ritANut AND MOROCCO.
(From the Times.)
We havebeen favoured; throukh our Paris Corre-
spohdent, with copies of the following important
dispatches, which will be found to elucidate much
that was but imperfectly understood while the trans-
actions to which they refer were in progress. The
first is from M. Guizot to M. de Nyon, the Plenipo-
tentiary of the King of France; and entail:ls the In-
structions iiptin which he was to act!,-=
m. GIIIZOT TO rcitot-r.
Paris, June 12, 1844.
Dispatches from General Lamoriciere; dated May,3o,
apprise us that en this same day he had been attacked
IVithin our frontier by a corps of 1,300 to 1,400 Moor-
ish cavalry, and from 500 to 600 Arabs ; but this ag-
gression was severely punished ; and as it occurred
without any provocation on our part, and without any
declaration of war, we trust we are not deceived in pre-
suming it to be a mere accident, and not an absolute
rupture ordered by the Emperor of Morocco. But we
have a right to complain of it, as being a signal viola-
tion of the rigkts of nations, and of the treaties by
virtue of which we are at peace with that empire.
You will, therefore, immediately, on the receipt of the
present, have to write to the Emperor, to make the
strongest representations against an attack which
nothing can warrant—to demand that satisfaction which
is due to us, especially the recal of the Moorish troops
collected in the neighbourhood of Ouchda—and to place
him in a situation to be compelled to explain what his
intentions are. Is it peatty or war which he seeks ? If,
acting in accordance with his real interest, he holds to
good terms with us, he must put an end to these arma-
ments which are threatening Algeria, respect neutrality
by withdrawing all support from Abd-el-Kader, and
forthwith give the strictest order to prevent a recurrence
of the past. If he desires war, we are far from desiring
it ; we should indeed sincerely regret it, but we do not
fear it, and if we are compelled to fight we shall be found
ready to do so with vigour, with the confidence founded
on a just cause, and so as to make the aggressors repent.
I, however, repeat it, we ask no more than to remain on
friendly terms with the Emperor of Morocco, and we
firmly believe that he is not the less interested in keeping
up the same relations with us.
I advised you by my last dispatch that ships of war
were about to be sent to cruise on the coast of
Morocco. A division, under the command of his
Royal Highness the Prince de Joinville, consisting
of the Suffren, of the steam-frigate Asmodie, and
of another steam ship, is about to sail thither, first
touching at Oran, where his Royal Highness will put
himself in comrnunicotion with Marshal Bugeaud. The
Prince will also have to be in communication with you ;
and I have no doubt of your readiness to place yourself
at his disposal, and to give him all the assistance in your
power. Nevertheless the instructions to his Royal
Highness are pacific, founded on this—that war is not
declared between France and Morocco. His presence off
the coast of that empire, at the head of a naval force, is
more with a view of imposing and restraining than that
of threatening. Let us flatter ourselves that it will in
this respect produce a salutary effect.
P.S. This is how I sum up your instructions. You
will require of the Emperor of Morocco-
1. The disavowal of the inconceivable aggression com-
mitted by the Moors upon our territory.
2. The breaking up of the corps of troops collected at
Ouchda, on our frontier.
3. The recal of the Caid of Ouchda, and of the other
agents who have provoked the aggression.
4. The expulsion of Abd-el-Kader from the Morocco
territory.
You will close by repeating-
1. That most certainly we have not any intention of
taking an inch of the Morocco territory, and that we are
only desirous of living in peace and on friendly terms
with the Emperor.
2. But that we shall not suffer that Morocco becomes
for Abd-el-Kader a place of inviolable refuge, whence
aggressions such as that which has taken place may pour
forth ; and that if the Emperor does not himself do that
which is necessary to prevent them, we shall signally
avenge ourselves.
It will be seen by the following dispatch to M. de
Nyon, with whom the Duke de Glucksberg was by
this time associated, that M. Guizot contented him-
self with renewing these instructions after the suc-
cessful attacks upon Tangiers and Mogadore had given
him the means of extorting more favourable terms
from the Moors :

DR. CROLLY'S LETTtR TO
MR. (3.CONNELL.
The following is a translation of the brief of the
Papal •SZe to the Roman Catholic Primate of all
Ireland, on the subject of the recent political agita-
tion in that country ; the original appears in Dr.
Crolly's letter to Mr. O'Connell in our first page :
"It will be assuredly in your Grace's recollection
that a letter was forwarded to you from this sacred
congregation on the 12th of March, 1839, strongly
urging your Grace, on the part of our holy father
Gregory 16th, to whom it had been represented that
one or two prelates and some ecclesiastics of that king-
dom had mixed themselves up too much with political
affairs, and had harangued the people on the state of the
commonwealth, should each report prove correct, care-
fully to suggest to them the propriety of altering their
conduct and adopting a demeanour more becoming their
sacred ministry. Undoubtedly the sacred congregation
trusts that you have used everymeans in your power, and
all that earnestness which the importance of the matter re-
quired, and which your devotedness to the Apostolic
See led to expect; neverthele'ss, that the desired result
has not followed your earnest efforts is apparent, parti-
cularly from the public journals of those countries
where speeches are published as spoken of late by some
members of the clerical, some even of the episcopal
order, both at meetings and at banquets, nay, even
in temples of God, before a concourse of people,
which speeches, if correctly reported, are far from
showing that the speakers are, as they ought to be, ex-
clusively devoted to the salvation of souls, the good
of religion, and the honour of God, and, consequently,
utterly adverse from the pursuits of political faction
and the turmoils of the world. It is not to be concealed
that such results have been most distressing to this
sacred congregation and to his Holiness himself, be-
cause they tend to the detriment and disgrace of the
universal church ; and they create a feeling specially
prejudicial to the Holy See itself, inasmuch as it would
seem to be unmindful of imparting salutary coun-
cils to the clergy in question, or was favourable to
the views and projects above described, or con-
nived, in any form, at their promulgation ; and
in reality your Grace is not, perhaps, aware that
such complaints, or rather accusations, have actually
found utterance, as the Holy See, by sad expe-
rience, can sorrowfully attest. And for these mo-
tives the sacred congregation hastens, at the command
of his Holiness himself, to address you again on
this most important subject. You are, most Illus-
trious Prelate, fully cognisant of the mature and cha-
racter of ecclesiastical functions ; how far it is becom-
ing—how far it is of vital importance to the safety
of religion, that those who are engaged in holy
orders, the ministers of the Prince of Peace, the dispen-
sers of the mysteries of God—men especially
placed over the faithful for their spiritual guidance,
should avoid mixing themselves up with secular
affairs—should assiduously foster among the people a
spirit of quietness, calm, and peace, which is the bond
of Christianity, should inculcate by word and example a
due obedience to temporal power in all matters of civil
life, and thus exhibiting a decided moderation and
prudence, content to preach Christ alone and him cruci-
fied—should studiously keep aloof from whatever was
calculated in the least to disturb the flock confided
to their care, or lead it astray from the mildness of
the Gospel law. Such is and ever has been the
doctrine of the Catholic Church, which the Apos-
tolic See has, mindful of its sacred office, never
ceased to bold, and on every occasion to promulgate.
It will be your Grace's duty to adopt this line
of conduct, and, by propounding at every fitting
opportunity these sentiments of the sacred congrega-
tion and his Holiness on this most important subject, to
admonish such ecclesiastics, and especially of the epis-
copal order, as may deviate from the prescribed conduct,
with all patience and charity, but yet efficiently. Con-
fiding these matters to your well-established prudence
and zeal, I take leave to express the personal considera-
tion in which I hold your Grace, praying God to give you
every blessing.
" Rome, from the Palace of the Propaganda, Oct. 15,
1644.

Paris, August 30, 1844.
Gentlemen,—The signal victories which our land and
sea forces have obtained in the contest between us and
the Government of Morocco have caused no change in
the intentions which the King's Government had mani-
fested before the commencement of that contest. What
we then demanded as the necessary condition for the
re-establishment of amicable relations between the two
states, and as the sole guarantee sufficient to re-assure
us against the return of incidents which have disturbed
those relations, we now demand again, without making
any addition to them, because the object we proposed
remains the same, and no view of aggrandisement is
joined with our determination not to suffer the rights
and dignity of France to be disregarded.
That the extraordinary assemblages of Moorish troops
formed on our frontiers in the environs of Ouchda shall
be immediately dispersed.
That an exemplary chastisement be inflicted on the
authors of the aggressions committed on our territory
since the 30th of May.
That Abd-el-Kader be expelled from the Moorish ter-
ritory, and that he shall not hereafter receive any sup-
port or assistance of any kind.
In fine, that a complete and regular boundary between
Algeria and Morocco be agreed on and concluded, con-
formably to the position acknowledged by the Emperor
of Morocco himself, at the domination of the period of
the Turks at Algiers.
Nothing then can prevent the establishment of peace.
The Court of Morocco, after all the injury it has caused
us, does not perhaps expect so much moderation on our
part. In order to give it a remarkable proof of that
moderation, and in order to afford it as opportunity to
reply by accepting our proposals forthwith, the King
commands you, gentlemen, to proceed to Tangiers on
board one of the ships of our squadron, and to cause
to be forwarded to the authorities of that place a letter
addressed to the Emperor, in which you will announce to
him that if he accepts purely and simply the conditions
of our ultimatum to which I have referred, you are still
authorised to treat on that basis.
It is to be well understood that this proceeding is not
to have the effect of suspending hostilities, sad that our
land and sea forces shall be free to continue their ope-
rations until the Emperor shall have accepted our offers.
It is likewise to be understood that the negotiator who
may be dispatched to us to communicate the Emperor's
adhesion should proceed on board one of our ships,
and that there the arrangements should be signed
to which the negotiations may give rise, and that under
no circumstances should you set foot on land to meet the
Moorish negotiator.
The Minister of Marine writes this day to his Royal
Highness the Prince de Joinville to inform him of the
course which is prescribed for you, and to assist in its
execution by placing a ship at your disposal.
Receive, Gentlemen, &C.

de Glucksberg to M. Guizot :•

Pam, at 20 to 1. The Cobweb colt was once more in
favour, the highest bidding in any part of the afternoon
being 20 to 1 ; these odds were taken to about 40/., but
were subsequently offered. Ai nandale was backed
freely at 1,000 to 35, Weatherbit and Old England at
1,01,0 to 30 each, the Laird o' Coekpen at 35 to 1, and
Connaught Ranger (who is expected in England on
Thursday) freely at 50 to 1.

Suffren, Tangiers-roads, Sept. 10, 1844.
Nine o'clock in the Afternoon.
Sir,—We arrived this morning in Tangiers-roads. M.
de Martino came on board immediately, and informed us
that considerable impatience prevailed in the city, and that
Sidi Bousselam was waiting with anxiety our arrival, and
the communication we had to make to him. He likewise
announced to us, that we were about to receive a visit from
the Governor of the town, the Caid Ben Abbou. He, in
fact, went for him, and he came on board the Suffren,
accompanied by the Captain of the Port. Ben Abbou
repeated to his Royal Highness that the Emperor of
Morocco expected peace from him, and that his pleni-
potentiary, Bousselam, was ready to sign it. He with-
drew evidently flattered at the reception given to him.
A few minutes afterwards M. Warnier proceeded to the
Pacha, bearing the convention arranged between us and
approved by the Prince de Joinville, and of which your
Excellency will find hereto annexed a copy. The in-
structions given to M. Warnier were, to see the Pacha
and to demand of him, without permitting or entering
into any discussion, whether he was ready, by virtue
of the full powers he held from the Emperor, to
affix his signature to a convention. The reply of
the Pacha was affirmative. We were apprised of
this by a signal, and we immediately proceeded to
land where the consular body at Tangiers were
waiting to receive us. We were likewise received
by the Governor of the town and by a guard of honour,
by whom we were conducted to the Cashel, where
we were introduced to Bousselam in the imperial apart-
ment. He was attended by the chief director of the
Custom .house, a person who performed a political part
of some importance during the late events. After having
exchanged some compliments, we asked the Pacha if he
were in fact disposed to sign the treaty which we had
submitted to him. lie desired some explanations as to
the nature of the engagement which the 7th article im-
posed on his Government, and appeared satisfied with
our replies. On our part, we insisted on the urgency of
the measures relative to the delineation of the boundaries,
of which the principle is laid down in the sth article of
the convention, and we reminded him of the stipulations
relative to the evacuation of the island of Mogadore,
dictated by the kindness and generosity of his Royal
highness, and we signified to him that as soon as the
mvention should be signed, the consulate should be
reinstalled, and the functions of it intrusted to M. Mau-
houssin, until the exchange of the ratifications. It was
then agreed that as soon as the French flag should be
hoisted on the Consular building, it should be saluted
with 21 guns from the town, and that the admiral's ship
.ihonld return the salute. We then proceeded to sign
the convention. One copy in French, and another in
Arabic, duly signed and sealed, remained in the hands
if Sidi Bousselam. Two others are to be brought to
Paris by the Duke de Glucksberg, who thinks it neces-
iary to take the orders of your Excellency relative to
the new missioa with which he is charged. This mis-
sion will moreover be retarded by the delay in forward-
ing the orders of the Emperor.
We trust, Sir, that our conduct will obtain the appro-
bation of the King and of his Government. It is true
that we have not strictly confined ourselves to the exe-
cution of the orders of your Excellency, but, directed
by the counsels and encouraged by the approbation of
the Prince de Joiuville, we considered that whilst we
2arefully preserved throughout the affair the character
which our instructions conveyed to us, it was permitted
us to endeavour to strengthen every stipulation, and
particularly that which relates to Adb-el-Kader, with
all the guarantees necessary to render them as efficacious
as possible. Our first idea was to stipulate for a 'pecu-
niary indemnity for the French who experienced losses
in consequence of the war or of the previous act ;of the
Moorish. Government ; but we were restrained by the
fear of compromising by this exigency the success pi a I

SCOTCH BANKlNG.—Yesterday afternoon (Friday)
petitions to both Houses of Parliament against any in-
terference with the present excellent system of Scotch
banking, were laid down at the bar of the Royal Ex-
change, and numerously and respectably subscribed.
This is as it should be.—Scotch Reformers' (Glasgow)
Gazette.

The French have embarked in a curious enterprise
for the destruction of rats, operations having already
commenced at the Royal Library in Rue Richelieu. In
the short space of three days more than 1,200 rats were
taken, and the pin poses to which the bodies are con-
verted are these :—The skin is prepared with great care,
and proves of great value as a fur. The carcass, properly
speaking, is sent to a melting-house at Grenelle, where
it is boiled down for the sake of the grease, which is
found to be an excellent material for the manufacture of
candles. The flesh that remains of the animal is sold
for the nutriment of birds, ducks, and pigs. The leg
and thigh bones, moreover, which are described as being
as fine as ivory, are employed in the manufacture of ear
and tooth picks, so that it is observed not a particle of it
is wasted.

LARGE IMPORTATION OF VENEZUELAN SUGAR.—
The recent decision as to the admission of Venezuelan
sugar into this country, upon the most favoured terms,
is now well known the mercantile interest. Hitherto,
however, there has been no large importations of it but
on Friday a cargo of about 300 tons arrived in the brig,
