FRANCE AND MOROCCO.
(From the Tirnes.) •

The Moniteur of yesterday contains the following
TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCH :--

"OUCUDA, MOROCCO, JUNE 19.

" On the 16th I informed the Morocco chief that
I was about to march on Ouchda, but that I still
offered him the conditions proposed by me before the
battle of the 15th ; he replied pacifically, but with-
out coming to any conclusion. On the 19th I entered
Ouchda without firing a shot.

" The Morocco troops had retired two days be-
fore in the greatest disorder. Discord reigns amongst
the chiefs and indiscipline amongst the soldiers.
" This small army appears to be dissolved. Ouchda
will be respected.. I shall leave it on the 21at, taking
with me about 1,500 persons of the population of
Tlemcen and the remnant of the Deyza, who were
retained by force, and are desirous of following us.
(Signed)
" BLTGEAUD, Marshal of France."
