THE WAK IN AFRICA . The BoMBiBDHKcr of Mcgax > ob _—The following details of ihe bombardment , a telegraphic notice of Yr hidi appeared in our last / is gvren in the Journal dp Debais . MOGjldobHoads , ArGCST 17 . —After having quitted Tacgier , the squadron commanded by hia Royal High ? ness Prince de JoLnville arriTed osthelltb of August I > efore Slog&dor , ¦ with a fresh north ¦ wind , vrhich blew iisrd till the 14 th . Hogadoris situated a hundred and twenty leagues from Tangier , and is the first commercial ctj of Morocco . The town is defended by numerous latteries well armed . The island which forms the port , and -which completely commands the town , is eqaally ffiitiSsd by foor batteries , a rwioubS with a mosque in tbe cestre , a » a a garrison composed of the test txaops of the Emperor . Renegade artillerymen , -who are supposed to be Spaniards , served the batteries
with a precision Tery uncommon among the Moors . On tie 15 th the gale lessened and became more moderate . The 153 vxa fte feasl of the Qusen , and the young Admiral made preparations for celebrating it worthily . At isH-past one o'clock he made signal * to the ship o ! ¦ w ? i to weigh anchor , in order to take np the position be had previously assigned them According to her eastern , tha Saffren Captain Lapierre , -which bore the Admiral ' s flag , anchored nearest the marice batteries , is such a manner as to take them in flink . The Jsmnppes . Captain Montaignie * de la Botqae , the Triton , Captain BJlinser , follo-sring the example of the S- ^ ffren , boldly took up their position ¦ within half cannon shot of the enemy , facing , without answering , the well kept np fire of the port . At three e ' elock these Teasels finished their oparations of mcoring , and their fire opened terribly on ike Moorish batteries , which , in the course of an hoxr , were ruined and abandoned by their
arallery-iBen . Daring this time the Belle Poule , Captain Hnrdoux , moored in the passage itself of the port , whose £ re it silenced , and shortly afterwards the Prince gaTe orders to the G&sssrd , Captain Boque-Maorel , to the Argus , Captain Jean Garard , and to the Yolage , Captin Lsvand , to make for the port itself , and batter gown the three batteries of the isle on their -way , a movement which was executed with akili and preosion . Tee Prince now thought the moment come for trying a descent on t&e isle , and seizing it He , in conse quence , sent the Piuton , Captain Bonet , the Gasssndi , Captain ilaisin , and the Phare , Captain Bonzet , into the port likewise , which , carrying the troops and marines for ths disembarkment , placed themselves between the trigs , outside their Use , and off tbs " lale . They disemh&tked tbei ? men nni&t ih& eoaaaand of Captiin Daquesn * , who seJxad Hie flatahore , and afterwards the battery of the centre of the island .
A warm coMuct took place upon the island , where iCOofthe Emperor's men , « rell ambuscaded behind walls snd rocks , kept up a well sustained fire upon our people- Captain Dnquesne , worthy of his glorious Dime , was wounded in the arm in making a charge with the bsyoaet to dislodge the Jloroccomsn . lieutenant Gonpvent-des-Bois was wounded on the shoulder , near the Prince , who was braving the fire at the head of our troops . Captain Dabadie , one of the King ' s orderly officers , received a ball in his cap while endeavouring to restrain the ardoar of the Prince , whose escape from the shower of balls is almost miraculous After this hot struggle had lasted an hour between our sailors and troops and the enemy , who was well
protected and animated with the courage of despair , since flight was impossible , the Prince made himself master of the island , with the exception of the raoeqne , in which those who escaped fiom our fir a took refuge . Tbe&e capitulated , and the tricolonred fl * g waved triumphantly oTer this key to the port of Mogador . 0 / the Moroccomen , l& 9 of the dead bodies were thrown into the- sea , 60 wounded were taken to be dressed , and 130 were made prisoners . Oa our side we had eight killed , one of them 1 L Potier , an officer , aad 38 ¦ wo unded . The ships and otber vessels of war bad 4 sailors killed and SO wounded by the fire from the enemy ' s batteries . The Jemappes was exposed to the £ re of a hati « 7 of f orty guns , and did not silence it until after she had suffered the mast considerable loss
of life and damage . Snch are tke results of this brilliant attack of the 15 th of Augnst , during which the Prince was at every point fronting the balls and bullets , now on board the Soffcen , mext in the Plnton , -and « p » tt » on shore . On the morning of the 16 th , at the Tery moment tKe Prince gave orders to dismantle the batteries of the isle , which he prepared to evacuate , Capt E- Bonet , Governor of Senegal , arrived , on board the steamer Tdoce , with a division of artillerymen , which he was bringing to the assistance ef the squadron . He wa * the bearer of orders to occupy temporarily the island Of Hoga&oi till the separations demanded tromtbe'EHiperor of Morocco were granted . Sever was arrival more opportune .
In conwquBnce of this new arder , the Prince decided to dismantle more completely the batteries of the town , bj mafcirg a descent upon it that very day . Five hundred men were landed under the command of commander Heraonx , and Governor Ed-jpard Bonet Tbey took possession of it without the least resistance ; 120 pieces of cannon fell into oar hands ; but the Prince , who was there as every where else , ordered moss which jtiU remained to be thrown upon the walls , » ad the Merocco flijs to be bronght , and in the evening ordered us to embark , without entering the town , " » hkh the army bad abandoned . The fire then ceased rvery where .
last night , the English consul , whom the English frigate Warepite , moored near the island , had been vainly demanding of the Morocco authorities for five iisys , was , with several Either Englishmen , received by as boats of the Cassard . The Prince , after hiving j » ia fecm every care ami attention , gave erdtrs to the Bnbis to carry them on board the Warspite , the band of which , on the approach of the JCubis , played the Eit irmsT airs of Franca The Capta-n of the English frigate transmitted to his Royal Highness the most cordial acknowledgments . On the 17 tb , Kabyles of the mountains , perceiving tkat the town was deserted by ft » iloroceomen , and not occupied by us , entered and plundered it It was set fire to at several points , and is sQl "burning , presenting little more than a mass of rains . The 20 . 000 souls teho Inhabited it have alfjUd up tiiecoimlry . Thsluson w complete and terrible . Wili the Emperor learn to profit by it ?
The Battle op Islt . —From the report of Harihil Bageaud we give the following additional particulars of the bloody eoEfliet : — General Bedeau having joined me on the 12 : h with three battalions and six rqasdrons , I advanced on the 13-h , at three ? . jl , feigning to make a grand forage , in order rot to let the enemy understand that it realiy "Sssaa offensive movement- At nightfall tbe foragers retired tfHrirds the columns , and ire encamped in msjchiag order in alienee , and withont lighting fires . At two in the morning I was again in movement .
I pzssed a . first time tbe Iriy , st fiawn , without xx& icg Use enemy . On amvic 5 , ai eight o ' clock is tte mDmiEg , on the heights of I > jnrf-el-Athaar , we perceived all the Moorish camps still in tb « r places , erteoding over the slope of the right bank- All the cavalry coopMing them had moved forward , in order to attack -us at the Becond passage of the river . Amidst B ? 2 ^ 81 ? E £ S stationed on the highest part , we perfectly diitiEguished the group of the Emperor ' s son , Mb fla ^ s aid his pKasol—the badge of his command . ^ rmerous horse defended the passage ; they were ftpti ! j « d by my info try tirailleurs , with some Ices cb both sides , sud I soon reached the plaieau immediately bdow the highest spot were the Emperor ' s son stood . 1 direcUd upon it tie fire of my four field-pieces , and tke utmost confusion was forthwith aanifesUd .
At tbst momeiit Enormous masses of cavalry issued on both sides from the back of the hBl , snd assailed it the saice time my frwo flanks and my rear . It re-TPirea all the solidity of my infantry ; not a man bet ^ 5 ta any weakness . Our tiraHlevrs . who were at osly zkj paces from the tquire * , firmly awaited the inulti-«^ e , -without retiring a single step ; tkey had orders to ^ down if the charge extended to them , in orler not a obstruct the fire of the tquarts . Upon the line of tbt « ep ingles cf the battalions th « artUlery ponred grape The tnejuy ' s masses were stopped , and begun to fcnrn K » Bi- 1 accelerated tkeir retreat , and increased their confusion , by direct ' icg against tbtm my four field pieces ^ bieb marched at the head of the colamn . As soon as I sa-w that the enemy ' s tffurta against my iLmks ¦ Brae brcitn , I continued my march onvarda The great he-ght was carried , and the conversion en tie camps eSscted .
The eneaj ' a cavalry being divided by its own movenests , ana t > y my march , which cat it in two , I deemed the memsni come to make mine issue upon the capital point , wfcicli , in my opinion , was the CMBp I iuppo . ed . 0 be defended by the infantry and artiRtsy . I ordered Colsnel Tartas to echelonirtr his nineteen squadrons by the left , so that his list echt ' on might rest on tht Ktii bank of the lily . Ctkoikel Jasaf commanded the first echelon , trbJch KEEitid of six Egnadrons of Spuhis , very closely apported in the rear by threa squadrons of the 4 ' . h Ckassciirs .
Having put to the s-a-ord a good number of horse , i CcltntiJusuf attacked that immense camp , after re-j ^ Ticg s * V ir J discharg es of artillery ; he found itj ^ ued -with horse and foot Ecldifcrs , who disputed every ; BUj of the srenad .

coured . This jiruggle lasted about half as hour j Uiose six zqnadrens were successively and repeatedly engaged ; our Chasseurs achieved prodigies of valour ; three hundred horse , Berbers or Ablda-Bokhari , fell under their blows . At last , General Sedeaa , commanding the right wing , seeing the immense dasger of the 2 nd Chasseurs was exposed to , detached the battalion of Z ~ mv ? ei f abatta lion of the 15 th light Infantry , and the 8 th battalion of Chasseurtof Orleans , in order to attack the enemy on the aide of the mountains . That movement determined their retreat Colonel Morris then resumed the offensive against them , and executed several successful charges in the pass whereby tbey were retiring ; that pisod « was one of the most vigorous of the day , five hundred and fifty Chasseurs of too Snd eombatted 6 . of the eneiayH csvalry . Each Caasseur brought back a trophy of thb engagement , one a flag , another a horse , ice . &&
The infantry had not been loBg in following to the camp toe first echelon of cavaliy ; the ei ^ emy had rallied in a large mass on the left bank of the Islay , and seemed to prepare to recapture the camp ; the infantry and artillery rapidly crossed it , the artillery placed itself in battery on the right bank , and discharged grape shot on that vast confusion of horse , assembling from all Bides . The infantry then passed the river wider the protection of the artillery ; the Spshis sallied forth , and were then closely followed by the three squadrons of the iih , and the fourth echelon , consisting of two fquadr ^ ns of the 1 st regiment of ICbasieurs , and of two squadrons of the 2 d Hassan , under the command of Colonel Ghumon .
"The Spaais , seeing themselre * well supported by the cavalry and . infantry , re-commenced the attack . The « nemy were vigorously pushed for a league ; their rout became complete . They retired partly by the road of Ta&zi , partly by the -valleys leading to the mountains of . the Beni-Senassen . It was thea noon , the heat was great , the troops of aU arms were greatly fatigued . There was no more baggage nor artillery to take , since all was taken . I ordered the pursuit to cease , and led all the troops back to the Sultan ' s camp . The Moors left on the field of battle at least 800 killed , almost all of them cavalry ; of the infantry , which w&s aot numerous , the greater part escaped from us in consequence of the ravines . This army has besides lost almost all its materiel It must have had from 1 . 500 to 2 . 000 wounded .
Oar loss was : four officers killed and 70 wounded ; and 25 sab-ofSccre and soldiers killed , and 80 wounded . From all accounts of the prisoners and the Arabs , - ?? ho saw the camp of the enemy , their cavalry cannot be calculated at less than 23 . 000 . They shewed themselves vei 5 bald , but tbe confusion rendered their efforts powerless . Tkt hddal ild *< J U > he killed . Ail they wanted to do well , was the force ef combination , and a well constituted infantry to . support their movements . With a government like theirs , it would require several ages to give them the condition of success in battles .
Abd-El Ejldeb . —Letters from Paris state that , in addition to the despatch of Marshal Bageaud in tbe Government papers , another had been received , written four days after the battles , in which the Marshal say « that he had received a communication from the Emperor subsequently to the battle of Islay , in which the Emperor informs him that he had given instructions . to the chiefs of the different provinces to use all the , exertions in their power to seizs upon Abd-el-K » der , and to place him is confinement . Marshall Bugeaud also announces Ms intention of returning forthwith to Oran .
A private letter has also been received by the Government , which positively affirm * that Abd-e 2-K * der bas been made prisoner by the Moors themselves . After the battle of Islay the Maxoquin army , when la f nil retreat and exasperated by their recent defeat , fell in with Afad-el-Kader , who was advancing to the frontier at the head of his troops . They immediatel y took him prisoner , and carried him to Frz , where he is now in close custody . FRANCE . ' The Journal Des Debais repudiates most explicitly the notion that the French Government csntemplated the conquest of Morocco . The Dcbats saysj—The Government has declared in the most solemn manner
that , in repelling an unjust aggression , France did sot intend to make a conquest of Morocco , and form permanent establishments in the country . This declaration has aU Europe for its witness , and our national good faith for its guarantee . We add , that the Opposition itself has become a party to it . It may then be said to be a settled point , a word ol honour by which we ire bound . War , no doubt may compel us to occupy for the moment a port or town belonging to an enemy , or even a point of his territory . We , on this occasion , do occupy the island of Mogador , and the Prince Joinville has landed some troops ; we will go up as far 3 B F . Z , if we should find it necessary ; -we will , in flue , use every means which war affords us ; but they Win be emp' -oyed only for imposing secure terms of peace ,
and not for conquest ; to obtain the reparation and guarantees to which we are entitled , and not to aggrandise oar possessions in Africa . In saying this we say nothing but what has been formally declared from the tribunes tbe two Chambers , and repeated by tbe press . Is it the Xaiional alone thst bas n"t beard these declarations ? Bovr can it talk of confidential promises m&de to England ? England has much better than confidential promises : it has tbe public pledge of France . Confidential promises might vanish with the Ministry that had the imprudence to soake them—an engagement entered into in the face of the Chambers , and ratified by them and Ij public opinion , becomes a national obligation . It is not a concession yielded to foreign influence , H ia a resolution demanded in our ewn interest . To acoompsish the pscification of Algeria , and to colonise it , is the great orgecs of our present efforts j and tbe burthen of thi * alone is sufficiently fceavy for oui bndgefc We have
nearly 100 , 100 men in Africa , and to corquer and preserve Morocco we must have another 100 , 000 men ; and while all the blood and treasnra of France will be absorbed by a land whieh caniiot render any return tor a long time , what would btcome of our position in Europe ? where-would be our political freedom ? Itrtqnires no magic to answer this question . There is no need to recur - to secret and shameful compromises for explaining the resolution taken by the French Government not to conquer and keep Morocco , it is not her interest to conquer and keep it . She desires peace , and she will gain it by making a barbarous people feel the superiority of her power in aims . She will dictate her own terms of peaee at the point of tbe sword . Moroccc has attacked us , and the lesson to be given to her must be severe enough to make her lose for ever all temptation to disturb our possessions . This is the only object of tbe war we have undertaken andjarried on with so much visour . '
The Fobtificatioss . —The entire of the enciente continue of the fortifications of Paris , with the exception of the line comprised between Berg and Cbaronne , may , we are informed , be considered as terminated . The military road and glacis and two of tbe forts remained to be completed . " Thus , " says the Vonstilutionnel , " tbe fortifications of toe capital may now be occupied by the troops , and oppose a vigorous resistance . "

TJNITED STATES . MXETrNG OF THE NATIONAL REFORM ASSOCIATION—Libebation OF Gov . Dork . —The Central Committee of the National Reform Association met on Wednesday , July 24 , and , after a full discussion of the su > ject > resolved to advertise in one of the morning papers of Thnrsday , tbat a plan for the constitutional liberation of Governor Dorr would be offered by the CfcEtJ-32 Committee , ajid iu-yitiiig tbe frieDds of CJovercorDarr to attend . An advertisement to that tffiCt wsa accordingly inserted in ibe . » un ; and , though the cotice was sb .-rt , and only given in one paper , a goodly nwebtr of the true Democracy of 2 ? ew Yoik responded to tLa cslL
Giolge H . Ivass was called to the chair , who Etat = d ih » t the first ol-ject cf tbe meeting was to consider a reposition of the Central Committee for the ooBttnntioEal liberation cf Governor Dsrr , and he then reed the following preamble and resolutions as xepciled by the committee : —
Untitled Article
Whenfere it is manifest to this Association , that Thomas W . Dorr , now Imprisoned in Rhode Island , charged with having committed tbe crime of treason against that state , is an innocent , persecuted , and highly estimable man , and ia Buffering ander a cruel , vindlctiYe , and wholly unjust sentence ; Be it resolved by this Association , that it is the duty of all the friends of free suffrage Ib this Rapnblic , te exert all constitutional means to procure the liberation or the said Thomas W . Dorr . Resolved , That the Committee be directed to send « no or more members of this Awociation to Rhode Island , and such other States , of the First Circuit as may be expedient , with instructions to use all constitutional means to procure the earliest release ot the »» id Thomas w . » jrr , which the natuw of the case will admit of .
Resolved—That Francis C . Treadwell , attorney and counsellor at law , in the States of Maine and New Hampshire , is hereby directed to proceed to Rhode Island , make inquiries , and take such measures as he may deem best calculated to advance the objects of this meeting ; and tbat w » heartily commend him to the confidence and support of the friends of freedom whereeverhe may tojourn . Resolved—That subscriptions be received by the Committee , and by the persons employed by this Association , to aid in obtaining the liberation ef Thomas W . Dorr , for the purpose of defraying the expences that may bs incurred thereby .
Resolved—That the » g * nta , representatives , and lecturers , employed by the National Reform Association , be rt quested upon » U appropriate occasions , to driver lectures upon the freedom oftoe unappropriated Public Lands of the United States , to actual settlers , and also upon tbe subject of treason against tbe United States , and to obtain contributions and subscriptions in aid of the objects of this Association . Mr . Tbeadwelx was then requested to give his views oa the case of Governor Dorr , which he did , after some preliminary observations , by reading a written document , exhibiting a thorough view of the constitutional points connected with the subject , showing that the United States Constitution , the laws of tbe United States , and [ wbat some people consider still
more important ) Judge-mode L % w , are against the imprisonment of Governor Dorr , for the alleged crime of high treason against tbe State , there being no such crime as high treason against a Stale , whiob was not also treason against the United States . Mr . T . spoke for Bome time after the reading of his opinion , charactenziBg the imprisonment of Governor Dorr as the act of the Landlords of Rbode iBland , and giving his views incidentally , on the freedom of tha Public Lands , a measure which he bad advocated in 1837 , before a " BasineM Convention" got up under the auspices of the American Institute of thia city . Though Mr . Treadwell has been a member of the National Reform
Association for several weeks , ill health has prevented him , hitherto , from attending tbe meetings , Hib appearance was hailed with enthusiasm by the meeting , many of whom have , fer years past , gone shoulder to shoulder with him in tbe cauBe of radical democracy . He is the author of tbe celebrated State Bond Tract , and Reply to Daniel Webster on the unconstitHtionality of State Debts , pamphlets which ought to be read by every man , and especially by conductors of the public press who prate about the violated faith of the States , faith which , as the pamphlets show , could not be pledf ed according to the Constitution , and therefore could not have been violated .
M , r . Vale , editor of the Beacon , was then invited to give his viewa on the incarceration of Governor Dorr , which he did in a forcible and eloquent manner , examining the question in all its bearings , and justifying the conduct of Mr . Dorr throughout . His remarks were loudly applauded . Mr . Comsiebfobd followed , jollifying in an able manner , Governor Dorr ' s patriotic conduct , and highly approving of tbe means now proposed to effect his liberation . In the course of his remarks , he spoke with just indignation of the conduct of those who on a former occasion , had been loud in their approval of his course , and promised him their aid , but who were missing when the time for action arrived .
Mr . Bowie made a brief address , approving of the course proposed . In speaking of another meeting called for the same object , he said ho hoped that no attempt would be made to create party capital out of this subject , but thai be sbonld be proud to seethe party to which he was attached take up this question . Colonel Ming then came forward and delivered a masterly and tloquent address , in the course of which be ga 7 e a full history of the Rhode Island ease . His appeals in favour of Governor Dorr ' s liberation were rapturously applauded by the meeting .
Mr . Nxwmak was then culled upon , and gave a histaiy of tbe last attempt , in which he was an actor , to place Governor Dorr iu the station to -which he had been elected . He severely censured the conduct of the Rhode Islanders in not supporting that attempt , and also spoko with indignation of the conduct of the professing friends of free suffrage in this city on tbat occasion . Tbe remarks of Mr . N . were received with much applause . The Chairman made a few remarks . He bod been asked what tUe National Reform Association had to do with the case of Governor Dorr . The Association , he said , was organized to accomplish a great national measure , and tbey wanted the votes ot every poor man to accomplish that measure . The Land Pirates of
Rhode IsUnd deny the right of suffrage to the poor of that stste : this , therefore , w ^ b one reason , and , in his opinion , a very important one , why the Association had to do with the case of G >> verner Dorr . What tke landed aristocracy of Rhode Island aad of England w « e now doing to withhold the rigkt of suffrage , the same ariBtocrasy fcise ^ bere teouid do if they could get power ; in proof of wnicn ht mentioned the law passed in New Jersey , a fe-w years ago , ( out since repealed ) denying the right of suffrage to poor men \? fao , through sickness er want of employment , ceuld not p * y a tax J and the present attempt to txcludo foreigners from the poll * . These , be said , were beginnings , which would be built upon by a landed aristocracy , if the people did not resist the first encroachments .
The qubsuon on the resolutions was then put and carried unanimously . Livekpool , Friday Mousing . —The Royal Mail steamer Caledonia , Captain E . G . Lott , arrived at this port last night at tea o'clock , witb the mailB from the Uaittd States , Canada , and Nova Scotia , and forty-Bix passengers . She left Boston on the 16 ih , and Halifax on the 13 th inst Has experienced rather severe weather on the voyage . The aiOEMONs . —The Correspondent of the Morning Chronicle sayB : —
It is important tbat all persons in England who have been weak enough to join tbat miserable mockery of religion , Mormonism , should know tbat , owing to the threats of a portion of the people of Illinois , to " exterminate the Mormons ! " the governor of that state has issued a proclan ation against so horrible a menace , with a view to prottct and save the Mormons . The danger is clearly imminent , and it ia mnch feared that it is out of Governor Ford ' s power to restrain mob law in the Hancock and Warsaw districts of his state . Such a state of things is truly frightful . The boiler of tbe steamboat PorUmonth exploded in the Delaware , fronting this ctty , on Tuesday , and killed two persons , besides scaldiBg several othera dangerously . A few days since the steamer Marietta blew up in the Arkansas river , and killed nearly twenty persens . Owing to the recent unprecedented overflow of tbe Mississipi and its tributaries , there is much and fatal sickB 6 S 3 in the southern and western regions of the country . CANADA . Canada papers and tetters record numerous atrocities committed by the labourers on the Welland , Lachine , and other canals ; several Orangemen ( socalled ) have been nearly killed , property has been destroyed , and email towns and villages near the lines ( such as Thoiold ) are said to be scarce ; y worth living in , owing to bo many outrages . Two persons were killed near some works on the Ottawa , and the inhabitants of several places have sent to tbe governor for protection . The Canadian Parliament is prorogued to September the 12 th . A" minister from the King of the Said Rich Islands U at Montreal . The Nova Scotia advices complain of a ecarcity" of eeaman , £ 10 currency , or forty dollars per month , having been asked for the run to England and back .
SOUTH AMERICA . The town of San Carlos , in Chili , has been accidentally destroyed by fixe . It was a port c-ntainiiig 4 . inhabitants . A dieadful flood has ravaged the count ; y near Caraccas and Porto Cabelio , destroying many lives , and millions of dollars' worth of property . Letters from Vera Cruz state that Santa Anna is prosecuting his preparations for an invasion of Texas wiih Vigour , and accounts from Texas describe that republic as cow bdng ( by majority at least ) opposed to annexation to the United States .
FOREIGN MISCELLANY . Description of Mcgador . —Mogador is comparatively a now town , having been founded by the Sultan Muiy Mahommed in 17 G 0 , in order to have a port at the nearest possible poiuc from Morocco , from which city it is distant about 48 leagues . Saffi , or A 6 fi , is the chief town of the province , only 38 leagues from Morocco , seated in a bay , but has been abandoned as a port on account of its inconvenience , and insecurity from its being open to the westtrly gales . Tha population of Moeador may be estimated at about 12 , 000 , of which 1 , 300 are Jews , and not more than 15 or 20 Europeans . It is the moss commercial part of tbe empire , and returns a customs revenue of nearly 1 OOO . COOf . Saffi produces only between
50 , 000 f . and 60 , 000 / ., and the twin-towns of Babat and Salee , -whose united population amounts to 52 , 000 : 80 ^ 3 , and are next in commercial importance to Mogauor , produce no more than 380 , 000 fr . The town is called Sjuerah by the Morocco men , it bema to the island alone that they give the name of Mogador , alter ' a saint called Sidi Mogodoul , -whosa tomb is to be seen on the coast opposite Souerah , and , wiih its chapel , 13 anterior to the foundation of tbe town . On the island alone , which ia two English milea in circumference , there was formerly a small fort built by the Portngnese , of whom memorials are to be found all along the coast from Tangier to the country of Sous el Acsa , opposite the Canary Islands . The construction of the town of Mccador must have

been attended with great difficulties , nartioularly the south-west rampart , facing the Island , which is raised pn sareral rocks , against which the sea breaks , with great violence , and which are united oy two cattamed works . The whole of the north W&MKWM 6 * r h » h the sea al 6 o beats with « qual Sh « n !?! : « H ® n l htlT 9 J 1 ' ? erected without much fci ^ TrttS ? nS . b ? y ° n a ^« science and strength of l ^ hffiL ¦ J P "as laid down by European engineers , and among them by a Frenchman named Cornnt
. Masons and other artizana were brought from . Mrope , and Borne Frenchman who had been made Blayes were also employed as labourers . Cornut served the King of Morocco for ten years , But was so badly rewarded , that he came back to France as P 9 ? r as when he left it . Muiy Mohammsd transferred to'Mogador the inhabitants of Agadir ( Santa Cruz ) , and forced the richest Moors to com © mtrom the Burrotroding provinces and build houses , ? X ?! ttt me"haDt 8 woro encouraged to come and BetUd there by being offered facilities for trading
and tnus the new sewn was not only built but peopled withm the space of ten or twelve years , Hut in a few years more : the heavy taxep , and duties , and rigid prohibitions paralysed the course of trade , and drove three-fourths of the merchants away , and the populattoa whwh had amounted to 25 , 000 , has g »/ , ^ dwmdled t 0 Iess than one-half . T he site of Mogador presents at a distance that picturesque aspect which gained it the name of Souerah , which means a picture . The minarets , which rise to a great height aboro the ramparta bristling with cannon , certainty present from afar an interesting and beautiful sight ; but the interior of the town
does not realise this promise , although its streets are regular , and it has 6 omo very fine buildings . The port is formed by the island , on the eastern side of wnioh the trading vessels are moored , sheltered from the west and north winds , but exposed to those from the south-west , which frequently blow with great force , and cause Sever © losses . On the island are four batteries of masonry , and the most considerably portion of tha fortifications can play upon the island and the moortng-pJace with good tffect , being at only about 1 , 500 yards distance . It would bo impossible to oocupy the port without having previously ruined all the defences which thus protect it .

them feel the weight of the ; only weapon they have left us to fight with . I understand that last night the Whig Mayor dispersed a meeting in the Market-place , and has declared hia intention , with tha m&glstt&tea' concurrence ot preventing them in future . Now , then , take your proper revenge for this ; kick him out next November , although you should be cursed with the infliction of a Tory Mayor . And \ i he prevents your meeting , kick Him out . " Now , Barber , yon should not have represented me as laying down a general principle , whern I was merely recommending a policy by which a great principle may be served . I don't understand your objection to my interfering in your local affairs . Is it not : a notorious fact that the value of a municipal triumph by either faction is
measured by the effL-cfc that it is likaly to have on an election contest , 1 And surely , you who sat with me , and worked with me , and thanked me for my services rendered to Mr . Sturge , a stranger who interfered " with tbe local and general government of your town" was not then of your present opinion , j Wbat then makes yoa so bitter now ? And why the following bit ot Whig sentimentality 1 You say : "it is true the Whigs ate not all we could wish ; but still we have not been provented by them from holding our pubiio m& tings ( With the exception of last Sunday ) : " Now , your exception may juatas well be pleaded in favour of C > 1 . Rolleston and the Tory Magistrates who never attacked you oa tho Mapperly HiJls , with THE EXCEPTION OF THE 26 TH AUGUST , 1842 . !
Now , Barber , it ia the lenity accorded to those little fe&ceptlons that embolden our oppressors . They are regardless of oar passing anger , because they live in hope that a greater aggression on the part of the enemy will be full atonement ; for their past crimes . Ton may reat assured that you never again can successfully raise the cy of mere local rights and local privileges . The battering rani of public opinioa has broken down the foolish ramparts ; and , as long as tha Mayor of a , Borough may exercise any po ^ er affcctiBg my rights , I shall consider myself justified in interfering With his election .
I auppose that if I went into Hampshire , and opposed the return of Shaw Lefevre , the Speaker of the House of Commons , some local liberal might ask me -what right I had to interfere with their matters ? Well , my answer would be , " your representative gave a casting vote in the House ot Commons , whereby I and four hundred more were 'kept in prison . " Don ' t you think that would be a good reason ; and don't you think that if the Mayor of Nottingham is capable of exercising very considerable ioiience at an election , on bttialf of the women aad little children of Bag land I have a right to try and turn out
of offl-e a party who would mafce any sacrifice to return two Multhusian Whigs , who would vote against the liberties of women and little children ? I don't think yuu exactly understand j the difference between principle and policy—for if you had , you could not be ignorant of the fact that I had given it as my opinion that as long as ttxu Tories are in power , it should be the policy of the Chartists if possible to give the Wbigs a majority at municipal elections : not from any lova of tie WhigB , but because it would be impelitio to harmonic ; the machinery of government , by allowing the parties having the management | of the large wheels to have the management of the small ones also .
Now , as youi olj ^ ct wae convince the readers of your letter that I preferred Tories to WhigB , you should have told them that my preferancu was a thing solely guided by tbe amount of serrice a preference for one or the other would confer npon our cause . After mature consideration then , I again recommend the municipal electors of Nottingham to take summary vengeance upon those " Natural leaders ' ' and professing liberal friends who have bo recently and audaciously attempted to destroy the last privilege thut we were in possession of } the privilege ot talking together . I again recommend the ousting of the whole gang from the corporate board ; and when they are our bedfellows , we shall have them contending agaictt a Tory majority for THE INALIENABLE RIGHT OF ENGLISHMEN TO MEET WHEN AND WHERE THEY VLEASE FOR TUB DISCUSSION OF TUEIK , GRIEVANCES .
Doar Barber ; do not try to put Whig-salt upon my tail : and for God's sake shake off the pinch tkat some one has dropped upoa your own tail ; and believe me , i Yours very sincerely , Fkarsus OVJonnor .
A Bowl Of "Punch." A Disu Of Glory.
A BOWL OF "PUNCH . " A DISU OF GLORY .
The Gran Correspondent of the Times relates a fact touohingly illnetrative of the ' moral condition of the French army of Africa . j In November last , one EinbarAck , the Khali ! of Abdel-kader , with between seven land eight hundred infantry , was set upon by Ganerai Tern pour , with four equadrons of cavalry . Nearly , four hundred of the Moors were slaughtered , and among them Emherack , after be bad wounded six Frenchmen . The Kbalif dead—then came in the sweets of revenge ? The Times ays : — i
" Tbe Spahia , or native cavalry , immediately after Embaruok fell , eul of bis bead , j The bead of Einbaraek was then covered with honey by tbe Spahia , and sent to Oran ; arrived at Oran , the bead of Einbaraek was then sailed , and thence deep itched to AAsieta . At Algiers , the head of Euibarack was ' served up at a soi / eo of Marshal Bugtaud , something in ( fie style of the serving up on a charger of the head of John pie Baptist mentioned in the New Testament . When all eyes aaU beeu sufficiently regaled with the sight of the head of the brave cfeief u ( the desert—the unconquerable' enemy of tbe FrtncU ( conquered only by accident )—the Marshal , yielding ; to his instincts as a soldier , gave the head a funeral with the aeremony awarded to tbe rack of a lieutenant ; and the head of Euibarack was at last buried , either at Medeah or Miliana , with all due military bonourd . "
We think the Marshal acted , without due consideration . He ought to have carried j out tho principle manifested in tbe " serving up ' of a human head at the table of a Christian hero , and not have buried it . What nn idle ceremony was this serving up , if a funtral with military honours was to follow ? What a waste of honey and salt—what a pisee of useless show , the charger t In the straightened condition in which ihc FreoeU army too of ten gads itself in Africa , weh . zmt the opluion with all modesty— -that a much better uss might be made of slaughtered enemies .
Man is the victim of many foolish prejudices , until philosophy with her sweet voice— " musical as is Apollo ' s lute "—converts him from his darkness , and makes him all her own . Now , philosophy has evidently done Hiucn with Marshal Bugeaud and men of hia piaslic , yet heroic substance : nevertheless , the Marshal has his best lesson to learn , otherwise ! be would never have buried tba barbarian ' s head ; no , he won d have consummated the tasteful , the humane ; yearnings that set the head before him , by supping off it . He would have paid Embarack the most deliuate compliment by incorporating him with himself : he would thus—in the tjw ^ et ailing ol the French army—have fraternised with the fallen Bddoain . i
That soldiers do not eat soldiers , bss always appeared to us a gross prejudice , altogether unworthy of tradesmen in war ; a Bqutamishness inconsistent with the at * mospbere of five , and blood , and blasphemy , in which the laurel is usually cultivated . It is , however , samsthitig to find that Marshal Bageaud and bia African heroes are getting a little in advance of the reat of Europe , aad vindicating French claims to superior civilisation in the art of war , as in the art of cookery and tnantua-makisg . It ia a step gained , that a hero will have a hero ' s head served before him in a charger ; the next movement will , of course be , for the hero to say grace and fall to . Wa can discern the hankering , the liquorishnesa of appetite , that baa the human joint put upon the table , — and then tbe latent weakness , the deference to popular
prejudice that , with a sigh , bids thy untasted disu . be taken &ff . And after all , wbat folly , wbat waste , to give to worms that which might ha ? e doce so much good to Muraha ) Bugeaud t The human luwtulnesa and wisdom of war once granted , we confess we look upon a , uy indisposition to make the most of our enemies , by eating them , as a were sickliness of sentiment—an affectation unworthy of the natural majesty of man , made more majestic by tnuaket and aevtral rouuda ol ball-cartridge . Let ua consider a razzia by the French—jone of those interludes which , to the employment , if not the delight of the recording angel , tbey are ewry day enacting in Africa .
These Christian mec coma swoop upon an unarmed village . They cut tbe throats of the men—bayonet tbetr wives and childertn , if at all teroublesoma—set fire to the growing crops—and dtiveoff every head oi cattle . Consider the scene—the heroes , ; witk another sprig of laurel , marched away—and tayi if it be not a place for devils to ravel in ? Consider the blackened earth , the Bmouldering ruin , the human form divine gashed and stabbed , and , worse than all , outraged beyond the decency of words to tell ; and what is there in the sptctaole that Beeizabub trim-elf might not feel a diaboiic pleasure to claim as bis own especial handiwork—hs own doing ?—albeit committed by men , whose creed it is to " love one another I" j
As thea , apparantly to ua , it rpally requires a greater amount of moral couiage to kill a man , tuan to eat him when killed , we must again express our satisfaction that Marshal Bugeaud bi > s bo cunningly , so adroitly touched the pulse of human prtjudice to fed ita present eannibal condition . Be it our duty to asiiat Marshal Bugeaud , by every argument at our command , in his praiseworthy purpose . ' The Commissariat difficulties with which the French have to contend in Africa are ; well kuown : they are constantly , though in the face of tuo enemy , on short commons . Now , let the Marshal ' s hint be ripened into practice , and so long as an enemy is to be found , so long will the soldier be supplied with a sufficiency of rations . He may satisfy bis glory and hia ay petite at the same time . It becomes as much a war of the knife and fork aa of the bwon j gjoryjas Wallace said , going hand iu hand with lull eutiiig . i Thua tho Frenchman kills his enemy , and he devours him—as we eat a custard—flavoured with bay-leaves .:
The refinement of the French army may , poBsibly , revilt at the dish ; but we beg to assate our lively and chivalrous neighbours that , to use one of their own adages , the appetite will come with eating . Tbe acu . e Doctor Mufiett , an Elizabethan philosopher , wnte 3 of a certain king of Lydia , who " having eaten of hia own -wire , said he waB sony to have been ignorant so long of so good a dish . " To be sure , ] the Lydian king may have Bpoken mow a » a tM&buvd than as a gourme *—but

wa have the assurances of New Zjalandera , and others , that the human animal is very excellent feeding : Hence as Marshal Bngeaud bas gone so far as to familiarise hia army to tbe sight of human heads—honeyed and salted —in ohargen , we trust thai bis u&xt lesson will be to make them draw to and eat . The saving to Franca will be enormous . No Arab so tough that he may nofc be edible j for the aforesaid Doctor Muffatt observes , — " a lion being showed to a strong bull three boura before he be killed , causeth hia flesh to be as tender aa that of a steer ; . fear dissolving his hardest parts , and making" hia very heart become pulpy . " Upon this the * ory , we . can judge of the effect ol the French lions upoa even the oldest and hardest Bedouins .
WANTED , —A . FEW BOLD SMUGGLERS 1 Punch , being within this past fortnight denied admittance into France , by an order oipresaly issued to that effect in Paris ; an order , carried out with all characteristic zaal and fidelity by Djuaniera and Postmasters , by which means every number of Punch 8 inimitable and cosmopolite journal found in the possession of a steam-boat passenger has been seized and impounded as though it were another Infernal Machine in handsome type—by which means every copy has been stopped at the French Pest Office ( to the- all but irreparable loss and most poignant grief of the defrauded aubseribsrs ) , —Punch is hereupon determined
to engage at any cost , a few bold smugglers , that his Journal may continue to disseminate civilisation tSaronghont benighted France ; and , if possible , to touch the heaiU of the natives with a tine eeuae of human glory , converting tbem from the false worship ot blood and fire , and gathering tbem into a brotherhood of peaceful men . fienoe , smuggling—at the worst , a venial eccentricity—( Kercised in tbe cause of benevolence and Punch , becomes an occupation for the philan tbropist and tbe philosopher ; and the man who successfully introduces our sheet into France , n ? ay , for aU time forward , consider himself a human benefactor . He is the missionary ot peace among tbe drum-boating heathen .
It would ill-become the character of Punch—novr , happily , known to the universe for his plain outspeaking—to affect an ignorance of the cause which baa made him distasteful to tbat fortifying monarch , Louis Philippe . No , no ; Punch ia tally aware that his well * meant epistle to Joinville—that letter , written with a dove's'quill dipped in attar of roses—was vitriolic acid to the royal palate . He knows , too , that his exposure of tbe R'jyal Beggarman , who talks of bis mm and daughters as a mendicant talks of bis sores , thai ha may gull and pillage tha unwary , tbe while h « , ia padded with greasy bank notes beneath b '> a rag * ? . n' tatters : —Punch kmowa that bis exposure of ro ^ al avarice has called down upon him tbe prohibitory vengeance of King Dives , detected , as Punch detected him , mumming as Louis Philippe Lauras .
The Missionary Gun—The members of the London Mission beg respectfully to inform Christian philanthropists in general , and the religious world in pattieular , that , encouraged by the applause which rewarded their last entertainment : at Exeter Hall , in the matter of Pritchard , Qaeen Pomare , and the French , they have made arrangements to continue their performances for tbe further enlightenment of tbe heathen , and the pacification of the world at large . Profoundly touched with the truth of the political axiom tbat tbe best warrant of peace is to make every preparation for war—believing tbat the best security against the discharge of a gun is to keep it continually at half cock—the Londoa Mission confidently invite tbe pubiio to witness tha extraordinary bffjrts they have made for the perpetuity
of peace and the growth of brotherly love among all nations . The London Mission are in treaty with Her Majesty ' s Government for the purchase of the borubship , Infernal , ( to be re-christened the Honeycomb ) , in which it is their intention to visit Tahiti , ami , if necessary , to argue every point of Christianity with the French at point-blank . The immortal Newton declared that with all he bad done , be seemed to himself no more than a child who bad picked up a few sheila by the great ocean of truth . The London Mission flatter themselves tbat their shells will be found veiy different ; from those of Newton . ; and their truth very different from his truth . Pending the negociation for the bomb-ship , the Mission have purchased a forty-two pounder , and earnestly invite tbe public te witness
the extreme skilfulness with which tbey load and fire . They have discovered that the very best wadding is supplied by tracts and sermons ; tbey help to make the loudest noise , and , in many instances , very considerably increase the smoke . It is also confidently believed , that caanon-bills inscribed with the wordg Peace , Love , or Charity , do much more execution th&a vulgar nuWessed iroa , discharged by tbe ignoranfr laity . The London Mission do not arrogate to their , own untaught efforts the gunnery perfection at which they have arrived . Certainly not . Since their last meeting & Exeter-hall , several of tbe brethren have taken daily lessons at Woolwich Marshes , under the ditection of distinguished officers of artillery . The Rev . Mr Smith bas especially distinguished himself .
having with a rocket split a quill to # th-picb at an inconceivable distance . It was the intention of the London Mis 3 ifrn to exhibit their gunnery in Lord ' s Cricketground , but that place having been previously engaged for the performances of the Ioway Indians , the mission bad too much Christian consideration for tha warsong and War-dance , even to repine at being auMcip-ited by their unconverted brothers . The object of the Mission in calling upon tbe public , and tbe religious 1 world in particular , to witness their artillery practice is , tbat , upon their shown success , they nvy the more confidently a « k subscriptions from tbe peaceful for tbe purchase of the Infernal bomb above-named . The rapidity with whick tbe cannon is loaded and discharged
will , 'it is believed , at once insure all needful support . Modestly certain of the funtia necessary to buy the Infernal , the London Mission cannot forego the present opportunity of stating that they are already open to the application of those peace-loving men who would serve aa volunteers in the expedition . Tew officers being already named , foremast men only ara required ; and these men must bave served tbe otS . ce of clerk at least three years to be eligible . A few cabin-boys who bave received medals at their Sunday schools will be received . There will also be an opening for half-adozen -pew-openers , as cockpit-nurses . Tbe chair will be taken at eleven a . m . ; the gun will be loaded at half-past ; firing to begin precisely at coon . —Punch .

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE . Portsmouth ; Friday Evening . —The Collingwood , 80 , Captain Smart , with the flag of Rear-Admiral Sir George Seymour , stilf remains at Spithead . and up to this hour there is no sign of her removal , yesterday she was inspected by the Lords of the Admiralty , and also by bia Royal Highness Prince Albert The Lords of the Admiralty went on board the Excellent gunnery ship , Captain Sir Thomas Hastings , this afternoon , to inspect her , and to witness the shot and shell practice . The admirable precision with which the firing was curried on elicited tbe approbation of their lordships . Every shot was so well directed tbat it struck or went close to , the target . Hast a vessel been moored there instead of ' .- tbe target every shot tbat was fired would bave hulled her . Their lordships remained on board nearly three hours .
The Qieen , 110 , Captain Martin , will go out of harbour on Monday . The rumour is ; gaining ground that several lin « of battle ships are to be commissioned immediately , and appearances lead us to believe tbat there is some truth in it , for the Pembroke , 74 , an advance ship , baa been taken into dock and masted , and the Powerful , 84 , has this day been hauled from her moorings to the vicinity of the dockyard , also for tho purpose of being masted . She , as well aa all the other advance ships , are only coppered to light load water mark , and the caulkers are now busy upon bor , and preparing her for being coppered to deep load wctor mark . Tbe Rodney , 90 , another advance ship , ia to be masted and got ready tor commissioning .

THE NOTTINGHAM CORPORATION . TO THE EDITORS OP THE NOTTINGHAM BKV 1 EW . Gentlemen—Monday being what is called by tbe Chartists , tbe anniversary of tbe " Battle of Mnpperleyhill , " I , along with many others , went for tbe purpose of bearing that old an < i tried friend of the working classes , Feargus O'Connor . I have always held Mr . O Connor in tbe highest estimation , on account of bis unflinching advocacy of tbe rights of the toiling millions ; bnt however much I may approve of bis general conduct , : and the political opinions held by him , I cannot think for a moment he has any right whatever to interfere with the local government of our town , as he must be altogether unacquainted with the gentlemen who axe , or those whe may become oar local governors .
Tbe Whigs , he saya , are as great enemies , when in office , of popular liberty as are the Tories , and when out of office , are the real or pretended friends of the people ; bis advice was therefore that next November we must have a Tory mayor and a Tory corporation . Now , Gentlemen , Mapperiey Hills , of alt others , was tbe meet unfortunate place for Mr . O'Connor to have given such advice , and bis advisers should not by any means have placed bim in such a predicament . Is it Hot freBh in tbe recoitection * of every inhabitant of Nottingham , tbat two years ago , the Q'leen ' s troops , beaded by Tory magistrates , poured npon several hundreds of
working men , who were met to eat bread and cheese ? Have the Cbart ^ ts forgotten tbe conduet of Colonel Rolleston on tbat » ccasioa—tbe imprisonment of a number of oat fellow-townsmen for no crime whatever ? And does it escape theii memories , that yesterday tbey had met to commemorate Tory interference and Tory intolerance ? Yet in tbe face of all this , and at a time when a collection was about to be made towards liquidating the outstanding debt costractort on that occasion , we are told l , y the Chartists that next November we must bave a Tory Corporation ! A strange piece of inconsistency tbia . I am at a loss to imagine of wbat materials some men are made !
If tbe foregoing facts will not suffice , we may call the attention of tbe Oiiartists to the year . lS 3 fl , when tbo Tory magistrates interfered in tbe local government of our town , the committal of certain individuals for sedition , tbe removat of those individuals from the town to the county for trial , for fear that they ( the Tory magistrates ) should fail in procuring a conviction by a Whig town Jury . I trust , ' Gentlemen , that the people of Nottingham bave too much good senss to follow tbe advice given by F . O'Connor yesterday . The Tories ever have been and ever wili be the determined enemies of popular liberty ; tbey have always endeavoured to prevent the people from meeting to discuss tbeir grievances . It is true tbe Whigs are not all we could wish , but still we have not been provented by them from holding our pubiio meetings ( with tbe exception of last Sunday ) ; on the contrary , -we bave on many . occasions bad access to the pubiio buildings , which I ftar would not be the case if we bad a Toi y local Government .
I am well uwnie tbat the foregoing remarks will earn for me a good share of vituperation and abuse ; notwithstanding ibis , I shall not be deterred at any time from expressing my opinions when I conceive that great public characters-are endeavouring to mislead the public mind . Respectfully yours , Nottingham , August 27 . J . Barber .

Dear Barber . —I read your letter in the Nottingham Review ot last week with a little pain and a great deal of pleasure . With a little pain , because you either misunderstood me , or misrepresented me . With a great deal of pleasure , because you have afforded
