(Tait NSLATION. )
" Madrid, June 9, 1836.

" Sir—ln answer to the note which you were pleased to address
to my predecessor on the 10th of December last, requesting that, in
order to prevent the repetition of what had occurred with the Bri-
tish vessel Vibelia, on the occasion of her passing by night off
the Castle of Tarifa, this point may be definitively settled, and
that the conditions required by the Spanish Government from
vessels passing at night off the above-mentioned castle may
be communicated to you, with the view of due and full no-
tice thereof being given to the merchants of Great Bri-
tain, I have the honour to acquaint you that her Majesty
the august Queen Regent has been pleased to command that the
GoVernor of that fortress be informed that, notwithstanding the
extreme vigilance to be employed by the commanders or military
chief of the fortifications on the Spanish coast whenever any
vessel may pass by night within cannon shot of the castle of the
said fortress, if a light is hoisted in a visible part of her hull or rig-
ging she is not to be molested, unless her manoeuvres should give
occasion for suspicion ; that if she should come within cannon
shot without having made a signal in the manner pointed at, or in
some similar manner, she shall be required to do so by means of
three gun flashes, tired at regular intervals ; but that if, in spite of
all this, she should visibly approach the shore without correspond-
ing by some signal, or without shortening sail, or if she should make
any other suspicious maneeu►re, she will be considered suspicious,
and force will be employed to repel and oblige her to go away.
" Her Majesty has been pleased at the same time to com-
mand me to represent to you the necessity of his Britannic
Majesty's Government recommending. to British navigators the
expediency of their not coming at night within cannon reach of
the batteries on the Spanish shore : and that should they be com-
pelled by hydrographical circumstances to pass close to those bat-
teries, especially to those of Tarifa, they ought to hoist a light, or
some other equivalent signal, in. the top or in any other visible part
of the vessels, in order to avoid being considered suspicious, and
molested accordingly.
" In making, by order of her Majesty the August Queen Re-
gent, this communication to you, I have the honor to repeat, &c.
(Signed) " XAVIER DE ISTUILIZ.
" TO the British Minister."
