I waited then for news of Mr. Hay, before commencing hostilities, On the 4th a letter of Sidi Bousselain, Pacha of Laraebe, was sent us, more measured, more conciliating, than preceding ones; it renewed, nevertheless, the insolent demand of the punishment of the marshal. The letter of Sidi Bousselam said not a word of the removal of the corps of troops collected near Ouchda. As to Abi- el-Kader; Sidi Bousselam asserted that he was no longer on the Morocco territory, and that orders had been given to prevent his returning to it, Nevertheless, the Marshal learned at the same time that Abd el-Kader had gone, into the inferior of Morocco, and that he was two days' march in the rear of the Moorish camp.

One-half the Moorish garrison perished on the spot, while the other half retreated to a mosque and there capitulated. The guns of the island were next turned against the batteries on shore, which were gradually silenced, and the walls of the city the British Consol and soie. Englishund brorghe reduced to ruins. A landing was then effected, and

The Repeal Association is at present entertain- ing two notable projects, one, the organisation, of a system for discouraging the consumption of ex cisable articles, and articles of English growth or inanufacture, the other, for encouraging the re- storation of the Irish language, in order to promote as far as possible, a national distinction between the English and Irish people.
