but lam still more pleased with diplomacy. The army
has given me a glory, which it has paid for with its
blood ; but what is glory ? A little smoke, and what is
still worse, a means of displeasing Sir Robert Peel.
Diplomacy has procured me peace, a peace that will give
umbrage to no Cabinet : a result which I always desired.
May God grant me the maintenance of peace ! Soldiers!
I allow you to fall upon the Arabs, and exercise your
courage against the people of Morocco, who should invade
our territory, provided, however, the English do not take
offence at it. You had a right to conquer at Isly and
seize on Mogadore, it being my determination not to
avail myself of your victory, nor to retain your conquest.
Marshal Bugeaud may plan your battles, provided Mr.
Bulwer regulates the condition of peace. Do not conse-
quently suffer yourself to become intoxicated by the
smell of gunpowder ; or imagine that we are serious
a hen you hear the report of cannon. We maintain an
army of 340,000 men, because we want patrols to keep
order in France, and because the sight of uniforms and
the spectacle of military manoeuvres are princely sports.
We are playing a game of soldiers, but we entertain no
idea of making use of them. Sleep quietly in your gar-
rison towns; we shall never want you for any great war;
we have promised it to all those coalesced kings who are
•till trembling at the recollection of Marengo, Jena, and
Austerlitz. There is no advantage in making war, even
when a nation has attained the object for which it has
fought, because ultimately the losses are always greater
than the gains. I hold war to be a malediction."

The preparations for the KING'S journey to Eng,
land were carried on with great activity.

The Elau steamer had arrived at Havre from
Cherbourg, where it was to take on board the cases
containing chrystal and Sevres china which the King
of the FRENCH is to present to Queen VICTORIA.
The squadron was in readiness, and after a trial trip
to Dieppe, with Admiral LA SUSSE on board, had
returned to Cherbourg.
Letters from Cadiz of the 18th state that the
Prince DE JOINVILLE was still in the harbour on that
day, and was not expected to leave for Toulon before
the 23d. The vessels sent to bring away the garrison
of the island of Mogadore had not yet returned to
Cadiz, with the exception of the Pluton steamer,
which reached on the 17th with a company of grena-
diers of the 3d Ilegitnent- of Marines, which had
formed part of the garrison.
We find the following in the Toulonnais of the 24th

" A few days before the conclusion of the treaty of
Tangiers, we were in a full state of war. The steam
corvette Veloce arrived suddenly at Tangiers, where the
Prince of Joinville and a large part of the squadron were
drawn up, and announced that the Moors were repairing
the fortifications of Mogadore, and were hastilAarming a
battery which might do great damage to thesrnall vessels
left to protect the garrison on the island. Some cannon
shot had already been fired. Orders had at once been
given for the Triton and the Belle Poule to dismantle the
Moorish battery, and they were ordered to send some
troops on . shore to spike the guns ; but peace having
been signed, the Pluton was seat off in all haste for Mo-
gadore, and carried orders for the Triton and Belle Poule
to do nothing against the fortifications of Mogadore, and
for the garrison to evacuate the island forthwith."

THIS DAY'S NEWS

BOROUGH OF SOUTHWARK RE.
GISTRATION._(THIS DIY.)
The revision of the list of voters for the opulent and
extensive borough of Southwark was commenced this
morning at the Town-hall, by S. C. C. Fish, Esq., the
barrister appointed for that purpose.
On the Revising Barrister taking his scat, the over-
seers of the various parishes delivered in lists of persons
entitled to vote in their respective districts.
The revision ofi the lists was then proceeded with.
Several persons who had claimed had theirs disallowed, as
they did not appear to substantiate them.
The REVISING BARRISTER said that persons who had
claimed to have their names placed on the register must
appear before.him, to make out their qualifications, other-
wise they would be disallowed.
Mr. Sydney Smith, who appeared on behalf of the
free-trade interest, said the Revising Barrister was em-
powered to call upon the overseers, in the absence of
claimants, to prove from documents in their possession
that they (the claimants) were properly qualified to vote
for Members of Parliament.
The REVISING BARRISTER said if persons who claimed
did not attend to make out their qualifications, he did not
think he should be justified in calling upon the overseers
to do so, as their duties were sufficiently onerous, and
they ought not to be put to additional trouble by the
negligence of claimants.
John Coventry claimed in respect of a portion of a
house, situated at No. 6, Waterloo-place, in which he
had resided for 19 years, and for which he paid a weekly
rent of Bs.
Mr. Sydney Smith, who supported the claim, made an
observation concerning the duty of the overseers, in re-
spect to proving the sums for which persons wore rated.
The REVISING-BARRISTER (with warmth)—_W hat are
you, Sir—in what capacity do you appear here ?
Mr. Sydney Smith said he attended as an agent to
support certain claims.
After some further discussion the claim was allowed.
The claim of a person named Peter Taylor was dis-
allowed, because the rates had not been paid.
The landlord of the house had been in the habit of
paying the rates, but in this instance he had not paid
them within the time required by the Act of Parliament.
In the revision of the list of voters for St. George the
Martyr, the name of Nathaniel Nichols, of Bethlehem
Hospital. was objected to by a Mr. Matthews, as net
being duly qualified. His name, and the names of the
Rev. James Garrett, the chaplain of the institution, and
John Thomas, who holds a situation in it, were struck
out.

The rovision then terminated. There were very few
claims and objections, and none of them involved any
point of interest.

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)
A man named James Heeley, and two women uained
Jane and Mary Harrington, were brought before Mr.
Jardine charged with assaulting three officers of the F

It appeared that the prisoners were drinking together
in a public-house in Drury-lane, at about twelve o'clock.
They became very noisy, and a policeman was called in
to put them out. As soon as the officer went in, the
prisoners fell upon him, knocked him down
and kicked
him when he was down, and a regular riot took place.
Two other policemen were called in, and the prisoners
fell upon them also; the female prisoners scratched their
faces. After a great deal of noise and confusion, the
officers succeeded in taking the prisoners into 'custody,
but on the road to the station-house they kicked at the
officers and behaved in the most violent manner.
The prisoners in their defence said the policemen
struck them first, and tore their clothes, and therefore
they felt justified in resisting them.
Mr. JARDINE said these assaults were becoming very
common, and he should, therefore, sentence the prisoners
to one month's imprisonment each.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
(THIS DAY-)
James Thompson, a venerable-looking grey-haired
man, between, sixty-five and seventy years of age, de-
scribed in the police charge-sheet as " A mate of an
Indiaman, living at No. 4. Queen-street, Chelsea," was
charged on suspicion of having committed the follow-
ing robberies, at the Pantheon Bazaar :
Yesterday afternoon between five and six o'clock, a
female attendant at the counter of Mr. George Sturgis,
heard a rustling amongst some of the goods displayed
for sale, and on going to the spot found that a tea-caddy
had been displaced, and that the sugar basin (cut glass,
value 55.) had been taken out of it. At the instant she
perceived the prisoner entering in a hurried and con-
fused manner a private room, from which there was no
other outlet, she ran and locked the door upon him, until she
could call to her assistance one of the constables of the es-
tablishment, on which the prisoner was given into custody,
and the stolen sugar-basin was found in'a pail of water,
standing in a corner of the room. He was taken to
Vine-street station-house, and in the cell he was con-
fined in were found two plated liquor-flasks, covered with
stolenv'ie e r

The prisoner said he had !seen fifty'-five years in the
Royal Navy, and his connections were high. his head
was, however, in a very disordvrd state, arising from
domestic afflictions ; his wife w ow on her death-bed.
At intervals he was not aware of what he was doing.
Inspector Aggs, of the C division, said that he had no
doubt but that he should be able to prove that the pri-
soner was a notorious shoplifter, and had been convicted
of that offence at the Central Criminal Court.—He was
remanded until Saturday next.
A gentleman present said that the prisoner's account
of himself was correct.

CLERKENWELL.—(TIIIS DAY.)
A powerfully built man, named Charles Harding, was
charged with the following outrageous conduct :
It appeared from the evidence, that on the previous
day, the prisoner knocked a man down in Kenton-street,
Brunswick-Nuare. Police-constable Holder, 110 E, at
the instance of the aggrieved party, took him into cus-
tody. When locked up in the cell, the prisoner tore
