AniOng the vaunting and absurd tirades with which
a large. portion of the French press has lately been,
indulging against the' British people and British-
grandeur, none have been more childishly absurd or
splenetic than their spiteful, but amusing, attempts at
disparaging;, our maritime greatness. After all, it
appears our naval force is • not so very imposing, and
our rank among the nations not so difficult Vibe de-
graded. We are to be beaten.by the superior tactics
of French naval officers, and the superior courage' and
alacrityof French sailors! , We have been defeated,
it is said, by these means, on thenumerous occasions
—which they cannot point outt---rwith victorious
results to France, only rendered equivocal by the
clesi-ruotion. of her fleets, and the constant capture of
single ships and , vessels under her flag, by British

A _ •
ccounts from Madrid of the 9th inst. state, that
intelligence had been received on the previous even-
ing from Gibraltar, announcing that the Emperor :of
MOROCCO had acquie.scedin all the demands of France
and Spain. It thus appears that all parties in that
quarter have been taken by surprise by the unexpected
and sadden bombardment of Tangiers. The next in-
telligence.from Gibraltar will, therefore, be looked to
with much interest. The editor of the , Eco del
Contereio, a Madrid journal,was tried on the Bth for
a libel on the Government, and acquitted by a jury of
his eountrymen. This shows that some patriotieni-
still remains in that unfortunate country.
The Three per Cents. were done at 28 for cash,
and 281 at 60 days; and the Five per Cents. at 19
15-16 at 60 days.' , .

The principal intelligence in the Paris papers has
been anticipated by the telegraphic dispatches pub-
lished on Friday. The 'bombardment of Tangiers
had caused muCheichement, and depressed the funds
fully a: quarter per cent. Every one looked forward
to a peaceable termination of the contest at the mo-.
men.t~ when the French Admiral wai destroying the
‘rtifications, and we fear also the houses of innocent
foreign'. residents in the chief Moorish toWn on the
Straits of Gibraltar. ' Yesterday morning," says
t
theßevue de Paris, " the news from Morocco was
iitcific-. We knew that courier had left the YOreign-
office with dispatchei fOr the Duke -DE -GIAJCZ*IIIII6,
ithdli -at this"moment in Madrid.- Those dispatches
-contained ihe instructions and powers necessary to
ratify, in, the name, of the Itutd,, the agreement con-
cluded by M. Da NioN. Immediately on receipt of
those dispatches, M. DE GLIJCiSBERG was to repair from.
Madrid to Cadiz, 'where the steamer Gregeois, whieh
was ordered to wait for him, was to take him on board,
and convey him to Tangiers. Now the aspect of af-
thin has completely changed. Just as we were ready.
too to press, we hear that a telegraphic dispatch, reL
Ceiired in Paris too late to be published in the Mee.!
.vager, 'announces a fact of the highest importance.
According to that dispatch; the Prince Di .TOINVILLE,
not deeming the propositions of peace acceptable, had
'icromenced the bombardment of Tangier, dismounted.
80 pieces of artillery planted on 'the ramparts, and de-
stroyed the fortifications erected by the Moors .on-the

Sea side."
• ,
The French Government were evidently prepared
for Such a result. Fir according to a letter in the
Semaphore of Marseilles, France has not had, since
the expedition against Algiers, in IB3o,,such a• naval
force on iheacoast ofAfrica. " BeforP the 15th
says a Correspondent of that Journal, ranee will
hare on the coast of Barbary eight shipi of the line
—one three-decker, the Suffren, commanded- by the
Prince Ds JOINVILLI,and a ,crew of 900 men ; the
Jemmapes, 917 men ; and the Triton, 810,- now
Aire-Tangiers; the Ocean, three-deoker, 1,017 Men ;
the Marengo, 679 Men ; the Inflexible, 853 men ; the
Neptune, 815'tnen ;' and the. Alger, 683 men, under
the command of Admiral Dascninuts, before Tunis.
We have, besides, a frigate, La Belle • Poule, several
steam frigates .and corvettes, a great „number o
'I-earners of - a - lesser power, transport corvettes,
likbters, and brigs. • •
The following letter. from. Tangiers, which appears
in a Toulon journal, describes the state of affairs at
Tangiers, on the 2d 'instant, four days before the
attack ; -
"We see the Moors every day exercising on the
coast their infantry, cavalry, and artillery, to the sound
of the lumtamv and with banners •unfurled. At night
they retire to their camp in the mountains. The town
seems to hate been abandoned by its inhabitants, who
have, sought refuge in a small wood in the neighbour-
hood, where they sleep under tents. During the night,
their fires indicate that that part of the coast ,which is
protected- by a small fort lately erected, is inhabited.
The forts and batteries offer an imposing aspect ; but
the toWn, situate,in a ravine on the verge of the sea, is
entirely open;- a teeble rampart surrounds it, and divides
it into two parts; the houses appear to be in a good state
of repair, and pretty regular. If we can judge from
appearances, the Moors do not intend to oppose a
vigorous resistance, but they are determined, as far as
we can' ascertain, to,prevent our landing, which would
defeat the object of our expedition, if their opposition
proved successful.
" On the Ist of August, at break of day, we saw bands
of between 150 and 200' Kabyles descend from the
mountains. They were all well armed, Ind accompanied
each by a few horsemen. They advanced to the :town
gates, with the intention evidently of plundering it, but
the people would not allow them to enter the place.
Each. band had a• flag, which was either a rallying
emblem,_ or the indication of the tribes to which they
belonged. We are daily expecting to receive orders to
commence hostilities, and every preparation has, been
made on board the ships for the attack."
Thursday, the day. of the Assumption, was observed
asa holiday at Paris, and the Bourse was' closed, but
It good deal of business was thine at Mit:roses. The

The leading weekly organ of the Anti-Corn-law.
League has an article entitled, " The League and
its advisers," 'which will be found in another column
of The Sun of this day—wherein the Chronicle and
one or two other journals are taken to task for having
presuMed to offer advice unsolicited to this great na-:
tional confederacy, and represented it as being in a
declining state of health. " The League is not con-
vinced,"-says our weekly Contemporary, " by. suck
testimony as has been offered,, of its own failing
strength and energy. We believe: ourselves to be as
vigorous as ever, and moving onwards with firth and
steady pace to the accomplishment of our object." The
League is right. It.is as vigorous as ever, anfl• the great
principle which it espouses is as influential as ever, if
not more so.- True, we have no more weekly CoVent-
garden meetings, but the .good spirit is still actively at
work ; and addresses, tracts, and lectures are every-
where contributing to enlighten the public mind,
Were the object which the League professes to have
in view a mere Utopian theory, like Mr. OWEN'a social
systems it might possibly, when once the novelty was
at an end, sink into insignificance; but the principles
which it advocates are practical- and business-like, and
every way fitted to meet the exigen'Cies of the day ; con
sequently there 'is no more likelihood of its declining
in publie estimation," than there is of Sir IL PEEL be-
coniing a memberbf Mr. O'CoigrasLis Repeal Associa-
, tion, or of Sir holding is his hand a private
letter of M; MAzzuses, without a wish to open it. In
truth, the League is to all intents and purposei a national
confederacy. It' gives- expression to the one great
want of this unrivalled commercial country. It
walks side by side with the age, of whose wishes it is
the recOgnised interpreter, and *repudiated, and. its
vast inoralinfluence denied, by none ;but the selfish,
ignorant, short-sighted partisans of monopoly—au
anti-national' class, whose power is rapidly on the
decrease, and whose theoriei must ere long be
gathered to the extinct. crotchets of other days. Already
has the League been acknowledged by a potent ad-
versary to be a " great fact," and, never, whilst
England continues to be the first commercial country
in the world, can it cease 'to be otherwise. We
can scarcely. imagine any concurrence of public
events but such as must tend to. keep it steadilyOn
the increase, for it represents the principle of common
sense—a principle which from its very nature is as
indestructible as the air we breathe—as the soul that
informs Us: But it is objected to the League, for-
sooth; that it will not' enlist under the banners of
Whiggery— will not accept Of Lord Joint' RussELL
as a Commander-in-Chief:but will pursue an inde-
pendent . course Of action, irrespective of, Whig and.
Tory parties ! And why should it not do so ? Why
should it allow either a Riisszrz or a PEEL to clap. a
muzzle on its mouth—to. dictate .to it how it
shall voter-,hoiv far it shall go—what it shall
say, and what it shall not say, in Parliament ? Its great
'excellence in the public eye is its independence—
its entire freedorn.of thought and action.; and were it
once to forfeit this by an injudicious submission to
either of the two contending political parties, from
that moment it would cease to be a.Power in the
country. The duty of the League is so obvious that
it is impossible to misapprehend or misinterpret it. It
hag nothing to do with' Whigs a! Tories, but is
bound to keep solely in view the great--the para-
mount question of free . trade. To this momentous
consideration every other must be held subordinate ;
and' that itatismanno matter to what party he
belongsinust he deemed most worthy of the support
of the League, 'who will do the most to emancipate
Commerce from the galling shackles with which she
has so long been manacled.

The- reported abdication of MEnaMET Au is not
confirmed by the latest intelligence from Malta. It
was known there on the 4th inst. that he had sud-
denly left Alexandria on the 26th of July for Cairo ;
and a report prevailed that he had resigned the power
into the hands of his son, but no particulars are given,
and we are, therefore, inclined to doubt the news
brought by
the French telegraph. The British
Consul at Alexandria had dispatched a Maltese sail-:
ing vessel to the senior naval officer at Beyrout, Cap-
tain GLASSCOCx, of the Tyne, to summon to
Alexandria every disposable British ship of
war. The PACHA,'S officers of gate, the diplo-
matic body, and public in general, are at a
loss to account for his sudden departure.
