| ABD-EL-KADER.-We learn from information
upon whichwe think some reliance can be placed,
| that Abd-el- kader renounces for the present any
intention Of again invading the interior Of the ter
ritory of Algeria. This decision is said to have
| been come to in consequence of the state of the
misery into which the last instruction plunged
the tribes who took part in it, and the conviction
of the Emir that all his efforts would be useless
against the multiplicity OF our columns and their
new organization, which permits them for tho flu
ture to reach him in the most difficult mountains
| and in the NEST distant valleys On the other
hand, at the moment when the last courer was
| leaving Tlemcen, report was current that ADD
of the Ghosses. Gen. Cavaignac has ha stoned to-
wards the territory of this tribe in order to protect
it if necessary, from the projects Of the Emir.-
Notwithstanding all his efforts the Emir has not
been able to rally to his standard the Hachems
and Beni-Amers who were encamped IN the
neighborhood OF Fee. The agitation which reigns
