domination. The!English fan the animosity of the
children of MALIOMET against France. For the last
fourteen years Great Britain has made war upon us
in Africa. Four Consuls are the generals of this
campaign of the Cabinet of St. James's against
us—the Consuls of Tangiers, Algiers, Tunis, and
Tripoli."

A private letter gives the following account of the
massacre of the little garrison of Biscara :—" Ser-
geant-Major PELISSE, the only man of the French
that escaped, either through the facility with which
he speaks Arab, or the protection of a Marabout, and
his agility in jumping over the walls of the Casbah,
relates the melancholy event as follows :—On the
12th, towards two in the morning, some shots were
heard in the plain, and this signal was responded to
in the inter:or of the Casbah. At the same time the
conspirators opened the gates to the Khalifat BEL
ADJ-ITAMET, their former chief, whilst others assas-
sinated the officers. Lieutenant PETITGRAND, the
officer in command of the camp, was killed in his bed
by a Zouave attached to his personal service.
Lieutenant CROCIIARD, an officer of merit and of
great courage, who certainly would not have
been taken alive if he had not been asleep, was
assassinated by the sentry placed at the
door of the clothing store, near which he lived. Sur-
geon MARTIN was killed at the moment he was leaving
his room to inform M. PETTIGRAND of the tumult
which he heard outside. The corporal received a
ball in the groin, and the poor man lingered on for
three days, tortured by those monsters, who refused
to give him anything to quench the dreadful thirst
that devoured him. The dead bodies of all these
unfortunates were afterwards dragged to the mosque,
and hung up by one foot. They would have been,
without doubt, found in this situation, were it not
for the energy and courage of a young girl, who re-
mained in the power of the Khalifat, who himself
was present at the carnage and pillage of the Cas.:Jah.
This girl obtained permission, by dint of supplica-
tions and prayers, to have them buried. They were
accordingly placed in the tomb which contained the
body of Captain BOROT, killed two months previously
at the Mures mountains. This tomb was the only
thing they respected." The place has been retaken,
and given ug for two days, to pillage, by the French
soldiers.

The revolt and massacre above alluded to formed on
Thursday evening the subject discussed in the Cham-
ber of Deputies. Marshal SOULT read two dispatches
from the Duke D'AUMALE, describing the affair, and
throwing the blame of it upon the two officers who
had been its victims, and whose neglect .or want of
caution would certainly appear to justify the accusa-
tion. The National, however, regards the charge as
ungracious, disingenuous, and unfair, on the part of
the youthful General, and, coupling it with the late
narrow escape of his Royal Highness from being
made prisoner, argues against intrusting a command
so important to a young man of his inexperience.
In Friday's sitting, the Chamber of Deputies dis-
cussed the Bill lately presented by the Government
for improving several of the French ports. A sum
of 18,980,000 f. was voted for Marseilles, and another
of 1,800,000 f. rejected, which had been demanded
for the opening of a maritime canal from Bouc to
Martigues. The Chamber then adjourned to Monday,
owing to the grand theatrical file to be given by
Louts PIIILIPPE at Versailles, on Saturday evening.
Some of the Opposition Members, who had not been
invited, indignantly opposed this adjournment.
The Three per Cents. closed on Saturday at 82f.
45c.; the Five per Cents. at 121 f. 90c. ; Spanish Ac-
tives, 308 ; Passive, 5i ; Spanish Three per Cents.
