THE WEEK .
IHE CouiiT . —There is little to report this week of the proceedings tit AVindsor . The Queen continues in good health and , with her children , waks and rides , daily in the environs of the castle . The principal visitors have been the Duchess of Kent , the Duke of Cambridge , tbe French ambassador , and Jltnc . de Persigny ,-uid Air . Sydney Herbert . Tiie Prince and Princess Frederick AAlliiam of Prussia , according to present arrangements , will arrive at Windsor Castle , on a visit to Iter Majesty and the Prince Consort , this day . The infant Prince Frederick
AVilliam Victor Albert will not accompany his illustrious parents , it being the law in Prussia that the heir apparent shall not leave the country without the permission of the Diet . FOREIGN NEWS . —Tho Emperor of the French , with the imperial court , were to have left Paris for Compiegne on Tuesday or Wednesday . AVell informed Paris correspondents say that , notwithstanding all tho threats aud cajolery of the imperial government , it is manifest that France has lost the goodwill of Russiaexcited tho hatred and distrust
, of Germany and England , and forfeited tho powerful support of tbe church , her only compensation being that she lias obtained a close alliance with Austria , which may be regarded rather as an incumbrance than anything else . It is asserted that the joint expedition of Franco and Spain against Morocco was organised at Madrid during the visit of Marshal Pelissier ; and ho alludes to ,-i report that a secret treaty was concluded at the same time between tbe two countries , pledging France to in tho at all hazards
support Spain enterprise . Tho Patrie asserts that the congress will take place , the adhesion cf tho British cabinet being no longer doubtful , and adds , that even the absence of England would not have prevented the meeting . It is pleasant to observe that , in presence of tbe virulent abuse whicli is poured out upon England by the French press , one writer—a statesman remarkable for his talents and high character—has dared to take his in our defence in a masterl
up pen y article in the Couvricr du Dimanche , upon the various questions now occupying tho public mind , and in which he protests against the insane denunciations against us . The Moniteur contains the following notice : The Comspondant has received a first warning for an article by the Count cle Alontalembert , entitled , " The Pope Pius IS . and France iu 18-19 and 1850 . " The Moniteur states the reasons of this avertisscment , viz ., that in condemning the war carried on by France , in Italy , as having caused the annihilation
of the temporal authorit y of the Pope , the article litis quite distorted the results of the war , and calumniated tho policy of the emperor . It is also insulting to tho nations allied with France , and tho comparison which the writer of the article designed ! valid offensively make- * between the names of Alachiavelli and those of Napoleon III . anil tiie King of Sardinia , is detrimental to that respect which iii duo to the emperor . The Ami de la Religion has also received a first warning for
published the above article of the Correspondent- in its columns The JJointeiy contains an article which first gives an account of the
attacks of the Moroccans on the French territory during the months of August and September last . The article then proceeds thus : — " The daring and the culpable behaviour of those tribes deserved a severe chastisement . The whole western portion of Algeria was continuall y in an agitated state . The safety of the tribes under our rule was everywhere seriously threatened ; it became necessary to act with energy , and therefore au expedition was decided upon . " The following telegraphic message received by government shows that this expedition has
begun its work with determination : — "General Alartimprey to the General Randon , minister of war . —After an engagement of three hours the 2 nd regiment of Zouaves fixed its victorious eagle on the defile Ain-Tacouralt , where the whole expeditionary corps bivouac . AA ' e have no serious losses . " Bcni Snassen , having received strong reinforcements , commenced hostilities on the 17 th ult ., by a well sustained nnisketeering fire , but he did not dare to approach our position . By the Madrid journals wc tire informed that the news of tiie war with Alorocco had
been received with the utmost joy throughout Spain . On the other hand , we are told that the Emperor of Alorocco , irritated by the energetic attitude of Spain , had withdrawn his propositions . The Europeans were rapidly retiring from Tangiers . Alarshal O'Dounell was to take his departure from Madrid on Tuesday . Offensive operations against Alorocco will commence ou the 7 th or Sth of November . General Zabala will take the command in chief of tbe army until the arrival of the Count de Lucena . Generals Olano , Teron , aud Quesada , left on
Saturday for Algesiras . A semiofficial communique iu the Paris papers runs thus : — " The statement that France has supplied Spain with resources for operating against Alorocco is not correct . France does not co-operate with Spain in her operations against Alorocco . In spite of this communique , letters from well-informed persons state most positively , that AL Afou has made a request for materiel of war , to which Alarshal Randon , Minister of AA ,-ir , has given his consent .
