" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object than to fill their ow❑ purses.

We were assured, before leavinF, Cadiz, that after the tempests that prevailed in No- Tember we might reasonably expect a month of fine weather. Nevertheless, on the 30th ult. and Ist inst. we had a hurricane and too much rain to be pleasant, but we hope that was the finale of the bad weather of 1859 in Africa, and that the good time is now setting in. It is of the utmost import ance to the health of the army, and also to its opera tions, that such should be the case. I have just been informed that 300 of the ivesi darios or galley slaves,chosen from among the best ,sonducted, are this day to be armed, to serve as aoldiers against the Moors. You are aware, as are probably most of your readers, that Ceuta is a pre sidia a depot of galley slaves, the Brest or Toulon of Spain. In the present circumstances there is plenty of employment for these gentry, whom one meets everywhere in gangs, or by twos and threes, employed in transporting goods and stores, and in every sort of hard work. With their coarse, :brown dresses, rugged physiognomies, and clank 'mg chains, they are not wanting in a certain gloomy picturesqueness. Many are here for mur der, or at least for killing men in impromptu duels with knives, an offence for which, at least in Southern Europe, murder would perhaps be deemed rather too hard a term. A moment of passion has doubtless brought many to wear out a wretched life in the Ceuta galleys. I was in a boat lately with a Spanish officer of rank, and in the bow sat a tall man itithe convict uniform, who held his field glass. I was struck by the expression of his features ; it did not seem to me that of a hardened criminal—one of those faces on which every bad passion is to be traced, so frequently seen among convicts, but rather that of a man who had suffered terribly from despondency and degradation. "He is the son of one of my tenants," the officer said; "he killed a man in a dem*. (duel or single combat) and was sent here." The convicts enjoy a large range of liberty --at least it appears so by comparison with the far stricter guardianship of some other foreign bagnios. It may be supposed there is little temp tation for them to escape, since they could hardly go anywhere except to the Moors, whom they would be likely to find no easy taskmasters. Never theless, a great many have run away, and the num ber of those supposed to be now with the Moors has been stated to me at a figure which seems almost incredible. It is said that the Moors intend employing them as soldiers in the present war. I had no time to write to you during my short stay at Cadiz, or it was my intention, although my mission here is not political, to make some remarks on the suspicions and odium which England seems lately to have incurred in Spain with respect to this Morocco expedition, and especially since the publi cation in the Gazette of the correspondence between the two Governments. From what was told me at Cadiz, and judging from conversations that took place before me, there seems to be almost a convic tion, on the part of Spain at least, that England is favouring the Moors, 'and even lending them actual assistance. One principal ground for this belief seemed to consist in the circumstance of Mr. Drum mond Hay's remaining at Tangier, or at any rate going on shore there daily, while-sleeping on board a British ship—whichever was the true account of ike case. Whether he be still there or not Ido not know, for people here are too busy to attend much to such matters, and I have scarcely seen a newspaper of any kind since my arrival. But then he was known, or positively stated to be there, and the Spaniards asked what on earth he could be doing there, unless he were comforting the Moors with his counsel and assisting' their preparations for defence. Of course, the theme was improved, and gave rise to the most imaginative assertions. It was said that British officers made frequent visits to Tangier, instructing the Moors how to la) their gunsY.amLso forth. This is decidedly false as regards the officers of. the garrison of Gibraltar. I was most positively assured by two officers of that garrison, who were both at Gibraltar and at Cadiz at the same time as myself, that no officers had been over to Tangier. However, the Spaniards are not to be persuaded on that head ; you would find it scarcely possible to convince them that English offi cers have not been instructing the Moorish Empe ror's artillerymen. It was even strongly reported.l and I dare say believed by many, that 25 English were among the killed or prisoners taken in tht combat of November 25. This is better than thr Russians at the Peiho. lam informed, and have had partial opportunity of observing, that the Spanish papers, even those which are generally favourable to England, have been lately unanimous in assailing our Government and that portion of our press which has opposed the expedition to Mo- rocco. The publication of the communications be tween Lord John Russell, Mr. Buchanan, and the Spanish Minister for Foreign Affairs may in part have been the cause of this, but the most recent cause of irritation, at least in the South, has been our Consul's remaining in or off Tangier. The Spaniards asked what occasion he had to remain there when all under his protection had been with drawn and the other Consuls had left. Mr. Hay is believed to have very great influence with the 1 Moorish Government, in whose behalf it is also as serted in Spain that his sympathies are enlisted. On this head I know nothing of my own knowledge or otherwise than by common report; perhaps at this time of writing, the cause of all this anger has been removed by his departure. If the English Govern ment retained him at Tangier when everybody else had left, it doubtless had its reasons. Ido but state the fact, that by so doing it made a great deal of bad blood in Spain towards England. DEC. 4. I have little to add to the above. A reconnais same was made yesterday towards our left, on ground overlooking the coast in the direction of Tetuan. Four battalions went out. A few Moors were seen, but there was no fighting. In the after noon the Spanish gunboats were firing upon the Moors. There is a report this morning, not yet con firmed, that the enemy in our front yesterday re ceived a large reinforcement—as many, it is said, as 5,000 men. If this be true, they probably medi tate an attack. Up to this moment, however, no orders have been issued from headquarters indica ting an expectation of work to be done, and the im pression this morning seems to be that we shall do nothing of importance until the arrival of the Third Corps from Malaga, which it is now said will disembark at Ceuta. A Sardinian vessel has arrived with horses and mules from Malaga. if the Third Corps does come hero the people of Ceuta will risk a famine. This large assembly of troops in and around so small a place makes everything extremely dear. The supplies that used to be obtained from the Moors in time of peace are, of course, cut off. The Spanish Government would perhaps have done wisely to declare Ceuta a free port for the time being, a measure which would doubtless have caused supplies of various kinds to flow in. As it is, all that is brought or produced is devoured on the instant. There are times when bread is not to be obtained at any price. An officer told me yesterday that he had paid three reals (Bd.) for two eggs. Meat is often extremely scarce, and its quality is sometimes such as to give rise to unpleasant suspicions that one is eating a bit of one of the unfortunate beasts that sicken on the passnge, and breathe their last in the mud at the landing-place. These small difficulties are, of course, inseparable from a campaign of this sort, even at its commencement, and they seem cheerfully borne by all. Ceuta is at present almost as crowded and bustling as Balaklava used to be, but is exempt from the disagreeables of the latter place. The streets are thoroughly paved, sloping down to a central kennel, and are generally very clean. It is different in camp and on the road up to it, or at least it would be so if we had much rain. Two or three hours of wet the other night made a great deal of heavy slippery mud, through which horses BANK OF ENGLAND.

The skirmish of the 30th ult., of which I spoke in my last, was of rather more i'.nportance, esti mated by the loss on the side of the Spaniards, than lat the time believed. We had about 230 killed and wounded, but the wounds of more than half of that number were of a very slight description. It may be imagined that many soldiers weary of lying under a scanty tent on bleak hills are not sorry to avail themselves of a scratch. as a pretext for three or four days of better quarters, even in an hospital. From this, however, it is not to be inferred that the troops show any indisposition for the work they have come here to do. As far as Icould observe, on the 30th they displayed abundant alacrity and eager ness, and their officers express themselves well pleased with their conduct. All, however, that has as yet taken place can hardly be said to be more than skirmishing, with the exception of the fight of the 25th, which appears to have been a sharp little com bat. I have heard one or two persons talking of five " actions" in 11 days, and seeming to think the cam paign already begun, but this can be looked upon only as an exaggeration, especially when we have the great events of the Italian and Crimean wars still fresh in our memories. The present can, of course, not be a great war, bat it may prove a very haras sing one, and may give occasion for the display of the soldier's best qualities. I shall consider, the campaign as fairly commenced only when we make a decided move from this place ; when we strike our tents and march for Tetuan or Tangier. Against which of those places our first ettOrts will be di rected it is impossible to say ; the Commander-in- Chief confides his plans to no one ! but public opi nion inclines in favour of Tetuan, and some think that the Third Division, which is still at Malaga, will not come here at all, but will be landed in the neighbourhood of the last named African town, while the force now here, or the greater part of it, will move round by the coast to co-operate with it. It must be, one would think, the object of the Ge neral commanding to avoid engaging himself with his army in the mountains, where the Moors' knowledge of the country and the lightness of their equipments would render them troublesome foes, where artillery would have difficulty in acting, and baggage and wounded would prove great encum brances. The Moors would then be to the Spaniards what the Spanish guerillas were to the French on many occasions during the Peninsular war—a swarm of hornets buzzing round a body which could have crushed them in an instant could it have grasped them, but which ever eluded its clutch, and returned again to sting. As regards the reistance that may be expected from the enemy when he is found in larger force and in more considerable encounters, opinions differ so widely that it is almost imposSible to make up one's mind on the subject. There are persons with the army who have resided long in Morocco, and here at Ceuta one meets with others who may be pre sumed to have had sufficient opportunities of judg ing the military qualities of the Moors. Their opi nions differ very strangely. Some talk of the Moor ish Cavalry as formidable, while others declare that it will never venture to approach regular European troops. If we get into the plains we shall have an opportunity of seeing who is right. If the Moorish horsemen be as brave as some report them, great steadiness in square and deliberation in firing will be necessary successfully to resist their onset. Much will depend upon the Spanish officers, and the conduct of those in the recent affairs I have heard highly eulogised by some of the chiefs. They were to be seen, I heard a general officer say two days ago, everywhere at the head of their men, leading them on well in front, and charging first over the obstacles behind which. the enemy shel tered himself. The officers of inexperienced troops, new to war, and confronted with an enemy who is notoriously addicted to and skilful in stratagems and surprises, have double need not only of the ut most coolness and presence of mind, but also to en courage their men by setting them an example of daring, and by showing themselves willing to take the largest share of danger. The arrivals of troops from Cadiz still continue. Three stesmers came in this morning, laden with soldiers, horses, and mules. As usual at the com mencement of a campaign, especially among people to whom such matters are a complete novelty, not a little confusion seems to prevail at the places of embarkation. One hears officers bewailing things belonging to them have been left behind, and with out which they cannot move forward. Some have been here for days whose horses or baggage animals are still at the Trocadero awaiting shipment ; others miss their servants, and some can get no ac count of their baggage. The little quay of Ceuta is a busy scene, heaped with stores of every kind — flour, barley for the horses, bread and biscuit, and all the numerous et caatzTas indispensable for the support of an army. Besides the newly-arrived vessels in the bay aro large lighters and the heavy sauare horse-boats receiving provisions and cattle. The beasts sent for rations seem, for some reasons to me unknown, to suffer more than the horses and mules. In company with some offi cers who were seeking expected property, I visited early this morning the three steamers that had just arrived, and on our return we passed a boat in the bottom of which lay prostrate three or four oxen, apparently dying, but certainly in very evil plight. This most probably arises from overcrowding in heated holds. Of the sanitary state of the army it is not easy to get at reliable accounts. There have been cases of cholera, but as little as possible is said about it, and I suspect dysentery to be the more frequent com plaint. I have no grounds for believing that there is much illness among the troops—not more at least than might be expected in an army suddenly en camped on exposed heights in a season of high winds and heavy rains, where the midday sun is very powerful and the nights are very cold. We have now had two dry days. To-day is beautiful, the wind has lulled, the sun is brilliant, and all is life FROM THE GAZETTE OF LAST NIGHT CROWN-OFFICE, DEC. 14.

As I predicted in my letter of yesterday, the weather, fine for a day, speedily relapsed into its precious inclemency. At noon yesterday it blew a gale, which soon swelled into a perfect hurri cane, accompanied by showers of very heavy rain. At three p.m. it was doubtful whether the steamer, the Buena Ventura, that was to take the post to Algesiras, would be able to cross the Straits. As I then came up to camp lam unable to Ray whether or not she finally left the har bour. The evening and night were worthy of the afternoon. It was not a mere storm, but a con tinuous hurricane. We dined in momentary expec tation of the tent descending upon the table and upon ourselves, and slept, as far as it was possible, with similarly agreeable anticipations. The conti nual flapping of canvass and occasional bursts of rain were varied only by the monotonovs Sentinela alerta ! repeated every half hour by the long line of sentries that protect the camp. The day broke, cloudy and dreary, upon damaged tents and a deso late prospect. At the present time (half -past 8 a.m.) there is little appearance of improvement. The aspect of the camp is uncomfortable enough. Some are struggling with their loosened tents, knocking in pegs, which the softened ground will hardly re tain, mending broken poles, and straining damp canvass, while others are making efforts, generally not successful, to get up something in the shape of breakfast. Here is a general philosophically con tenting himself with a cup of half-cold chocolate, the first morning refection of most Spaniards ; yon der an unintelligent servant pours lukewarm water into a pot, and evidently imagines that he is making tea. The soldiers, poor fellows, must have had a bad time of it during the past night, with no better shelter than their little tentes d'abri, on the French model ; and as for those in front of all, up on the elevated redoubt, it is wonderful some of them have not been blown over into the deep valley their po sition overlooks. An attack by the Moors was all that was wanted to complete the disagreeables of the night, but, luckily, what was bad for us was equally so for them, and they would have had no easy work to make their way towards us in the teeth of the tempest and over most difficult ground, soddened and slippery from rain. Moreover, the Spanish forces are now very considerable. Troops have been daily arriving, and the two esips (Tame° (Ist and 2d) must now be nearly or quite complete. The 3d will hardly be able to come here from Ma laga until the weather moderates, of which, at the present moment, there is not the smallest sign. We learn that another division is being formed of troops raised in the north of Spain (the Basque provinces, I believe), and that,as soon as completed it will move down southwards. In presence of the extremely unfavourable aspect of the weather, it seems matter of general regret that it was not con sidered possible to postpone the opening of the cam paign until a less stormy and inclement season. Had it commenced at the beginning of February there would have been three months to operate in before the heat became at all oppressive, and time would thus have been obtained for preparations which at present have been but imperfectly made. [f this weather lasts it will be quite impossible to do anything, and meantime the troops outlying, Ind exposed to inclemency, cannot but suffer greatly from sickness. I fear last night will have sent not i, few into hDspital. Lying upon the damp ground with a greatcoat and blanket for their sole protec• ion, cannot but lead to dysentery and other dis srders. If we got only a fortnight of settled fine weather, exempt from rain and wind, we might do something—probably take Tctuan,but shall we get it? One forms an idea that the climate of North Africa must much resemble that of Southern Spain, and that the soft breezes which render Malaga so genial a residence are also to be found. on the coast of Morocco. This is a manifest delusion. The Cell tans tell me that the weather we now have is very common here at this season, an I that about Christ mas they are generally visited by piercing blasts from the north, while snow is not unfrequently ieen upon the mountains. Ido not wish to sketch the prospects of this army in gloomy colours, but I fear that, without any reference to the results of their encounters with the enemy, their loss from sickness will inevitably be very considerable. As it is, I have this momentbeen informed, from a good source, that the sanitary state of the army, although not such as to inspire alarm, is by no means satis factory, and the number of sick men one daily meets going from the front into the town, borne on stretchers, is sufficient to give a certain confirma tion to this statement. While the weather continues in its present state there will be little to write to you as regards the army. All is waiting and expectancy. It is now 2 p.m., the wind still high, although its force has somewhat abated, and the sea very rough. Over the range of hills to our front, where the Moors have their fastnesses, hangs a dense grey cloud, seemingly laden with humidity and storm. There are no arrivals of transports. The post-boat got out yesterday, late in the afternoon. Doubts are entertained as to the departure of to-day's mail. Gibraltar is dimly dis cernible through the mist that shrouds the straits. Various are the aspects of the double-headed rock as seen from this, the opposite continent. Sometimes it stands out, in leaden solidity, a dark grey mass ; at others, through a clearer atmosphere, one discerns the white lines of its houses and fortifications; now it glitters in the full sunlight, or, as I the other morning saw it, one half is bright and clear, while the other, less favoured by the beams, remains of a uniform dark slate colour. There stands the head and front of England's offending in Spanish eyes. Gibraltar is the thorn in the Spaniard's side, which may bo forgotten while greater evils press and gall him, but whick he is prone to revert to when those have passed away, and prosperity appears about to return. Of late, as may be easily imagined, the discussions re lative to the Morocco expedition, the representations of the British Cabinet on the subject, and the ru mours of misunderstandings, and even of a possible rupture between the English and French Govern ments, have revived the old grief and given promi nence to the vexed question. One hears frequent conversations about Gibraltar—about its capacity of resistance under the altered conditions of modern warfare, and concerning the possibility of its rescue from British hands, either by friendly or by forcible means. Lately, I am told, in one of the large towns of Southern Spain a toast was given to the effect that Gibraltar might, within a year, be crowned with the Spanish standard. Of course, it would be easy to multiply and improve upon such sentiments, and to drink to the recovery of Mexico and of the whole of Spanish America, but the toast shows the bent of public feeling at this m oment. There is litt le use in reasoning with Spaniards on the subject ; it is one that touches t h e i r national pride , and t hat they will not long regard from any other point of view. Besides Marshal O'Donnell, we have now two Lieut.-Generals here—Zabala and Prim. The divi sion commanded b y the former (second) lately moved forward and relieved the first, which was in the advanced line. The commander of the latter division, Major-General Echague, is at present in Ceuta, getting cured of a wound in his hand, which he received in the affair of the 25th of November. O'Donnell lives in a tent of very moderate dimen sions, and in no very sheltered position, and shares the discomforts of his officers, which, under present circumstances, are not a few.

Pending the arrival of better weather and more stirring times, there is little to do here, sale to ride up to the front or down into Ceuta, which latter is, indeed, within an easy walk from head-quar- , ters. At the front, when one has been there once or twice, there is not much to be seen, and the roads, or rather tracks, are rough, steep, and trying to horses. The advanced redoubt men tioned in former letters forms the right of our - position. Beyond it, more to the right, but slightly to the rear of the line or the redoubt is another emi nence crowned by a small building known as the Casa del Renegado. To this house a legend is at tached of an escaped galley-slave, who, unable either to return to his countrymen or forget his country, established his residence there, in order to be within constant view of the beloved Spanish shore. Such is the tale told here, and, whether true or not, worse subjects have been used by the ballad-maker than the heintsucht of the unhappy convict. The rene gade's house is not occupied by the Spaniards, although their light infantry went up there on the 80th. The Moors go up there, but as its position includes it in our line, they quickly abandon it on any appearance of a forward move on ourpart. For the last day or two they have been very quiet. Probably they like the bad weather as little as we do. DEc. 6. The same dearth of news; the weather mending, but still cloudy and uncertain. The Commander-in- Chief rode out yesterday in front of the redoubt with some Staff officers and troops. Very few Moors were seen, and not a shot was fired. We hear that at Madrid people are in a fever of impatience for news from the seat of war, and in hourly expectation of some great victory. If they Saw a.little of the difii• culties this army has to contend with, mainly as regards the weather, they would understand the ne cessity of taking patience. The lull in the wind this morning, should it continue, will probably enable Ros de Olano's corps to commence its movement. But there seems no security for a calm of any du- ration in these seas, and 10,000 or 11,000 men, with corresponding baggage, stores, horses, and mules, are not shipped in a day in Spain, even were there transports sufficient. I should say it would be very qUick work indeed, judging from the past, if the Third Corps were landed complete in Africa within an entire week of the movement of its first detachment from Malaga. Then, none of the ea- valry has come—that is to say there are 250 horses or thereabouts, for escort and orderly duty, but there are to be 2,000 with this army altogether. . . . the bulk of which are at Xeres and in its vicinity. The transport of horses is what costs the most time, the Spanish horses being for the most part ticklish and fidgety, and hard to sling. At the Trocadero ,he other day it took the whole morniEg to get about 80 on hoard a steamer, although that was due in great part to the inexperience of the men em- ployed. Then, when they get here, if there is any sea on, there is a heavy surf, and landing them is not easy. In short, it seems to me difficult that any thing of importanse should be done within a week, unless Marshal O'Donnell intends commencing the _ _ _ campaign with the two corps and General Prim's reserve (I estimate them at 25,000 men, certainly not more), already here, and leaving the others to come up afterwards. This may be his intention ; nothing has transpired of his plan. Whether we are to begin with Tangier or Tetuan is still a favou rite subject of conjecture. Some think the former, because, if we took Tetuan, we should have to weaken ourselves by leaving a considerable force here, owing to the size of the place and its small means of defence. The post closes at noon, and is likely to leave punctually to-day, the weather having decidedly improved. The report concerning tho health of the army is that cholera is rather prevalent, but not very malignant. At the first symptoms the' men are taken down to hospital and cared for, and I am assured that the percentage of deaths on cases is not more than 15 or 20 per cent. I have received from an officer who took a prominent part in it some details of the action of the 25th, which appears to have been sharply contested. The Moors fought bravely, chiefly from behind trees, to which they cling like serpents, shifting round them so as to present the least possible mark to the enemy. Their espingardas, ve ry long-barrelled guns, require a prop for their aim to be all sure. When thus sup ported, I am assured that they will kill at 400 paces. On the 25th a battalion of the Regiment of Merida got into the rear of a large body of Moors, who were defending a wood, and charged them with the bayonet, killing a good many of them. When thus attacked they take their guns by the barrel and use them as clubs. This mode of defence is found very ineffec tual against the bayonet, with which the little Spanish soldiers run in upon them. The Moors are described to me, by persons who have been in close contact with them, and have seen many of their dead bodies, as extremely fine men, most of them tall, not a few nearly six feet high, bearded, and of various complexions, varying from black, or nearly so, to a tint almost as white as that of most Europeans.. They are extremely dirty and wretchedly clad, a white haik (a sort of tunic with a hood) being their only garment. Their stature, their wild and ferocious appearance and horrible yells, might have been expected, perhaps, to have an intimidating effect upon troops of which the ma jority are mere recruits ; but such does not appear to have been the case. The officers engaged in the combat of the 25th are highly satisfied with their behaviour, and express themselves perfectly con fident of their standing firm against Moorish cavalry, as they have already done against the at tacks of the infantry. According to an account that has just reached me, and in which I have reason to place confidence, the corps of General Ros de Olano will not come here, but will land on the coast near Tetuan, on which place we shall march as soon as the weather permits. The Moors are said to have 20,000 men between Tangier and Tetuan, so, if they mean to fight, we may expect an action before reaching the ,atter place. [ADVERTISEMENT.] —Holloway's! Ointment and Pills.— In all sores, wounds, and sprains, Holloway's ointment is the most efficient application. It at once gives ease, by allaying inflammation and moderating the flow of blood to the part. Wheneve r the malady has been of long stand ing, the ointment should be assisted by Holloway's purify ing pills, which act upon the stomach and liver; guarding digestion from falling into that disordered state which the pain, restlessness, and fever attending these ailments is apt to produce, and which much retards recovery, and Rome times even makes serious the slightest case. No mother or nurse should want these noble remedies, equally appli cable to all ages and constitutions. They purify the blood, regulate its circulation, renew diseased structures, and re invigorate the system.
