and razzias, and which must be terminated before
we can make any dispitly of our forces on our

western and south-western frontier. The last move-

went of ABD-EL•KADER has again complicated the
state of affairs, by raising a doubt as to whether his plan
is to canton himself in lgorocco with the emigrant tribes,
or leaving them in safety in that country, to establish
himself with his new army in the Algerian Sahara, at
Djebel Amour, at El Aghouat, or at the eastern extra-

may of the Chots; to harass uson our southern frontier;
to penetrate into the Tell by rapid marches ; to sud-
denly retire and extend his operations to the south of
Tittery, and push his cavalry as far as the confines of
the province of Constantine. It is to be wished that
the present march of the EMIa on the side of Tanguine
may be merely an attempt, a coup de main, without any
determinate plan, and that we may soon hear of his re-
turn into the west. We cannot, however, believe that

he will definitively re-enter Morocco until he has been
complied to do so by our arms, or by his want of pro -

•
visions in Algeria."
The National gives more minute details, and follows
these with remarks on the hopeless contest in which
France is engaged, and the total incapacity of the man
to whom the KING and his Ministers have handed over
the whole government of that expensive colony. The
article is not long, and we give it entire, because it de-
scribes at the same time the power of ABD.EL-KADER
and the weakness of BUGEAUD and his lieutenants:—

"At each new combat our troops give new proofs of their
intrepidity and ardour, and of the patience under fatigue,
which is still more rare than courage in presence of the
enemy. All the chiefs of corps vie with each other in prais-
ing the courage of their men, and public opinion in France
accepts these commendations with joy. But this for the
present is the only completely satisfactory result of the last
operations, for from the official reports themselves it appears
that our affairs have not much improved. The insurrection
continues; the province of Oran is agitated in the same way
as before ; the long interrupted communications between Oran
and Tlemcen have not been reeestablished ; the emigration
coniinues ; the chastised tribes only give in uncertain sub-
missions ; and it is found necessary to be continually sending
columns fro:n one point to another to prevent new insurrec-
tions. The audacity of the scheriffs of Abd-el-Kader is re-
doubled. Bou Maza has approached Orleanaville with a large
force to menace the town and attack the allies, who were
kept from co-operating against us by the power of our arms.
All the tribes of the circle of Tenez are in open revolt, and
as soon as our troops approach them they fly, obeying the
injunction of Bou Maza, who says to them, according to
a letter from Colonel St. Arnaud to General de Bar,
'Fly! do not defend yourselves but when yon are com-
pelled, offer terms of submission and wait for events.'
On the other hand, Abd-el-Kader, who was supposed
to be in the west, appears to have passed between our
columns, and to be advancing to the south. He takes with
him all the tribes to whom he addresses himself, and the
efforts of our generals to come up with this redoubtable Bo-
hemian (Gipsy), who is well seconded by the fanaticism
which he has roused, have as yet been vain. Such is the
succinct restim4 of the last news, stripped of the brilliant
feats of our army. They do not present a brilliant perspec-
tive. A large portion of the population flies before us; an-
other portion of our conquest also escapes. We have all to
do over again. If we had for the last ten years kept up be-
tween Europe and Africa a current of emigration, we should
have reason to rejoice at, and not regret, these emigrations
of the Arabs; but nothing of this kind has been done under
our detestable regime ; we have only perpetuated in Algeria
a ruinous and uncertain situation. It would seem as if it had
been intended to keep up in Algeria an ever-bleeding wound,
and to make France disgusted with her conquest. From
time to time we receive pompous bulletins, and our vigilance
is lulled by flatteries to our pride. The Government is given
up to chance • colonisation is neglected ; we take for security
the fatigue of enemy who is merely recruiting his strength,
and suddenly we are aroused from our slumber by an insur-
rection which no pains had been taken to prevent. We know
not whether this last lesson will be of use to us,:but we may
assert that, an experience will.be.useless, so long 119 we leave
the direction of affairs to Ministers whose incapacity-or want
of will is shown, and so long as we abandon thefate of Algeria
to the incurable want of foresight and systematic obstinacy
of Marshal Bugeaud."
" The dispatches from Africa," says the Siecle," with-
out raising any alarm as to the future fate of those colonies,
at the same time put an end to all doubts as to the con-
flagration of the western provinces. In face of the diffi •
culties which are revealed, and considering the distance
at which we are from the scene, we have refrained from
passing any precipitate judgment upon the plan and
operations of Marshal BUGEATD ; but it is too evident
that his return into Algeria has not had that prompt and
decisive effect in repressing the revolt that he himself
seemed to expect. ABD-EL -KAMM, who was believed
to have been driven back into the desert, has again made
his appearance, and draws the population after him
wherever he moves."

We subjoin some miscellaneous oxtracts from the

papers :--
"The squadron for the expedition against Madagascar is
about to sail. According to the Constitutionnel, it is com-
posed of the frigates La Gloire, Captain Aubry Bailleul ;
Armide, Captain Despointes ; Reine Blanche, Captain Gatier ;
Belle Poule, Captain Greet; and Pschye, Captain Doret.
But as Captain Grael is appointed Governor of the Island of
Bourbon, he will on his arrival be replaced by Captain Des-
fosses, commandant of that station, who will take the general
command of the expedition. The frigates will not take out
their full complements, because they will have to carry
troops of infantry, marine artillery, and engineers. Two or
three store-sloops will accompany them. The command of
the troops is given to General Duvivier, who has served for
a long time in Africa."
The Gazette de Lyon of the 30th ult., says :-
" Our market has for several days been in a state of great
inquietude from our financial position. A scarcity of money
is everywhere felt ; and from the depression of prices in all
kinds of manufactured goods, considerable losses have been
sytained. Want of credit is extreme, and the panic which
attends moments of crisis aggravates the evil, by adding in.
considerate alarms to the general mistrust. Every man feels
it necessary to be cautious, so that all business may be said
to be suspended. We are informed that, under the influence
of these disastrous circumstances, a meeting of the principal
manufacturers took place the day before yesterday, to take
into consideration the injury done by the temptations offered
to divert capital, by the facility afforded to speculators and
gamblers by the establishment of a stock exchange ; and it
is said that a petition for its suppression was unanimously
agreed upon."
"A royal ordinance in the Moniteur directs the publication
of the treaty of friendship, commerce, and navigation con-
cluded on the 24th of September, 1844, between France and
China.
" The cold weather appears to have set in this year earlier
in the south of France than in other parts of the country.
The mountains in the Basses-Alpes hare been for some days
covered with snow. The same has occurred towards the
Basses-Pyrenees, and ice has already been seen in the Valley
of the Iluveaume, near Marseilles. In that city on Monday
last the thermometer stood at 25 of Fahrenheit."
A letter from Lucerne of the 27th ult. says :-
" The jury charged with the examination into the affair
of M. Leu has just charged M. d'Eschembach, formerly mem-
ber of the Grand Council, Captain Corragioni, and M. Inei-
ellen de Rothenhurg, as accomplices in the murder of that
gentleman. Three other parties, who hare fled, have been
also indicted, and the examining judge has demanded their
extradition. They are Antoine Muller, brother of the prin-
cipal person accused ; Buhler, formerly member of the Court
of Appeal ; and Troller, an inn-keeper at Lucerne. M. Ca-
simir Pfyeer, whose conditional liberation from prison has
been announced, has been already present at the sitting of
the tribunal of the district, of which he is vice-president.
Ile is, nevertheless, under a kind of surveillance, and has
been compelled to furnish 5,000 francs caution money,for not
having made the authorities acquainted with the intended
assassination of M. Len, of which he had been informed."

A Cabinet Council was held, at three o'clock this afternoon,
at the nreign-office Sir R. Peel, the Duke of Wellington,
Lord Stanley, and the other Ministers in town were present.
MORTALITY IN TIIE METROPOLIS.—The number of deaths
is on the increase, as is usual on the approach of winter, and
during the week ending Saturday, Nov. 29, amounted to 963,
exceeding that of the preceding week by 54. The increase
is chiefly in diseases of the lungs, and the organs of respira-
tion, the number under that head showing an excess over the
averages of five autumns. Tho total amount was 331, last
week 294, and average 323. The measles appear to be less
virulent, though the number of deaths are twice as great as
the average. The violent deaths were 20, of which 6 were
suicides.

WESTMINSTER SCHOOL.—The play selected for
representation by the Queen's scholars during the present
month is the Andria of Terence. The days of performance
are fixed for Monday the Bth, Thursday the 11th, and Mon-
day the 15th instant.
