had seen the letters which bad been published by the
Times, and had resolved to demand satisfaction of the
officers of the Warspite, who were the presumed authors
of them. With this view they went to the French Con-
sulate, and entered their names. They intended to send
a deputation to the officers of the Warspite, but in the
meantime the Prince de Joinville had heard of their
proceedings, and immedia!ely wrote to the English Com.
modore a letter full of dignity, requesting in his own
name, and in that of the officers plaoed under his orders,
the retractation of the insults contained in the letterb
published by the Times as coming from the officers of
the Warspite, We learn that the Commodore replied
to the Prince, saying that he could not believe that
there were in the English navy officers sufficiently base
(assez !aches) to express doubts of the courage of French
officers, and promising to insert in the Times the retrac-
tation that was called for. The Warspite very soon
after the receipt of this letter arrived off Cadiz, and was
about to cast anchor when she received orders to pro-
ceed to Gibraltar."

We read in a letter from Oran of the sth :
" In returning from the expedition which he directed,
in April and May, in the south-east of the province of
Constantine, General Bandon crossed the territory of
Beni-Salah, and remained there long enough to assure
the regular exercise of the French rule. The principal
grievance against this tribe, was the murder, in 1840, of
Captain Saget and the Caid Mahmoud. General Ran-
don, in his passage, brought this affair before the Sheik,
and required reparation. That chief and his leaders
promised to make the affair their own, which they have
since done, by driving the guilty persons across the
country, and seizing their flocks and property. The
Sheik Ould-Labeifas has just given a more marked proof
of his sincerity, by killing, in a single combat, Mohammed-
ben-Gouem, one of the murderers. The head of the
assassin, sent to the officer in command of the subdivi-
sion, was exposed on the 25th ult. in the market-place of
Bona. A public crier stood at the foot of the stake, and
from time to time cried out—' This head is that of
Mohammed-ben-Gouem, one of the murderers of Cap-
tain Saget and the Caid Mahmoud. The justice of God
is accomplished—his brethren themselves have been the
instruments employed. Let them who feel inclined be
convinced that it is really the head of Mohammed-ben-
Geuem, and God will do the rest!' "
