THE PENINSULAR MAIL.

SOUTHAMPTON AUG. 27.—The Little Liverpool,
Peninsular and SOUTHAMPTON,
Company's steam-ship, Cap-
tain Birnie, arrived in our docks this morning, at
eleven o'clock. She brings the usual mails, and
twenty-two passengers.
The Little Liverpool brings very little information
relative to the French and Morocco affair. Her Ma-
jesty's steamer Hecla arrived at Gibraltar on the eve
of the departure of the Liverpool, with dispatches for
Government. She reported that the French had
taken a small island, within shell range of Mogadore,
and were fortifying it with the intention of bombard-
ing that place. Matters are quiet at Tangiers.
The Formidable, Sir Robert Owen, was at Gib-
raltar. The Vesuvius, steam-ship, left that place on
the 18th for Mogadore. There were also two Danish
frigates and a Danish steamer at Gibraltar.
The Little Liverpool exchanged colours with a
French brig of war on the 20th, and on the follow-
ing day with her Majesty's ship Caledonia.
The Royal Tar left Lisbon on the 21st for the
south.

LISBON, AUG. 20.—This country is on the eve of
a crisis, which must soon terminate, either in the
downfal of Costa Cabral's power, or the triumph of
his policy, by the restoration of absolutism. The
decree respecting the judges which is, obviously, to
render them completely dependent upon the Crown,
has excited so much alarm, and raised so determined
a spirit of opposition, that the Ministers will find it no
easy matter to stand their ground against it.
The Judges in the Supreme Court of Justice in
this city (seventeen in number) have addressed a
strong remonstrance to the Queen against the
decree. Having met for the purpose of draw-
ing up the address, they previously in-
vited
the Attorney-General, Mr. Ottolini, to be pre-
sent
at the meeting, in order to state whatever rea-
sons he might have to allege in favour of the decree.
That officer appeared accordingly, and instead of de-
fending the decree, acknowledged that he could not
say a word in support of it, as it was manifestly a
violation of the Constitutional Charter; but that, as a
servant of the Crown, he could not sign the represen-
tation against it. The address of remonstrance hav-
ing then been put to the vote, and carried unanimously,
was sent to the office of the Minister of the Interior,
and Mr. Silva Carvalho, as President of the Supreme
Tribunal, was deputed to proceed with a copy
of it to Cintra, for the purpose of laying
it before the Queen—a thankless office, as he soon
found to his cost; for, besides having been most un-
graciously received by her Majesty, he was, on the
very next day, dismissed from his situation as Presi-
dent of that Court. Similar addresses are in prepa-
ration from the Tribunal of Commerce and the other
courts of justice, and although the Minister of Fo-
reign Affairs, Gomez de Castro, is gone to Oporto
for the express purpose of preventing, if possible,
a similar step on the part of the judges of that
city, it is thought that they will follow the ex-
ample set by their Lisbon colleagues. But the " most
unkindest cut of all," and, perhaps, the severest, has
been from the Duke of Palmella, who, after some
days' delay and apparent hesitation, at last went
boldly to the Queen, and told her that, both as a
member of the Privy Council, and as a Peer of the
realm, he protested against the measure, considering
it to e a mostglaring infraction of the charter. With
all Cabral's energy, it is not likely that he will be able
to overcome so powerful an array. The Cortes,
which will meet next month, will soon decide the
question, unless, indeed, Cabral should take it upon
himself to prorogue the meeting for one month, or six
months, or sine die, which is not at all unlikely.
M. Gonzales Bravo, the new Spanish Minister to
this Court, arrived here on the sth inst.

AUG. 21.—The Royal Tar arrived yesterday from
England, and the Liverpool came in this morning
from the south, and will proceed with the mail at
4 r.m. to-day.
Costa Cabral and his colleagues are determined not
to give way ; in proof of which, this day's Gazette
contains a republication of the obnoxious decree, ad-
dressed to the army in the form of an Order of the
Day from the War-office. The reason of this is, that
the same decree likewise attacks the independence
of the military officers, inasmuch as it makes them
liable to be put on half-pay without any form of
court-martial, whenever it shall please the Govern-
ment so to do.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sza,—Observing in yesterday's paper that my pri-
vate Circular has found its way into your columns,
with an introductory remark giving me credit for
what I am not entitled to, I beg to mention that the
public is mainly indebted, in the first place, to the
exertions of Mr. Waghorn ; and, in the second place,
to the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation
Company, for the establishment of the overland com-
munication with India. My only merit is the ga-
thering together the authentic information which my
letter contains, and circulating it among my friends.
Knowing its value to the public, I am rejoiced to see
it obtain more extensive circulation through your
columns, yet I should be sorry for any one to sup-
pose that I laid claim to a distinction I am not [en-
titled to.—l am, Sir, your very obedient servant,
ALEXANDER F. RIDGWAY.

TRAVERS TESTIMONIAL.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Six,—Permit me to suggest, through the medium
of your valuable columns, to the subscribers towards
a memorial to the memory of the late John Travers,
Esq., that if the funds collected for that purpose were
to be appropriated to the erection of additional
" Reform Alms-houses" (with a suitable tablet), or
in increasing the comforts of the present and future
inmates of that valuable institution, instead of applying
them, in any manner, to -Zhe " City of London
Schools," it would be a far more appropriate testi-
monial to the memory of that 'staunch Reformer and
truly benevolent man ; and I know of many who
would cheerfully subscribe in the former case, but not
in the latter.—l am, Sir, your most obedient servant,
V. A. A., AN OLD REFORMER.

NEW INSOLVENT ACT.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—The mischievous law recently passed respect-
ing debtor and creditor, deserves to be branded for its
infamy by every tradesman in the country. The pro-
tection afforded to trade before this Act came into
power was fragile enough ; but, not content to allow
things to remain as they were, our law-makers must
needs again interfere, and cast to the wind the little
security we had. I would inquire, who thanks my
Lord Brougham for what he has done ? I would
aver, not a trading man in England—none will feel
grrogue. If
save the practised sharper and the confirmed
If his Lordship supposes he has rendered the
any
tradeservice, he is mistaken altogether, and, with
all his
sagacity, in total ignorance of our position.
One
really( imagine that a deputation from the
Queen's Bench
had

.of whose characters there can
be no mistake)protee:zaited on his Lordship to insure
his powerful
on their behalf, and that he
would be the means of the prison doors to all
sorts of characters, andleirtnhgvimitGod speed.
Do not, Sir, rank me
unmoved at the fact of a truly unfortunate man being
unfhortuthoste who are
thrust into prison by an unfeeling
butr and
thereby not only separated from his family,
pre-
vented doing what he might for the benefit ofh
creditors, were he at liberty; doubtless many cases ofis i
this kind are to be met with ; and if his Lordship
had introduced a Bill to relieve or set at liberty such 1
characters, he would have been a blessing to the coun-
ty and a benefit to the trade.
I quite agree with your Correspondent that it is
high time the whole trading community "roused "
themselves on this subject, and that associations should
be formed in all the provincial towns for the purpose
of collecting such facts as bear on this important '
subject. I find I have not quoted your Correspon-
dent's words correctly, but I believe I have given the
spirit of them.
Wishing these plain observations may meet the
eye of those more versed in the matter, and who will
bring it out fairly before the public, so that some
practical result may follow that will act as an antidote
to the evil now complained of, I have only to apolo-
gise for occupying so much of your space, and beg to
subscribe myself, Sir, yours respectfully,

A Oxfccd-stre,q, Aug. 27, 1844. TRADESMAN.

" GIBRALTAR, AuG. 18, ] 844.

" Silt,—l have the honour to acquaint you that her
MAJESTY'S steamer Hecla arrived this morning from
Mogadore, bringing about thirty-five passengers from
the west coast of Morocco, for which purpose she was
dispatched, as reported in my communication of the
Bth instant. She brings news of the bombardment of
Mogadore, on the 15th instant, by the French
squadron. The land forces were about disembarking
to take possession of the small island near to it, when
the Hecla left. Mr. WILLSHIRE, our Consul, and
some other British subjects, were not allowed to em-
bark, owing to some local regulations relative to
Custom-house engagements. Admiral Sir E. OWEN
has dispatched the Vesuvius to Mogadore, where her
MAJESTY'S ship Warspite was lying for the protection
of British interests.

"At Tangiers everything was quiet, and order
prevailed. The markets were re-opened and trade
resuming. The defences were about to be repaired.
The savage tribes in the neighbourhood had dis-
persed. (Signed) "J. L. COWELL.
" To W. DODSON, Esq., Secretary, LLOYD'S.

" P.S. The Moors are reported to have fought with
great bravery, and that they opened fire from the
batteries, when they found the three line-of-battle
ships were about to take up positions at two o'clock,
P.M., on 15th inst. The cannonade lasted till near
sunset, when the steamers towed off the large ships to
the regular anchorage ground. At night there was
firing between the contending parties till ten o'clock,
when the Hecla departed, and till eleven o'clock at a
distance firing was still heard. This firing was be-
tween the shore and the steamers with small French
sailing vessels of war. The French had not attacked
any other part on the west coast."

The collision which, sooner or later, will take place
between England and France, cannot be disguised.
The Courts of the two countries are on the best
terms; they are intermingled by marriage; they
have, we believe, a real affection for each other, but
public events and public feelings overpower all private
relations, and unless some other line of policy is
adopted by LOUIS PHILIPPE, there will be a general
European war. This is a frightful prospect. All the
arts of peace—all the communication between the two
countries, the intermarriages, the friendly bonds of
peace, and the community of feeling which prevailed
between France and England on the accession of the
Citizen King, will be abruptly destroyed. England
would regret such a conaummation as much as
France. She would undergo at once a vast change.
Commercial transactions now in progress would be
interrupted ; speculations of vast extent, and of high
importance to the country, would be arrested; France
would suffer in a ten-fold degree ; and all the ener-
gies of the two countries would be directed only to
one object—mutual destruction. History has shown
that, after great victories, the two countries
retain nearly the same relative position. Is there any
prospect that a fresh war would produce any other
result ? England at no period of her history was
ever more powerful than she is at the present moment.
The nations of Europe and Asia admit the fact. Is
France half so powerful as she was under NAPOLEON,
when England, with crippled resources, set him and
the whole Continental Powers under his control at
defiance ? We have no wish to boast of our strength.
Our only object is peace, and we trust France will not
consider a brief statement of facts a bravado. Our navy
is not mere helpless now than it was in the days of
DUNCAN and NELSON. We have no mutiny at the
Nore : there are ships in English harbours more nu-
merous than all the ships of the world besides. We
have sailors too, in abundance ; and we have officers,
also, that are too eager to enter into a deadly con-
test. France, without a commercial navy, cannot
supply the Royal fleet with men ; a great victory, in
the words of the Prince DE JOINVILLE, would de-
stroy the navy of France, and what then would be
the result of a defeat ? But a new force has sprung up
since the battles of the Nile and Trafalgar.
Steam has produced wonders, and we ask the French,
if any country in the world, or all the countries to-
gether, could muster such a steam fleet as England ?
We have steamers of the first class, both in the royal
and commercial navy, that could in a few months be
adapted to every warlike purpose ; and those which
could be put to sea—for we put river steamers out of
the question--would, under proper management, be
competent to capture every merchantman and
every privateer that would venture from the
ports of France. We do not put forth this
statement as a boast. We mention it as a fact
which cannot be disputed, and which is even ad-
mitted by the Gallant Prince► who is bombarding
the towns on the Morocco coast, and exciting, we
hope in ignorance, the most warlike feeling among
both men and officers in the English navy. The cir-
cumstance is to be regretted, but who is to blame ?
We have in no instance interfered with the interests
of France. England had a just war with China,
she avenged her wrongs, made peace with that coun-
try, and claimed no exclusive advantages. France
was placed on the same footing with England at
Canton, Ningpoo, and the other three ports, opened
for the first time by British enterprise. Has France
acted in the same way in Africa ? or can she com-
plain that England is alarmed when French guns,
heard at Gibraltar, are battering down the forts of a
friendly Power? The affair of Otaheite is a mere
farce, but we may ask what right had the French to
take possession of an island which had been virtually
under English protection for fifty years, and expel a
Consul or a missionary, we care not which, in a most
ignominious manner ? It will be recollected, too,
that the Prince DE JOINVILLE seized a pilot on board
of an English vessel of war in a most unceremonious
way in the Gulf of Mexico, and England was satisfied
with a very slight apology. These are facts which
the writers in the National, and Commerce, and
Con,stitutionnel should remember ; and they should
remember, also, that with the exception of the
accidental death of a French fisherman on the
coast of Newfoundland, for which England
made every reparation, they cannot bring one
charge of aggression, or conquest, or insult, com-
mitted in :any part of the globe. Louis PHILIPPE
deserves every praise for the admirable manner in
which he has restrained the belligerent disposition of
the French for fourteen years, and thereby preserved
the peace of the world. He has been aided by the
Governments of England during that period, and
England is still anxious for peace, but it must be a
peace with honour. We cordially hope that the two
countries will see their interests in a true light, and
not heedlessly rush into a war which would benefit
neither, and throw the whole of Europe into confusion

That popular Irish journal, the Nation, which is
one of the ablest, as it is the most vehement advocate
of Repeal, thus alludes to the reported visit of the
Qum.; to Ireland, in the course of the approaching
autumn :—" Her MAJESTY is coming to this country
—coming to liberate the State prisoners, and allay
the waves of agitation with the approved specific of
oily words. So says the Evening Mail. Let her
come; she will learn with her own eyes, which are
full of woman's keenness, how basely her Ministers
deceived her, and how much more ignorant and in-
capable are the servants in her Cabinet, than in her
kitchen and her stable. We do not seek a
Royal visit, and we do not repel it. It can-
not depress the hopes and the labours of the
people (what can or shall ?) and it cannot crown
them with triumph. As for the State prisoners, it is
the QUEEN'S undoubted prerogative to send them
back to their labours for Ireland. If she does, they
are ready to march from Richmond prison to Burgh
Quay, and fall into their accustomed places, like
rested men bound to do double work. From them, as
from every true man in Ireland, she will learn that
it is no boon to terminate an injustice; and if it
were, that all the favours it is England's to bestow
or refuse, would not turn the Irish people
from their solemn purpose." The cold, un-
gracious, and —we may even add— churlish
spirit that pervades the above paragraph will
be confined, we trust, to a very small portion of the
Irish people; the majority will regard her MAJESTY'S
visit with far different feelings, and regard it as an
indication of her kindly disposition towards the sister
country, and of her determination to judge for her-
self of the state of things there. Thus thinking, all
true-hearted, loyal Irishmen will no doubt welcome
their young SOVEREIGN with enthusiasm, for it can-
not be but that her visit will be followed by the most
ausßielous results to the interests of Ireland She will

not come like GEORGE the FOURTH', merely to gratify
a puerile love of pomp and ceremony, but to convince
her Irish subjects that she has their welfare
deeply at heart, and is not the less solicitous to pro-
mote that welfare, because—in common with every
reflecting and dispassionate individual in the three
kingdoms—she discountenances the wild, impractica-
ble project of Repeal, which—if by any remote possibi-
lity it could be carried—would, as a necessary conse-
quence, be attended with the most ruinous conse-
quences to the empire, and especially to Ireland,
which would be the chief sufferer. If the great object
of the Repealers be the promotion of the interests of
the sister country, surely they must know and feel
that those interests will be materially advanced
by the presence of their QUEEN among them ;
for the very first effect the Royal visit will
have, will be to soften tie bitterness of party spirit,
and also to impress upon 'Ministers—who, as a mat-
ter of course will adopt the tone of their august Mis-
tress—the expediency of pursuing a more just and
conciliatory policy towards Ireland than they have
hitherto thought fit to pursue. The Repealers, there-
fore—if their object be as patriotic as they profess it
to be—should be among the foremost to welcome the
arrival of the QUEEN among them with enthusiasm,
even though it should have the effect, which we con-
fidently trust it will have, of weakening the clamour
for repeal, and rendering it a more impracticable pro-
ject than ever.

The Greek Observer of the 10th of August pub-
lishes a decree proclaiming a political amnesty in the
following terms :
" Otho, by the Grace of God King of Greece,—Upon
the proposition of our Council of Ministers we have de-
cided and do ordain—

" Art. 1. We grant an amnesty to those who have
taken a part in the insurrectionary movement which took
place in Acarnania and in Western Greece during the
months of May and June last.
"2. Theodore Grivas, Protopapa, Demetrius, Tar-
casica, Nicolas I. Sollio, Costulla, Chasapi, Constant
Colocytha, Sp. Macristate, and Costa Capo Georgachi
are excepted from the benefit of this decree.

"3. We reserve, should it become necessary, the
exercise of our Royal clemency to the persons excepted
after their judgment.

Madrid journal; of the 20th inst. have been
received. The QUEEN had arrived at Aranj uez on
that day, where s'ae would stop for the night, and
make her way into the capital next day. General
NARVAEZ, accompanied by the French Ambassador,
had also arrived, and his presence, it is said, prevented
a pronunciamento which was to have taken place on
the day of his arrival. On the 18th, the holders of titles
of the Floating Debt and of Treasury Bills met at the
San Fernando Bank, to agree with that establishment
as to the conversion of their securities. According
to the Tiempo, they were disposed to submit to a
conversion into Three per Cents., provided the pay-
ment of the interest be guaranteed to them. The
same journal, in reference to the deplorable financial
state of the country, says—

" The Committee appOinted to propose a new system
of taxation, in order to meet the demands of the State,
has published its report, which declares that, in order
to meet with punctuality and exactitude all the obliga-
tions of the State, the sum of 400,000,000 of reels is
indispensably necessary ; and that this deficit cannot be
met but by making great reductions in the expenditure,
particularly in the army expenses, and thus diminishing
the debt."

The Heraldo thus announces the object of Mr.
BULWER'S journey to Morocco :
" The Government not being satisfied with the repara-
tion given to Spain by the Emperor of Morocco, who
avoids replying to several of our demands, the Minister
of Great Baitain at Madrid has proceeded directly to
Morocco, in order to put a period to those differences,
and effect a satisfactory solution of our quarrel with that
empire. The journey of Mr. Bulwer is also connected
with the differences existing between France and our
African neighbours."

may be discouraged, and abandon Abd-el-Kader, who
only brings them defeat. Unfortunately, the Marshal
does not appear to be in a condition to reap any advan-
tage from the blow which he hai just struck—to assume
the offensive vigorously, and to pursue to the la't extre-
mity the Emir, against whom we have hitherto only
hurled an ultimatum. If it 133 necessary to again tem-
porise, the Arabs will recover from their fright. Perhaps
they will not attack us for the future in a pitched battle,
but will wage a war of razzias, will ruin our allies, and
occupy the attention of our troops, by dividing them.
Meanwhile, this new success of our brave army of Africa
will cause in France a universal satisfaction. Public
curicsity is greatly excited, and, without doubt, the re-
port of Marshal Bugeaud will soon be published as fully
as possible, to gratify it."

We hear, from what we believe good authority,
that her Majesty and Prince Albert intend to pay a
visit to Scotland in the course of a fortnight. They
will go on board the Royal Yacht about the 9th inst.,
and during their progress visit Blair, Athol, Dunkeld,
and Taymouth. Prince Albert's taste for field sports,
and the shooting which Scotland's mountains afford,
with the vivid remembrance of last year's pleasurable
excursion, hare been the great inducements to this
royal trip. Her Majesty will be absent about three
weeks, and will on her return go to the Isle of Wight.
If this be the fact, and that it is the present intention
of Royalty, we have not the slightest doubt the visit
of Louis Philippe cannot take place until October, if
then ; nor can the Queen set foot in Ireland this
summer.

THIS DAY'S NEWS

DEATH of LORD KEANE, G.C.B

and K.C.H.

We are sorry to announce the death of this distin-
guished officer, the gallant captor of Ghuznee. His
Lordship died of dropsy on the 26th. He was a
Lieutenant-General in the army, and Colonel of the
43d Foot. It will be remembered that he was created
first Baron Keane, of the United Kingdom, as a reward
for distinguished military services in Affghanistan,
and especially at the storming of the formidable
fortress of Ghuznee. He was the second son of the
first Sir John Keane, Bart., by his first wife. He
became a Major-General in 1814; a Lieutenant-
General in 1830. In addition to the military honours
conferred upon him, as above mentioned, he received
the distinction (See Dodd's "Peerage and Baronetage")
of a cross and two clasps forhis services as Lieutenant-
Colonel of the 13th Foot at Martinique, and as Colonel
in command of a brigade at Vittoria, Pyrenees, Ni-
velle, Orthes, and Toulouse. His Lordship is suc-
ceeded, we believe, in his title, by the lion. Richard
Arthur Wellington Keane, now (second) Lord Keane,
who was aide-de-camp to the late Lord when he was
in command of the army of the Indus.

The French papers, brought by the ordinary ex-
press, contain little intelligence of importance. The
Commerce and Constitutionnel, some days since,
stated that the KING had abandoned the intention
of visiting England this season. The Globe contra-
dicts the report, and says, " not the slightest change
has taken place in the intentions relative to the
KING'S visit; as, however, it was never meant to take
place before the beginning of October, it; is easy to
conceive that the preparations
,are not very active at
this moment." The same Ministerial journal contra-
dicts another statement made by the Revue de Paris,
about a proposition of M. GUIZOT to the British Ca-
binet, relative to Otaheite, and adds, " Otaheite is
now under the regime of the Protectorate, which
opens its ports to the vessels of all nations, and of
course the commerce of England and France will
be on a footing of equality, for they are so at this
moment. As to Mr. PRITCHARD, the Revue de Paris
forgets that it was decided nearly six months ago
that he should not remain at Otatheite in the quality
of Consul."
Most of the journals contain articles on the battle
of Isly, and throw the whole blame on the Moors. The
Journal des Debats thus adverts to the brilliant victory
gained by the French:—
" This battle of Isly, as the Marshal has named it, ap-
pears to have been a serious affair, and more important
than any in which our troops have been hitherto engaged
in Africa. The results of it ate remarkable ;an army of
20,000 cavalry beaten and completely routed ; the cap-
ture of several camps, covering over a league in extent ;
11 pieces of cannon, 16 standards, and the tent of the
Morocco Prince, fallen into our hands, are the material
and tangible proofs of an incontestible victory, and of a
serious engagement.
" The enemy had surrounded our little corps d'armee
on every side, and it was necessary to cut a way through
the masses of cavalry ; it was necessary to conquer on
every side, and the words sensible losses,' contained in
the dispatches prove that

" War has, therefore, been opened in the most per-
fidious manner by the Morocco Government, even at the
very moment when the Sultan, his sons, and his Kaids
were professing the most peaceful intentions. If this
Government had had the slightest good faith Abd-el-
Kader, with his 1,200 horsemen, would not now be the
arbiter of destiny on the frontier, for this handful of
men, lost in the masses which the Morocco commanders
have under their orders, would have been easily dis-
armed. But, on the contrary, these princes and dig-
nitaries seem to have come only as the auxiliaries of
our enemy, and as if to prove that they were as much so
as he is. All were thus deceived, but we must no longer
be so deluded. Abderrahman is as much ruled by his
own fanaticism as a Mussulman, as by that of his sub-
jects, and it is evident that the degree of wisdom which
has been attributed to him is not sufficient to enable
him to resist this double excitement. Abd-el-Kader is
the champion of our religious and political faith, and we
can never admit these Christian dogs to be in the
right.' Such, in fact, is the manner in which through-
out Islam the rights of nations are interpreted so far
as they concern Christian Europe."
The Courrier Francais, elated by the success of
both the land and sea forces, urges the Government
to follow up the success, and not trust to the "per-
fidious mediation " of England :
"It is but little to conquer ; the point is, to profit by
the victory. Shall our land army possess more liberty
of action than our squadron ? The Prince de Joinville
is free to mark his promenade along the coasts of Mo-
rocco by a succession of cannonades and ruins, but he is
forbidden to set his foot on land. Marshal Bugeaud is
quite at liberty to make an advance on the enemy, which
swells its numbers, and to spare it the half of the way,
but he is prohibited, without doubt, from penetrating
too far into the hostile territory. No matter, our bravo
army of Africa, directed by excellent officers, and by the
skilful Marshal, has just given a rude lesson to the
Sultan of Morocco, whilst the cannons of our ships of
war sweep the shores of his empire. Each defeat will
deaden the fanaticism of his subjects—obstinately bent
as they are on the holy war—and the more the Sultan is
physically beaten, the more he is morally the conqueror
of Abd-el-Kader. By dint of ill-treating him we give
him the power of negotiating. This kind of diplomacy
is more efficient than the perfidious mediation of Eng-
land, who, under pretext of inducing him to adopt a
pacific disposition, has perhaps encouraged his audacity
and strengthened his irresolution. Here we have
Morocco at last attacked by our arms ! Whatever the
jealousy of England the pusillanimity of our diplomacy
may do, the glory will remain to us of having given the
first blow to this last sanctuary of Mussulman barbarism,
and to have prepared a new progress in civilisation.
That sword of France which shone in Egypt, and
brought Algeria under subjection, will not have struck
Morocco with impunity—to it will be ascribed the
honour of having forced Northern Africa, from east to
west, to enter into treaties with Europe."
The remarks of the Constitutionnel are of a more
mild character, but still the writer cannot conceal his
jealousy of England :
" The news of this brilliant action of Marshal Bugeaud
and our troops arrives opportunely. It serves as an
answer to the declarations and threats of the English
press. As to Morocco, we strongly desire, without how-
ever hoping it too much, that this victory may produce
there a ealgtary impression of terror, and that the tribes

BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE.)
IN THE NATTER OF EDWARD EDWARDS.

In this case the bankrupt had carried on business as a
draper in the City-road, and this day had been ap-
pointed to receive proofs of debt and to choose assignees.
Several amounts, constituting in the aggregate between
4001. and 5001. were proved, the creditors being either
bankers or wholesale warehousemen in the City. Mr.
Thomas Scales, of the house of Scales and Co., Milk-
street, was chosen assignee, and an allowance of 21.
a-week was made to the bankrupt out of the estate.

SECONDARIES.-(THIS DAY.)
Mr. Secondary James sat in the Court, Basinghall-
street, this day, at eleven, and heard the cases, but
neither of them contained any point of interest to any
except the parties concerned.

GUILDHALL.—(THIS DAY).
Frances Farrell and Richard Rowland were placed at
the bar, the latter on a charge of being " drunk and in-
capable," and the former with robbing him while in
that state.

The worthy Rowland stated that he was a tailor, and
had been holding " Saint Monday" EO religiously, that
he had got drunk in consequence. While in that state
he was put into a cab, and the female, with whom he
had been drinking, there robbed him of from Bs. to 10s.
The constable said that the female was searched at
the station-house, and 7s. 6d. found upon her.
The latter prisoner was discharged, and then put into
the witness-box, but he could give no evidence, as the
preceding evening was a blank in his memory.
Alderman BROWN said that, under the circumstances,
he could do nothing to the female, and she was, there-
fore, discharged.

MARYLEBONE.—(THIS DAY.)
William Taylor, a lad about fifteen years of age, was
charged by his mother and sister with having obtained
money and clothes from the latter, and from another
sister, on pretence that he was sent by his mother.
It appeared from the statement of his mother that he
was continually in the habit of pilfering articles from her
dwelling and selling them.
Mr. RAWLINSON asked Mrs. Taylor if she intended to
prosecute her own child ? Mrs. Taylor answered in the
affirmative, as she did not know what to do with him.
He was remanded for a week.
John Gray was charged with stealing five sacks of
coals from his employer, Mr. Hicks, a solicitor and coal
merchant, in Kentish-town. It appeared that the pri •
soner, who had been in the service of Mr. Hicks for
eight years, was directed to convey six loads of coals of
eight sacks each from Mr. Wood's wharf, at Kentish-
town, to the premises of Mr. Hicks. On every journey,
except the first, he " dropped " a sack of coals at his
own residence. He did not deny taking the coals, but
said he intended to pay for them. He was remanded for
a week to give the prosecutor, who is in the country,
and who was represented by his son, time to attend.

QUEEN-SQUARE.—(THIS DAY.)
George Thomas Young, a young man of very dejected
appearance, was placed at the bar before Mr. Burrell;
charged with breaking open a safe in the area of No. 26,
Cadogan-street, Chelsea, and stealing therefrom a piece
of beef, weighing 2lbs., and a proportionate quantity of
bacon.

Policeman Henry Hill, No. 176 B, deposed that whilst
he was on duty this morning about five o'clock, in
Cadogan-street, he noticed that the safe in the area of
No. 26 had been forced open. On looking down he per-
ceived the prisoner crouching down in the coal-hole.
He called out to him, and he tried to make his escape,
but he was eventually taken into custody. The meat
which was taken from the safe was found in the coal-
cellar.
The prisoner, in extenuation, said he was very hungry
at the time, and he wanted something to eat.
He was committed for trial.

UNION-HALL.—(THIS DAY.)
Peter M' Walter, a well-dressed young man, was
charged before Mr. Cottingham, with robbing several
public-houses on the south side of the river.
Mr. Carter, landlord of the King's Head, in the
Borough, stated that on Sunday night the prisoner en-
gaged a bed at his house. That he remained in the house
until between four and five o'clock the next day, at which
time the chambermaid, having occasion to go up stairs,
found the prisoner on his knees in one of the bedrooms.
This circumstance excited her suspicion, and on entering
she found that her box had been broken open, and that
a sovereign, some silver, and various other articles had
been taken. The prisoner was given into custody on the
spot, and the whole of the articles were found in his pos-
session.
The barmaid of the Hero of Waterloo was next exa-
mined, and she stated that on Sunday night the prisoner
engaged a bed at the house, and when he want away the
next day, it was discovered that he had entered her bed-
room, broke open her drawers and her box, and plun-
dered them of money, together with several' articles of
jewellery, some of which were found in his possession
when he was taken into custody at the King's Head. A
skeleton key was also found on him which fitted the
lock of the bar-maid's door.
The prisoner said that his friends were respectable, in
Ireland ; that he had received a sum of money from
them to proceed to America ; but, instead of doing so
he came to London, spent all his cash, and was reduced
to poverty. He added that he had nothing to say in
answer to the charge.
Mr, COTTINGIIAM said that a great number of public
houses had been robbed by a welt-dressed man ; that he
intended to cenruit the prisoner for trial, on the two
charges preferred against him ; but that he should re-
mand him till Saturday, to give other parties robbed an
opportunity of attending.

His Excellency Count and Countess St. Aulaire
and suite are expected to arrive in the French capital on
the Ist of September, from his chateau at Perigord, in
Normandy, and it is probable that the Ambassador will
resume his diplomatic duties at our Court in the course
of the ensuing month. It is understood that no official
intimation as to the period of his Majesty the King of
the French's visit to this country has yet been received
at the Embassy, and it is not expected that anything
positive on the subject will transpire until the arrival
of the French Royal Family at the Chateau d'Eu, near
Dieppe. Count Louis de Noailles, Secretary to the ZUl'
busy, is on leave of absence on the Continent. . .

There have been several letters received from Alexan-
dria this morning, in which contradictory statements
are made in relation to the posture of political affairs in
that country. One thing is at least certain, the Pacha
has successfully checked a movement, which, at his de-
cease, would have rendered the succession doubtful, and
perhaps have caused much bloodshed.

There are not any colonial arrivals of moment to-day.
In the Stock Exchanges there has been no great deal
of animation this morning, in consequence of the news
received by express of the bombardment of Mogadore by
the French fleet, and of the occupation by them, of the
island. The Bears were early in full feather, and sold
at first with vigour, but they could only depress the
prices of Consols about per cent. Their courage soon
cooled, and many closed their bargains at the profit
that was within their grasp. A rally soon took place in
consequence to 99q i. The Commissioners bought
5,0001. Reduced Three per Cents, at 99g. The premium
upon Exchequer Bills has advanced to 77. Bank Stock
is firm at 1991, and India Stock heavy at 281. In the
Three-and-a-Half per Cents. the reduction in the prices
were limited to -I, per cent.
The quotations of the Foreign Funds have varied but a
shade to-day. Austrian Bonds have been firm at 1141.
Mexican were at 35i (a shade lower than yesterday) ;
Spanish Consols at 22f to ; the Three per Cents. at
33f to i; and the Dutch Two-and-a-Halfper Cents. 611.
A considerable amount of business has been trans-
acted in the Railway Shares this morning. The quota-
tions are iu most instances lower than they were yester-
day. The Shares of the French lines keep firm. Union
Bank of London Shares are at 2 premium—the same as
yesterday.
