FRANCE AND MOROCCO.
(From the Times.)
The violence and rapidity with which the succes
sive operations of the French forces engaged in the
war with Morocco are carried on, have at least the
advantage that they strengthen our hopes of a speedy
termination of this dangerous and embarrassing state
of hostilities on the confines of Europe. It was a
favourite argument of the organs of the Opposition,
who have attributed to France the formal design of
subjugating the empire of Morocco, that the war was
to be protracted by every imaginable artifice, and
the Moors menaced by the slow and steady progress
of the French armies, tending not only to the defeat
of their troops, but to the conquest of their territory.
It must, however, now be confessed, that if any arti-
fices have been used for the purposes of delay, they
have not been adopted by the ~French. Marshal
Bugeaud has fought a pitched battle against an army
at least three times as numerous is his own; and the
Prince de Joinville has proceeded with the utmost
rapidity to destroy the principal mercantile port of the
empire. We trust that an interval may now inter-
vene, during which the effect of these operations on
the Sultan Abderachman may be discovered. The
French Government continue to demand the very
same terms, and no others, which they pro-
posed before the war began, namely, the disso-
lution. of the large bodies of troops collected on
the borders of the province of. Oran, and the ces-
sation of those supplies and that shelter in the terri-
tory of Morocco which have so long enabled Abd-el-
Kader to carry on a harassing, system of warfare
along the confine& of the Desert. The strongest as-4
surances have been, and are still given, that the conces-
sion of these points by a formal treaty will at once
restore to France that security which is all she
claims, or has any right to claim, and will terminate
the war.
The bombardment of Mogadore is one of the
leading operations of the maritime campaign, which
was foreseen and projected from the moment that
hostilities became inevitable; and in this respect it is
less calculated to call forth our animadversion than
the attack on Tangiers. Indeed, although no very
detailed account can yet have reached us of the pre-
cise mode of operations adopted against this place by
the French squadron, we are enabled to form a toler-
able conjecture as to the nature of the attack, by our
knowledge of the preparations made by the order of
the French Government for this very purpose. The
port oNVlogadore is known to be too shallow to admit
of the close approach of ships of the line within such a
distance as to effect the destruction of the fortifica-
tions. With a view to this circumstance some light
vessels, called brie canonieres, carrying four guns, were
prepared some time ago in one of the principal French
arsenals, and ordered to join the squadron. These gun-
boats were to be placed under the command of an officer
well known for his services on the coast of Africa, the
late Governor of Senegal, who probably supplied the
French Government with the requisite information as
to the state of the harbour of Mogadore. If these
facts are accurate, as we believe they will turn out to
be, it is probable that the bombardment was com-
menced by the gunboats, and that under the shelter
of their fire a landing was effected on an island
situated at the mouth of the harbour, from which it
became practicable to bring a heavier battering train
to bear upon the city. The nature of this mode of
attack will also explain -the very considerable loss of
men which appears to have attended the action. We
must, however, wait for further particulars before the
accuracy of this supposition can be ascertained.
Several circumstances connected with Mogadore
and our own relations with the Empire of Morocco
tend to heighten the anxiety with which we await the
arrival of further intelligence. That port is by far
the most important place of trade in the empire, and
we might almost add on the whole coast of Africa,
for since the French occupation of Algeria the cara-
vans from the interior of the country, as well as the
merchants of Morocco, are principally supplied with
British commodities through Mogadore. The total
and fierce devastation of such a city—not only of the
fortifications, but of the city ; the occupation of an
island in the harbour, in which a French garrison
has been placed • the establishment of a blockade;
and the possible, if not probable, destruction of
British property by the bombardment, are events
which can hardly fail to inerease the danger which
already beset, to no small amount, the maintenance
of our pacific relations with France ; and, although
we refrain from expressing a peremptory opinion on
a case which is only certainly known to us at present
through the imperfect medium cf a telegraphic dis-
patch, there is certainly enough known already to call
forth the utmost vigilance on the part of the Queen
of England's Government.
As it is, however, most importaut not to allow this
reasonable anxiety to degenerate into excessive
apprehension, it is well to bear in mind the analogy
which certainly exists between these operations of
the French and our own recent proceedings in the
war with China. We assume that the object of the
two Governments in both wars was the same, namely,
not the acquisition of territory, but to compel a bar-
barous Court, ill-acquainted with the real strength of
the enemy it affected to defy, to accede to certain
conditions calculated to give peace and security to the
future relations of the two countries • to this we
added, which the French do not on this occasion, a
specific claim of indemnity, and the occupation of an
island. The mode of enforcing compliance with these
demands of ours was by attacks or contributions
levied on the maritime towns, and eventually by the
invasion of the principal river of the empire. With
some allowances for circumstances peculiar to China,
and for the interest other European States have in
Morocco, the cases are not so dissimilar as to allow
us to express any very lively surprise or irritation at
a conduct on the part of France so like that which we
should probably have held under similar circum-
stances. Most earnestly do we hope that this parallel
will not end in the work of violence and the opera-
tions of war; that the same liberal and temperate
spirit which dictated the conditions of the British
treaty with China will prevail in the future adjust-
ment of the quarrel between France and Morocco ;
and that the Sovereign
driven by his own of that country may not be
obstinacy or other causes to pro..
long this disastrous and unequal contest. In the
meantime, the next few days will probably clear up
the facts; and determine the course of policy, both
with regard to Morocco and Otaheite, on which the
peace of the world depends
Ministrylds; will retire we have
fromrea the
reason to
believe that, if the balance drops to the side of war,
the present French
overpowered not by the
directionoppos Opposition, but
thebu Government,tby
a crisis in affairs they have
anxiously laboured to avert.

The
igrhoaei
rtsno ctec
o question may now be
said to have assumed an aspect in which everything
like the solid interests of Great Britain in the Medi-
terranean must take alarm. It will be inadmissible
to argue that by the formal occupation of a certain
portion of Morocco territory, France has only done
that which, under the circumstances, was natural and
proper for her to do. It will be senseless to assume
that
only for the sake of bringing
the differences between
herself and Abderrah man to a termination. When a
occupy where she conquers she must, if it were
post is occupied by an enemy,_war when is it to be relin-
quished ? The end of
may not be the
surrender of parts soil
of taken in war. A
found for retention
reason may he ; precisely as
well as for a first annexation. France may de-
mand the securities of an undisturbed peace ; and
just as easily as
she has
taken the island off
Moga-
dore, may insist upon
thenecessity of its remaining
facts, hers. Under these what is England to do ? It
has been said, touch Morocco, the merest point of it,
to the effect of occupation, and the amicable relations
between France and England are at an end. Now
France has touched the Morocco territory. She has
raised her banner on a portion of it. She has taken
possession of a port .
on the coast most important—
le interests. This •
most imminent to Brit's is the limit
the question has reached to-day. Now, what

That France

occupation. That M. Marshal Bugeaud on land, and
Admiral M. do Joinville afloat, may let the world
see what she can do, only if Great Britain will
I remain quiet. But will this meet the expec •

tations of John Bull himself ? John Bull has
fleets ; knows he has ; sees he has ; but of what
value are fleets if merely to watch in silent awe or
scorn the work of enemies ? It would be exhilarat-
ing to learn what old Commodore Owen is purposing,
now he sees this next step at Mogadore. A wonder
is, how he restrained the blool of his British tars from
rising before this. And a miracle it will be if lieute-
nants, captains, and even cockswains of her Majesty's
naval service, are to be kept idle as they are left, from
some direct act of impeachable impetuosity. It is
high time to demand from M. Guizot the terminus
of his Morocco undertakings. For this country, it
has nothing to inquire about Abd-el-Kader—whether
the war is only to end by chasing him from even
the bare possibility of aggression on Algeria, or whe-
ther it end where it commenced, leaving the Emir
unsubjugated. That is the business of Franco. But
England has to see that in the martial race after
Abd-el-Kader, her commerce is not affected, her
political alliance not touched—the Morocco realm not
prevented from remaining intact. All that England
is to see is, that her path over the Mediterranean is
free; that she retains, as she was accustomed to hold,
the command, for the passing to and fro of her ships,
the outlets and outports which connect it with the
ocean. The envy and jealousy of France at the
strong position of Britain in that sea, so far from
exciting surprise, is simply natural and most likely.
But England is not to relinquish her power in that
quarter because envied in it by France. She won it by
sound, good, solid, British characteristics ; by enter-
prise, industry, courage, dauntless perseverance, a free
and lion spirit ; and .she shall keep it, let the naval
armaments of France aspire to what they may—
let pseudo-democracy in France growl till the bull-
dog ire of her five hundred years' rival be fairly up.
Let England's cannon roll from the neighbourhood of
Mogadore till its reverberations be caught up by the
Gibraltar rock, and where the puny thunders of the
Suffren, La Belle Poule, the Jemappes ?—let echo
answer where. But war is not a thing to Wish for,
if it can be decently averted. It is not to be denied,
however, that a suspicious indication of the necessity
or inevitability of it is given by this new occupation
on the French part ; and in anxiety it is awaited to
see what events on England's part will arise as a coun-
terbalance, or at least as an admonition to French am-
bition, that thus far shall it go; but not farther.

European
; this duty has since been increased until the money
commerce. The export of corn is totally prohibited,
and whole provinces producing enough to load awholen
upsea
fleet are reduced to the most abject poverty. The
Sultan finding that, notwithstanding this excessive in-
crease of duty, the produce allowed to be exported was
still purchased, and that the purchasers continued to
gain a profit upon it, he determined to appropriate to
himself a portion even of this gain. The merchants of
Mogadore, in order to meet these heavy charges upon
their exports, were obliged t 3 augment the prices of the
merchandise they imported from Europe. Now the im-
port. duties amount to only 10 per cent.—the Sultan
could not take more upon the goods to be consumed by his
own subjects, because their poverty would prevent them
from purchasing if the prices were raised too high. But
there must be added to the 10 per cent. the regalos, or
particular claims of the Pacha and the chief officers of
the customs, and also the perpetual frauds committed in
taking the weights and measures. To prevent the
decay of the commerce of Mogadore, Abderrahman con-
ceived the idea of granting credit for the customs duties
to Moorish and Jewish merchants, and to one or two
European houses. This gave birth to a crowd of small
dealers without capital, who went headlong into specu-
lations, and the trade of Mogadore lost all its solidity, and
the Sultan runs the risk of losing several millions as
soon as it is stopped by the war."

CITY OF DUBLIN REGISTRY. The state of the 1
Parliamentary registration for Dublin city affords a
practical evidence of the rapid decay of that Orange !
fervour which preceded the last general• election, and •
which continued, although with some abatement, for a
year or two after the expulsion of the Whigs. Lat- '
terly, however, the Orange and Tory party in Dublin
seem to have deserted electioneering as a hopeless and
unprofitable speculation. The agents who had managed
the registry for the Tories have retired in disgust,
having failed to obtain the places they expected ; and
on account of the general apathy existing amongat the
party, there is a lack of the funds required for the
payment of new agents, and all the incidental expenses
of hunting for claimants to the franchise, and bringing
them to the Registry Court. At the preceding registry
sessions, as well as the present, the Liberals have ',wale
immense way towards recovering their lost ground.; Day
by day the Liberals obtain a majority, and the Tories
now can scarcely muster a claimant. On Satur-
day the Liberals registered seventeen electors, whilst
the Orange party did not bring up a single man !I An
effort was made by Mr. Cary, who acted as counsel for
the Tories, to induce the Registering Barrister to'close
the session, but he peremptorily refused. The Liberals
are still increasing their majority.
THE POLITICAL MARTYS.—It appears that an at-
tempt has been made to prohibit the erection of the mo-
aliment to Muir and others, on the site selected within
the Calton-hill Burying-ground. On an application to
the Lord Ordinary, in the Bill Chamber, fur an inter-
dict, we understand the judge (Lord Murray) refused to
grant the interdict hoc stain, reserving to the parties to
try the matter in the Court of Session, in a deliberate
form. Independently. of the question of right, wei con-
ceive this interference an ill-advised step. Half a. cen-
tury has elapsed since the condemnation of these men ;
nearly all who took a part in the struggles of those days
have passed away ; the animosities have been buried ;
and we live in a new era, when one ought to look back
on that stormy period with a calm historical intivest.
This monument is to be raised by those who sympathise
in the hard fate of those virtuous sufferers, the sub-
scribers including the late Duke of Bedford, the late,,ord
HoHnna, and Sir Jainea Gibson Craig. To treat this
tribute as if it was some moral pollution, calculated to
shock the sensibilities of one class of our citizens; and
even disturb the mouldering remains of those who lie
around, is not only extravagant, but can be regarded as
nothing else than a piece of arrant affectation. As to
the question of right, we don't believe that any parties
can interfere with the erection of this monument, sup-
posing the title to the site to be effectual.—Cakdoniax
Mercury.
DEATH OF SIR CHARLES WATSON.—We hate to
record the death of the above venerable Baronet, who
died on Monday last at Wratting Park, Cambridgeihire,
at the advanced age of 93 years, having bent born in
1751. He was eldest son of Admiral Charles Watson,
the gallant naval officer, who so ably distinguished him-
self in the action of the 3d of May, 1747, and wholsub-
sequently held the naval command of the East Indian
station. In consideration of the great services !•.e had
rendered to his country, George IL conferred a baronetcy
on him, but before the patent of the creation was Com-
pleted he (lied, and that dignity was eventually conferred
on his son, the deceased, then in his ninth year. The
late Baronet married, in ] 789, Miss Juliana Copley,
daughter of the late Sir Joshua Copley, by whom
he leaves issue the present Baronet, Mr. Charles
Wager Watson, and six daughters. Sir Charles W.
Watson was born in 1800, and married, in 1827, Miss
Colleton, eldest danglit .e. of Mr. Charles Garth Colleton,
of Haines hill, Berks. -It is a curious circumstance,
worthy of rreeord, that the late venerable Baronet en-
joyed his baronetage under five Sovereigns (Iha6No-i)n,gyyme.-,
re-
received the dignity fr.:m George 11., in 7
William
George 111., George IV.,
George H ,
IV., and
Victoria.
WooncocKs.—Last year we noticed that two
cocks' nests were discovered in MelkinthorpeWwels,
near Lowther, by Mr. George Harrison,
tgamelteeper to
the Earl of Lonsdale, and that in both inn
were all hatched. At that time both Msr.allaersrtishoeg
tieagnds
his brother (his Lordship's principal gamekeeper) ex-
pressed their decided opinion that many of these delicate
birds, if unmolested in their favourite retreats afte the
b
beginning of February, would become naturalised, and
breed in this part of the country. In support of their
opinion ,we have now to. report that five young gds,
strong upon the wing, were sprung a few days ago it the
- same locality. As these' woods are strictly and care ully
preserved, and seldom entered during the summer
months, probably many more breeds yet remain t(I, be
discovered.—Laiwaster Guardian. ,
