for the future welfare of France, but still he thought it would
be madness to nourish ideas of conquest and territorial
aggrandisement, when they still had Algeria to organise and
occupy them. All that } ranee wanted from the Emperor of
Morocco was to keep peace with her; but, for that, it was
indispensable that Abd-el-Kader should not remain on tho
frontier, always ready to light up war. What the Govern-
ment had a right to demand, and was now demanding, from
the Emperor, was the disbanding of the corps formed on the
frontier of .Morocco ; the recal and punishment of the officers
who acted contrary to his orders. What they asked, besides,
was that Abd-el-Kader, if Morocco was still willing to give him
an asylum, should be sent to the coasts of the Atlantic—that
he should,in fact, be treated by the Government of Morocco as
the French Government always acted towards foreign refugees.
Such was the policy of the Government relative to Morocco,
and such were the objects which measures had been taken to ob-
tain satisfaction for. Morocco would be given clearly to un-
derstand that the present state of her relations with France
cannot continue. All the necessary measures had been taken
by sea and by land to arrive at that result ; reinforcements
had been or should be sent to Marshal Bugead ; naval forces
had been placed under the command of one of the Princes ;
and he did not hesitate to declare, to the honour of that
Prince, that the Cabinet had recommended that choice to his
Majesty, having full confidence that in this circumstance the
Prince would display as much prudence as valour. Without
this double conviction the Cabinet would not have given that
recommendation to the King. They .well knew the respon-
sibility of confiding to a Prince a command in the army or
navy, they knew that they had to assume the responsibility
of the persons so employed. But in this circumstance they
felt that their political instructions would be as exactly ob-
served as those relative to the fleet, and on that account they
had confided to the Noble Prince the mission in question.
The instructions given were in conformity with what he had
just stated to the. Chamber. There was nothing secret in
them—nothing that could not be avowed to their allies and
to the Chamber. Without any doubt, England had a right
to watch that none of her interests were compromised in this
affajr. The French Government had informed her of their
general intentions, telling the whole truth, and proving that
they had no other object than. to obtain justice. Such were
the precise facts, as they related to the political intentions of
the Government, to the instructions given to the Prince de
Joinville, and to their intercourse with England respecting
the affairs of Morocco."

These sentiments were loudly cheered, and the
Chamber immediately proceeded to the order of the
day—the budget of the war department—which was
adopted without a division. The sum of 20,000,000
francs was voted for the fortifications of Paris. In
the Chamber of Peers the absurd clause introduced
into the Orleans and Bordeaux Railway Bill, for-
bidding Menibers of Parliament to be administrators
or contractors, was unanimously rejected.

The Journal des Debats gives the following story,
communicated by a correspondent at Akaroa, New
Zealand, dated January 28 :

" Probably before my letter arrives in France you will
have learnt that the Mahouris, a tribe of Zealanders, have
killed thirty English of this colony; but you perhaps will
not know that the bodies of these unfortunate men were
eaten. This is but too true. We had been out on a hunt-
ing party for a week, when one evening we arrived among
the friendly tribe of .the Terauparaa, or Mahouris, and
found them regaling themselves with human flesh. We all
conceived that they were eating some captives or slaves of
their own nation. As I understand the language, I could
not resist expressing my indignation, and threatening them
with chastisement from the crew of the corvette. The savages
were alarmed, and endeavoured to appease me, by saying,
' They are not men of Mahouri that we are eating, but some
Yes, yes,' for it is thus they call the English. They then
showed us the heads of their victims, and among them I re-
cognised that of Captain Wakefield, one of the distinguished
inhabitants of Port 'Nicholas, who had entertained us at his
own house, when we went to the town to procure provisions.
I was seized with horror at this sight. My companions
blamed me for having risked irritating the cannibals, as we
were only five against two hundred. But they gave us con.
fidence by saying, 'Oh, the Oui, oui (for so they distinguish
us) are good people, but the Yes, yes are very wicked.' rhey
then related that they had killed the English because they
wished to establish themselves in a bay which they had not
purchased, and which the Mahouris are unwilling to give up.
We then retired with our hearts full of horror and disgust."

THIS DAY'S NEWS.

A Cabinet Council was held this afternoon at the
Foreign-office, Downing-street, the summonses for
which were issued on Saturday. All the Ministers
were expected to be present.
THE LATE ATTEMPTED MURDER.—The unfor-
tunate Mr. Smith, who was on Saturday so severely
wounded by a pistol ball fired by the lion. William
Tuchet, has gone on, up to one o'clock this
day, rather favourably, certainly without the
manifestation of any unfavourable syMptoms yet.
The ball has not been at! present extracted, in con-
sequence of its being lodged too near the spine ; he
cannot be pronounced out of danger.

MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-MONDAY.

Fresh up to-day, we received rather a scanty supply of
Wheat of home produce. The finest parcels of both• red and
white mostly found buyers, at about previous rates of cur-
rency, but those of all other descriptions declined quite 13.
per quarter. In Foreign Wheat the quotations are is per
quarter easier for bonded Wheat ; figures were almost nominal.
Chevalier descriptions of Barley were held at previous cur-
rencies, but grinding and distilling sorts were la per quarter
' lower. Malt at an abatement of Is per quarter. For Oats,
the rates declined from 6d to quite is per quarter. Beans, at
a reduction of from Is to 2s per quarter. Maple Peas is
cheaper. Other kinds at late rates. Best town-made Flour
50s per 280 lbs.

The attendance of buyers being small, the demand for all
kinds of Beef was in a very sluggish state, and prices ruled,
in some instances, a shade easier than those on this day
se'nnight. Although a few of the very primest Scots may
have produced 45., we consider the highest general figure fur
Beef not to have exceeded 3s 10d per 81bs. Notwithstand-
ing the number of Sheep were extensive, we have to report a
steady demand for that description of stock, and last week's
prices were fully supported, the best old Downs readily pro-
ducing 4s. per 81bs. Lambs, at prices barely equal to those
quoted in cur last report. Calves at full currencies. Pigs at

BOROUGH HOP PICARICST.
The accounts from most parts of the Weald of Kent, as
well as ifrom Sussex and Worcester, state that a further in-
crease of blight has taken place. In many plantations in
East Kent the vermin is represented as more numerous than
ever; the Hops in Mid Kent and Farnham are, however,
ldbking rather promising. The crop being considered in .a
very critical state, more inclination is manifested to purchase,
and prices, in consequence, are firmly supported.
WOOL WARIEST.
The demand by private contract is steady, at full prices.
BOROUGH AND SPITALPIELDS.
The season for old Potatoes being now nearly closed, the
demand for those kinds is heavy, and prices have a down-
ward tendency—they ruling from 60s to 855 per ton. New
Potatoes, though in good supply, command a steady sale, at
from 8s to 15s per cwt.

firm, and a good demand
exists for the time of year. There are buyers for the autumn
at 42s 6d to 42s 9d. By letters received from St. Peters-
burgh this morning, the Russians were less willing to sell,
and prices were a trifle higher.

Dispatches were sent off on Saturday evening from the
Colonial-office for the Governor of Heligoland.
