ALQERIA.
Letters from Algeria give the most harrowing accounts of the condition of the people, One correspondent writes :— • The Arabs continue to eat their compatriots and the children of Europeans.At Kandouri three Arab, women, who were lodged and fed for three days in the house of a colonist, drowned his son, a boy of 12 years, and then ate hini, afterwards confessing the atrocity to the father. Therehavebeenmanyassassinatiohs of Europeans by Arabs in our neighborhood (only three miles from the town of Algeria). The French are much excited and alarmed, and blame the authorities for not affording them better protection against the natives. Marshal M'Mahon and the archbishop are at open : war, the former accusing the latter of making mischief by his efforts at proselytising, and the other retorting that it is the system of government which , is at fault, and that the Mussulman cannot assimilate with the Frenchman, and that they will always be enemies. Public opinion is on the whole with the archbishop.
