Desperate fighting ensued, and continued for several hours, with heavy loss on both sides. It is further stated that the Arabs have broken down tbe aqueduct vvhich supplies the city of Tunis with water. Great alarm continues to be felt throughout the Principality at the attitude of the native tribes.
