SPAIN AND MOROCCO.

The Madrid journals of the 4th mention reports
being current that dysentery and even cholera had
broken out amongst the Spanieh troops in Morocco;
but the Espana expresses a hope that the rumours
are greatly exaggerated; it, however, admits that
the fatigues which the army has already undergone
must have occasioned sickness, and it strongly re-
commends the immediate adoption of every hygienic
measure of which the experience of the allied
armies in the Crimea had proved the utility. The
same journal states that the Spanish ge-
nerals will probably not mum, the offen-
sive against the Moors until all their forces
shall be concentrated. The Gazette publishes a
detailed account of the lasses sustained by the first
corps in the combats of the 19th, 20th, 22nd, 24th,
and 26th nit. It shows that 9 officers were killed
(one a major-general) and 46 wounded (one of them
General Echague), and that 79 soldiers were killed
and 117 wounded. The loss of the Moors cannot
be ascertained, as they carry off as many of their
wounded and dead se they can ; but it is so pporsed that
they must have had 600 killed and 1,600 wounded.
The Moors in the neighbourhood of Ceuta are
represented to be well armed and well supplied
with store. ; and their commander is said to
be a celebrated marabout, of great intelligence
and energy. A telegraphic despatch from the Spa-
nish camp at Otero, on the 3rd, says that General
Zabala, at the head of four battalions, had made •
movement towards the camp of Tetuan, and that the
Moors who were occupying the heights which the
Spaniards cell Sierra Bailouts, had detached a force
of 3,000 men to hang on the right flank of the
Spaniards; this force, however, on account of the
nature of the ground, had not attacked the Spanish
troops. The Correspondancia confirms the fact that
the Moors, even when resiatanoe is absolutely hope-
less, refuse to yield themselves prisoners.

The Hessisehe Morgenzeiturog announces that the

DRESDEN, TIIVIIDAY.

The Dresden journal of to-day publishes a semi-
official article on the subject of the Conference. at
War:burg. Tee article says that as there is no
unity between the great German Powers, the Con-
ferences tend to satisfy the general wish for a more
vigorous and energetic attitude of the Federal Diet.
The numerous and great results which have been
obtained at Wtirsburg will soon become perceptible.
The Conferences had nothing to do with any pro-
posal fora change in the Confederation.

TURKEY.

Adviore have been received from Constantinople to
the 30th ult.

A ministerial crisis had been brought about by
the dissensions between Fuad Puha and Rise Puha.
Find had tendered his resignation, which was re-
fused by the Sultan, but a permanent agreement
between the two ministers appeared impassible.
Find l'acha was the only minister who continued to
oppose the Sues Canal. M. Thouvenel and Baron
Prokeech, the ambassadors of France and Austria,
had made joint representations in favour of M. de
Image, and the adhesion of the other continental
powers to his scheme was expected, as the language
of their ambassadors was extremely favourable.
The Grand Vizier wu endeavouring to work oat
reforms, but the combination to reduce the paper
currency was prevented by the insafficiency of the
means at the disposal of the treasury.
The retention of from 20 to 30 per cent. of the
salaries of the employla in the superior public esta-
blishments and the taxation of licenses bad been
ordered.
