are related hv person who has Just arriv-
ed at Marseilles on board the Diligente,
coming from that place =" On the 31st of
August, about 2 o'clock, P. NJ, being at
dinner on board our vessel at Oran, we sud
denly heard the signal of an attack by the
Bedouins. We Immediately proceeded to
the upper part of the town, from whence
we perceived the plain on which about 300
Bedoulns were scattered, acting las sharp
shooters and endeavoring to carry off some
hullocks guarded by the Turks. Whilst
these faithful keepers, who are always arm
ed with muskets, were returning the fire of
the Bedouins, about $50 men of the regi-
ment of African Chasseurs were ordered to
march into the plain. They soon charged
the enemy, but Unexpectedly 1900 or 1900
Bedouins sailed out of the bushes. Their
number, so far from dsheartening our men.
increased their courage. The charge re-
commenced and ended by the flight of 1900
Bedouins before $50 French troops, who
brought back in triumph the bulocks, to-
gether with five heads of the Bedouns,
which were exhibited for a short time in the
market place. One of our horses was
wounded. The BeGouins had five men kill
ed and several wounded. OF their horses
three were killed, and six wounded"
