failed in their allegiance. The 700 men embarked at 'Port
Vendres, on board the Labrador, are the first troops which
have arrived at Oran from France. Their arrival has pro-
duced the best effect, and will contribute to main-
tain the fidelity
_of the tribes- which as yet have
not revolted." The intelligence conveyed in this dis-
patch is considered highly unsatisfactory. The French
troops, though said to amount to 80,000 men, and scattered
over a vast extent of territory; probably one-third of them
are invalided ; and numerous small divisions are thus exposed
to the sudden attacks ofABD-XL-KADER'S troops. Even the
Government paper, from which we have quoted, takes rather
a gloomy view of the present position of the army. " The
announced defection," it says, "of the three tribes in the
environs of Oran is, indeed, bad news. The minds of the
Arabs have been worked upon by assurances from the
agents of ABD-EL-KADER that the reign of the infidels
was at an end. They have taken part in the general
movement, and reliance can be no longer placed on
the fidelity or even the neutrality of the tribes.
But we have now many advantages in our favour, which, at
the beginning were wanting to us, for we have roads, towns,
fortified camps, and points on the coast, where we can land
troops without interruption ; in fine, we haVe become :per-
fectly acquainted with the topography of the whole country,
and the greater portion of our troops are well practised in the
species of warfare they have to carry on. We cannot fail in
the end to gain once more our object. As to the amount of
80,000 men, we may observe that this is the number of the
effective force, and there should be deducted from the active
force many non-combatants who are reckoned in the total;
that all the corps have a small depot in each of the towns of
Algeria; that the men in the hospitals are comprised in the
effective, and that the army is spread about in three wide
provinces, occupying a great many towns, fortified camps, and
posts stationed on the roads. It may, therefore, be easily
conceived that the number of the moveable columns is ne-
cessarily restricted."
Accounts from Algiers announce that Marshal BUGEAUD
had commenced operations, and was on his way to put down
the rebellious tribes. The Moniteur Algerien states that on the
18th inst. the Governor- General, attended by his Aides-de-
Camp and orderly officers, left Algiers for Milianah to place
himself at the head of a column of 4,000 men collected
there for the purpose of acting to theeast of Oran. Colonel
EYNARD, the Marshal s first Aide-de-Camp,:arrived:at Algiers
on the 17th. M. GARNIER PAGES, the Deputy, arrived also
at Algiers on the same day. The Akbar announces, that it
had received intelligence that General CAVAIGNAC had made
a razzia on the tribe in which Commandant Brum. and
Lieutanant DE DOMBASLE, and their escort of five hussars,
were so barbarously murdered. Before starting, however,
the eccentric Marshal had been busily engaged in issuing
proclamations and addresses, among others one to Ake Arabs
and Kabyles, in which we find these curious phrases:
" It appears that the demon of madness has possessed the minds
of some among you. Driven by the Incessant, instigations of a
chief, whose ambition takes no account of either your repose, your
welfare, or even your lives, a great many of your tribes have risen
in revolt against the authority of the King of the French, without
any rational hope of attaining their object. Can they believe that
France, who counts millions of warriors, would leave the victory in
their hands, were it possible, as it is not, they should gain a
conquest over those who are now in Algeria! This is a great error
in them. Armies much more formidable than the first would
quickly come over, and the only final result would be the total de-
struction of the Arab race. In latter days, have we not ruled and
directed you with the mildness and favour as we have treated the
French. If you cannot feel this, and prefer to this paternal go-
vernment the cruel tyranny of Abd-el-Kader, it must be because
the light of God has been withdrawn from you. You can have no
one to blame but yourselves for the ills you bring down upon you.
lam come with a second army. I will not leave the smallest
corner of the rebellious parts of the country unexplored, pursuing
the revolted tribes to wherever they may retreat, and, if they per-
sist in not returning to their lands in perfect submission, I will
banish them for ever from Algeria, and bring other people to fill
their places."

THEATRE ROYAL, HAYMARKET.
THIS EVENING

On Saturday evening the King of the FRENCII received
the Austrian Ambassador, Lord BROUGHAM, and General
SEBASTIAN!. The :Courrier de Marseilles states that Mr.
LEADER, the Member for Westminster, is waiting at Cannes
the arrival of Lord BROUGHAM, who was expected in a few
days. _ _

According to a letter from Toulon of the 23d, the report of
the squadron, under the orders of Admiral PARSEVAL DES-
CRENES, having been ordered to proceed from Algiet s to the
coast of Morocco, was unfounded. This squadron is now
stated to have been on the 15th off Cagliari, in Sardinia.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS
CIT Y, QUARTER TO THREE.
There was but little doing in Cotton at Liverpool yester-
day. Sales, 2,000; bales, all to the trade, and without any
change in prices. There was a butter feeling in the Share-
market, which was firmer and more healthy, and prices in
some instances advanced.
When a question has to be discussed involving the inte-
rests of hundreds of well-concocted schemes for railway
extension, and the probeble future employment of thousands
of our fellow-creatures spay be concerned, it is of the most
material importance that truth should be the basis of public
'writers. And if to bolster up a case there is an absence of
that most important ingredient, the public are fairly entitled
to distrust any such authorities. Our contemporary the Times,in
its City article to-day, states—" None of the Companies stand
in a much better position (alluding to railways generally)
than the Great Western, yet the fact is, that a purchaser of
10 shares in its stock 12 months ago would be now, at least,
1,0001. the poorer." Now, thisis not the fact, as those who
bought Great Western Shares 12 months ago have been
large gainers by a rising market almost continuously. And
what is the difference in the prices since the Bank notice
came out? from 162 to 145—a loss upon 10 shares of about
170/., the largest reduction that has occurred in this species
of property for many years. In truth the Railway Share
Mat ket has rallied considerably, and the state of public
confidence has most materially rallied also.
On the 29th October, 1844, Great Western Shares were
61 to
.62 premium. On the 16th inst., when the Bank
notice came out, they were 81 to 83 premium. Yesterday
they were 65 to 70 premium. It is true there have been
great intermediate fluctuations, but these only affect the
speculator in the same manner as the variation in the funds,
many holders of which do not sell out for years together.
In what respect, then, is railway property less secure or eli-
gible, as an investment, than stock, and which would be
safest or most profitable in war time?
There are papers of June 21 from Sydney, and June 12
from Port Philip. Matters were progressing very favourably,
and trade was brisk.
The Funds have been firm again to-day, with a fair busi-
ness doing. Consols are 96% to 97 for present Transfer, and
9634 to 97% for Account. Exchequer Bills have been 41s.
to 38s. premium ; New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are
973/ to 98%.
The Foreign Bonds have been rather higher. Spanish Five
per Cents. are 26 to 2614 ; the Three per Cents., 36 to 3714 ;
Portuguese Four per Cents. 56 to 5714 ; Mexican, 30%;
Chilian, 99 ; and Brazilian, 80.
The Share Market is very quiet to-day, but looks well, and,
in many cases, there is an improvement.
