1t is very rare that Gazette has teemed with so
much information as Of late, for our Government,
as general rule, does not like to have its actions,
whether good or bad, made public. The informa-
on in question is chiefly relative to the campaign In
Caucasus but although 1t occupies much space, and
ls interesting enough IN its way, and that is-that
Count WoronZow had followed the mountaineers,
had had several affairs with them, all of which he
was successful, and that finally he succeeded after
some severe combats, fought with desperate courage
on both sides, in capturing the village of Dargo the
residence OF Imam Schannil, chief of all the Mo-
hammedan tribes OF the Caucasus and of the Da-
ghestan. A detail of the military operations by
which this was effected could not be made ntelligi

The Emperor lately issued an ordinance, ordering
small portions of land to be awarded to poor Jews
willing to occupy themselves in agricultural labor;
but the rascally subordinates of the. government

Yet such is the dreadful slavery In which the poor
Jews live, that they dare not complain; for though
the Emperor would instantly see Justice done them,
they would become victims to the cruelty of his
subordinates.

Bugeaud s now on his way TO France on leave OF

Bugeaud being destined to succeed hun in the Mi

carried into execution. For this stretch of power,
the opposition press accuse him of being mad, or at

the government does not take the same view of the
