3fottoceo AND BAREARY.—The Prince De Joinville has bombarded at least one more town on the coast of Morocco ; Marshal Bugeand has gained another victory on its inland frontier. We begin with the proceedings of the Royal Admiral ; who has bombarded Mogador, as set forth in this telegraphic despatch-

" The Prince De Toinville to the Minister of the Navy.

Mogador, 17th August.

" On the 15th we attacked Mogador. After having destroyed (derase) the town and its batteries, we took possession of the island and of the port. " Seventy-eight men, including seven officers, have been wounded or killed. I am engaged in establishing the garrison of the island. I have put the port in a state of blockade."

To make the scanty accounts at all intelligible, some description of the place is necessary. Mogador was founded in 1760, by the Emperor Maley Mohammed, in order to have a commercial port at the maritime port nearest to his capital ; from which it is distant about a hundred and twenty miles. The town is called Suera ; and it contains about 14,000 inhabitants, among whom are scarcely a score of Europeans. It consists of a citadel and an outer town : the Government buildings and foreign fac- tory are in the citadel. It is situated near a fertile and healthy tract of country, on a sandy peninsula, which at high tides is nearly insulated. The port is formed by a curve in the shore, and by the island, which really bears the name of Mogador—after a saint, Sidi-Mogodoul, whose tomb is near Suera : the island is about a quarter of a mile from the shore, about three quarters of a mile long, and two miles in circumfer- ence. It is fortified with a "strong" castle. The port contains only ten or twelve feet of water at ebb-tide; and large vessels usually anchor

In the roads, about a mile and a half West of the town; the battery ex- tending to the West. Shifting sands and violent gales also embarrass the navigation. The place was fortified under the direction of a French- man ; but the fortifications have been accounted more pretty than strong, and they were in bad repair.

The three large ships took up their positions, and began to fire at the works, at half-past two o'clock : they could not get very close ; the Belle Poule frigate and a brig went in closer, and then the steamers. The Times says, that, with a view to the shallowness of the port, "some light vessels, called brie canonieres, carrying four guns, were prepared some time ago in one of the principal French arsenals, and ordered to join the squadron. These gun-boats were to be placed under the com- mand of an officer well known for his services on the coast of Africa, late Governor of Senegal, who probably supplied the French Govern- ment with the requisite information as to the state of the harbour of Mogador. If these facts are accurate, as we believe they will turn out to be, it is probable that the bombardment was commenced by the gun- boats; and that under the shelter of their fire a landing was effected on an island situated at the mouth of the harbour, from which it became practicable to bring a heavier battering-train to bear upon the city. The nature of this mode of attack will also explain the very considerable loss of men which appears to have attended the action." The British steamer Hecla left the roads at half-past ten o'clock p.m. on the 15th, and heard the firing up to eleven o'clock. This must have been between the people on shore and the French steamers and other smaller vessels ; as the large ships were towed off to the regular anchorage-ground about sun- set. Towards night, movements that indicated a landing on the island were observed. The Moors offered a spirited resistance : they did not wait for the French fleet to form, but fired on the ships while taking up their positions.

Heavy cannonading was heard by the people of the Spanish coast on the 12th, when the French were supposed to be attacking A zzila, and on the 14th; but a letter from Lloyd's agent at Gibraltar, written on the 18th, positively asserts that no other town had been attacked.

The Gibraltar correspondent of the Times says, that the actual extent of injury inflicted on Tangier by the bombardment has been ascer- tained, and the truth proves to lie between the opposite extremes of "trifling injury" and "levelling to the ground" described by different reports- " A breach was not, it may be presumed, intended, and none was made; and the old rubble walls, which many thought would have been shaken down by the first broadside, stood it wonderfully. Injury to parapets there has been ; and though in other ways divers have been the wounds inflicted on works of other days, there has been no crumbling down of walls after a shot ; the balls, on the contrary, either lodged quietly in the walls or passed quite through. The num- ber of guns dismounted or otherwise rendered unserviceable may have amounted to about twenty. With the exception of the kind now and then to be seen in old fortresses, made of iron bars bound round with strong hoops, almost every variety of gun may be seen on the works—Dutch, Flemish, English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Moorish, &c. It would seem as if the Mosque had at- tracted the particular attention of marksmen, its body having received many shots. Its tower, however, from the summit of which the famous hymn of the Mussulman has so often plaintively gone forth, remained unscathed, though on its right and on its left buildings had suffered very much."

The reports are confirmed that the Emperor had agreed to all the demands of Spain, even to the beheading of the offending Bey ; that he had consented to pay the expense of the Spanish armament, and to grant to Spain a territory of three leagues round Ceuta. The Spanish war- ships had sailed from Tangier for Algesiras. The Emperor and one of his sons were encamped about a mile from Tangier.

On the inland frontier, Marshal Bugeaud had achieved a signal success ; also communicated by the telegraphic despatch-

" The Governor-General of Algeria to the Minister of Ffrar.

"Bivouac of Koudiat-Abd-er-Ralunan, the 14th.

"Raving marched against the Moorish army, which was daily becoming stronger and more threatening to Algeria, I encountered it on the 14th, at two leagues in advance of its camp. " It assumed the offensive with 20,000 borse,itt the moment when our tetes- de-colonnes were crossing the Isly. We were enveloped on all sides. We have obtained the most complete victory. Our infantry, which was of extreme solidity, and also our cavalry, achieved prodigies of valour.

" We successively took all the camps ; which would cover a space of more than a league. Eleven pieces of cannon, sixteen standards, between a thousand and twelve hundred tents—one of them belonging to the Emperor's son, his parasol, the badge of his command, all his personal baggage, a large quantity of war ammunition, and immense booty, have remained in our power. " The enemy have left about 800 dead on the field of battle. Oar losses, although severe, (sensibles,) are light for so brilliant an action; which we shall call the battle of 'sly." The Siècle blames the Government for not publishing fuller despatches, which it had received ; and professes to give the substance- " The Marshal communicates the information he had obtained respecting the Moorish army. It consisted of 24,000 cavalry, occupying four camps on one of the wings; of regular infantry, and a part of the Emperor's guard, forming a corps of 10,000 men, occupying at the centre a camp as extensive, says the Marshal, as that of his whole army ; and lastly, 10,000 irregular troops, occupying four other camps on the other wing. The enemy had eleven pieces of ordnance, guns of large calibre, field-pieces and mortars, served by renegades of all nations. By comparing these details with the despatch of the 14th rela- five to the battle, which we yesterday published, it will be seen that it is the enemy's whole artillery that has fallen into our hands. The telegraphic des- patch, which is dated by the Marshal the 16th, and from Toulon yesterday, the 25th, announces that the moral effect produced by the victory of Isly has been immense in Morocco and Algeria. The Marshal declares that he no longer requires the reinforcements he had demanded; a circumstance which had not been suffered to transpire. Lastly, reverting to the bravery and energy displayed by the French army on that glorious day, the Governor-General says that the enthusiasm natural to our soldiers when they march to the enemy, had been increased by the news of the bombardment of Tangier, which reached him a short time before he engaged the enemy."

A letter fom Oran, written on the 17th, supplied some further details of this important battle- " On the 14th, Marshal Bugeaud, having no longer any hope of bringing the negotiations with Morocco to a friendly termination, and seeing the army, under the orders of the son of the Emperor, was augmenting daily, resolved to attack the Morocco camp, which had besides, on the 11th, sent some hundred sharpshooters to fire upon our outposts. As soon as his movement commenced, the Morocco army deployed, and in a short time our little army was surrounded by more than 25,000 cavalry. The action commenced in pretty good order, and the artillery of the two camps opened the combat. The artillery of the Moors, which was much more numerous than ours, was pretty well pointed. The affair being undecided, the Marshal ordered a general charge of cavalry ; and in a few instants our horsemen arrived close to the guns of the enemy, which are said to have been more than forty in number. Eleven remained in our hands. The infantry came up in double quick time, and the victory de- clared itself on our side. The Moors were completely routed, and only sought safety in flight. The French had about two hundred put hors de combat. Among the killed and wounded were several officers. It was in the evening of the 10th that Marshal Bugeaud was informed of the bombardment of Tangier. We learn from the frontier that the people of Morocco, encamped not far from the army, have abandoned their territory, leaving the ground covered with rich crops."

Perhaps because so much urged, Government allowed some of the Mar- shal's despatches, or extracts from them, to be published on Wednesday. They are dated on the 1 lth and 13th, before the battle, and add little to the information conveyed above ; except that, in alluding to the movements of the fleet, Marshal Bugeaud says that the Prince DeJoin- ville had learned the result of Mr. Hay's mission before the bombard- ment of Tangier.

On the passage in the Siècle, the Morning Chronicle, blending as- sertion of fact with innuendo, observes- " It appears that it is not from weakness that Marshal Bugeaud does not march into the interior, and thus put an end to the war at once. He threat- ened some time since to march forward with the troops then under his com- mand; and he wrote a taunting letter to the Prince De Joinville, in which he expressed a hope that he had come to the coast of Africa, not to make holyday expeditions at Gibraltar and Cadiz, but to collperate seriously with him against the Moore. The Government immediately sent off Colonel Foy to Marshal Bugeaud's camp, with instructions to the Marshal to fight the Moors as often as he liked, but to confine his operations to the frontier. The effect of the new instructions is very evident ; for while Marshal Bugeaud beats the Moors in Africa, the Journal des Debuts announces in Paris that any further opera- tions in the interior of Morocco are to be postponed till next spring. The taking of Mogador will therefore have no effect in concluding the war. It is not intended it should do so. The only effect of it will be to drive the people of Morocco to desperation; for it will show them that they have no mercy to ex- pect from France, and no hope of assistance from England." The Portafoglio Maltese of the 11th instant states that four French ships of the line, the Ocean, Marengo, Neptune, earl:Jupiter, under the orders of Admiral Perceval Deschenes, had appeared before Tunis for the purpose of settling the boundary question between that country and Algeria, and also of compelling the Regent of Tunis to come to an arrangement respecting his own frontier on the side of Tripoli The object of the sailing of this fleet was always reported to be connected with the movement of a Turkish squadron which was rumoured to be destined for Tunis. That squadron, however, it now appears, was lying quiet enough at Beyrout, and not likely to move for some time to come.

The line-of-battle ship Inflexible, forming part of the division sent to Tunis, had just been ordered to join the Prince De Joinville's squadron.

EGYPT.—The French telegraphic despatch made known in London on Saturday afternoon, that Mehemet Ali had renounced his threatened abdication of the Pachalic ; and the French mail brings the connecting portion of the narrative. The correspondent of the Times professes to know one exciting cause of the sudden displeasure which provoked the Pacha's incomprehensible movement- " His Highness had, with a view of bettering the condition of the fellatio, instructed the Council at Cairo to devise some means of improving their state; and they consequently took upon themselves at once, without consulting him, to cancel the arrears of taxes due by a number of towns and villages, to the amount of 75,000 purses (375,0000 ; by which the greater number of the members of Council themselves, who are extensive proprietors of land, and who are responsible for the arrears due, would be benefited, whilst the state of the country-people would not be improved, and the Pacha's own revenue would be sensibly impaired. The intelligence of this step having been taken by the Council was not communicated directly to the Viceroy, who beard of it only some time after through his daughter, the widow of the late Defterdar Bey; and his Highness was consequently very much annoyed by this proceeding."' Mehemet landed at the Shoubra Palace, near Cairo, on the 28th July, the day after he left Alexandria. He was very sullen on the journey; and would not speak, nor admit any to share his meals. Two physicians went on board his steamer by stealth. In that state of mind he con- tinued for some time; and it is surmised that he was conscious of im- paired understanding. However, feeling better, he received Ahmed Pacha and Sherif Pacha, his War and Finance Ministers ; and then his son Said Pacha, who had brought the Viceroy's youngest children from Alexandria. Said also brought a letter from the foreign Consuls, to Arlin Bey, asking information as to provision for the proper govern- ment of Egypt: Mehemet sent a verbal reply, virtually telling the Consuls to mind their own business. He is said to have intended to convene a meeting of the Pachas, Beys, and other notables, at Cairo; but subsequently he consented to return to Alexandria; and on the 741 instant a steamer was despatched from that city to meet him at Ade.

Some apprehension was entertained at Alexandria lest the Nile should not rise high enough this year to produce good crops. Letters from Constantinople, of the 7th instant, state that the intelli- gence from Alexandria had produced a lively sensation in the Turkish capital. The Ministers immediately met in council, at the country- seat of the Grand Vizier; and the result of their deliberation was, that Masloum Bey, the Minister of Justice and Charge d'Affaires of Me- hemet Ali, should repair forthwith to Alexandria, to inquire into the real situation of affairs. Diadem Bey accordingly embarked on the 7th, in a French steamer.

A libel on the Minister of Finance having been received in Constan- tinople by the packet, and profusely circulated, Baron de Bourqueney had given permission to the Ottoman police to examine all the brochures arriving by the French mail, and to seize such as it might disapprove of on account of their political character.

FRANCE.—The Paris journals continue to be occupied with exulta- tion at the progress of French arms in Africa and anger at the com- ments of the English papers. As good a specimen as any of the pre- valent spirit, is this passage in the National, about the letters of the " British officers" in the Times- " The insolent correspondence published by the English journal has excited at Paris the utmost indignation. We have received a large number of letters in which that feeling is expressed with the utmost energy ; and most of those who write to us suggest more or less practicable means of putting a stop to a lan- guage of tavern-bullies (‘casseurs d'assiettes trop fanfarons.') One, an officer of our army, hopes that our naval officers will find out in the Warspite the writers of the letters; and that, in the absence of a general war, they will individually prove to them that the French are neither cowards nor clumsy fellows. Another, a captain in the navy, mentions several occasions on which bullies of the same description have been chastised. An artist suggests that the quarrel be de- cided between a small number of ships-of-the-line and frigates of both nations. We do not publish these letters, and many others, all of which are impressed with an over-excited national feeling. Contempt is the only thing that such coarse language deserves. But those who have held it must not he sought for, nor any acts of revenge be resorted to against them. Let the London writers indulge all their instincts: the liberty of the press will have it thus ; and, cer- tainly, the journal that sullies its columns with such insolent diatribes injures none but itself."

The Siècle warns its countrymen not to deceive themselves, for Eng- land is preparing for war : and it institutes a comparison between the naval power of each. After various figures, the journalist comes to these conclusions as to the force that each country could bring forward in a war—" At the first shock, England 18 ships-of-the-line ; France 14. After six months, England 30 ships ; France 20 to 22. After one year, England 36 to 40; France only 20 to 22, because the ships we have on the stocks are not sufficiently advanced to be finished in a year." In the steam-marine, England could produce 48 vessels, with a power of 15,757 horses ; France 43 ships, with a power of 7,340 horses : but the French steam-marine is increasing, and at the end of the year could produce 60 vessels, with a power of 12,000 horses, not reckoning the steamers in the Levant. On all this the Siècle remarks- " That, no doubt, is an unpleasant inferiority ; but it is compensated by the necessity under which the English labour in being obliged to defend various points against our attacks. These comparisons are not of a nature to excite alarm. If peace be maintained, notwithstanding the irritation existing on the other side of the Channel, it will be by the consideration that we have the means of defending ourselves successfully against England. Our neighbours, brave as they be, are not persons to undertake an affair in which they would have too much risk to incur. The English Admiralty is arming six ships-of- the-line : let US in our turn arm, and take advantage of the victory which crowns our arms to make friends by obtaining justice from the Moor for Sweden, Den- mark, and particularly for Spain. Spain is our natural ally; but it is parti- cularly in Morocco that her interests are identified with ours. Let us forget nothing—let us neglect nothing. During fourteen years right has been on our side, and insolence on that of our adversaries. Let France, therefore, have confidence in her right as well as in her courage!"

Respecting the settlement of the Tahiti question, the journals con- tinue to publish daily reports, and to contradict each other as fast. Among the rumours is one, that the British Government had instructed Lord Cowley to demand his passports, unless M. Bruat and M. D'Au- bigny should both be recalled, with public reparation ; while M. Guizot demurs to the recall of M. Bruat, and to the publicity. The Revue de Paris says that M. Guizot proposes to make Tahiti an independent state under Queen Poniard ; France and Great Britain to be on a foot- ing of equality, with Consuls accredited to the Queen ; the French expedition to be recalled, and Mr. Pritchard not to be continued as Consul. There is nothing to show for the credibility of any one among these statements, whether the reports or their contradictions.

That which has the greatest aspect of authenticity is a paper in the Paris Globe, a semi-official journal ; whose remarks we abridge.

No note has passed between the British and French Governments. The dispute could have been settled by a quarter of an hour's conversation, had not Sir Robert Peel indiscreetly pledged himself, in Parliament, to obtain satisfac- tion from France. An English subject had excited disturbances on a territory belonging to France : he was seized and expelled from that territory : France had a right to do so, and no reparation could be required in that respect. But whilst the French authorities were justified in expelling that English subject, there were forms to be observed. Lieutenant D'Aubigny did not observe them ; and his superior, Captain Bruat, has blamed him for it. The French Government, therefore, cannot refuse to sanction the censure already passed on M. D'Aubigny's useless rigour; but the French Government can do no more—it cannot disavow M. Bruat. At a Cabinet Council on the previous day, Ministers had decided to take their stand upon that ground. There was no doubt that the British Government would be satisfied with what France could honourably grant, if the affair had not been magnified, and if Sir Robert Peel could place such a termination of it before the British Parliament. Ile must be the judge of that ; and it ought not to be feared that Sir Robert Peel would redeem an Imprudent expression by conduct which would be still more impru- dent. "Cabinets like his exist by honourable conduct, and not by obstinacy ; and there is too much good sense in the two countries for us to entertain any serious apprehension as to the issue of such a miserable difficulty."

The National relates an incident at a grand dinner given by the Na- tional Guard, in the Operahouse, on Tuesday, to officers of the line who had superintended the military instruction of the several metro- politan legions-

" We learn tonight, that a last toast was to have been drunk by an officer, to the French Navy, to the squadron of Tangier and Mogador, and to the Admiral commanding it. The toast, we are told, was to have been proposed with a very energetic reply to the abuse lavished by the English on our officers and flag. Some friends of England, as would appear, were afraid of the expres- sion of such sentiments disturbing the cordiale entente. By means of a long rolling of the drums, they prevented the toast. This ridiculous and brutal proceeding produced some disturbance in the assembly ; which separated mur- muring."

According to the Courrier Francais, enthusiastic applause was be- stowed on the chorus in the opera of Charles the Sixth-

., Guerre aux tyraus 1 Jamais en Frauce-

Jamais reguera."

Several Paris papers give contradictory reports as to the time of Louis Philippe's visit to England : the Times says emphatically, "Our private letters announce a fact that will be learned with regret—the King has relinquished his intention of visiting England this year.'

The Constitutionel says—" The King's journey to England is post- poned. Orders, it is said, have been despatched to the ports to delay the preparations. The period at present named for the embarkation is October 17."

The Mon iteur states, that "the King, having been apprized of the death of the Grand Dutchess Alexandra, daughter of the Emperor of 'Russia, went into mourning for eight days."

It was reported in Paris on Tuesday, that Marshal Soult was to resign the office of Minister of War, but that he had consented to remain as

President of the Council without a portfolio. General Schneider was mentioned as likely to be appointed Minister of War.

We have forwarded to Dublin the numerous addresses which have reached us from the different parts of France, together with those signed by the Catholics of Paris, expressive of their sympathy for the illus- trious prisoner of Richmond, (O'Connell) A respectable clergyman, called by private affairs to the capital of Ireland, kindly offered to take charge of them, to hand to Mr. O'Connell this testimonial of admiration of Catholic France.—Univers.

Poaronsr...—The Lisbon mail brings intelligence to the 21st instant. The recent arbitrary measures of the Government were the subject of animated discussion. The Ministerial paper admitted that the decree of the 1st instant was "unquestionably an act of dictatorship." The Judges of the several tribunals in Lisbon had emphatically protested against it, in petitions to the Queen, as unconstitutional and illegal, in- vading alike legislative and judicial functions.

"That of the Tribunal of Justice," says the correspondent of the Morning Chronicle, "carries with it the most weight, and is signed by the whole of its members. Its President, Senhor Jose Silva da Carvalho, was a Prime Minister in 1820, and a Minister of Justice in 1833; a man of moderate views, a strong and consistent supporter of the present Minis- try, well known as one of the party of Don Pedro, who most materially contributed to the establishment of his daughter's rights. On her Ma- jesty's birthday, (the 16th instant,) Senhor Jose Carvalho presented him- self at the levee, at Cintra, and informed her Majesty of his having trans- mitted through the proper channel of the Secretary of State department the petition of the Supreme Tribunal of Justice. He stated that he had a copy of that document, which, if her Majesty permitted, he would place in her hands. Her Majesty replied, that as the original address had been delivered to her Mi- nister, to be presented to her, there was no necessity for the document referred to. There the matter ended. The following day every person of distinction who attended the levee, with the exception of Senhor Jose Silva da Carvalho, was invited to dine at the Palace; and on the day following, this old servant of the Crown, and most faithful adherent of the cause of Don Pedro and of his daughter, was ignominiously dismissed from his office of President of the Su- preme Tribunal of Justice."

The Duke of Palmella had declined to take upon himself the powers which the decree imposed upon the Council of State. On the 19th appeared several other decrees, carrying the chief one into effect, by removing divers Judges from one tribunal to another.

ITALY.—Letters from Leghorn state that Austria is so well aware of the dangerous position to which the evils of Pontifical misgovernment has brought the Papal States, that it has opened negotiations with the Holy See, with a view to the secularization as far as possible of that Government. The Court of Rome resists ; and it is said that the Austrian Government, foreseeing that circumstance, has addressed the French Cabinet, to invite it to join with Austria, Naples, and Tuscany, to oblige the Pope to make such reforms as the safety of Italy may de- mand. The King of Sardinia is not included in the negotiation; from which it is supposed that he is opposed to it.

GREECE.—The French Government received this official communi- cation, on Wednesday— "Athens, August 20.—M. Mavrocordato and his colleagues have resigned, and their resignation has been accepted. The King has empowered M. Coletti to form a new Administration. The elections for Athens have been suspended for some days. The city is perfectly tranquil." King Otho has granted an amnesty to all who were engaged in in- surrectional disturbances in Acarnania and Western Greece during the months of May and June last, excepting to certain persons ; the royal clemency being reserved to those persons after trial, if need be.

NORTH ATIERICA.—The Caledonian mail-steamer arrived at Liver- pool yesterday morning, having left Boston on the 16th and Halifax On the 18th instant. The news from the United States possesses little inte- rest. The Whigs and Democrats both profess to have excellent pros- pects for the Presidential election ; but the New York Herald observes that the country is prosperous, and is bound to go ahead, and that it matters little whether Clay or Polk be President. The most stirring matter was a dispute among the Jews at New York, about the right of voting within their own community on secular and religious questions. The Hebrews were divided into two parties, the "Old Aristocratic" or English Jews, and " Young Israel," or the Democratic Jews native to the Union ; and the quarrel had grown so hot that Police had been stationed to preserve peace in the Synagogue.

From Canada there is nothing definite. It is said that a Ministry was to be formed in the middle of next month, the Provincial Parliament to meet in October; or else Parliament would be dissolved, in order to a new election.

Mexico was still preparing for war upon Texas. An army of 15,000 men was collecting ; but Congress has not hit upon a plan of raising 4,000,000 dollars granted for the expedition.
