Ar.n-ia-KADER. — The Monitcur Algerrin of the 2f)tli ultimo, publishes a long account o( the suvicnder of Abd cl Kader, from which we extract the following : " At six in the evening the J£mir arrived with Generals Lamoiieie and Cavignac, and Lieutenant-Colonel do Beaufort, and was introduced to the Duke d'Aumalc. Conforming himseli to his present circumstances, lia humbly put ofThis sandals at the tlncsholdi <md stood till the piince made a sign to him to be seated. Aflcr a moment's silence, lie dcliveicd the following woids, which were lnterpicted by M. Ilosseau, the principal inlerjjrcter :— ' I would have done sooner what I have now done, but I have waited for the hour appointed by God. The Gcncr.il has given me a piomise, upon which I have relied 1 have no (car of its being vio-« lated by the son of so great a king as the King of the French. I ask his amen for my family, and for myself.' His Royal Highness, fin a few simple words, confirmed the promise of bis lieutenant, and with dignity took leave of Abd-el-Kadcr, towauls whom hcnccfoiih must be snppiesscd all the passions ot the eaily days of the late long sliuggle. Tents were laised within the cnclosuie of the hospital of Nemours for Abd-el Kadec and his family, into which he and they were conducted. In the morning there was a list ceremony, which must h<ive severely wounded his piidc. On the return of 1113 Royal Highness from reviewing the cavalry, which was about to return to camp, the ex-Sultan came forth 011 horseback, suriounded by his principal chiefs, and alighting a few slops from the Prince, said to him, ' I ofl'cr you this hoi!»e, the last I have ridden, as a testimony of my gratitude, and X hope it will bring you good fortune' The Piincc lephcd, 'l accept it as a homage tendered to IVance, whose protection will hencetorwaid be your shield, and as a sign of oblivion of the past.' The Emir then saluted the Prince with great dignity, and returned on foot to his tent."
