The leading 't I‘C‘ of our foreiin news is the announce- meat that a collisionjhas taken'jplace between the French troops and-the forces ofthe Emperor _of Morocco. The French Were completer victorious, putting a large body of Moorish cavalry to the rout, [and capturing three standards. In Paris this aﬁ'a’ir’is' regarded as the cmnmenccmeutzol ac-

tual hostilities, althouin Marshal Soult, in the French Cl’ltlln- !

hers, and Lord Aberdeen in the House of Lords, have do.- clared their conviction that war wdl not take place. . The French Government, however, are strengthening tlicirpo: eition on the Morocco frontier, and a squadron o-fline—ol- . battle-ships and steamers has been equipped, under the com-

mend ofthe Prince tle .loiiiville, for the purpose of cruising.

oﬂ'the eastern coast of Morocco. The Moors are evidently collected in large numbers, and are animated hy .a hostile spirit, which the efforts ofdiplomacy may ﬁnd is difﬁcult, if not impossible, to control. The recent skirmish at Ouchda was caused by the impetuosity of the native troops on first approaching the French camp; and a few days provionsly, the French garrison at Biskara, which the Duc d Aumale had left withOut sufﬁcient protection, was treacherously Inas- sacred. The movement is known to be the work of Abch-

Kader, who has so successfully inﬂamed the religious iana-,

ticism ofthe Moors, that the Emperor is said to have been unable to resist the impulse given to, his people the old enemy of‘France,'a'nd was, therefore, compelled to proclaim the f‘ holy war.” II this be conﬁrmed, there are reasons to hope thatthe mediation of England, which Lord Aberdeen

._ is understood to have offered, will be accepted, and thus

avert avyvar which might serioust compron'iise the relations between this country and France. .

After a great deal ofagitation in the Country, the DISSBII: ters’ Cliapela$ill passed a second reading in the House of Commons on Tuesday the 6th current, by a majority of_5§07 to 117. The ministers and the leaders of the opposition again met in cordial agreement and ﬁrm alliance on the dis- cussion of the measure, which it will be remembered gives quiet possession of property on a prescriptive enjoyment of twenty-five’ years possession, except in the case of cliapc's which the donors founded for the preaching ofdo‘ctrines dis- tincily speciﬁed.

It is supposed that the Emperor ofRussia. during his week’s visit to England, distributed about £25,000 in acts of libe- rality. ' r

I: is stated that Crockford, ofgainliling notoriety, has left £350,000 to his widow. He once kept a ﬁslimongcr‘s shop near Temple Bar, London.

Sir James Graham has intimated that Wednesday next has been ﬁxed for the reception of the deputation of the corporation ofDublin, with the address to her Majesty, rcs~ peeling the sentence of Mr. O'Connell and the other traversers. .

The proceedings-iii the Dublin Court of Queen’s Bench, in the caSe'of' the Queen versus O’Connell aiul others, have closed with the despatch of the writ oferror to London ; it was allowed last week, without opposition to the crown.

The authorities ofRiclunond Penitentiary have put some restrictions upon the wholesale admission of visuors; they areno longer allowed to inscribe their names iii a book for publication ;’ and deputations to present addresses to Mr. O’Connell are not admitted. The Freeman’s Journal notiﬁes, that those visitors ,who wish to have their names 'publi 'd, have only-toleave a card at the ofﬁce of the uewspape for every one sent to Mr.O’Connell.

“ That the state trials, aiitl their result, have produced in tlzcgrrat couiniui‘iitirs with which we are connector], [and throughout the whole country, a strong apprehension that life, liberty, and property cannot. be safe as‘long as an ad' ministration so hostile to the national sentiment, and s0 0b- noxious to the people, continues in power.

“ That ifanylliing could increase-the popular exaspera- tion it is this: that while, on the one haiitl, the most oppres- sivc measures have been resorted to, under the forms of law ——on the other, ministers have been (lcludin'g the Irish tia- Iion, by holding out, even in the Speech from the Throne, hopes of a just extension of its electoral rights, at the very time that they contemplated the introduction Ofthe measure now before parliament, which, it'it become law, will almost annihilate the Ii'iiscrnble franchise we possess.

Two very striking proofs of advancing civilisationlis been recently afforded in two places where we hon least have thought oflooking for them—Sweden: Turkey. I i

In 1812 a royal ordinance was published by BFRN DOT’I‘E, strictly prohibiting all communication with“ n ofthe surviving descendants of the unfortunate GUST vcs ADOLPHUS.

Yet, in the face oftliis foolish protest, and power by which it was supposed to be upheld, the yo King has most wisely issued an ordinance, in which " '. voluntarily (and unconditionally revokes the prohibit of his predecessor. He believes that his throne is base , upon the hearts of his people; and that if it be not, prohibitions can make it secure. This is a piece é ' sound policy which would be equal to the intelligeth I the age any whore, and which is boyonil it in Sweden“.

The other instance is the abolition of torture in Tiit key, as a means ofpi'mmrinp= evidence or confessions I guilt. This reI‘eieud iniquity has been recently brm‘tg 1 into disrepute by an accusation against an Englishman wrung from some wretched prisoner in. a innutontofde" pair—perhaps under the hope of escaping further agon The Englishman was found to be completely ‘innoce’h of the crime imputed to him, upon which SIR STRA'P FORD CANMNG very properly brought the whole offs" . under the immediate consideration of the Sublime Port. The result was a notiﬁcation from the Sultan to all u; ple in authority, strictly forbidding the employment , torture for the future. ‘

One of the most ludicrous meetings was that of the Dublin law-clerks, on Sunday: they address Mr. O’Connell as “ be- loved Sire,” and “ great beloved Sire ;” declare that “ with a nod” he could have “ uprooted the foundations of society ;” but they undertake 'to obey his injunctions to peace, or to die for him ifrequired. I The Dublin Corporation met on Thursday week last, to consider an address to the Queen, on the subject of Mr. O’- Connell’s imprisonment; praying her “to vindicate the con- stitution, and protect the rights and liberties of her Majesty’s 'subjects, which have been violated in his person.” An ad- dress in that spirit Was proposed and advocated inseveral heated speeches. Alderman Butt opposed it; and, in some tom )erate strictures, he pointed out one inconsistency of the epealers—thnt While they professed hatred to England, theycried that if they had but had English judges and Eng- lish jurors, they would have had betterjustice! «supporter of the address was Mr. Fitzpatrick, who was on the jury-panel, and was among the forty-eight drawn by ballot, but he was not on thejury: Mr. Butt bantered him on the unbiassed verdict that he would have given! The address was carried, by 40 to 6. , I'I‘haRepealAssociation met on Monday. .In taking the chair, Lord French statﬁd that he had come up to-‘towu for the sole purpose of presenting the Liberator .and his follow-martyrs with two addresses from parishes in his county, the inhabitants ofwhicli were boiling with indigna- tion at Mr. O’Connell’s unjust and unmerited conviction, quail had resolved, “Come wool, comer’wo," that on their
