TREATY BETWEEN FRANCE AND

MOROCCO.

The Toulonnais of the 6th gives the following as being
the text of the treaty with Morocco, which the French
Government have hitherto abstained from publishing:—
" His Majesty the King of the Freneh on one part,
and his Majesty the Emperor of Morocco, King of Fez
and Sus, on the other, desiring to terminate and regulate
the differences which have arisen between France and
Morocco, and to establish, conformably to ancient trea-
ties, the relations of friendship which have for an instant
been suspended between the two empires, have named
and delegated for their Plenipotentiaries :—For the King
of the French, Antoine-Marie Daniel Dore de Nion, offi-
cer of the Legion of Honour, Chevalier of *the Royal
Order of Isabella the Catholic, Chevalik of the*First
Class of the Grand Ducal Order of Louis of Hesse, and
Consul-General and Chargi d'Affaires of his Malesty
to Morocco ; and Louis-Charles-Elie Decazes, Count
Decazes, Duke de Glucksburg, Commander of the Royal
Order of the Legion of llonour, Commander of the Royal
Order of Danebrog, and of the Royal Order of Charles
HI. of Spain, Chamberlain of his Danish Majesty,
and Charge d'Affaires of his Majesty the King of the
French, to his Majesty the Emperor of Morocco ; and
for his Majesty the Emperor of Morocco, King of Fez
and Sus, Sid Bouselam Ben Ali; vtho have agreed upon
the following stipulations:— •
" Art. 1. The troops 'of Morocco assembled on the
frontier of the two empires, or in the vicinity of the said
frontier, are to be disbanded. His Majesty the Emperor
engages to prevent for the future any assemblage of this
nature. There shall remain only, under the command
of the Caid of Ouchda, a body of men who are not
habitually to exceed 2,000 ; this number, however, may
be increased. if extraordinary circumstances, and recog-
nised as such by the two Governments, should render it
evidently necessary in the common interest.
" Art.. 2.. An exemplary chastisement shall be inflicted
on the Morocco chiefs who have directed or tolerated
acts of aggression committed in time of peace on the
territory of Algeria, 'and against the troops of his Ma-
jesty the King of the French. The Government of
Morocco shall apprise the French Government of the
measures which may have been resorted to for the exe-
cution of the present clause.
" Att:3. His 'Majesty the Emperor of Morocco en-
gages anew and in .the.thost formal and absolute manner,
neither .to - give, 'nor 'permit to be given, in his States,
assistance, succour in arms, .ammunition, or any war-
like-object•whatever, to any rebel subject-0)r enemy of
France. •

- . .
" Art. 4. llad -Abd-el-Kader is placed lairs la loi in
the whole extent of the empire of Moroecs.well as in
Algeria. lie shall consequently be pursued a main
armee by the French in the territory of Algeria, and by
the Moors on the territory of Morocco, Until he shall
have been expelled and have fallen into the power of one
of the two nations. In the event of Abd-el-Kader falling
into the power of the French troops, the Government of
his Majesty the King of the French engages to treat.
him with consideration and generosity. In the event of
his fallinc, into the power of the troops of Morocco,
his Majesty the Emperor of Morocco engages to place
him (l'interner) in one of the towns of the western coast
of the empire, until the two Governments shall hare
adopted in concert the measures-which may be indis-
pensable to prevent his being able, under any circum-
stances, to resume arms,arms,anddisturb anew the tranquil-
lity of Algeria and Morocco.
Art. 5. The delimitation of the frontiers between the
possessions of his Majesty the King of the French and
those of the Emperor of Morocco remains fixed and
agreed upon, conformably to the state of things recog-
nised by the Government of Morocco at the period of the
domination of the Turks in Algeria. The complete and
regular execution of this elatise shall be the, object of a
special convention, to be negotiated and concluded on the
spot, between the Plenipotentiary designated for that
purpose by his Majesty the King of the French and a
delegate of the Government of Morocco. His Majesty
the Emperor of Morocco engages to adopt the necessary
measures for this object without delay, and to apprise
the French Government of them.

" Art. 6. Immediately after the signing of the present
convention, hostilities shall cease on both sides. As soon
as the stipulations contained in Articles 1,2, 4, and 5,
shall have been executed to the satisfaction of the French
Government, the French troops shall evacuate the island
of Mogadore and the town of Ouchda, and all the pri-
soners made on either side shall be placed at.the disposal
of their respective nations.

ANOTHER DISTRESSING ACCI-
DENT AT PLYMOUTH.

EIGHT LIVES LOST.

It is our painful duty again this week to record an
event which has thrown several families into the greatest
state of affliction, by the death of eight persons, who
were drowned yesterday (Wednesday) while sailing in
a boat over the ridge of rocks which stretches from
Drake's Island to Mount Fdgcumbe, and which is com-
monly known by the name of " The Bridges." It is
well known the passage over this ridge of rocks is at-
tended with peril even in fine weather, at certain periods
of the tides, but more especially so in tempest and
storm. The accident to which we refer, and which,
as we have before stated, involved the loss of eight
fellow-creatures, took place under the following me-
lancholy circumstances :—A married female, named
Amelia Smart, and who resided at Devonport, hired a
boat, under the management of two watermen early in
the morning, for the purpose of proceeding into the Sound
to bid farewell to her husband, who was about to leave
this port as a seaman on board the Rhadamanthus
steamer. She reached her destination in safety, and
having had an affectionate interview with him, she bade
him adieu, and the watermen then proceeded to the Re
sistance troop-ship, one of them having a brother-in-law
on board that vessel, and whom he was very desirous to
see. While the boat lay alongside the Resistance, an ap-
plication was made by several of the seamen on board to
their commander, for leave to go on shore ; and this
favour having been granted to eight of them, they left in
the watermen's boat, full of spirits, in anticipation of
speedily joining their friends in Devonport ; but, alas !
these fervent hopes were never realised, for, on reaching
Drake's Island, while sailing dead before the wind, a heavy
sea rolled over the stern of their frail bark (at the time
overladened) which swamped her, and she immediately
capsized, precipitating the whole of the party into the
water, three of whom alone remain to give a statement of
the melancholy catastrophe—two of the seamen and one
of the boatmen. One of the bodies (the female)
was picked up a short time after the acci-
dent, and conveyed to Mutton Cove, and another
(a youngster named Cummings) was washed on
shore, at the island, where a Coroner's in-
quest will be held on it as soon as the boisterous weather
at present prevailing shall have subsided, so as to
permit of the safe transit of the Coroner on his melan-
choly errand. Three out of eleven were providentially
saved. The event, when taken in connexion with the
melancholy loss of life which occurred within one mile
of the island last week, while it cannot but call forth
the sympathies of the public for the bereaved, appears
to us to demand the recognition of the unsearchable and
absolute providence of the Most High.
The names of the unfortunate persons who have by
this accident met with an untimely end, are—Thomas
Mayne, seaman on board her Majesty's ship Resistance;
Cummings, ditto; Holberton, ditto; Thomas,
ditto; Liscombe, ditto; Atwill, waterman, plying
at Mutton Cove; and Amelia Smart, wife of a seaman
on board her Majesty's ship Rhadamanthus.
An inquest was held by A. Bone, Esq., Coroner, at
Devonport, last :night, on the body of the unfortunate
woman, whose body has been brought ashore, and the
jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death by drown-
ing."—Plymouth Journal.

SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAT.--On the passage of
his Majesty the King of the French from Gosport to
Farnborough, the engine was conducted by Mr. Joseph
Locke, the chief engineer of the South-Western line. Mr.
Locke affords no inapt illustration of the present peaceful
and happy relation between the two countries. He con-
structed the railway from Paris to Rouen, and on its
completion received from the King of the French the
Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour. Mr. Locke is
now employed in finishing the railway from Rouen to
Havre, as well as having been the engineer of the
South-Western Railway, and will thus very shortly
have the honour of having effected a junction, so far as
the land is concerned, between the two great capi-
tals.— Times.

THE CASE OF THE MISSES JOHNSTONE.—It may he
recollected that in August last two sisters, named John-
stone, who had endured the most severe trials and priva-
tions, commenced a small school at N 0.27, Charlotte-
street West, White Conduit-fields, in which they failed, '
and became indebted to their landlord for rent, when the
youngest sister died in a state of insanity, brought on
through the anxiety attendant on the school, ,grief; and
Want of nourishment. Their distress having been acci- 1
dentally discovered through the death of the sister, and
the particulars having been detailed in The Sun, the
utmost sympathy was manifested, and we rejoice to state ,
that the case, after being investigated by some clergy-
men, &c., was found deserving, and the surviving sister
is now placed in comparative comfort, although in deli-
cate health.
A thief was caught in a curious trap a few days ago,
at Amiens. One of the men belonging to the soap manu-
factory of M, Frechin heard a noise in the oil vat, for
which he could not account, and, therefore, went to itsoer-
grid
tain the cause. He found a man, who was a stranger to
the works, floating in the fatty fluid,making
to get out,. which were defeated at everyefforts
being unable to make his grasp • . attempt, by his
ceiving at
, a new unction. At
each, 1)7 falling 'gru at any point, re-
length, by due assistance, he wasp got out ; and, as the
account he gave of himself showed that he had fallen into
the: vat in trying to make his

at the strane appearance he cut from his oleagiaous
