arabia and India :

" In taking possession of Aden, in Arabia," says Mr.
Cushing, " the English Government has recently ac •
quired a very important military post on the southern
shores of Arabia, near to the Straits of Ba,belmandel,
which commands the Red Sea and the Sea of Arabia, as
Gibraltar does the Mediterranean and a portion of the
Atlantic. Aden is, even more than Gibraltar, a castle of
nature's own construction. At Gibraltar England has
excavated for herself a citadel in the heart of a lime-
, stone mountain. At Aden she has planted herself in an
ancient crater, and sits secure within the primeval for-
tress formed by the lofty sides of an extinct volcano."
The correspondent of the Courrier hopes that his
information " about Aden may be useful to his
country;" and, therefore, sets out with the important
announcement that it was formerly called Portus Re-
manus, and is a town of the Yemen, which, from its
position and recent occupation by the English, pro-
mises to become an important commercial and military
station, particularly now that. Egypt is advancing to-
wards the period when she will become a British colony.
(More information here.) After giving a minute
description of the fort, the harbour, the batteries, and
the heights on which these latter are erected, he
breaks out into the following strain of amusingly
splenetic contemplation :
" I ascended these heights, and I confess Lwas asto-
nished to find the harbour so easily defended, and this im-
pregnable position, surrounded by a natural girdle of
bastions, which only wait to be armed to be capable of
annihilating the mcst formidable fleets. I experieneed
the most painful emotions at the idea of the consequences
of these preparations. I cannot comprehend how France
and Europe regard with indifference England preparing
a new Gibraltar on this road, fruitful in riches, which
extends from the Eurs,?nean Ocean to the Indian Ocean
by traversing Egypt. We must not deceive ourselves, it
is a new Gibraltar which is aLready erected at Aden."

A very grievous thing, indeed ! What a piece of
presumption in England—
when prance was so
honourably signalising the profundity ai:d grandeur
of her designs by a descent on the Marque."", all
angry demonstration against Buenos Ayres, a comp
de main upon Otaheite—to cast about and plant the
British flag on so commanding a post upon "a road
cruitful in riches"—instead of cocoa-nuts or bread-
fruit trees. The writer anticipates that if England
be interrogated on this subject, she may probably
reply, " What we are doing is against the Arabs."
['his, we are told, is " vain pretext and pure decep-
tion," for " it is evident these works are intended for
more than the muskets of the Bedouins." Astonish-
ing discovery ! That the walls and works which pro-
tect Aden, the strongest natural post, perhaps, on the
Nhole coast of Arabia, should be more than musket
proof, is a fact well calculated to awaken the most
profound and alarming suspicions. " Everything,"
we are told, " marches silently towards one object,
"atal to the liberty of the seas for every nation in
Europe." The truth is, that this French letter-writer
seems indignant at the notion of batteries being
raised of greater resisting power than the log-forts of
:)taheite, or the ruinous bastions and casemates of
Tangiers or Mogadore. He quotes (as the informa-
tion, we suppose, which is to be useful to his country)
this des2ription of Aden from some pestilent "Eng-
ish elementary treatise, entitled System of Geo-
;raphy "

" This peninsula has much resemblance to the rock of
3 ibraltar, and may be easily rendered as impregnable. .
Die English Government has taken possession of it.
Aden has the advantage over Gibraltar of possessing a
;►arbour which is perfectly secure and capable of con-
aining the most formidable squadron, and, consequently,
)f holding the key of the Red Sea against any power
hat exists. Last year three British officers came to
den to study a general system of defence, of which the
corks executed at the entrance of the town are the com-
nencement."

And we fear the reader will be hardly prepared to
believe that these Commissioners, instead of recom-
nending their own Government to lay their reports
)efore Admiral DUPETIT TUOUARS, or the Prince DE
TOINVILLE, and to solicit the Government of France
o seize, but of course "not to occupy," the fort and
little adjacent territory of Aden, have actually con-
-ributed to bring about this very un-French like state
,f things there :—" At present the rocks of Aden are
!roNvned with cannon. The only entrance to the town
is fortified, and the garrison is already composed of
tw o regiments of infantry and two companies of
Indian and European artillery." We suppose it will
demanded of Lord ABERDEEN that he, at least,
.vill cashier the Commissioners and recal the troops.

The Irish Orangemen are just beginning to re-
'over from the panic occasioned by the unexpected
iberation of O'CortriELL and his fellow-traver-
;ers. So long as the Richmond Penitentiary held
:heir men in its stringent embrace, all was just
is it should be in the opinion of their bigoted adver-
saries ; but now that the decision of the law Lords
has released them from their captivity, affairs are
assuming a blacker aspect than ever, and the
severest measures must be resorted to by Govern-
ment. Such is the advice given to Ministers by the
Dublin Evening Mail—the accredited organ of the
Orange party in Ireland ; which having got over the
first shock of the decision of the House of Lords, has
rallied all its energies, and is now more furious in
its demands that the harshest steps be immediately
taken by the Executive to put down the reviving
Repeal agitation, This is our Contemporary's own
language on this ticklish matter :—" The agitation is
revived. It resumes its menaces. It is busy with
,ts organisation. What then remains, but to arrest
he progress of sedition by all the means, ordinary
and extraordinary, with which the Constitution, provi-
lent of all extremities, arms the Executive ? If the
present means be not co-extensive with the exigency,
end that Parliament must sanction whatever more
may be requisite, there must be, in time to meet the
evil, a meeting of Parliament. Meanwhile, prompt-
measures must be taken to curb the conspiracy, and
break down the force of its organisation. The seat-
and nucleus of the sedition must be razed, and its
elements scattered and dispersed. The Repeal As-
sociation must be extinguished by the strong
hand of the law or if the law, weakened
by the late reverse be inadequate to the task—then
by the strong hand of authority. The Association
must be proclaimed down—scattered—suppressed !"
Such are the opinions of the Dublin Evening Mail,
which are well worthy of attention, inasmuch as they
may fairly be presumed to be the opinions also of the
Irish Orangemen. But how is it possible that Go-
vernment can act as our indignant Dublin Contempo-
rary advises ? How can they put down the Repeal
agitation ? How prevent the question exercising a
magic influence over the minds of the Irish—more
especially those of the lower class ? Suppose the
Repeal Association suppressed, the Conciliation
Hall shut up, and a strong body of policemen
stationed at the portals. What then ? Is there
one efficient step taken towards the pacification
of the sister-country ? is the idea of a Parliament
in College-green blotted' out from the minds of the
agitators, and those who think and feel with them ?
Not a bit of it. The very opposition it encounters
will have no other effect than to fix the idea still
deeper than ever in the hgearptrsinocfiptlhe—e
principle—which
abnedfortoe

—opainliivoinn—say, rather, a crotchet.
Masses of men may be subdued—physical force may'
be borne down by physical force ; but who shall .
subdue a Thought—annihilate a Feeling—strike

down a Faith ? As we said a few days since in The 1
Sun, while writing on this subject, there is but one
way left to extinguish the agitation for Repeal—
and that is, by doing justice to Ireland, not
in a condescending, but in a conciliatory spirit—
not as a matter of favour, but as a matter of
right. Mr. O'CONNELL is only powerful, be-
cause Ministers are unjust. To uproot his in-
fluence, you must do away with the grievances
in which that influence has originated. But time
presses, and if aught is to be done in the way of con-
ciliation, it must be done quickly. On the very first
day of the ensuing session, Sir ROBERT PEEL should
announce his determination to proceed, without an
instant's delay, to the consideration of the state of
Ireland, with a view to provide adequate measures for
its relief. Abjuring all party feelings, he should at
once boldly tell the House that the temporizing
system had been tried long enough—that expediency
had run to the full length of its tether—that
there was no longer the faintest hope of
maintaining Ireland in a state of tran-
quillity by balancing party against party, now
inclining to the one and now to the other—that, for
years past, this game had been tried with Orangeman
and Catholic, with no other result than to excite the
distrust of both ; and that, under these circumstances,
he felt that the time had arrived when a more
generous and enlarged system of policy should be
resorted to. That, influenced by the stern necessity
of the case, as also by a sense of what was just
and fitting, he was now prepared to make a
material reform in the Irish Church Establish-
ment ; to enter fully and impartially into the
difficult landlord-and-tenant question ; to ex-
tend the means of education, and place it on a
national basis; and, finally, in the distribution of
official patronage, to make no invidious distinction
between Catholic and Protestant, but to give fair play
to both. Could the Premier but muster courage
and decision enough to come for ward at an early
period of the session with some such declarations as
these, Repeal would soon cease to be the bug-bear
that it has so long been to the British Cabinet ; and
Ireland, instead of Sir R. PEEL'S " great difficulty,"
would become one of the chief sources of his strength.

We have received letters from Lisbon to the 10th
instant. The Cortes meet on the 30th inst. The
war of parties seems to be at its height, and the con-
tinuance of SENBOR CABRAL in power to have brought
that country to a state of extreme peril. Some ex-
tracts are given in our correspondent's letter, from a
recent publication, showing the feelings that are en-
tertained towards the highest personage in the state
respecting the continuance of CABRAL in the ministry,
and the sanction given to his illegal measures. A
rumour was in circulation of an application being
made to the Portuguese Government, by the Russian
Minister, on the part of his Sovereign, to permit a
Russian fleet to winter in the Tagus the ensuing
season. The reduction in the department of the Mi-
nister of Marine, in conformity with the promised re-
form in the several ministries, amounts to 40 contos.

Accounts have been received from Madrid of the
7th, Bth, and 9th inst. The Castellano of the 7th
contains the following on the subject of a Ministerial
modification :

" Persons usually well-informed assure us that a Mi-
nisterial reform is contemplated ; that M. Mon will be
reh:oved to the Department of Foreign Affairs, and re-
placea in the direction of Finances by M. Orlando ; that
M. Burgo
in the ro ,ru will be appointed Minister of the Interior,
pf M. Pidal, who is to take the Department
of Public Tic,truction, about to be created ; that M. Ar-
mero will contin.7e at the head of the? Marine Adminis-
tration ; and that a Win' Ministry of Trade and Colonies
is to be formed and co ',titled to M. Olivan. We shall
accordingly have eight Mi.': ers instead of five.
Nothing, however, had yet'
is"
()e'en decided. It ap-
pears that General NARVAEZ was ...i:xious to take the
finances out of the hands of M. MoN, cause he in-
sisted on a reduction in the army. This in.."4"7 was
contrary to the ideas of General NARVAEZ, ti was
said that the best possible understanding on the subjej`
did not prevail between him and the influential mili-
tary chiefs, such as CONCHA, SERRANO, and PRIM.
The removal of M. MoN from the Finance depart-
ment would not strengthen the Ministry, as it is im-
probable that his successor would enjoy the confidence
of the capitalists to the same extent as M. MoN.
It was expected that the arrival of M. MARTINEZ
DE LA ROSA in Madrid would be the signal for a
further modification of the Ministry. There appears
to be no doubt that M. MARTINEZ DE LA ROSA will
accept the portfolio of foreign affairs.

The official confirmation of the arrangement of
the quarrel between Spain and Morocco had been
received. Count BUESSON insisted upon its being
settled.

The following is the latest intelligence from
Madrid.

" MADRID, SEPT. 9.—Mr. Thornton's letter on behalf
of the Spanish bondholders, with Lord Aberdeen's dis-
patch to Mr. Buiwer in support of it, has been received
at the British Legation. Mr. Buiwer is expected shortly
from Cadiz. The French squadron from Mogador is in
Cadiz Bay. The French line-of-battle ship Inflexible,
and steamer Montezuma, entered on the 3d, but not
having a clean bill of health from their last port, Al-
giers, they were not allowed to communicate, in spite of
the insistances of Prince de Joinville, and were obliged to
leave. The Defensor of Pueblo, Cadiz journal, has been
suppressed, and the editor thrown into prison, for some
strong expressions against the vessels being allowed
to remain, and the danger of exposing the town to the
plague.
" The removal of the body of Montes de Oca to the
cemetery of San Isidro, took place to-day, after a funeral
service at the church of Jan Jose, at which the Queen,
Queen Christina, and all the court were present.
" The taxes received by the bank last month amounted
to 44 millians of reals. Three per Cents., 27 13-16 at
60 days ; Floating Debt, 62 cash, 63i 60 days ; Passive,
1-16,'606 days."

The elections were still proceeding favourably for
the Ministry. A letter from Algesiras of the Ist
inst. announces that the Spanish emigrants residing
at Gibraltar were all embarked, by an order of the
Governor of the place, in the Lady Mary Wood
steamer, for London, on the 31st ult. The only re-
fugees remaining were General NOG UERAS and Messrs.
VALDEZ and CONTI, who were shortly to leave for
France.

The Barcelona journals of the 9th inst. state, that
the engineers who are to survey the line of railroad
to be constructed between that city and Mataro,
under the direction of Mr. JOSEPH Locus, were ex-
pected towards the close of the month. The drawing
of the conscription had been the occasion of some
rioting at Barcelona. The young men liable to it
had insulted the alcaldes who presided at the opera-
tion and the Captain-General himself. The garrison
had remained an entire night under arms, and several
of the rioters had been arrested.

'We have received the Paris papers of Friday and
Saturday. They contain, however, but little intel-
ligence.

The Globe of Friday, the Ministerial journal, has
the following in relation to the visit of LOUIS
PHILIPPE to this country :—" All uncertainty has
ceased as to the visit of the KING to England. It
will take place in the first fortnight of October, his
MAJESTY returning at Windsor the Queen of ENG-
LAND'S visit at Eu. The KING will be accompanied
by the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Minister
of Marine."

The following article from the same paper on :the
subject of the affairs of Morocco is important, inas-
much as all that appears in the Globe may be re-
garded as semi-official :

'Several journals have inferred from the intention of
sending three brigs of war to the coast of Morocco, that
the Prince de Joinville has received counter-orders, and
that his expedition had not terminated. These journals
have come to an erroneous conclusion on an undoubted
tact. The Prince de Joinville is expected speedily at
Toulon, and the large ships which form part of his
squadron, viz., the Suffren, Jemmapes, Triton, and Belle
I'oule, will return to port. The expedition, therefore,
is at an end, and the ships of the squadron having
exhausted their ammunition, it would be useless
to keep them any longer on the coast of Morocco. The
suite of the war with Morocco requires, besides, that
French commerce in the Mediterranean should be effi-
ciently pro:eeted against corsairs or pirates. Seven
vessels of war, four steamers, and three brigs, which
formed part of the squadron of the Prince de Joinville,
are to be employed as cruizers. It is solely for the pur-
pose of rendering this force more efficacious, and in
order that every point of the coast may be observed and
watched, that three brigs more are to be added. The
campaign against Morocco has, therefore, ended, and
all Europe knows how brilliantly. The Opposition
journals pretend that our double expedition, by land
and sea, has amounted to nothing ; we are persuaded
that the Moors think differently. It is not astonishing
that we should act towards a barbarous people differently
from the course that we should adopt with a civilised
nation. None but persons who do not reflect and weigh
circumstances can be astonished at this difference. A
civilised nation would soon comprehend the importance
. of a war with France, and would not have exposed
itself to it. The obstinacy of the' Emperor Muley

Eng-
land, which has exhausted all its means of per-
suasion to induce him to listen to the propositions of
peace which were made to him. It is true tha t the
French press may have contributed to this result. The ,
National two days ago said that the Kabyles an d the
Moos s, Abd-el-Bader and Abderrhaman, know wl sat is
passing, and is said in France, and that they have
correct report made to them of what appears in the
journals. Now, if the French Opposition press were
edited by Moors and Kabyles it could not contain more
insults to France and her Government. The Courtier
Francais, the National, the Siecle, the Constitutzonvel,
the lieforme, the Quotidienne, the France, and the Gazette
de France, say every day that the French Government
is composed of cowards, who bend the knee to foreign
Powers. When Marshal Bugeaud was approaching the
frontier of Morocco, these journals said that he would
not dare to cross it, as England had prohibited his doing
SO. When the Prince de Juinville approached Tangiers
they said he would not dare to fire a gun against its
wails, because England would not permit it. The read-
ing of the Opposition journals, therefore, ra ust have made
the Moors very tranquil. They might well suppose that
these journals, being published in Paris, knew what was
passing in France ; and as all the journal,, with the ex-
ception of two or three Conservative organs, swore that
neither our army nor our navy would dare to attack
alorocco, England being opposed to it, the Emperor
might very well despise our menaces. It may be per-
mitted, however at the present moment, to hope that the
Moors have changed their way of thinking, and that the
French Opposition journals have lost their credit in
Morocco. It is therefore natural that after having re-
moved the delusion in which the Moors had been kept,
we should renew our negotiations with them. The Moors
are ignorant, but they are not stupid. They may not be
able tc comprehend what they have not seen, but they can
appreciate what they have experienced. The lesson has
been a severe one, although the Paris journalists, who
have received neither shells, nor balls, nor bullets, pre-
tend that it was nothing. We have reason to believe

the four conditions laid down by France. We may,
however, admit two hypotheses as equally possible,
although not equally probable—namely, that the negotia-
tions will end in peace, or that they will not. If the Em-
peror of Morocco be so obstinate as not to comply with the
demands of France, she will only consult her right and
her dignity. A great and combined expedition will
again attack the empire of Morocco, by sea and land,
in the next spring ; a squadron will ravage Larache
Mazaghan, and the other ports of Morocco, and an
army will take possession of Fez and Mequinez, the two
capitals of the empire—one containing the Government,
the other the treasure. We may hope that after such
a display of vigour, and after having seen his armies
vanquished and dispersed, for the Emperor would cer-
tainly defend his capitals, the idea of peace, a just and
necessary peace, would at last enter the heads of the
Moors. But, as may well be supposed, such an expedi
tion could not take place in a country like Morocco
without great sacrifices of men and money. It is well
to remember that all conquerors who wished to have a
footing there were repulsed, and that some of them were
killed. Besides, a country without roads or canals pre-
sents excessive difficulties to an invading army. It
would, therefore, be an act of folly not to endeavour
to render an expedition to Morocco unnecessary, by ob-
taining peace by diplomatic means. To continue our
aggression, even if the season permitted it, would
be to exhibit a thorough carelessness about the
blood of our soldiers and the finances of our
country. An invasion may become a necessary mea-
sure, and France has determined beforehand to have
recourse to it, but, as she has only peace in view, it is
the duty of those who govern her to let her obtain that
object by means more in conformity with her true inte-
rests. This question of Morocco would now be finished if
it had arisen between two civilised nations; the ignorance
in which the Moors are, as to the power of European
societies, has alone prolonged it. The Spanish journals
have twice announced that the difference between the
Governments of Madrid and Morocco had been settled :
we cannot say if the second account is more exact than
the first. However, it is supposed that the Emperor
will grant, if he has not already done so, the just satis-
faction which Spain demands, because it is in his power
to do so; whereas it cannot entirely depend on him to
force Abd-el-Kader to peace, and to keep him on the
borders of the Atlantic. It is, therefore, an absurdity in
the Opposition journals to pretend that Spain is more
respected by. Morocco than France. Morocco may feel
apprehensions of Europe, but her fanaticism prevents
her leeling respect for any one."
The Journal des Debuts of Saturday confirms the
statements in the Globe of the preceding day as to the
future intentions of France with regard to Morocco :
" The Duke of Glucksberg and M. de Nyon, with full
powers from the King's Government, have," says the
Debuts, "by this time presented themselves at Tangiers,
to offer to the Emperor of Morocco another opportunity
Ipf saving his empire from inevitable destruction. The
~svernment of France shows itself as moderate as before
6 -4;tories. The conditions to be offered to the Em-
her N .4' Morocco are, it is said, exactly the same as
peror o.

attack on Tangiers had been the object. The :"gOn
will be of advantage to the whole world, and Frans"
cannot regret the cost of it, which, after all, is but a
secondary consideration."
The article, however, concludes by confessing that
very little hope should be entertained that the pro-
position so renewed will be excepted, and that, should
this anticipation of failure be realised, France will be
compelled in the ensuing spring to recommence hosti- '
lities on such a scale as will insure to her complete

success.
•
On this subject the Constitutionnel of Saturday
says—
" France is on the point of opening fresh nego-
tiations with Morocco. We have not heard that the Em-
peror Abderrahman had made any overtures, for if he
had Government would have hastened to announce that
fact. If the intelligence be correct, we are going to offer
anew the terms which hare been already rejected, and
to demand the dispersion of the troops, the chastisement
of a few subaltern agents, and the expulsion of Abd-el-
Kader or his removal to some point on the Atlantic coast.
The execution of at least one of these articles would now
be impracticable or ridiculous—we mean the chastise-
ment of the aggressors. The son of the Emperor him-
self is of the number ; it was he who led the Moorish
army against us at the battle of Isly, and it cannot be
expected that a father will strike his own son. Any
promise he could snake to disgrace him would not be
serious, and the sacrifice of a few obscure chiefs would
not be a satisfaction worthy of France. As respects
Abd-el-Kader, we shall ask, • Will the Emperor promise
to expel or restrain him, and could he execute such pro •
mise ?' We have in reality arrived at the commence-
ment of difficulties, solely produced by the blunders of
our Government."
The COlNStitutionnel, after contending that the tem-
porising system pursued by the Cabinet has afforded
ADD• EL-KADER time to usurp in Morocco a power
paramount to that of the EMPEROR, that it had
guaranteed to that Prince a sort of impunity by
publicly pledging itself not to occupy any point of
his dominions, by not declaring the entire coast in a
state of blockade, thus enabling him still to carry on
a profitable trade, adds—.
" Such is the embarrassing situation in which we have
been placed. After Isly and Mogadore, we expected
that the Emperor would sue for peace. He has done Po
such thing, and we are now going to entreat the aggres-
sor to desist, and to grant us, in reality, less than we re-
quired before any hostilities had occurred. It is we who
are making advances, and evincing the most perfect im-
patience, as if our harbours were in peril, or our terri-
tory menaced with invasion. Those pacific overtures, of
which the aggrieved nation, who had resolved on war
after long procrastination, has suddenly taken the
initiative, are novel indeed. Is it for Abderrahman that
we manifest that strange condescension ? We cannot
believe it. It is another satisfaction we are giving to
England. Perhaps it is a testimonial of gratitude offered
to her by our rulers for the conclusion of the Otaheite
affair."

The Presse says
" Abd-el-Rader is a Moorish littid. In the letters
seized in the camp of the son of Abderrhaman allusion
is made to the Raid Abd-el-Kader, son of Malty-ed-Din.
The Emperor acknowledges, it is true, that his expul-
sion would be favourable to peace, but it is well to know
that he qualifies him by the title of Moorish Said. The
Emperor complains much of the indifference of the age,
bewails the lukewarmness of the faith, and says that
Mussulman fervour gives room to indifference ; he de-
plores the blindness of a great number of the tribes who
remain strangers to the holy war, and who are ready to
pillage the Mussulmans whom the Christians should
drive from their homes. Finally, he recommends his
son to pay attention to the signs of the times, and make
peace with the Marshal, and to withdraw his army from
the frontier, leaving at Ouchda *only Ilamida, with his
G oum."

A letter from Toulon says that the accounts re-
ceived there from Algiers, of the 4th instant, leave
no doubt of the continued resistance of the Emperor
of MOROCCO to the demands of France. Marshal
BUGEAUD was laying in provisions for the winter,
and organising his forces in such a way as to prevent
any incursions by the Moors on the territory of
Algeria ; and, at the same time, to be prepared for
a march into the interior of Morocco in the spring, if
the EMPEROR should not show a more sincere dispo-
sition to treat with the French Government than he
has hitherto manifested. Nothing positive has bE en
heard of Ann-EL-KAnEtt. There was a report at
Oran that he had again made his appearance in the
south of Algeria,
at the head of a considerable force,
but it was not credited.
A Toulon journal of the 9th states that the Labra-
dor steam-frigate, new in that port, has received
orders to complete her armament on the war footing,

and that the depot of the 36th infantry, in garrison at
Toulon, is to embark speedily for Algeria.
The Debats says— _ _ _

" When the Cuvier, on its passagefrom Oran to Moga-
dore, passed in front of Tangiers, she only saw two flags
floating from the consular quarter—those of England an
of Naples. The telegraphic signals exchanged between
the two consular residences and the vessels in the harbour
gave them the appearance of posts of observation—ad-
vanced sentinels—rather than neutral and pacific habi-
tations. The Cuvier learned there that a camp of 10,000
men is established near Tangiers. It is without doubt a
reserve to defend the town, if necessary."
A letter from Algiers of the sth informs u that
Marshal BUGEAUD was to arrive that day. He was
to have a triumphal entry, and the famous parasol and
the flags taken at Isly, which had not been yet sent
to France, as erroneously stated in former accounts
were to figure in the procession. The letter adds,
that the troops had suffered greatly from the heat.
We find the following in the Algerie:—

" Mr. Bulwer was entrusted with full powers by the
Spanish Governmett to treat with the Emperor of Mo-
rocco. Mr. Bulvver repaired to Gibraltar, and thence to
Tangiers, and has signed, in the name of Spain, a treaty
with- Ben-Sellam' Pacha of El-Araich. The following
are the authentic details of this treaty :—Relative to the
affair of Darmon, it has been regulated-1, that the
Raid of Mazaghan shall be reprimanded ; 2, that the
price of blood (250 piastres, about 1,200f.)is to be paid
to the mother of the unfortunate Darmon ; 3, that the
Spanish squadron shall be saluted at Tangiers with 21
guns."
The Semaphore of Marseilles announces the arrival
on Tuesday of the Mercurio steam-packet, from
Cadiz, which port she left on the 29th ult. The
Prince DE JOINYILLE arrived there on the night of the
27th, in the Pluton. It was said to be his intention
to sail for Oran on the 30th. The steamers Vedette
and Cuvier were in Cadiz harbour, and the Suffren
was coming in when the Mercurio left.
The Constitutionnel states that, according to the last
accounts, the Prince DE JOINVILLE, who was slightly
indisposed, will arrive in France on the 18th.
The Commerce, of FridaY, contains the following ar-
ticle on a treaty, supposed, according to common report
at Paris, to be nearly concluded between England,
Russia, and the Porte, for settling the affairs of the
East, and securing to Great Britain free communica-
tion with her Indian possessions :
" We have reason to believe that a treaty of alliance
has been concluded between England and Russia, having
for its real and definitive object the speedy partition of
Turkey, and for its avowed object to give to the former
of these Powers the sovereign command of the Isthmus
of Suez, for political and military communications with
India by the Red Sea ; and to the latter the passage of
the Dardanelles, for her fleet of the Black Sea.
" English and Russian statesmen have agreed that the
moment is favourable to regulate in their exclusive inte-
rest the question of the East. They think that France
cannot now oppose, whilst, if the affair be delayed, the
ncreasing power of France might be enabled to pre-
sent obstacles to the completion of such a plan.
"Such is the report which is now in circulation in the
political circles of London and Paris. Should it be true,
as we have every reason to believe it is, its importance
will make us forget the question of Otaheite and the war
with Morocco ; both of those affairs will become but
secondary in comparison with it.
"Russia, it may be conceived, has no great interest in
opposing the establishment of English sovereignty over
Egypt, and the taking possession of the Isthmus of Suez
by that power. England, on the contrary, would make a
great sacrifice in abandoning to Russia the passage of the
Bosphorus, and the consequent possession of Constan-
tinople. The Russian fleet in the Black Sea has a real
importance attached to it which the Russian fleet in the
Baltic has not. The appearance of this fleet in the
Mediterranean would not be without powerful influence
over Greece and the powers generally of that sea; and,
in the event of war between England and France, would
offer to England an auxiliary of some value.
" We are ignorant whether Austria and Prussia are
aware of these projects, or whether they have published
any protocol on the subject; but what we clearly per-
ceive is, that this is an affair of much real importance
for the attention of France, for every question affecting
the Mediterranean is of vital consequence to her."
The National of Saturday follows up the same
subject in the following tone :
There will be no difficulty in pointing out the bear-
ing of such an event as that alluded to—a treaty of
alliance between Russia and England for the purposes
supposed. We trust that it is not yet accomplished ;
but we have reason, with our Contemporary, to believe
that Russian diplomacy is actively engaged on the
subject. What other object could have induced the
Emperor to make such a sudden journey, or M. de
Nesselrode, at his advanced age, to be taking sea-baths
at Brighton, as if the waters of the Baltic and the Black
Sea had not been open to him ? There is, therefore,
every reason to credit the reports which are in circula-
tion on the subject. It is evident, in the first place,
that having so completely played with M. Guizot when
Ambassador at London in 1840, Russia has a hope of
doing so again now. She knows, also, what faith there is
in the entente cordiale. She has seen the representatives
of France and England everywhere divided whenever
they meet—in Greece, at Constantinople, in Syria, in
Egypt, in Spain, in fine, on every part of the globe
where events cause any agitation. The force of conflict.
ing interests brings on differences of opinions between
i the agents of the two Governments. It is all very well
to talk of alliance, but the real feeling at bottom is one
of antagonism, and that real and deep.
Lord Aberdeen and M. Guizot may talk of their
good understanding, but do they in their hearts believe
that a kind feeling exists bet Ween the two nations ? No,
they ca2llot be so blind. To assert such a thing after
what has L'.ken place would be the most unworthy
falsehood."
The Presse and the Globe, each pretending to offi-
cial information, are at war respecting the period at
which the remainder of the loan is to be contracted
for. The Presse of Thursday said that the contract
would appear in October. The Globe of Friday de-
nies the I°.?ct on authority, and the Presse of Saturday
repeats its forme:
assertion, hinting that if the Minis-
ter sanctioned the coni:.".diction of the Globe, he also
authorised the statement.
The Revue de Paris confirms the announcement
that the KING'S departure for England has be de-
finitively fixed for the 7th of next month. his
MAJESTY is to be accompanied by his two younger
sons, and the Ministers for Foreign Affairs and
Marine. The Gomer, in which his MAJESTY iS to
proceed to England, is the largest war steamer of the
French navy. She is of 450:-horse-,power, and carries
20 guns. The names of the vessels which are to form
part of the royal escort, under the command of Vice-
Admiral LA SussE, are not yet known, but it is be-
lieved that the flotilla will only consist of steamers.
The same journal confirms the announcement re-
specting the contemplated marriage of the Duke
D'AumAnz with a Neapolitan Princess. " The nego-
tiations with that object," says the Revue de Paris,
" have been resumed, and are on the point of being
concluded. The Revue says that it will be celebrated
after the KING'S return from England. The apart-
ments of the Duke in the Palace of the Tuileries are
being enlarged. The young couple will occupy the
entire of the second floor in the Pavillon de Fiore."
We have received letters from Trieste, of the 6th.
The EMPEROR and EMPRESS arrived in that town on
the evening of the sth, and will remain there for ten
days, during which time files, reviews, and regattas on
a splendid scale, will do honour to the occasion. The
Archdukes Jonx and FREDERICK, the Grand Duke
of TuscANY, and the Duke 'of MODENA have arrived
at Trieste, on a visit to the EMPEROR, as also the
Prince of METTERNICH, Prince KOLLOWRATII, the
English Ambassador, &c.
The Levant packet-boat, which left Athens on the
26th, has arrived at Trieste. It brings accounts that
the new Minister of. War, TZATELLAS, had sent a
dispatch to General GRIVAS, who is at Alexandria,
inviting him to return and take his seat in the
Chamber of Deputies, promising him at the same
time a brilliant reception. Sir EDWARD LYONS had
sent to Malta for a ship of war. The steam-frigate
Devastation had already arrived at Athens, from
Constantinople, and there were five vessels of war, of
different sizes at Piraeus.

The Nuremburg Correspondent gives the following
I from Presburg, Sept. 5 :—" The late scenes in the
Chamber of the Magnates of Hungary are responded
to in the country. The rupture between the two
Chambers has never been so marked—they almost
came to blows in the place of sitting. A Palatine,
who has now presided over the Assembly for forty-nine
years, has declared that he never witnessed so violent
a parliamentary storm. The Second Chamber does
not allow itself to be intimidated by the resistance of
the majority of the Magnates, but insists on the pro-
posed reforms. It has just deci:led that the rights of
landed property should be extended to the classes
which are not noble, but this resolution will certainly
not be approved of by the Magnates. In several dis-
tricts meetings have been held to petition the Go-
vernment not to close the session at once. In a
meeting at Pesth very violent language was used,
and it was agreed to send in a protest against the
conduct of the Upper Chamber. This example will,
it is thought, find imitators."
The French papers all contain observations on the
course pursued by Mr. 0 CoNNELL since his libera-
tion, which the greater number of them praise as dis-
tinguished for its wisdom and its prudence.

FLANDERS MAIL.

BRUSSELS, SEPT. 12.—Their Majesties and the young
Princess are to go on Saturday to Ostend, where they
will pass some days.
The King, when he returns from Ostend, will visit the
camp at Beverloo, which will break up at the end of this
month.

There is a great increase this year in the number of
passengers between Dover and Ostend. In the
month of August there were 1,400 more than in August
1843. This increase is owing to the new line of steamers
between the two ports. It seems that the English
Government intends to exchange the mail-boats now
employed for others much better fitted up for the
accommodation of passengers.
BRUSSELS, SEPT. 13.—Several journals of this city
have announced the arrival of Mr. Pritchard; this, how-
ever, is a mistake.

The Journal du Commerce d'Anvers, speaking of
the loss of the Belgian brig the Charles, Captain Hood,
which was stranded on the coast of Borneo, and after-
wards plundered by the pirates, says :—" We under-
stand that the Government of the Dutch colony imme-
diately dispatched a steamer to the place where the
accident happened, and after having severely repri-
manded the natives, exacted hostages from them, and an
indemnity amounting it is said to 120,000 florins. We
shall doubtless soon hear further particulars of this un-
fortunate event, which has caused much excitement on
our exchange.
