London, England, 1845-10-10 00:00:00

Nearly all the Paris papers contain articles on the late dis-
asters in Africa, and the measures ad opted by the KING in
Council for pursuing ABD-EL-KADER wherever he is to be
found. The opinions on this latter subject expressed by the
Journal des Debats we published yesterday. The Epoque,
the other Government journal, has also an article in a similar
style, announcing that the restless enemy of the French will
not be allowed to escape with impunity, even within the
frontiers of Morocco. NLthing can be said against this; if
the EMPEROR cannot prevent the enemies of France from
taking shelter in his dominions, and issuing out when it suits
their purpose, he must take the consequence. This sort
of game the English Government submitted to with
most astonishing patience when the Canadian insurgents
and the American sympathisers made so many incursions
upon the inhabitants within the Canadian frontier. The
comments of the Paris Opposition journals are not at all
favourable to the policy of the Government, though they in
general approve of the determination to take vengeance on
ABD-EL-KADER, by dispatching an additional body of troops.
They all complain, however, that no official dispatches
of the deplorable events have yet been published. The
Constitutionnel, after attributing all these which have lately
occurred to the treaties of Tangiers and Lalla Magheria, says :
—" We must now repair the disaster, and destroy by a signal
vengeance the moral effect of the transitory triumph of ABD-
EL-KADER. Under these grave circumstances we will not say
a word concerning Marshal BUGEAUD or General DE LAM°.
RICIERE which shall not be an expresaien of confidence in
these brave officers and the troops under their command.
We shall see what use will be made of the reinforcements
that are to be sent to Oran. For a year past
enormous errors, having sanginuary results, have
been committed. We must at least have the
courage to permit our troops to repair them." The Commerce
takes a more gloomy view of the state of affairs. " There is
not a single bulletin of victory in which the Duke D' Ism?
has not announced the definitive submission of the Arabs,
and the pacification of Algeria; and yet insurrections do not
cease succeeding each other, and the whole is to be recom-
menced each time. He represented, some weeks back, the
horrible execution of the Dahra as being of a nature to put
an end to insurrections, by striking the tribes with astonish-
ment, and now a new taking up of arms again contradicts
his anticipations; far from terrifying the Arabs, these cruel-
ties only excite them to vengeance, and the massacre of M.
MONTAGNAC'S troops is, perhaps, only an act of reprisal.
Colonization gets on no better than war; the Government is
for one system, and M. BUGEUAD fur another. During all
this time nothing has been done, and throughout this vast
territory we scarcely reckon six thousand colonists."
" Thus, then," exclaims the Courrier Francais, " 100,000
of tried troops are no longer sufficient to maintain tran-
quillity in Africa. To our former sacrifices new ones must be
added, and eight regiments must be sent to our fine and va
liant army of Africa. See what the fatal treaty of Morocco
has bronght us to." The National is in a towering
passion against both GUIZOT and BUGEAUD. " Either the
Ministry," says that journal, " has lost its senses
or the situation of our affairs in Africa is far graver than the
facts now known represent it. In order for it to be thought
indispensable to augment with eight regiments the army o
Africs, already so numerous, and to send in all haste M. Bu-
GEAUD to his Government, our power must necessarily be
threatened with some very formidable peril. What,
then, is really going on? Has ABD-EL-KADER dethroned
MULEY ABDERRIIAMAN ? Does he dispose at present
with full authority cf all the forces of Morocco ?
Or has the Moor, aware by the events of last year that
France may be laughed at with impunity, again lent to the
Emir the open aid of the forces of the empire ? If sugh be
the case, why is the Ministry so unaccountably silent ?
Here it has been aware for some days of this information,
and it has communicated nothing of it to the country. And
to reduce a chief of same roving band., who for five years hat.
escaped from all pursuit, an army is placed in BUGEAUD'S
hands four times more considerable than the army of Italy
under BONAPARTE. Truly it appears that after having ex-
aggerated the shame, these folks still want to exaggerate the
ridicule of the matter."

A grand concert was to have taken plaCe on Tuesday
evening, at the Tuileries, but, in consequence Of the disastrou,
news from Algeria, it bad been countermanded.
The following are other extracts from the papers:—

" The Abbe Ronge, accompanied by his brother and some
preachers of the German Catholic Church, arrived at Frankfort on
the 4th. and was received with enthusiasm. On his way to Frank.
fort he was received with acclamations by the people of Worms ;
and in some other places the inhabitants received him with the same
demenstrationssas if he had been a sovereign.
"Don Carlos and the Princess de Beira left Marseilles for Italy
on Thursdayntorning. Although they started at an early hour.
several Spaniards of the Carlist party were in waiting to pay their
respects to the royal e.oles.
" We learn from St. Petersburgh that the Emperor of Russia, as
another mark of his satisfaction at the bravery and skill of Prince
Woronzow, has given him the command of a regiment of hussars,
which is in future to bear his name.
" Count de Cancrin, formerly Minister of Finance in Russia, died
at Paulosh last month, after a short malady.
" The Privileged Gazetieof Bologna, of the 29th ult., announces
that the Pontificaltroops re-entered Rimini at eleven o'clock in the
morning of the 27th ult., the insurgents having either embarked or
fled into the mountains on their approach. The accounts re-
ceived this morning at Bologna,' adds the Gazette, state. that
the rebels dispersed in the mountains had been overtaken by the
Swiss troops, the carabineers, and the Custom-house officers on the
side of Baize, in the legation of Ravenna, where they were routed
with the loss of some killed and wounded. In the meantime.
another band was met by the carabineers and the Pontifical volun-
trees, and the Custom-house officers at Badi, in the legation or
Bologna, and 14 revolters were disarmed and made prisoners by
the loyal troops.'
" The liamburgh Gazette states, from Riga, that the cholera
has appeared in Livonia, and caused many deaths.
" M. Chesnau, banker and mayor of Montoire, has just been
condemned by the Court of Assizes, Vendome to a year's im-
prisonment, and a fine of 14,000 f. to the parties clines, as
guilty of simple bankruptcy. His debts amounted to 1,9.00,000 f..
and his assets to 400,000 f. Several families have been involved in
ruin by this failure."

CHRISTENING OF TILE EARL OF HILLSBOROUGH.—
Thil ceremony took place on Sunday, 21st of September last, in
Hillsborough church, during the morning service, and was per-
formed by the Venerable Walter Mant, archdeacon of Down—
the infant having been baptised, soon after his birth, in London,
on the 24th of December preceding. The christening took place
in the centre of the church, before a very large congregation.
The names given to the young Earl were, Arthur Wills Blundell
Trumbull Sandra Roden. His godfathers are, Lord Sandys and
the Earl of Roden ; the Honourable Meloria Cotton representing
the Lady Harriot Clive, his godmother. There were present, in
addition, the Earls of Roden and Enniskillen ; the Viscount Com.
bermere, and the Honourable Meloris Cotton, father and sister to
the Marchioness, who, with Lord Sandys, arrived from England
on the previous Friday.—Newry Telcgraph.
DOVER, OCT. 7.—Their Imperial Highnesses the
Prince and Princess Peter of Oldenbourg, with their family
and suite, arrived at two o'clock this day, by the South-
Eastern Railway, en route for Italy, and, after partaking of
some refreshment at the Ship Hotel, embarked on board the
Princess Mary steamer Captain Paul, which vessel had been
txpressly engaged for their conveyance to Calais. They had
fair wind and doe weather, and would probably make the
dassage in less than two hours.
PRIZE MONEY.—Notice is hereby given to the
officers and company cf her Majesty's ship Dolphin, that, on
the 15th instant, they will be paid their proportions of the
county money received for the Carolina; and the shares will
be recalled every Wednesday and Thursday for three months

Monday the cold has continued, the thermometer ranging from
42 to 46. The weather has been dry and breezy, however, and
so far favourable for cutting down that portion of the crop already
ripe, and although it has not ripened in the proper sense of the word
he later crops, it has to some extent deadened them, and so far
:irepartd them for the sickle. The gre:..t bulk—indeed almost the
whole crop in this neighbourhood has been cut down, and much of
it secured. In the higher but not the latest district', a good deal
has been atooked, but a very small proportion transferred to the
.tackyard. In the latest corn-growing districts there will be no
teneral harvest for ten or fourteen days. In these circumstances,
it so advanced a period of the season, more or less of disaster may
almost certainly be looked for; and in any event it is to be feared
that the present prices will at least be maintained.--Caledonian
Mercury of Thursday.
THE THOROUGHFARE-PHOBIA.—A new disease has
within the last few months become very prevalent in the metro-
polis : and as no name has yet been given to it, we honour it with
the appellation of the Thoroughfare-phobia. It consists of a very
zangerous stoppage, preventing the free circulation of the blood of
commerce through the veins and arteries of the metropolis.
Fleet-street has been seized in this shocking way several times
Airing the present year; and Piccadilly, which we thought had
just got over a very long attack, has suffered a serious relapse
within the last week or two. We really begin to tremble for the
very existence of the City, when we see these awful symptoms of
a general breaking-up beginning to show themselves in all
quarters of the metropolis. If the suburban roads, which ate
called the lungs of London, should betaken in the someway, suffo-
cation would be the Inevitable censequence.—Punch.
