The Release of Abd-cl .Kadcr.

[Frcm the London Times Oct 90
Among the many particulars of the late quasi i'm
rerial progress recorded in succession Of flaming
bulletins III the ''non oiicaI' part Of the MoatcW
ono episode was etudiously reserved till the happy
moment for giving it to the world 1t Is only just
announced that the President stopped at the Cha.
Of his approaching release from captivity. An in
cdent so picturesque as well so graceful cannot
but be regarded with great admiration even though
We might lie disposed to criticize the terms in which
the announcement was made, or to suspect further
motives than simple faith and blind generosity If
the Arab chief is now to enjoy real libertyif his
future Turkish guardians do not suffer for their
formidable ward-if Algeria continues to enjoy
scheme Of ambition is to rice out of this roman
tic beginning. then the interview of Louis Napoleon
with Add ell kader viii furnish the painters with
a subject moro really interesting than any that
covers the vast walls of Versailles Those vast
paroramas of armies routed, camps pilaged, and
cities taken by assault that furnish the Parisians
with such appropriate subjects of Sunday contem-
plation will conclude better than their subjects de-
serve in this simple Simple it is, no vever,
it is scarcely possible to exhaust its significant as
poets Louis Napoleon, if we can suppose him af-
iected by anything but the result Of coolblooded
calculation might well BIO moved to this act by the
recollection of the man who died in captivity, aud
whose disasters he is the point to repair; he
might well be moved by the recollection of what he
had suffered himself AS the heir of a captivity rs
well as Of throne, he might feel even more than
was polite for an illuetTious and high-minded
prisoner. If to this sentiment were added n
natural desire to adorn with such grace rs
could be found his assumption Of imperial power,
and to avert by a happy omen tho por-
tents that darken the path Of an usurpcr, that
could still detract little from the dignity Of this
markshe act. BY one Englisbman, at least, we
shall expect to hear it described in the most glowing
colors The Marquis Of Londonderry, lust rendered
happy with the blue riband Of the Great Duke, will
find his happiness, IL possible, augmented by the
