LONDON. MONDAY, JULY 21, 1845.

A communication which appeared in the Madrid
Mould° (a
.jlirnal published at Algiers), compels us to
recur to the atrocity committed by order of
Colonel PELISSIER, commanding a detachment of the
French corps in Algeria, in the massacre of a whole
Arab tribe, within the grotto of Freckeh, in the
Dahrah—a district of the Atlas range. A Contem-
porary (the Morning Chronicle) very justly remarks
on the limitel and transient influence which the personal
character and firmness of the King of the FRENCH
exer-
cises over the inherent tendencies of certain
command-
ing
offict rs in his military and naval service to indulge
in exhibitions of gratuitous insolence in one quarter and
reckless brutality in another. " No sooner," says the
Chronicle, " do these generals and admirals re-
turn to their commands, than this control is thrown
off, and not merely military control, but even, 'we
repeat, common ideas of justice and humanity. The hor-
rible cata,trophe which has just, shocked England and
Europe is a proof of this. A French Commander takes
and stifles a whole Arab tribe, comprising 800 souls, in
a cavern, which they have inhabited from time imme-
morial ;—a tribe which, we are told, has never sub-
mitted to the French, and which might, consequently,
claim the rights and the deference due to open
and honourable foes." The Herald° publishes quite
inadvertently, as our Contemporary remarks, and as if
in the ordinary business-like calculation Of its being an
article calculated to amuse its readers, a letter from a ,

Spanish officer who had been despatched by his Govern-
ment to watch the operations of the French in Algiers,
containin4 a more detailed account of the Dahrah mas-
sacre, whereof he had been an eye-witness and writes,
we must say, as the apologist. It would seem that this
is one of the rare cases in which the first report of hor-
rible events falls very short of the reality, as
subsequently ascertained. The Editor of the Algerine-
Spanish journal, does not write one word of sym-
pathy, or even commentary on this fearful crime ;
yet had it not been for him, Europe and the civilized
world might have remained in utter ignorance of
its perpetration. It now seems that the number
of victims thus baked alive must have ex •
ceeded 1,000. Of these, RO small proportion con-
sisted of women, and with these women perished
many an unoffending infant at its mother's breast.
The premeditation is attested, by the fact deposed
to by the Spanish officer, who writes that himself
and some companions, near the mouth of the cavern,
encountered some Kabyles, and found a means
of apprising them, as an inducement to them to sur-
render their arms and their horses, that the French
would burn them in their retreat if they held out,
and had already gathered such a quantity of brush-
wood for that purpose as loaded fifty-six mules.
The faggots are lighted, the smoke and the flame,
by no unaccountable agency we should have
thought, though the Spaniard appears to consider it a
" singular" phenomenon, were carried into the interior
recesses of the vast cavern. The French soldiers heaped
up the faggots and renewed them incessantly, as " though
they were feeding an oven." PELISSIER had stated, it
seems, that it would have been productive of much "blood-
shed" to have attempted to drive them out at the point

of the bayonet, and so he resorted to the gentle and

humane means of terrible suffocation I The details are so
appalling that they exceed the imaginations of the most
prurient inventors of diciblerie in the most popular school
of modern French romance. That a Spanish Colonel
should write in a strain of disgusting coolness about
there being no remedy (I) for the necessity under which
the French officer found himself, to adopt this
method of exterminating the valiant Coaled Riahs,
does not surprise us. As little do we wonder at
the grateful complacency with which he speaks
of " two yataghans"—snatched from the cold grasp of
murdered men, to whom no opportunity was afforded by
the destroyers for wielding them in fair and open battle—
" that have been presented to him by Colonel PELTS-
miI, as souvenirs 0 0 of this horrible affair." From

a compatriot and fellow-soldier of the MINAS,

and CABRERAS, the MAROTOS, and the BODIES, we
need not marvel at such specimens of brutalised
insensibility ; or that the same individual should
have purchased a necklace which, will other
jewellery, he admits to have been torn and
violently wrenched, all blood-stained as they were, from
the mutilated and blackened corses of the Arab women,
by the uncontrollable rapacity of the French soldiers.
But that conduct so disgraceful should have elicited
no stern rebuke—no emphatic denunciations—from
Marshal SOULT in the Chambers—no instant dis-
avowal and censure from his Royal Master—

these are matters on account of which we may
well be permitted to express our unfeigned as-
tonishment—our sincere regret. PELISSIER, the Spanish

officer tells us, feels but one uneasiness—as to his own
share in this inexpiable villainy. He dreads the ven-
geance of Divine retribution—the atonement to be ex-
acted by human law ? No ; he is proof against
all consequences of that kind ; but ho trem-
bles under apprehensions of " the criticisms of the
journals." Of what nicely balanced elements of ruf-
fiani,m and coxcombry must the moral nature of such a
man be composed! But we venture to predict that the
iron Marshal and the French Government will yet find
themselves compelled to record, by some solemn public
act or declaration, their unqualified disavowal of such a
mode of conducting warfare, even against the chil-

dren of the Desert, and will abandon, on proof of
his guilt, the odious perpetrator of such an outrage
as has been committed in Dahrah against the human
race, to the execration of his fellow-men, and the
utmost penalty which the laws of his country will
inflict for-so desperate an excess of cruelty. Such
a reparation will be due, not alone to the public opinion
and feeling of all Europe, but to the just and generous
resentment which the French nation must entertain
against the degenerate soldiers who have affixed, by bar-
barity so signal, such a great stigma on their reputation.

Buenos Ayres newspapers to the Ist May have been
received. They dwell with much animation on the result
of the battle of India Muerte. Ina dispatch from the Com-
mander-in-Chief of the Buenos Ayrean forces, General
JUSTO J. DE URQUISA, the loss of the Monte Videans is
stated to be 1,000 killed and about 500 prisoners. The action
began at seven o'clock in the morning, and the General says

" that two hours were more than sufficient fur the com-
plete destruction of the ruthless unitarians." RIVERA
had not yet been overtaken, though pursued by the
victorious army with great perseverance. It is ob-
served of him, in a postscript, that " the pardejon"
fled from the field with about 200 savages. but that,
the pursuit being so determined and close, he was left
with only eight, with whom he proceeded towards
Mariscola, in the direction of the Paso de las Piedras
de Ceboliati. Some intercepted correspondence which
had passed between RIVERA and his agents is given in the
Gacett Mercantil. It relates principally to the financial
position of the Monte Videan General, which appears to
have been very desperate.
These papers arrived by a private vessel.

Madrid journals, of the 13th, have arrived. The
Gazette contains two royal decrees—one on the organ-
irition of the Council of State, the other the long-
expected decree restraining the liberty of the press. It
is dated Barcelona, July 6, and signed by the QUEEN,
countersigned by the Minister of the Interior, PEDRO
JOSE PIDAL, and consists of 26 articles. The substance
of it is that the offences of the press are no longer to be tried
by a jury, but by a tribunal composed of six judges, a
majority of at least four of whom will be required for the
condemnation of the offender. The decree is preceded
by a long report to the QUEEN, signed MM. NARYAE4,
MARTINEZ DE LA ROSA, MAYANS, MON, AZMERO,
and PEDRO JOSE PIDAL. The question of the
QUEEN'S marriage appears at present to engross
the attention of Spanish politicans. The Infante
Don HENRY, second son of. Don FRANCISCO DE PAULA
seems at present to be the favourite candidate for her
MAJESTY'S hand.

El Heraldo announces that a " brigade of operations,"
consisting of the San Fernando regiment, three hundred
horse of the Baylen regiment, and a battery of artillery,
is forming at Madrid, for the purpose of promptly
moving wherever circumstances may require its pre
sence. This flying corps has been organised in conse-
quence of the commotion in Catalonia.
By recent letters from Catalonia it appears that the
mass of the inhabitants of the towns and villages near
Barcelona remained entirely strangers to the move-
ment, and in several localities, particularly in the
neighbourhood of Igualada, a great number of pea-
sants joined the troops against the insurgents. An
ex-colonel, named AGUIRRE, who had already figured
in the pronunciamiehtos of Catalonia, aided by his son,
a lieutenant on the retired :list of the regiment
of San Fernando, had succeeded in assembling
under his orders upwards of 400 volunteers, all armed,
but the activity of the Captain-General did not permit
him to organise a serious resistance. It is stated that the
colonel, finding himself abandoned by his partisans
voluntarily surrendered to the authorities of the country.
The troops, in spite of the offers of every kind which
were made by the instigators of the revolt, resisted se-
duction ; some were suprised and disarmed, but not one
would take part with the insurgents.
A letter from Barcelona of the 13th inst. announces
that the QUEEN and Court would return by sea to
Valencia, and proceed thence direct to Madrid. It was
stated on the Paris Bourse on Saturday that, on the
contrary, her MAJESTY would leave on the 14th inst.
for Esparaguera.

The Gazette of the 14th publishes dispatches from
General NARVAEZ of the 9th and 10th from Barcelona.
The drawing for the conscription had been concluded,
there without disturbance. CONCHA had entered Tar-
ragona at six o'clock on the morning of the 9th. The
insurgents had fled from the place. In Sabadell the
number killed was 40, and 60 made prisoners. Of the
troops an officer was killed and six soldiers wounded,
with two horses. Many young men had returned to
the town, and more were expected, if they were sure of

pardon.
El Heraldo states that CONCHA. was to have proceeded
on the 10th to Igualada, to put down the revolt ; and a
force was to be sent to Villafranca for the same purpose.

It was intended to give a grand serenade on the even.
in
ing of the 14th to Don FRANCISCO DE PAULA honour
of the birthday of his son Don HENRY.

the 23d ; about 1000,000. Vales Non consolidated,

We have received the Paris papers of Friday and Sa-
turday. On Friday the session of 1845 was brought to
a close, the Chamber of Peers having adopted the re-
maining Bills on the order of the day, includinz, amongst
others, the Tours to Nantes and Paris to Strasbourg
Railroad Bill, and the Budget of Receipts. The Royal
ordinance will be read on Monday, formally declaring
the session to be at an end, M. Tlilzas has left Paris,

with his family, for the waters of Vichy. He is to
return to Paris in about six weeks, and will then pro-
ceed to Lille.

There was a report prevalent in Paris that the Mi-
nisters had determined on the immediate dissolution of
the Chamber, and that the new elections would take
place in September.
The Opposition journals are very indignant at the
observations which have appeared in some of the Eng-
lish papers, on the subject of Colonel PELISSIER'S con-
duct at Dahra.
On Thursday evening the Commissary of police of
La Villette arrested seven persons assembled in a tavern
of that village, and seized a sum of money, and various
papers relative to the combination of the journeymen
carpenters of Paris.
It would appear from an article in the Courier
Fraufais, that the suppression of the Jesuits in France
had caused considerable sensation in Italy. At Parma,
where the order was restored two years ago, some de-
monstrations took place against them, and a number of
persons were arrested. Disturbances had likewise oc-
curred at Modena, and the lectures of the medical
faculty had been suspended. Several carabineei s had
been killed in the legation of Ravenna, in a collision
with some young men of Cartel Bolognese.
The Presse announces that their Royal Highnesses
the Duke and Duchess of NEMOURS, who are expected
at Gueret on the 26th, and at Limoges on the 28th, will
proceed from Bordeaux to Bilboa, on a visit to Queen
ISABELLA and the QUEEN-MOTHER during their sojourn
in that place.
The Journal des Debots states, that—
" The troubles occasioned by the conscription, and which
at one time threatened to disturb the whole of Catalonia,
had been suppressed. The forbearance which the Spanish
Government had shown upon this occasion, in pardoning
such of the insurgents as chose to return to their homes
within the space of three days, had produced the best results.
Nearly all the peasants in the neighbourhood of Barcelona
who had taken part in the insurrection, had, on the 13th,
laid down their arms, and the prisoners arrested had been set
at liberty."

The National thus comments on this statement of the
Debato :

" If the journal of the Palace is to be believed, the insur-
rection in Catalonia is now completely put down ; General
Concha, according to it, has got the better of the rebels, and
the country enjoys a perfect tranquillity. All these asser-
tions are much exaggerated. It is certain that General
Concha has entered into the open towns without striking a
blow, as nobody defended them ; but it is also certain that
desertions took place in two divisions; that the deserters,
amongst whom are non-commissioned officers, have joined a
column of insurgents, which still keeps the mountains; that
nothing, in fact, is calmed down, unless in the little villages,
that are, so to speak, in the banlieue of Barcelona. And, in
addition, it was necessary for the Political Chief to promise
beforehand an amnesty, and certain alcades had it rumoured
abroad that the drawing by lot would not take place. We
repeat what we have already said, that there has not been up
to the present time any political banner in the insurrection ;
it has been spontaneous, and has remained without direction.
But, if the Spanish Government does notsucceed promptly in
mastering it, most serious events may be expected."
We extract the following from the Semaphore de Mar-
seilles :
" The French steamer Pluton has just brought the news
of the arrival of 5,000 Turkish soldiers at Tripoli. It is sup-
posed that the Sultan intends to attempt by land the coup de
main which the presence of a French naval division has pre-
vented him from executing for several years by sea. The
Bey, it appears, is preparing to defend himself, for 31. Lecor-
beiller, a lieutenant-colonel of the French artillery, who was
to have embarked for France in the Pluton, on some public
mivion, was ordered to postpone his departure, as his pre-
sence might be shortly necessary in the Regency. The
French ship of the line, Neptune, had arrived at Tunis."
The same journal contains the following extract from
a letter dated Algiers, July 10
" I think I can announce to you as certain, that if the ex-
pedition projected against Kabylia does not take place next
autumn, Marshal Bugeaud will quit his government. Mar-
shal Soult differs completely from the Duke d'lsly on the pro-
priety of this expedition. However, if the Kabyles continue
hostilities against our allies, it will be necessary to throw a
body of troops into the east, for, according to the news which
arrive to us from Dellys, it appears that the column of Gen.
Soutil is insufficient to keep in check the Kabyles, who have
already pillaged several tribes. Matters are assuming a
rather grave appearance in this quarter. Thus the war is in
the centre, for the insurrection is not completely extinguished
in the circle of Orleansville, on the east and the west. Un-
fortunately the great heat renders it impossible for us to as-
sume the offensive vigorously. Nothing can be seriously
undertaken until September. Letters from the west state
that General Delarue was on the evening of the sth on his
return from Tangiers at Oran, where he was waiting for an
answer to the dispatches which he had sent to France by the
Titan steamer, and the result of the mission with which he
had entrusted 31. Leon Roche, who had gone to Paris. It is
believed that the General will return to Tangiers."
The Duchess D'lsLy arrived at Marseilles from Algiers
on the 14th.

The Augsburgh Gaulle states that the Prince and
Princess DE METTERNICH would start on the 20th for
his chateau of Johannesberg. It adds that the Prince
has received a formal invitation from the King of PRus-
me and from Queen VICTORIA, at their approaching
interview.

A letter from Warsaw, 19th inst., in the German
Journal of Frankfort, says-
" During the sojourn of the Emperor Nicholas at Warsaw,
the Catholic Bishops having been presented to him, the Em-
peror demanded of the Governor whether he was satisfied
with them. The Prince having replied in the affirmative,
his Majesty said, lam not so; I know that many eccle-
siastics forget that their duties impose on them tolerance and
mildness towards their fellow-citizens, to whatever sect they
may belong. There are many who, by their words and their
actions, do not fulfil this duty. I wish to have tolerance and
concord in my states, but I promise to protect the Catholic
religion against the schism which prevails around us.' The
Emperor conversed with great affability with the head of the
Evangelical Church, and asked for information relative to
the Jewish Hospital."

It is highly satisfactory to state that the principal pro-
vinces are nobly coming forward with subscriptions for the
purpose of relieving the mass of individuals who have so
severely suffered by the awful fire at Quebec. Our readers
will already have learned by the advertising columns of The
Sun, that the merchants and bankers of London have libe-
rally subscribed. Manchester has come forward already to
the extent of very nearly 6,0001. The amount collected at

Irish, and Scottish ports, no doubt an equal . degree of
liberality will be exhibited by their returns to the
Committee, the more especially as the last three
named, have a considerable intercourse with both Upper and
Lower Canada, not only commercially speaking, but also as
having promoted emigration extensively to the British
North American colonies. It is to be hoped, that by the
next packet a large amount will be in readiness to be re-
mitted by the committee here to the " Relief Committee" at
Quebec. The former body are most active in their desire to
render the most prompt aid to those who are in such great
need of speedy assistance.
From the West Indies, as well as from South America and
the continent, the bullion and other most valuable property
continuing to be received here by every successive arrival is
very large indeed. All the islands, both Leeward and Wind-
ward, forming the West India group, are said to be in a rapid
state of improvement. A private communication states that
the negroes had become somewhat alarmed at the prospect
of a large addition of Hill Coolies from India, and had
showed that they were able to perform continu-
ous labour, as well as those strangers. In point of fact, they
have been shamed out, in a great number of instances, of
their heretofore proverbial lazy habits. The rapidity with
which subscriptions have been raised in London, for the ex-
tension of railway communication in the Colonies, was
matter of general conversation by rich and poor, as every
one is sanguine that prosperity must result by an increase of
inter-communication of a rapid nature.

king, or emigration further into the interior of Africa, will
again, no doubt, be resorted to, and we shall have, by and
bye, a considerable European colony in the neighbourhood of
our own settlements, the Portuguese at Delagoa Bay
being reedy to receive the Dutch. It is, indeed, unfortunate
that, for the sake of all parties, the Boers could not have been

A sale of 8,500 pines, just received from the West Indies,
is now in progress in Monument-yard. The sale-room, when
Mr. Keeling entered the rostrum, at eleven o'clock, was
crowded to suffocation by all sorts of ready buyers, from the
rich west-end fruiterer to the perambulating dealer. These
sales of pines are now attracting a considerable degree of in-
terest in the City.

DEATH OF LORD CANTERBURY

We regret to 'be compelled to record the death of the
Right Hon. Viscount Canterbury (many years Speaker of
the House of Commons, previous to his being called to the
House of Lords), hich took place at the residence of his son
the Hon. Mr. Manners Sutton, at 11, Southwick-terrace,
Oxford-square, at precisely half-past two o'clock this day,
in the presence of Mr. and Mrs. Manners Sutton, and Mr.
and Mrs. Sanderson, the only medical attendant present
being Mr. Flockton, of Cambridge-terrace,jlyde-park. It
appears the Right Honourable Viscount arrived by the
mail-train yesterday morning from his mansion, near
Exeter, where he had been staying,
and, on his arrival
at the station of the Great Western Railv. ay, at Paddington,
he was suddenly seized, whilst in the act of delivering up his
ticket, with a fit of apoplexy. Mr. Flockton was called
in, and bled him in both arms, and caused him to be removed
to Southwick-terrace, and applied mustard poultices to hi,
feet. He was insensible from the time of his attack till hi,
decease. Dr. Guthrie and Dr. Chambers were sent for, but
had nut arrived at the time of his decease.

Sir Robert and Lady Pc el gave an elegant enter-
tainment on Saturday last, at the Right Hon. Baronet's private
residence in Whitehall-gardens, when her Royal Highness the
