The Presse says—
" Abd-el-Kader is a Moorish Raid. In the letters
seized in the camp of the son of Abderrhaman allusion
is made to the Kaid Abd-el-Kader, son of Mahy-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 Raid. 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 Ottchda only Ilawida, with his
Goum."

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 been
heard of Ann-EL-FADER. 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 and
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 us 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 Government to treat with the Emperor of Mo-
rocco. Mr. Bulwer repaired to Gibraltar, and thence to
'Tangiers, and has signed, in the name of Spain, a treaty
with- Ben-Sellen)' 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 2
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 JOINVILLE 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, fur 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 vie 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
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 between the two nations ? No,
they cannot be so blind. To assert such a thing after
what has taken 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 fact on authority, and the Presse of Saturday
repeats its former assertion, hinting that if the Minis-
ter sanctioned the contradiction of the Globe, he also
authorised the statement.
The Revue de Paris confirms the announcement
that the KING'S departure for England has been de-
finitively fixed for the 7th of next month. His
MAJNSTY 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 gUSSE, 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
n'AUMALE 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 Emratoa and 4ur,aus arrived in that town on

-
been placed. After Isly and Mogadore, ire expected
that the Emperor would sue for peace. He has done no
such thing, and we are now going to entreat the aggres-
sor to desist, and to grant us, in reality, less than H e 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."
