organized anew in February; tribunals de première instance were established at Algiers, Bonu and Oran, and also a Cour Royale at Algiers. In April, General Bugeaud made an expedition to provision Medeah and Miliana, and had several skirmishes with the Arabs. In May he accompanied an expeditionary force again to Mostaganem and Tegdempt, which last place they found abandoned and in flames: he completed its destruction. He then occupied Mascara, which was also deserted, and left there a strong garrison. On June the 3rd the army returned to Mostaganem, after a sharp action. Meanwhile General Barraguay d'Hilliers, at the head of the Division of Algiers, quitted Blida. He left a convoy at Medcah, destroyed the fort of Borar (fifteen leagues distant), which he found on fire, and two days afterwards he in like manner destroyed Thaza (twelve leagues south of Milianah), which was also deserted and on fire: after provisioning that city the army returned to Blida, having scarcely fired a shot. The campaign of this spring was pushed with vigour: without regarding the movements of the enemy, the French pursued their object in a straight course, establishing at distant points garrisons sufficiently strong to intimidate the Arabs, and even to attempt expeditions. General Bugeaud spread proclamations among the Arabs, which produced only the effect of calling forth dignified and courageous replies from Abdel-Kader. A large portion, however, of the powerful tribe of the Medjehers joined the French, and General Bugeaud appointed one of their chiefs Bey of Mascara.

The autumn campaign opened with the re-provisioning some places. In October the Arabs made a vigorous but ineffectual attack on Mascara. Meanwhile at Oran, notwithstanding the apparent security of the native allies of the French, the Arabs surprized them and carried off women, children and cattle, almost under the walls of the city. General Bugeaud arrived at Oran, and on the 13th of October started again upon an expedition which lasted above seven weeks: he then returned to Mostaganem. This campaign, which was the longest that had been undertaken, greatly weakened Abdel-Kader, but more by harassing the Arabs, who began to be tired of the war, than open fighting. The fort of Saida, nine leagues south of Mascara, abandoned like the

others, was destroyed; but a circumstance of much greater importance was the accession of the tribes of the Yakoubia to the French, with whom they conjointly attacked AbdelKader. The head-quarters were established at Mascara, and the garrison raised to 6000 men. In December the tribe of the Tafna surrendered to the French, and the power of Abdel-Kader appeared to be sinking on every side. Whatever may be the ultimate destiny of this man, his name will live in history, and posterity will render honour to his patriotism, his heroic valour and military skill: by his influence, activity and tactics, he aroused a spirit of nationality among the scattered tribes, enlisted them in a common cause, and consolidated the remains of a power which had been broken for ages: his genius supplied the resources which civilization confers upon great nations, and, with a population weak, divided and often hostile, Abdel-Kader succeeded in commanding the general obedience and attachment, in subduing rivalry, and during twelve years in disputing the power of France in Algeria. We shall conclude this article with some statistical details, derived from authentic sources. The European population of Algeria was as follows from 1832 to 1812:

The total population of those parts of Algeria in which it had been ascertained, amounted to 59,336, distributed as follows:-Algiers, 38,097.-Oran, 8562.-Bona, 6469.-Philippeville, 3411.-Bougic, 491.-Mostaganem, 2112.-Cherchel, 191.

The transport of this merchandize, in 1839, employed 3472 vessels, of 185,973 tons burden and carrying 23,862 sailors: of thesc, 142 vessels, of 23,524 tons and 1398 sailors, were English. The value of the English imports amounted to 4,064,184 francs.

In 1840, 4891 vessels were employed, of 362,795 tons burden, with 36,841 sailors; of these, 197 vessels were English, of 31,699 tons and 2000 sailors. The value of the English imports amounted to 6,236,605 francs. The coral fishery in 1838 employed 245 vessels, of 3123 tons burden, and yielded 1,983,000 francs; but in 1840 this fishery produced only 666,450 francs.
