| THE WAR BRTwERN FRANCE AND MoRccco.-
| The Prince de Joinvlle has followed up the bonn.
| bardment of Tangier by the bombardment aud oc
struction of towns and FORTS he took possession
ofthe island and port. On this occasion the Moors
| do not appear to have awaited the attack of the
| French, but to have fired upon them before they
according to the French accounts, is, that seventy
| eight men, OF whom seven were officers, have
been killed and wounded
| Meanwhile, the military arm of France has moi
| been inactive. On the 14tl, Marshall BugeauC
achieved a complete victory, at Isly, over the
| Moors, 800 OF whom were left dead upon the field
| He took from a thousand to twelve hundred tents
eleven pieces OF artillery, sixteen stand Of colors
| If the emperor's son, and an Immense booty.
| Renforcements are expected in consequence o
| the con of the emperor having joined the Moorish
camp, and the probability Of the troops, of which
| he was said to be IN command, having accom-
panied him but the French prints protest that it j!
no part OF the present policy of France to appro
pirate any portion of the Moorish territory 1t j:
supposed that the emperor has been procrastinatne
i nuf in taft inn hat he m.
| preaching bad season would Overtake the French
expedition, and put end TO Its operations before
| the conquest of the empire could be effected -
i The rapidity OF the combined movements Of the
| Prince de JcInville and Marshal Bugeaud have
| however, completely foied this purpose, and the
probability now is, that by the next despatch We
| shall hear of the emperor having accepted the
| terms proposed by France.
| The French prints are excessively wroth st the
publication in the Times of three letters from nava
officers in the service OF Great Britain, who wit
messed the engagement before Tangier, and which
assures us, that, IN spite OF all that has been done
at late years TO raise France as naval power, the
| mGn6uvres of the Prlace de Joinville at Tangier
show that there is still vast disparity in every
| branch of naval efficiency between the French and
ourselves. Certainly, the propriety of giving pub
| licity to them IS very questionable, not because
they have thrown the war party into Mysteries, but
because they may be offensive TO the French GO
vernment, and increase the obstacles to final and
satisfactory understanding on the Morocco ques
| ton. Some of the Frencn prints declare that the
visit of Louis Philippe to this country is put off,
but we are assured by the Standard that there is
no truth whatever in the rumor, and that his Ma
| jesty may be very shortly expected.
| Marshal Bugeaud is, II is sad 10 be created a
peer by the title OF Count d'Isy The Globe states
! that letter had been received from the Marshal
dated the 18Th, which confirms the report that Alb
| del kader had been seized by the Emperor Of NJ o
| rocco, and would be given up to the French GO
vernnent. The Toulonnais also states that on
hearing of the defeat OF his at s,y, the Emper-
/ Orh had epnf nj a kade
| and that they fell in with him, and made him prs
| oner Another rumor, evidently false, states that
| the French cabinet had get a price Of 1000 600
| francs upon his head II was generally believed
that the Emperor would now accept the terms pro-
| posed to him, the more especially as France is
willing TO adhere To those originally offered. The
Montenr Parisien announces that copies Of the let
