"We are forced to wait until our dominion be perfectly
assured at the limits of Oran, and until our determined
enemy, Abd-el-Kadcr be definitively rendered unable to
cause us perpetual embarrassments. Ile has again appeared
beyond the frontier, and threatens us. He has re-established
a numerous smala by means of several fractions of tribes
of Algeria, which have rejoined him ; by some tribes
of Morocco, which have been from time immemorial in op-
position to their Sovereign, intelligence was lately received
that a detachment of cavalry sent into the interior of our
limits by .Abd-el-Kader, had led away to Morocco two tribes
belonging to the aghalick of Beni Amer, in the circle o
Tlemcen. It is, therefore, impossible to take away troopef
from the division of Oran under such circumstances. A
regiment had, however, been detached, and sent by sea to
Philippeville for the expedition of the Juritra, but the
Marshal, better informed since his return to } ranee and his
last journey to Oran, is about to restore this body to the
division of the west, where General Lamoriciere has a more
pressing want of his concourse. In the system of military
occupation of Algeria, it is established as a principle that
the central division, that of the province of Algiers, ought
always to have a reserve of six battalions ready to be dis-
posed of, in order to carry them, in case of need, to the aid
of the extremities, whether on the east or west. These
battalions were to have occupied the country of the Jur-
jura, after the submission effected by the grand expedi-
tion. But then the central reserve would be no longer
disposable for the extremities. In consequence, the Mar-
shal had demanded from the Minister of War, and from
the supplementary credits an augmentation of eight batta-
lions. This demand appearing to have but little chance of
success in the Chambers, and it being possible, without incon-
venience, to postpone to another period the subjection of the
great Kabylia, which is certainly indispensable, the Marshal
has changed his plans. According to letters which we have
ourselves received, what the expedition is to consist of this
year will be this :—The troops are to proceed beyond the
Isser and Dellys, in the aghalick of Sebaou, amongst the
Flissas and the Amrouas, to consolidate the authority of our
Kalifa Mahiddin, and reducesome fractious portions of tribes
on the western slope of the chain of the Jurjura, but they are
not to penetrate into the heart of these mountains. The idea
has been given up of bearing on this centre the columns which
were to leave Setif, Philippeville, and Bougia at the same
time as the principal column left Dellys. It is thought that
a simultaneous movement will be executed only by a column
that is to leave Bougia, where stores were collected a month
back. Our letters state in addition that the expedition will
not last fur a longer period than a fortnight."
The intelligence from Zurich is to the 21st. On the
18th the Commissioners sent to Lucerne had made their
report to the Diet, from which it appears that they had
not made much progress in the negotiations with the
Council of that canton. They express a hope, however,
that none of the prisoners, except one, perhaps, will
suffer capital punishment. The proposition for a general
amnesty was strongly opposed by a majority of the
Council. The report thus concludes :
",We now transmit to you particulars relating to the situa-
tion of the prisoners as complete as is consistent with the
difficulties with which such inquiries are surrounded. Among
the prisoners, there were only nine foreigners who have been re-
leased. Yesterday and the day before 90 Argovians under 20
years of age were sent to Reinach. To-morrow there will be
sent off to Hutwyl and Hofwyl about 120 young men of
Berne, Soleure, and Bale. We have ordered the Commandant
of the division to escort these last as far as Olten, whence
they will be sent by the police to their own homes. The
authorities of Lucerne have manifested an intention of
shortly liberating a great many more prisoners, including
those against whom the charges are lightest, such as are
sick, and such as are without means of subsistence. These
are estimated at between 500 and 1,000. The classification
of these will require some time. However, we may presume
that this liberation may be begun next week, unless the pro-
gress of negotiations or other incidents should cause delay."
The Diet finding their deliberations of little or no use
had adjourned sine die.
