The affairs Of Europe present the most singular
aspect ina gsabie. From the subjoined letter il is
very evident that the Emperor of Russia is secretly
copniving with the Emperor Of Morocco and Ab-del-
Kader against the interests of the French in Africa
This .ment, in conjunction with the treaty
movements between England, Russia, Austria, and
Prussia, in relation TO the Egyptian question, pre-
sents a very curious state OF things. France must
feel part ularly sensitive aud deeply annoyed IN
the premises, especially when che remembers the
relative situations of Russia and England the
| plains of Tartary.
The Russian army is near Khiva and the British
army is at Herat, (but 10 II days ride asunder)
| preaching each other with the most hostile atti
tude imag bile, to contend for the possession and
severe enty the East On the other side Ems land
steps forward, takes Russia cordially by the hand,
and togt Their they make common cause against the
| interests Of France both in Algiers and Egypt. 1t
| is curious and critical state of things; and we
should feel surprised, if after ALL the affair leads
to open hostil.ties between England and Russia
the one hand, and France and Mehemet Ali on the
other.
TErUAS, uSE IL, 1910.
| You doubtless hear good deal through the medi-
Of the French papers, of the extensi'e mill AIRY
preparations and operations in this country but you
hear very little that is true Of the doings OF the
Moors in Algiers and in Morocco As to the move
ments Of Ab-del- RAIDER it is almost impossible to
know any thing with certainty; the plans of his
campaign are known to noae but his two confidential
generals. He is in motion and constantly trav-
ersng the country, hence great many Of his
appearance almost multaneousy in different places.
1t was but few days since that he was reported on

undoubtedly for the object of communication with
his partizans of Morocco.
The present emperor of this kingdom, Muley Abb
derhamman, is known to be rather Of quiet dispose
ton; he much prefers money TO war, and has no dis
position to embroil himself with the French, unless
he is sure that he can make something out Of it, The
cause Of Alb del. Kader, however, eXcites so much
enthus among his subjects that he cannot avoid
takin. underhandedly some part. Should he seri-
ously attempt to prevent succors from reaching
the Emir il would weaken his influence, already on
the wane, and in case the French are compelled to
give up their possessions, place Abdel-Kader upon
the united thrones of Agiers and Morocco.
1t i. well known that assistance has been furnish
| ed in arms money and ammunition to the Agernes,
from Morocco, and the French have made strong and
repeated remonstrances upon the subject, 10 all of
which, they of course, receive fair words and pro-
misses Ihave heard il boosted Of that the Arabs
were using against the French, guns fought in
France, which have come from the emperor of Mo-
rocco " no some time since, while engaged in a war
with rebellious tribe, called the Ziahs, purchased
two thousand muskets through the agency Of the
French consul at Tanger. Ii is reported here that
he is still in vast of arms although his own kingdom
is quiet and il is doubt true that he has made APP

(no less than agent OF aei-kader) that slmi-

little island upon this coast, for naval depot,

piled that the Einir could undoubtedly purchase as
many arms he should choose to send money to pay
for bat that he could not be an agent IN the affair.
This answer not proving satisfactory to the Emir,
he has solved 20 address the United States govern

By far the NEST important is that just receiv

ing the emperors intention visit his sorthern
ports immediately with a numerous arm,. The
movement has undoubtedly relation to French Affairs
and j. SO hougbt by the Noors themselves. The late

pretender to the throne Of Turkey, excites great
/ deal of remark. This Nader Bey Is well known

For some reason not known he left this service and

since. he arrived at Tsngier with English passports
and with letters to the sultan, when he
assumed the Mshomedsn dress and gave out that he

and even il they, had Musselman one pretending
