All our information shows that the Kant'. the Emperor of Morocco has forbidden all inter
vention, and that the Beni Snussens have declarr;
to Abd-el-Kader that they will reverence him
a Marabout, but will no longer meddle in his r,
litical affairs. The Emir is said to have

camped three leagues from the Talna, and
lost several of his horses by the late cold. "ipd
inhabitants of the Ouled Ttyah and the Ouled
Melouck are desirous of abandoning him. Ito
the Arabs concur in stating that the Ben; Sausgsor
had 260 killed. At this lam not surprised,l,o
several of them, from having scattered thetnselshe
after the battle, may have been murdered by the
Kabyles for their spoils. It is certain that of
son.of the Kalifat is wounded, as well as eight
