terzes you, and which is the pride and Joy of
your friends, you will hurl the mountains into
the sea- A cause so holy can never perish, and
engages the sympathies not only of all Catholics
but OF all the honest men in the world"
i The usual weekly meetings of this association
took place on Monday, July 18th. Mr.. James
Kelly, the newly elected Roman Catholic and
Repeal member for the city of Limerick, was call
ed to the chair, and addressed the meeting at some
length Mr.. M. ]. O'Connell handed in f4S
from the Repealers of London and in doing so
alluded to the great consolation which the pre-
sence of Mrs. ]. O'Connel and her four interest,"
ing children afforded not only to her husband, but
to her father-in-aw, Mr.. O'Connell, and indeed
to all the traversers The lady and her family
had taken up their permanent abode in the prison.
MIR. ID. O'Connell Jr, announced that his father
and all the prisoners were in excellent health
He concluded by stating that his father had
scarcely any hope that the writ of error would be
decided in his favor, and he was glad it was so,
because it would show them the necessity OF
depending on themselves. Mr.. H. Grattan, M.
P, addressed the meeting, and the rent was an
nounced to exceed El,7O0, including several sums
from America.
FRANCE, MOROCCO, AND ALGIERs.
The Prince de Joinve has arrived with his
squadron at The Court of Morocco and has taken
possession of the town of Ouchda The object of
the expedition is TO strike terror into the ranks of
the Emperor of Morocco, and compel him to
maintain peaceable relations with France.
FRANCE, Morocco AND ALGIERs I'VE stated
in our last, that the Prince de Joinvie had sailed
from Toulon at the head of squadron of three
sail of the line, frigate and four steamers. The
Prince has arrived at Oran with his fleet, and
Immediately despatched captain of engineers to
The Moniteur has published two dispatches from
Marshal Bugeaud, one dated June 18th, the other
June 9th. We give the most important:
son the 18th, | informed the Morocco chief
that was about to march on Ouchda, but that |
still offered the conditions proposed by me before
the battle of the l5th he replied Practically, but
without coming to any conclusion. On the 10Th
| entered Ouchda without firing shot The
Morocco troops had retired about two days before
in the greatest disorder. Discord reigns among
the chiefs, and indiscpne among the soldiers.
This smali army appears to be dissolved Ouchda
will be respected. / shall leave it on the Dist,
taking with me about 1900 persons of the popu-
lation Of Tlemcen and the remnant of the Deyza,
who were retained by force and are DESTROYS Of
following u.s."
Ouchda is small place containing about 1000
inhabitants, sixteen leagues from Tlemcen. The
struck terror into the Emperor of Morocco, who
is now anxious for peace; the result has also dis
appointed Ab.del-Kadar, who attached considera
Bile Importance TO the supposed nvncbe courage
OF the Emperor's guards. An entrenched camp
is now established by the French a. DIANA Ga.
Gonna, which will protect the French frontier of
Lower Tafna. True to his promises, Marshal
Bugeaud left the miserable little town of Ouchda
and took up his position in the above place. The
entrenched camp is prophetic of war; the evacu-
aion of the Moorish village is Indicative of peace
The probability, however, is that the matter will
be satisfactorily settled between France and Mo-
rocco. Thus spoke M. Guizot on the subject, in
the Chamber of Deputies, few days since
The government and population Of Morocco
must be made to feel the power of France, and
be made to understand that the present state of
things on the frontiers of Oran can not last We
must receive, both by acts and formal conven-
tons, guarantees that such state Of things shall
not be renewed. | have the honor of repeating
to the Chamber that all measures have been
taken by sea and land to insure that result. The
reinforcements required by Marshal Bugeaud
have been, or will be, sent to him. The naval
forces placed under the command of one of our
princes are sufficient to produce along the coast
of Morocco the effect which we must seek
"The government is actuated by no desire for

ritory Of Algeria sufficient for the ambition of
France. ever regarded the conquest of Algeria
as an immense advantage to France but am
at the same time convinced that it would be in
sane to nurture views of aggrandsement and
conquest. We disclaim all designs of the kind.
That which we demand from the emperor of Mo-
rocco, and which we have right toNexpect from
him, is peace and security on our frontier"
In the Chamber of Peers, M. Gnizot made
similar statement.
An article has appeared in the Journal des De-
bats, attributed to M. Guizot, as to the origin of
the misunderstanding, from which it would APP
pear that the emperor was embroiled in hosiIities
through the intrigues of Add Ell Kader, against
his will. 1t seems that Jew, who acted as
Spanish consul, shot man in quarrel, for which
he was executed. Spain demonstrated, and
France joined in the retnonstrance, and rurnors
we're industriously circulated that both powers
were about to invade Morocco, and the Emperor
was advised to declare holy war, which, how
he. Il Il IL
