motives that inspire those theories, but we consider it an
art of pattiotisin and real humanity to combat them
with all our might. France wishes to put a period
to the war in Africa, and she is right, for political con-
siderations of the highest importance require it ; but
the only mode of obtaining that result is to conduct it
with energy and rapidity, and to leave no other banner
unfurled in the country but our own. The affair of
Africa unfortunately cannot be adjusted by gendarmes,
as asserted by the partisans of the pacific system."
These, it is known, are Marshal BUGEAUD'S views ; and,
under present circumstances, he is nut likely to return
to his post without liberty to carry on the war in his own
way, and without a large addition to the forces already
in that quarter. A correspondent of the Journal des
Debuts alludes to the difficulties which must ari.e from
the retreat of ABD-EL-KADER within the Morocco fron-
tier in these words :—" Itis to be apprehended that ABD -
EL-KADER, after parading the heads of our soldiers among
the frontier tribes to excite them to revolt, will retire on
the territory of Morocco, without awaiting the arrival
of our troops. The revolts of the tribes, even should
they cost us some losses, are without danger, because
the chastisement is ever certain and prompt ; but the
same is not the case with an enterprising enemy, who,
relying on the asylum he is sure to find on the birders
of; our territory, watches the propitious hour, pre-
pares it by fomenting insurrection, and when he has suc-
ceeded, pounces upon feeble columns as upon a prey,
and then returns with impunity into his retreat, where
we are not permitted to follow him. We cannot, on the
other hand, charge the Government of Morocco with
treason, for ABD.EL-KADER seeks refuge among tribes
who do not recognise the authority of the EMPEROR.
It is my conviction that the treaties with Morocco are
good, that the Court of Fez would wish to execute them,
and that the presence of ABD-EL•KADER on the Moorish
territory is much more menacing for the throne of the
EMPEROR than for our domination in Africa—a fact of
which ABDERRAHMAN is perfectly aware." The .A ccienal
takes a very different view of the affair, and attributes
the present disasters and difficulties to the timidity of
the Government, who, under the influence of England,
consented to the treaty of Morocco without binding the
EMPEROR down by conditions which would have titled),
excluded A BD-EL-KADER from his dominions. We give
the article in question at length, as it probably expresses
the sentiments of a large number of Frenchmen :
" The, accounts from Algeria have naturally made a most
painful impression. A great many persons bad flattered
themselves that the recitals of the colonial press were, to a
certain degree, exaggerated. Marshal Bugeaud has Mends
in Africa who earnestly wish fur his return, and have, since
his departure, constantly repeated that his presence in Algeria
is indispensable, as he alone is capable of bearing the weight
of this great Government; that without him his best lieu-
tenants fail in energy and judgment ; and people ask
themselves whether it might not be possible that this
troop of Seids bad inflated beyond all measure the
catastrophe of Djemma Ghazaouat, with the object
of raising the value of their idol. The semi official
journals of the evening were therefore sought for with
great inipatienco. It was hoped that the Government would
not fail to publish the official details which the Governor-
General, ad interim, certainly must have transmitted. These
journals, however, were silent on the occasion. The Mes-
sager has contented itself without producing the recitals in the
Monileur Algerien. We think we are very reserved when we
say only that we consider this to be highly improper. Of two
things one—either the minister is acquainted with the whole
truth, and therefore ought to have published it entire, or it
knows not the whole truth, and therefore the too legitimate
tears of families demand that it should have warned the people
against listening to rumours which may turn out to have
been exaggerated. Perhaps the Government shrinks from
the resp.msibility which this complication of affairs in Africa
throws upon it. But vainly will it try to relieve itself from
a burthen which is chiefly its own. It may, and no doubt
will, Le said, let the memory of Colonel Montagnac answer
fur the adventurous sortie in which, most unfortunately,
he lost his life; but it is not from that we have to demand
an account of the appearance again upon our territories of
Abd-el-Kader, at the head of a numerous body of warriors.
The real authors of this new peril are the men who nego-
tiated and signed the treaty of peace with Morocco before
AbJ-el-Kader was safely lodged in custody of the troops of
Morocco or of France, and sent either into this country or to
one of the places on the remote shores of Morocco. If, in-
stead of vain promises of his being put at ban, the principal
negotiator of this treaty, the Prince de Joinville, and the
Government in whose name he- acted, had firmly insisted
upon the expulsion of Abd-el-Kader as a preliminary condi-
tion for the suspension of hostilities, Muley Abderrhaman
would, no doubt, have done all in his power to give us this
indispensable guarantee of security. But, no; on account of
the proximity of Gibraltar, the parties contented them-
selves with we know not what sort of a stipulation
which was ridiculous at the time, and of which we have
had to sustain the doleful consequences. But, after all,
France is considered to be sufficiently abundant in
brave soldiers to render 4 unnecessary to economise their
blood! That this blood will be avenged we well know, and
perhaps has been already. On the first report of what had
happened, General Cavaignac hastened to the spot, mid an
engagement has already taken place. But this reparation,
however prompt and energetic it may have been, is not
sufficient. As long as Abd-el-Kader can find a secure refuge
am,ng our neighbours of Morocco, the tranquillity of our
possessions in Africa will be dell/disturbed. This asylum.
must therefore be shut against him. The Emperor of
Morocco must decide whether he will be for us or for our
enemy. If for us, he must join his troops to ours, and in
concert with them pursue the man who is a constant terror
to his dynasty, as well as a scourge to us. In the second
case, the Emperor must be again made to feel the weight of
our power. It is necessary to act with promptitude and
vigour. The peace of Europe cannot last for ever, and we
sli 'old take advantage of so much of it as remains to fix our
dominion so stably in Africa, that whatever' complications
may arise in Europe, Algeria may be a succour to us, and not
an embarrassment"

WAR. AGAINST MOROCCO.

(From the He; ald.)

PARIS, OCT. 7.
The Moniteur of to-day (Tuesday morning) contains the

following :
"A Council of Ministers were held yesterday at St. Cloud.
The King has commanded that six regiments of infantry and
two of cavalry be embarked and carried immediately into
Algiers, in the pro%ince of Oran, witere the Marshal Duko
D'lslv is about to receive ordeis to return immeo:ately."

This army, consisting of 12,000 men, is intended for an
expedition into Morocco, as is unequivocally announced by
the Journal des .Debats, of almost equal authority with the
Moniteur itself; in the following terms :
" The news published by the Messayer will respond to the
public cry for a prompt and striking punishment of the
perfidy to which our brave soldiers' have fallen viciims
Eight regiments, forming 12,000 men, are to be sent immed;-
ately into the province of Oran. Marshal Bugeaud reiAnns
to his post.
"It now remains to-be seen what shall be the destination
of these forces. It is not difficult for us to form a conjec-
ture. Everything indicates where the blow, in order to be
efficacious, ought to be struck. We shall e:::,:ress our opi-
nion in one word—we must have done with Abd-el-Kae.er
and seek him in whatever place he takes refuge. Toe troops
we have in Africa more than suffice for the refy estion Of
partial insurrection. The Government need not; reinforce
80,000 men with the single object of chastising some rebel
Arabs.

".Abd-el-Bader is the sole cause of these ceaseless rebel-Fo'

He is the obstacle who- must be destroyed be we can arrive
at the definitive pacification of Algiers. We have driven
this able and audacious chief from the countries of orbr rale ;
he has retired into Morocco. He has establi,led, in a part
of this empire and upon our frontier, his camp. It
is there he watches for an opportunity of sui prising
and killing our soldiers. Conquer or conquered, it is there
he seeks shelter from our arms. It is there he must be met,
and by one last blow the prestige of his power destroyed. Be-
tween European powers the aim is the enemy's capital,
Abd-el-Kader's capital is wheresoever his tents, horses,wives
and old people are.. The capital of Abd-el-Kader is at pre-
sent in Morocco."
The Debats goes on to show that according to the law of
nations an expedition into Morocco is justifiable; besides this
legal right, there is the stronger one founded upon the treaty
of Tangiers, by an article of which the Emperor engaged to
expel Abd-el-Kader from the territory of Morocco, or to con-
fine him therein; and concluded by saying that the war is
not against the Emperor of Morocco, but " against Abd-el-
Kader in Mc rocco." _ _

In another article the Debats gives an account of the
forces under the Emir's command, and a description of the
locality where they are placed. It is as follows :
" The river deyalonia, in Morocco, where Abd-el Bader
has taken refuge, is but two or three days' march
from the French frontier. It is by the coast side
that be has come into the district of Ned: oma,
where is situated the fort of Djemmaa Ghazaouet.
passing by the Djebel or Mount Rarmoun by Me-
suda, aid the countries of the Souhalia. His deira is upon
the left bank of the river, at the extremity of the little inter-
nal desert of Garet, upon the slopes of the Djebel Touna and
Djebel Azgan, descending from the long chain of the Rif.
This deira is a colony of fractions of tribes, who, with their
families, hope by the holy war to gain the paradise of Ma-
i hornet.

This tribe is composed of about 5,000, of which about 500
are regular cavalry, the rest infantry. All who can carry
arms constitute the gourn, and settle wherever they find it
necessary, to feed their camels, cattle, and horses.
The Berberes, or Kabyles, of the Rif, have openly em-
braced the cause of the Emir, whom .tbey look upon
as a saint ; while the Emperor has lost al
credit since he treated with infidels. These Berberes have
never completely obeyed the Court of Fez. The chain
of the Rif rises from the shore of the Mediterranean, above
the Spanish settlements, called Penon de Velez and Albin-
ma.s, and extends to Tetouan, not far from Tangiers. The Ka-
byles are bold smugglers, and cannot be approached in their
mountain defiles by the Emperor's troops, and are tee most
ferocious of all the Maugrel. At one time they successfully
resisted 3,000 imperial troops. Abd-el-Kader lives in saiety
among these tribes, on whom he imposes no laws, and
does 'not even demand from them subsidies. They are
accordingly devoted to him. To them he confides
his deira, when be sets out on an expedition, and then
proceeds with all the men capable of bearing arms.
On his way he recruits his forces from the tribes that lie in
his way. It was thus that on the late occasion he had with
him some of the Beni -Suassin of the Guersif, and of the
Djeradoua, who belong to Morocco, and with them the
Kabyles of the mountains of Sidi-Brahim, in all 4,000
warriors.
" The loss of General Bowjelly on the 22d has been ascer-
tained to have been serious. There fell with Colonel Berthier
28 killed, and 90 were wounded; 9 horses killed and 11
wounded. The Arabs attacked with 200 infantry and 1,000
cavalry. Of the force cut off by Abd-el-Kader only ten es-
caped out of 450."
The Epoque states that the King was so affected with the
news from Africa that he ordered the concert to be post-
poned, which was to have been given on Monday evening
upon the occasion of his Majesty's birthday.
The Constitution nel mentions tbat orders to return directly
to Paris had been communicated by telegraph to Marshal
Soult and Marshal Bugeaud.

The Juutnal des Debate publishes a second letter
containing some additional details from Rimini. The
follia.ving is the only extract of the least interest:—
"The town of Ravenna, ten leagues distant from Rimini,
followed its example; a rising took place there on the 24th,
in the name of the constitution, but the Cardinal Legate,
who resides there, having at his disposal Pontifical troops
and 1,000 Swiss soldiers, with some artillery, immediately
attacked the insurgents. A sanguinary struggle took place,
which is said to have lasted for five hours; the artillery
fired grape through the streets, and several of the in-
habitants were killed. The Pontifical troops had on their
side one officer killed as well as several Swiss soldiers. We
have no further details of what took place at• this point, but
it appeared that the authorities gained the upper hand, and
that tranquillity was re-established on the same day. At
the first news of the insurrection of Rimini, the Cardinal Le-
gate of the province, who resides at Forli, took the most
energetic measures. He assembled considerable forces, and
particulaly the Swiss, and marched them with some
artillery against the town of Rimini. The insurgents there,
who had already been informed of what had taken place at
Rayeana, decided on evacuating the town which they could
na longer held. At the approach of the troops, therefore,
they deposited their arms in the market-place, and fled—
some into the mountains, and others to the boats which
were at anchor in the port. During the three days that the
insurgents kept possession in the town, they behaved with
great moderation ; they respected private property, and even
the arms and insignia of the Pontiticial Government, and, on
leaving the place, only carried off the money in the town trea-
sury and the savings' bank, which, however, did not amount
to a large sum. As so( n as the town had been abandoned by
the insurgents, the old authorities sent a deputation to the
Cardinal Legate and to the Commander-in-Chief of the troops
coming from Forli, declaring that the inhabitants had
remained passive spectators of what had occurred, and im-
ploring the clemency of the Pontificial Government. The
most Asurd rumours have been spread throughout Italy. At
Venice it was reported that some French steamers had ef-
fected a landing at Civita Vecchia, and that the authorities
had immediately armed a great number of small vessels ready
to put to sea. Although the insurrection has completely
failed, a great degree of excitement reigns in the public mind ;
and it is feared that the insurgents will organise a Guerilla
warfare in the mountains. The Government of the Grand
Duchy of Tuscany has adopted measures to watch its fron-
tiers, and the Governments of the other States of Italy have
also thought it necessary to take precautionary measures"
The Piedmontese Gazette, the official journal of Turin,
of the Ist inst., thus notices the affair of Rimini :
" A band of several hundreds of men lauded furtively on
the 24th ult. on the shore of the Pontifical States, and got
possession, by surprise, of Rimini, where, it appears, they had
had some understanding with the garrison. On the approach
of the troops sent in this direction the disturbers of public
order dispersed, carrying away with them the public money.
We have no other details of this affair, but it seems that
tranquillity is perfectly re-established."
According to some of the Paris papers, the Bing of the
BELGIANS had published on the 2d an ordonnance which
provides that for one year, commencing from that date,
the increase of the import duties on cottons shall not be
applicable to those of France.
The following are miscellaneous extracts :
" Louis Philippe was to review, on the Bth, seven or eight
regiments of the line, in the Court of the Tuileries.
The Epagne, formerly the Paris Globe, a Government
paper, states that M. Ronge, having intimated his intention
of visiting France, received a communication, through the
French Chargé d'Affaires, that he might travel in France as
a private individual, but would not be allowed to celebrate
worship according to the forms of German Catholicism."
" According to a statistical account it appears that from
1827 to 1843 there were 101,739 accidental deaths, and
103,120 suicides in France. The annual average of each of
these is 5,984 for the first, and 5,831 for the second. The an-
nual amount of the last, however, increased in a lament.

in 1834 it was 2,078 ; in 1837 it was 9,443 ; In 1840 it was
u,/52 ; and in 8431 it was 8,020.
"The Gazette of the Upper Rhine states that a Ministerial
rescript has been addressed to all the heads of the Protestant
Church in the Grand Duchy of Baden, ordering them not to

" A letter from Stockholm, 22d ult., in the Universal
German Gazette, states that after the return of the King
there will be a change in the Council, into which several
Liberal members are to be introduced, The recal of Baron

MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS.
(From The Sun of Last Night.)
The sales of Cotton at Liveryool yesterday were only 80
bales, and the market was very dull. There was no change
in prices. Shares we?ie quiet, and there was not much doing.
If the accounts that were received yesterday and to-day
from many parts of Ireland are to be believed, the potato
crops are suffering in many districts from the same dis-
ease as that which had attacked so large a proportion
of the plantations in this country. In the county
of Cork we are assured, upon the best authority, that a very
large amount of damage has already been done. We con-
fess that we hesitate placing full credence to the statement
that the growth of the sister isle has been damaged
to the extent a earrespondent of ours asserts,
as heretofore we have received very gratifying accounts, not
only as to the quality of the potatoes in ohnost all
districts of Ireland, but also, that the yield
would, in ell probability, be most ample. It is
not upon light grounds that we are disposed to
look with suspicion to many of the advices received from
Ireland of the prospects of the potato crops, as there are
many parties on this side of the Channel who, as holders of
articles usually substituted for flour and potatoes when prices
are high, desire the markets to be influenced by reports
that maybe disseminated through the public press. Any at-
tempt of this kind ought to be immediately shown up, so
that the poorer classes may not suffer by any combination
that may be found to enhance the value of the necessaries of
life.
The state of the Money Market is most satisfactory.
There are not the slightest symptoms of a pressure, notwith-
standing very large amounts of capital are almost daily
lodged with the Accountant-General in the shape of-deposits
on new railway companies. In truth, there are deposits still
in the hands of .the private and the joint-stock banks on the
same account, to an extent almost without the bounds of
credibility.
The Consol Market has been very firm at-98% 14, and the
mine value is to be easily obtained for Money Stock. The
premium on Exchequer-bills has receded a fraction, but still
the interest of money is low. India Bonds are at 63 premium,
and Italia Stock at 266.
About three or four quotations are given in the Foreign
list to-day. The old Portuguese Five per Cents. are at 84;
the Venezuelan Two per Cents. are at 43; and the Dutch
Four per Cent:Certificates 94 to 95.
The demand for the Railway Shares is extremely good.
Great expectations. are entertained of the Ceylon project,
passing as it does through a rich and populous district of this
luxuriant colony—and from all information, the cost of con-
