France. — The following telegraphic despatch, an- 

 nouncing the bombardment and destruction of Mogadore, 

 and its subsequent occupation by the Prince de Join. 

 ville, reached Paris on Monday :— " The Prince de Join- 

 ville to the Minister of the Navy.— On the 15th we 

 attacked Mogadore. After having destroyed 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 esta- 

 blishing the garrison of the island. I have put the port 

 in a state of blockade." The following important 

 despatch from Marshal Bugeaud was received two days 

 previously :— " The Governor-General of Algeria to the 

 Minister of War. — Bivou-ic of Koudiat-Abd-er-Rhaman, 

 the 4th. — Having 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 horse, at 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 in- 

 fantry, 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 stand- 

 ards, 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. Our losses, although severe, 

 are light for so brilliant an action, which we shall call 

 the Battle of My." The ministerial papers add to this 

 announcement that the Moorish army reckoned 24,000 

 cavalry. Tne enemy must, moreover, have had a nume- 

 rous irregular infantry j and probably, also, regular troops 

 to defend and manage their artillery. Marshal Bugeaud 

 had under his command only 7000 infantry, 1400 cavalry, 

 and 12 pieces of cannon. In reference to the Prince de 

 Joinville's bombardment it is worthy of remark, that 

 neither his official despatch relating to this affair, or to that 

 of Tangiers, have yet been published. A letter, however, 

 has reached London, from the agent of Lloyd's, at Gibral- 

 tar, stating that « the Moors are reported to have 

 fought with great bravery, and that they opened fire from 

 the batteries when they found the 3 line-of-battle ships 

 were about to take up positions at 2 o'clock p.m. on the 

 15th inst. The cannonade lasted till near sunstt, when 

 the steamers towed off the large ships to the iee.il.ir 

 anchorage ground. At night there was firing between 

 the contending parties till ten o'clock, when the Hecla 

 departed and till eleven o'clock, at a d.stance, firing wa ; 

 still heard. This firing was between the shore and the 

 steamers with small French sailing vessels of war. Mr 

 Villshire, our Consul, and some oiher British subjects 

 were not allowed to embark, owing to some local regula- 

 tions relative to Custom-house engagements. Adniral 

 ! r „ n has des patched the Vesuvius to Mogadore 

 where Her Majesty's ship Warspite was lying for the 

 protection of British interests. At Tangiers everything 

 was quiet, and order prevailed. The markets were re* 

 opened and trade resuming j the defences were about to 

 be repaired and the savage tribes in the neighbourhood 

 had dispersed." Tne remarkable fact adverted to in our 

 last, that the Prince bombarded Tangiers be f ore Mr 



„w re i U K\f th the an * wer 0f the Emperor, has been 



explained by the announcement that the French steamer 



which arrived from Oran early on the morning of the 



attack brought express orders fro n Marshal Bugeaud 



that no further time should be lost, but that the Prince 



should instantly open his fire upon Tangiers. These in 



structions caused the attack to he so suddenly commenced 



and the position of Marshal Bugeaud at the time' 



with respect to the Moorish army by which he was menaced ' 



is said to justify his anxiety that a diversion should be 



made at Tangiers — The destruction of Mogadore has 



caused another fall in the French Funds, and serious 



apprehensions are expressed in Paris lest a collision take 



place with the British squadron. Several of the papers 



state that the Admiralty Council are bestowing the 



utmost attention on the state of the Navy, and that thev 



have declared that operations must be carried on with 



wwi P>? teS ? P rom P titude on the coast of Morocco,

J cation of the criticisms of the English officers has created 

 an immense sensation in Paris ; and it is said that in the 

 Tuileries the feeling it has occasioned is a very painful 

 one. One effect produced by that and by the other 

 important questions pending at the present moment 

 between France and England is understood to be the 

 postponement of Louis-Philippe's voyage to this country. 

 It is said that an officer was despatched from the French 

 capital on Friday to Cherbourg and Brest, with orders to 

 stop the preparation of the ships which were to have 

 accompanied His Majesty to England. Should this turn 

 out to be the case, the circumstance will be regretted in 

 England ; but, at the same time, the relations between 

 the two countries have recently taken so threatening an 

 aspect, and so many questions have arisen which may 

 lead to difficulty, that some delay of His Majesty's visit 

 is not to be wondered at.— It appears that the Turkish 

 fleet, which the French Government professed to believe 

 was on its way to Tunis, was, according to the Levant 

 papers, on the coast of Syria at the end of July, without 

 the slightest intention of directing its course towards 

 Tunis. The pretence, however, was made use of to 

 enable the French Government to make a large addition 

 to its fleet in the Mediterranean, without exciting remark 

 or suspicion, and accordingly four ships of the line and 

 two frigates were sent out. England has one ship of the 

 line and some smaller craft in the Med rerranean. 

 France has now eight ships of the line, besides a great 

 number of frigates and smaller vessels, and another line- 

 of-battle ship has been sent to the Prince de Joinville. 

 In regard to Tahiti, it is stated by the Presse,a. paper in 

 general favourable to the French Cabinet, though very 

 hostile to this country, that a report was current 

 on Sunday that the English Cabinet, after having' 

 taken the opinion of the law officers of the Crown, 

 had decided that an ultimatum should be addressed to the 

 French Government, demanding the disavowal of MM. 

 Bruat and d'Aubigny, and that in the event of a refusal 

 Lord Cowley was to apply for his passports. This report 

 is disbelieved by other papers, but it was generally sup- 

 posed in Paris that the ultimatum had arrived, and that 

 it was true that the English Government demanded the 

 recall of both MM. Bruat and d'Aubigny, but that 

 though M. Guizot was willing to recall M. d'Aubigny, he 

 declined to do so in respect to M. Bruat. Another point 

 upon which there is said to be some difficulty is this. 

 The British Government demands that the reparation 

 should be made publicly and published in the Moniteur. 

 This M. Guizot is said to decline, notwithstanding Louis- 

 Philippe's wish that such a condition should not stand in 

 the way of an amicable arrangement of the question. The 

 National says, that the demand has been the subject of 

 grave discussion ; that M. Guizot, Admiral Mackau,and 

 Lord Cowley were at the Palace of Neuillv till a late hour 

 on Saturday night, and that Lord Cowle'y dispatched a 

 courier to London at an early hour on Sunday morning. 

 — One of the French journals contains a denial of the 

 charge brought some time since by Mr. Forster, M.P., 

 relative to the French occupation of the Gaboon river, 

 on the African coast. It was said that the King, or chief 

 of the district, had been made drunk by a French captain 

 and that whilst in that state he had been cheated into sign- 

 ing a bond making over to his French friends all his terri- 

 tory and powers. The Courrier de Havre positively denies 

 the story, so far as the intoxication goes, but admits 

 that Captain Amouroux. the commander in question, had 

 made use of the influence which his commeicial connec- 

 tions gave him with the African chief for the cession of 

 two points on the banks of the Gaboon, where the French 

 have now establishments. The Havre journal adds, that 

 so far from being prejudiced against the English on the 

 African coast, M. Amouroux had risked his life in 

 ascending the Gaboon to a considerable distance in the 

 interior, in order to rescue from the savages four ship- 

 wrecked English sailors, and that the Lords of the 

 Admiralty had sent him a chronometer, as a mark of 

 their approbation.-The Count de Paris entered on

GERMANY.—Accounts from Berlin state that s-nea 

 the attempt against the life of the King of PnWewrr 

 person suspected of professing liberal sentiments was 

 exposed to continual vexations, at the same time that 

 the censorship, which insinuated that it was not an in. 

 dividual, but an opinion, that had armed itself ag.inst 

 the King, redoubled its measures of rigour. They aho 

 mention several instances in which the deluded popu'ace 

 had assailed in their domiciles political writers of the 

 most inoffensive character. So general is the feeling of 

 abhorrence excited by the late attempt on the King's life, 

 that the deputies of the states of the circle of Nimptiflk] 

 in which is Klein Kreignitz, the native place of Tesch, 

 have ordered the parsonage-house of the town, in which 

 Tesch was born, his father being the Minister, to be de- 

 molished and rebuilt. It appears that the King and 

 Queen of Prussia during their late journey, at the last 

 stage previous to reaching Ischl, hada most providential 

 escape from an accident, which might have been attended 

 with melancholy results. There was a thunder- storm, 

 at which the horses of the Royal carriage became 

 affrighted, but all danger was happily removed by the 

 presence of mind of one of the King's Chasseurs, who 

 sprang forward from the rumble and cut the traces and 

 front harness, by which means the horses were removed 

 from the carriage, and the impending danger arrested. The 

 King of Bavaria arrived at Berchtesgaden, on his return 

 from Italy, on the 18th inst. In addition to the Crown 

 Prince, Prince Luitpold, and Prince Charles of Bavaria, 

 and the Electoral Prince of Hesse, who have repaired to 

 Berchtesgaden to welcome his Majesty, the Dowager 

 Empress of Austria is also expected.— The Augsburg 

 Gazette mentions a report from Trieste, tint the Bel- 

 lona, Austrian frigate, on board of which is Admiral 

 Bandiera, had received orders to sail for Morocco.— The 

 Nuremberg Correspondent states that the Germanic 

 Diet has already come to a resolution respecting the 

 claim to the title of " Highness," made by several reign- 

 ing Dukes. The parties concerned, however, have been 

 the only persons to whom the decision has been commu- 

 nicated. It is known that the various princes have 

 already assumed this title by anticipation, but the five 

 powers have conceded the title only to the Grand flukes 

 and to the Elector of Hesse-Cassel. The Confederation, 

 it is said, has not adhered to this concession.— The dis- 

 turbances among the manufacturers of Prussia are on 

 the increase. A letter from Warbourg states that tne 

 village of Helrued is in full revolt, and that the Govern- 

 ment was taking active measures to put it down.
