Published in the "Household Physician," in numbors, one penny eaoh by G. Berger, 19, Holywcii-street, SLPAU(I,- ienl7, Froml to 9 now SPAIN .AND MOROCCO. (From the Times' Special Corresp9),tdent.) CAMP IN FRONT OF CEUTA, DEC. 16. Yesterday General Prim again went out with a few battalions to protect the sappers working at the road towards Tetuan. On his return in the after noon the Moors came down, and there was a slight skirmish, in which we had between 20 or 30 men killed and wounded. The moors must have suffered more, for Prim prepared a little ambush for them as they came on after his retiring columns. He placed two companies under cover, who sent a vol ley into the unsuspecting Moors at short distance. The firing lasted till dark, as usual. A gunboat and two small steamers.fired a good deal, but their practice was but indifferent. The Moors caught a wounded Spanish soldier, who had been overlooked by his:comrades. The latter missing him, hurried back to his rescue, and drove away the Moors just as these had cut off his head ; which, however, they were in too great haste to carry off. It is positively stated and believed in camp that the Moorish Em peror grants a dollar for every head, and four for every live Spaniard brought in. We aro not aware that any four dollar premiums have yet been gained. Tne galley slaves, who have been armed, and who fight desperately, and have had a good many killed and wounded, have been promised a dollar for every live Moor they bring in, and they go out out of nights on the prowl, in hopes of cap tures. Although the much higher price offered by the Moorish Government for living than for dead' would serve to indicate a desire to humanise the war, it has hitherto been carried on entirely without quarter. The Moors began in that way, with a system of pitiless slaughter, and the Spaniards have been exasperated almost to ferocity by this, and now scrupulously folio wtheir example. A very few have been made, and killed by the sol diers before they got into camp, at which General O'Donnell was very wroth. The soldiers say that the Moors will not let themselves be taken ; that they fight desperately until killed ; and this is very likely to be the case in the majority of instances, but it is difficult to believe that some captures, al although only of men wounded, might be made. Tho Moors, they say, lie down and will not rise, and their obstinacy provokes a bayonet thrust. They might, one would think, be bound hand and foot and carried in, and it is not impossible that useful information might be extracted from some of them. Mercy in war is not, however, one of the most conspicuous qualities of Spaniards, and more over there are tales and traditions current of hor rible cruelties which the Moors are in the habit of inflicting on the eneinifis who fall into their hands; and, in fact, the war has at this, its outset, assumed the most sanguinary and ferocious character. I believe any Spaniard would prefer death to falling alive into Moorish hands. Would it be possible to do anything to lessen these horrors ? The British Government is reputed, in Spain, at least, to be on the most friendly terms with the Sovereign of Morocco, whose thief adviser and dearest friend is, by numbers 'of Spaniard; believed to be Mr. Drummond Tday. Without heeding these preju dices and exaggerations, it still is probable that our Government would have no difficulty in giving a more humane character to the present hos tilities. A simple remonstrance with the Emperor of Morocco would, wore it thought proper to make it, unquestionably have a good effect. A sort of Eliot Convention, stipulating quarter and good treatment for pri irmers, ought to be acceptable to both parties, and. might, I should think, easily be brought about., Since I have :referred to England, I may mention that many here remain and will remain convinced that she is countenancing and even clandestinely aiding Morocco in this war, and various silly stories are circulated, and I suppose more or less believed, in support of this unfounded supposition. Scarcely a skirmish occurs after which a rumour does not prevail that Er glishmen assisted in it ; the body of one, we were told the other day, was found, and was easily recognised as English by the fine linen, white hands, and welt-trimmed nails and light hair. Another report was, that a Minie rifle captured from the Spimish Chzadores by the Moors had been sent by Mr. Hay to Sir William Codrington. A variation of th;,s. was said to come from Gibraltar ; it was to the 'effect that it was General Prim's sword that he d been presented ! General Prim is not exactly the man I should select as particularly likely to lose his sword. An English merchant from Gibralt•sr who came over here the other day in the Tweedxide, which brought the electric cable, and rode about the camp and redoubts with some friends, excited the special ire of the army, and is said to have narrowly escaped being stoned in con sequence of his being taken—Heaven knows why —for the edi tor of the Gibraltar Chronicle, a jour nal which, as; I believe, without at all deserving it, has got the roc utation of being the supporter and organ of the 31 oorish Government. On the other hand, it appe:irs that the Spanish cause obtains favour among; ;some of the subordinate members of the garrison .of Gibraltar. I am assured that several soldi er a and non-commissioned officers of the Royal Art illery have presented themselves to the Spanish O ❑sul, saying that if he would buy their discharL:s they would be delighted to cross the Straits al n I serve the Queen of Spain.

T will not risk a conjecture as to the period for which the volunteers in question proposed, in their secret souls, to remain with the Queen of Spain after being released from the service of the Queen of Great 13 ritain. The dry weather we had for soave days enjoyed ceased last night towards 12 o'cloc's . Patter came the drops upon the tents, and soon augmented into a deluge. All night it came dov4 n, and all the morning, with brief intervals, and now, at 4 p.m., it seems, if possible, to descend mare heavily than ever. No Morito to-day ; he mist be hid in some nook of the hills, cursing the Christian and striving to keep his powder dry. He will be lucky if he suc ceeds. If this lasts, there will sOorc be nothing dry in the Spanish camp. The tents hold out stoutly, but there are limits to the, resistance of canvas, when assailed by such a drenching, downright rain as that now falling. As one looks u.:p at the narrow roof above him, he sees crystal drops gathering - within it, and small splashing sounils upon box and bed warn him that the enemy is effecting an en trance. So he moves all damageatle commodities from under the penetrated spots, :and resumes his pen or his pistol-cleaning, or any other occupation with which he may be beguiling the tedium of a wet day in camp. The exercise 11:43 geti in trans porting his effects from one place to another in search of a dry spot is perhaps salutary, but is cer tainly disagreeable. If he be new to this kind of misery and of irritable temperament, he probably heaps anathemas upon the tent, its maker, and espe cially upon his unhappy servant, whom he has sum moned to his counsels from some oxterior nook where ho had been lurking, and who stands before him helpless, damp, despairing, and bewildered. If he be an old stager, and has culivated that precious vir tue, patience, he consoles himself with the idea that he is no worse off than his neighbours, rolls up his bed or whatever substitute for it he may possess, puts on his waterproof, lights his cigar, heaps ip his chattels in the middle of his tent, or in whatever part of it may be tolerably dry, climbs upon the top of them and sits there, a philosopher, defying fate. There are no umbrellas in camp, or they would be useful. Perhaps some day we may take them from the Moors, who are said to be curious in that article of furniture, and from whom Marshal I3ugeaud captured the big parasol which was ex hibited in the Tuileries gardens in the peaceful days of the Citizen King, when Louis Napoleon was at Ham and Solferino not dreamt of. Under all the disadvantageous and trying circum stances that have hitherto attended this campaign, commenced in ill-omened haste, in the worst sea ton, and with very insufficient preparation, the good qualities of the Spanish soldier have been conspi cuous. He has been invariably orderly, obedient, contented, and even jolly under circumstances which Mark Tapley himself might have found trying. Satisfied with little, submissive to hardships, he has a fund of insouciance and merriment which bears him up where many would grumble and despond. Drunkenness is unknown in the camp, and crime is consequently rare. To-morrow will complete one month since Echague's (the first) corps landed, and hitherto there has not been a single serious offence in the army, not one court-martial, not one soldier brought up by the gendarmes who act as the police of the camp, not a riot, nor a fight. Wet under his scanty tent, which was devised to exclude sunbeams and not to ward off rain or resist wind, harassed by frequent guards and advanced post duty, out lying pickets by night and unpofitable skirmishes by day, neither his good spirits nor his good hu mour desert him. Put on your waterproof and walk through the camp, on this, a wet Sunday, on the hills of Ceuta, and you shall hear no complaint, behold no doleful faces, but, on the contrary, see many a blithe, cheerful countenance.. Here is a guard just come up, preceded by its reginiental band, and going on wet and weary duty. Were they bound for a parade in the Madrid Prado, they could not look less annoyed at the prescribed duty. They halt just by the tent of the Geneeral-in-Chief, out side of which is standing, regardless and apparently unconscious of the heavy rain, a tall gray-haired man, seemingly about 55 years of age, dressed in a waterproof coat and Macintosh leggings, the only military part of his costume being the " Ros," or Spanish kepi, with three bands of gold embroidery round it, indicating the rank of Captain-General, equivalent to Field-Marshal. llcs head is rather bent, the expression of his countimance is severe, but at the same time not without a certain bon- homie. His brow is somewhat furrowed, but less you would say by years than by the cares and anxie ties, the vigils and fatigues of an active, eventful, and ambitious career. His step LS firm, and when, as sometimes happens, it suddenly lengthens almost into a stride, you perceive that he still retains no small share of the vigour and elasticity of youth. This is Leopold O'Donnell, Coin t of Lucena, the Spaniard, of Irish descent, who is now by far the first man in his country ; who p ossesses a power confirmed by its duration (rare fc .r a Spanish Pre mier of late years), and which ,certainly has the willing support of a great 2r majority of the nation than any of his predecessors for many years past could reckon upon. I think I mentioned in my last Letter that cholera is upon the decrease, and the het% lth of the camp much improved. It is to be hope c t the bad weather will not last long enough to bring back or augment the disease, which is now evidantly dying out. There have been as many as 70 or 80 deai the a-day for days ROYAL ALHAMBRA PALACE CIRCUS, Leicester-square. Two performances daily of the successful Comic Jiarlequinade entitled THE GOLDEN BULL; or Harlequin and the Enchanted Horn, pronounced by the public Press and the SIXTY THOUSAND persons who during the past week visited the Alhambra, to be the most laughable and extraordinary Pantomime ever produced. The astounding feats achieved by the Educated Bull Don Juan, perfectly electrified the audience, while the unparalleled performance of the Aerial Voltigeur, the Great Hurdle Act, the French Vaulting, the new Comic Scenes, the Wild Hunter, thp Chinese Tumblers, the graceful daring and dashing Acts of Equestrianism by the female artistes, the witticisms of the Clowns, &c, combine to form an Entertainment which for variety and magnificence far surpasses anything of a similar description ever previously attempted in this groat metro polis. Morning Performance especially recommended for the visits of the aristocracy, families, and ladies and g e ntle men living at a distance, every day at 2 o'clock.

MIDNIGHT. As, sleep is out of the question, I may as well write and tell you of the evening's disasters. The day, : as I told yon above, was wet, but it was also calm; a lazy mist over sea and shore limited oni view, and' seemed a guarantee agalinst wind ;- bit there are no sure omens in this unfriendly land of Mauritania. -We had but a short time discussed our indifferent stew, and were tranquilly smoking tobacce and arranging what wo would do. when we got to Tetuan, when an *unpleasant howling was heard around the tent; followed: by a blaSt that staggered the poles and Made every thread of can- ..„.. . vas quiver. ".It is coining l" was the cry, and our messmates hurried out to see to the safety of their linen houses. Gust succeeded gust; for a moment we hoped 'that the vi)lence of the wind would drive away the _rain, and at least leave us only one enemy to contend with. Vain hope ! fond delusionsl the two chimed in like brothers. The soaked ground no longer retained the losoned pegs—too short by half; 'oh 1-itigington ; tut-perhapa. you Intended them for no harder work than a cricket match or archery meeting. In fall the sides, through which heavy wet is rapidly pouring. Stand fast, good poles, or we are buried beneath your awning. With out, sounds of diSmay—tents going on' all sides. A perfect hurricane in the streets, - and , rain far sur passing all the douches of all the hydropathisitt. With a puff and slap like that of a ship's Sail blow{ _ out of the ropes, one side of the tent flops in, extin guishing • lights, . breaking bottles, and upsettin ' ' proprietors. But the poles are stanch, and as th - worst-seems over, as far as we are concerned; W step out to look after our neighbours. ' Their in a great quandary.

A slight lull in th storm ; things looking rather better ; we yet may not be reduced to a bivouac. Two or three tent are re•pitched and re-established; people's mindi seem getting more tranquil. But no, the hope W vain. Wind worse than ever—rain, and to complete the banquet, lightning end thunder upon a grand scale. The new cafe and restaurant just established i ' a large square marquee, has utterly disappeared) i and a host of smaller edifices are nowhere. Back) —back into your tents, if tent there still be.

By des- , perate exertions we prop up a sort of nook, into which we creep, enveloped in waterproofs and ac companied by a lantern, and whence I now indite this sketch of our disaster, much impeded by the, rain drops, which contemptuously pass through the canvas as freely as if it was not there and render my writing: nearly illegible. Wind and rain still continue their riot, and do not seem at all tired of the fun or disposed to leave off. They are making 35,000 individuals horribly__uncomfortable ; but what do they, hard-hearted, care? - The diana will for once be -welcome, when it sounds, five hours hence during whfsch we shall have plenty of time to reflect on our faults and follies, and on the rashness of be-i ginning a campaign in Morocco towards the end Oil November. I wonder how Morito fares, yonder ini his gloomy mountains. If he be half as poorly off asi we are, he will probably be wishing, as I suspect many in c:Emp are at this moment doing, that the Ceutan cruys ade.was past and gone. MONDAY MORNING, DEC. 19. I have dame but imperfect justice in the preceding description. to the furious storm of last night and to its ravages in camp: In head-quarters camp alone (a very small one) several large tents and two or three of lese size are down. Onen-air kitchens have disappearea„ officers are seeking their property, scattered in. the night tempest, disconsolate servants are strugglE:ng against adversity and to get up some thing in the shape of breakfast. There two or three old Crimears s here, and they protest that since the storm of No , 14, 1854, they have witnessed nothing to equal that of Dee. 18, 1859. The wind has now abated (10 a...m.) and the rain has ceased, but the sky is extreT aely wild and the weather evidently fur from settled— Thirty hours—from midnight on the 17th to 6 on the 19th—of the heaviest rail', with rare in:tcrvals of a few minutes; nine hours of a perfect hu ericane ; a thunderstorm to complete the festival—su e l l are the amenities of winter at the foot of the SSerra Bullones. How is campaigning possible in a country and-season where such bursts may at any a ioment occur—almost without warn ing ? Suppo: t we had been overtaken by this wea ther in a bivcraac halfway between here and Tetuan, should we have been fresh for marching and fighting after such a 3( ) hours as we have just passed ? I pro mise you that 'even last evening there were some long faces and droolping crests in France, and some who lately were sa a guine of triumph spoke with more dif fidence, admitting doubts, and seemed to cast wistful glances back te. Spain. The worst was still to come. Tho rain was mnpleasant, but the wind was seriously damaging. 7 1 ,ne poor fellows in the advance must have suffered g rievously last night, and it is to be feared the hos . p itals will receive no small accession of inmates as one consequence of the deluge and hurricane. There are a few shots to the front. It seems that all the rain hays not sufficed to damp Morito's mar tial ardour or render his powder unserviceable. The wind is rising:; gain, and threatens another gale. :IHE aONGRESS, A rumour 11l s obtained during the last few days that the much 'talked-of Congress on the affairs of Italy may per) taps never take place. Of course, this is only the natural inference of the political and commercia 1 world from the evident embarrass ment of the l'rench Emperor and the other pro moters of the :meeting. We may, however, say that at the present moment it looks as if there would be no Congress a t all. Such a diplomatic Council presupposes so me union of opinion among its mem bers, for the re ost zealous upholder of the system scarcely clains that a majority of votes should bind any Power, or interfere with the organisation of any recognises I State. A Congress is a meeting of independent :Powers to give a moral sanction to some thing d.n ne or to be done by those who have a just claim to e.ct, or whose acts, being already ac complished, ci .nnot be reversed. It may recognise the enlergeme at of the Sardinian kingdom, although the States col teemed may not approve the war of 1859. It mre.,.. ) , recognise the overthrow of the Papal authority in -the Romagna, although the members expressly , di approve of people choosing their own rulers. But, there its powers end, and no one will arrogate its x ight to bind the minority from aiding either the P's3pe or his subjects at their will. Hence it follows Ulf:at, unless there is a hope of something like unanimity, it is of little use to meet at all. A Congress which can bind no one will be of little service wh37.1 it exhibits five States voting against four, or so:x.e two or three protesting against a particular resolution. The moral weight of its decisions •Pf ill then be small indeed, and they will form no part of the public law of Europe. 'this urircairnity will be, it is evident, difficult to obtain. C)f the history of recent negotiations we profess to know more than is open to the world ; enoug h has been made public to enable a fair judgment to be formed as to the part which the different !States will take.

Austria, who, in the midst of bankruptcy and threatened rebellion, still clings -to her old :policy, is, of . course, indignant that the Emperor Napoleon should hesitate to carry out the Treaty of Zurich. The Court of Vienna, which ignores everything but rulers and armies, cannot understand the inteipretation which the Empeeer Napoleon, at the instance of England, is about to give to the clauses regarding the restoration of the Florentine and Modenese dynasties. The Austrian thinks that when a Potentate agrees that such a thing shall take place he sprees that he will make it take place, . and is quite astonished to hear that the French Emperor is about to come forward with the Papal " aVonpossumus," to argue that the right of a people to choose its -rulers is anterior- to the rights conferred on a deposed ruler by any treaty, and that the stipulations of Zurich . must be held to•mean only that France recognizes the Dukes as Sovereigns of Tascany, Modapa, earl Paaina, should they ever be able to get back there.

Probably, however, the RussiaraCourt, in the consciousness of its own stability, would have been inclined to-abandon the cause of .these petty Monarchs, and to give up the theory of legitiMaey for the' purpose of conciliating Feance and further humiliating Austria. . ' . . . It is probable that, among the German Courts . the recognition_of_the Italian revolutions has made a still more painful impression. There is a similarity ' between the conditions of Germany and Italy which must make the fall of the Tuscan and Alodenese Houseaa startling fact to more than one ruline. family. • • Prussia is said to incline to the English interpeetation"of international law, but the petty - Courts. which - have always leaned. on Russia, and • which by famiiy alliances have - gained in their turn considerable influence at St. • Petersburg, must: be 'strongly interested in the condemnation Of so sub sersice a doctrine as the :sovereignty of the people. lithe great Powers should agree that the unity of a divided nation is a gain to tha world, and:that a legitimate means of obtaining this unity is to disa miss petty-Pei-nee salmi- add their dominions to larger sovereignties, the historical students : of C e entral Germany might not be long in applying the .doc trine to their own case. The minor Princes of Ger many feel that it is their affair when their Italian neighbour's house is burning. • . . The Pope has in the meantime been endeavour ing to youee the Catholic world. llemanism -is now so completely the religion of decaying or sta tionary. nations, that these efforts have had the very smallest success. Only. in France is thee to be found the example of a preponderating Power which professes to be guided by reverence for the Clutch, and even in France the feeling of the people is strongly against priestly assumptions. They may make use of the Caurch as a political engine, as an. excuse for interfering in the East, or for arrogating a Primacy among the so-called Latin nations, but at heart every Frenchman above the rank of a peasant is glad to see a rebuke administered to the hierarchy. The pamphlet attributed to M. de la Guerronniere only expresses the feelings of French society, which was somewhat irritated that after the triumphs of Magenta and Sol ferino England should stand forth as the champion of Wiliam liberty, and France should be at work to restore the rule of priests and police. The French Emperor, with the support of his people, has been able to disregard the agitation of his own Bishops, while the help to the Papal cause to be expected from Naples, or Spain, or Ireland, or Mexico, is small indeed, The pamphlet, however, has been used by the Pope as a means of escaping from the moral jurisdiction of Europe, and the other Powers favourable to Legitimist preteireichis have been equally prompt to avail themselves of the same ex cuse. The announcement that France and Eng land are in accord has disappointed the whole host If our illwishers on the Continent, and the courtiers who were prepared to see the maxims of liberty hooted out of court, to the humiliation of England, now dread that esecedents will be established ad verse to their own narrow and tyrannical systems. Not out of love to the Pope or Romanism so much as to those despotic forms of government of which Romanism is the religious correlative, are Austria, Russia, and more than one‘minor State now hang ing back from the Congress. Shall, then, the Congress be given up ? By all means, so far as the English people is concerned. We do not want it—we have never wanted it ; we have, on the contrary, looked upon it with suspi cion, as involving assumptions inconsistent with international law. We have merely agreed, to join it at the pressing instance of the French Emperor, who declared that it was necessary for the per manent solution of the Italian question. Should. Napoleon be able to bring his troupe of Plenipoten tiaries toe•ethar, we will send our own, but should he fail, the remark in England will be, " So much the better." All that will then remain will be to recognise the Central Italian State which has been formed out of the Romagna and the Duchies, either as an independent kingdom or as part of the Sar dinian monarchy, to take our stand on accomplished facts, and to leave the Pope and his supporters to their remedy.— Times. ..
