FRANCE AND ALGIERS.

The only part OF continental Europe from
which the news this week is of much impor'
lance is France. The expedition of Marshal Val
lee to reduce Abde Kader, and the ns,rgent
Arab tribes, has hee1, SO far, unsuccessful. in.
deed most disastrous. With the comn,anl of
the sea- and finely appointed army of sixty
thousand men, the moment the Marshal quits
the coast, he is surrounded by flying corps of
mounted Arabs who cut off all his comnnnca.
TONS seize his conveys, massacre his wounded
and press OH every exposed point. Fanataclsm
and TINT high personal courage, aud intense ha'
.red o strangers, for which the Arabs have al
ways been remarkable, supply the want of arms
aud discipline. The Arabs are always, of course
beaten when the French come mp with them in
force. hut no sold advantage is gained, and the
sacrifice OF life is enormous The whole coun'
try is ravage,l by the enemy, agriculture, put a
stop to. and no Frenchman's life is safe beyond
the walls Of fortified position. 1t is stated that
the French mean TO change their plan of opera :
tons, and to inrlose small territory, by con-
tinuo,is line Of fortified posts. This will prob
ably he prelude to abandoning this Troublesome

ting details otan atrocious attempt to assassi'
nate Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, while
they were taking nm airing in the Royal Gar

attempt WINS committed by young man named
Edward Oxford, who was employed in stable
at Hounslow. The Queen and Prince Albert
were riding in carriage. The young man fir.
ed Two pistols AT the coach, neither OF which
took effect. He was immediate ly seized by n
police constable, and confessed his murderous
design. The reasons which induced him TO at
tempt this bold deed, do not appear.
Mrs Oxford, the mother of the prisoner, who
appears dreadfully affected, kept II coffee shop
i'm the Waterloo road about three years since: she
states that her husband who had been dead IL

IMPORTANT INTELLIGENCE FROM
CHINA.
Intelligence from China was warlike Ac.
counts were received i'm London that the En-
peror of China had ordered the suspension Of
all trade with foreign nations, aud had given to
Lin II directionary power to act without Whiting
for further orders from Pekn.
Several attempts had been made to burn the
British ships, hut had failed.
The troops TO form the expedition against
China were embarked mt Madras the 18th
OF April, and all the other preparatory measures
were in progress.
On their side the Chinese displayed activity
and determination. The accounts state that an
order OF the Emperor for suspendng trade
with all foreign nntions, without exception, reach
ed Canton on the 18th Of February. The EN-
peror moreover, ordered Commissioner Lin to
give effect that nterdict, without referring to
the Government at Pekin. Several attempts to
burn tho British fleet, in Tongkoo Bay were
made by the Chinese, but they miserably fail.
ed.
Many Chinese families were flying from Ma.
Goa.
In The mean liino spirit of discomfort and
rebel lion among the inhabitants of Pekin and
of the second capital, Monkdeu, had excited con
siderable alarm, and several of The ,nandarlns
have been DEGRADED, for having neglected 70
seize the criminals,
Governor Lin has enlisted abont 5000 recruits
who nre being drilled daily near Canton, in the
military erercisc Of the bow, the spear, and the
double sword. The latter is II weapon peculiar
we believe, 10 China. Each soldier is armed
with two short and straight swords +,
one in ench hand, which, by being Knocked a.
gainst each other. produce II clangour, which 1t
is thought will intimidate the enemy.

dustriously circulating, viz: that hore have been
no changes from Van Buren, 10 Harrison in this

liens that we can no longer be regarded friends

deem sufficient to satisfy former political
friends for the course have adopted
We do MT believe national debt "A national
blessing. We do not believe the price of labor in
this free country should be reduced to the standard
prescribed by dospots in foreign countries. We do
not believe in exclusive metallic currency, a
standing army safe protection IN republican
government; but on the contrary, that they will en-
danger the liberties of our country. We do not be
liave in suh-troasury, in placing the sword and
purse in the hands of the executive, that Off
GERS of the government should receive all the gold
and silver and the people the paper.
We do believe VIM. Ii. HARRISON to be an hon

We personally acquainted with most of these

TO their standing among their fellow citizens. The
list embraces professional man -four mechanics,
and nine farmers. No one Of them covets office or

In addition to this list, have the names of
nearly many more in the same town, who will
