LONDON, TUESDAY, JAN. 17, 1860.

If we may judge from the accounts coming to
us from between Ceuta and Tetuan via Madrid,
the Spaniards have been everywhere victorious in
their contest with the barbarian soldiers of Mo-
rocco. Yet the lists of the killed and wounded
tell terribly against them—and besides this, they
have scarcely gained any ground beyond the im-
mediate vicinity of Ceuta—while they have de-
cidedly not yet brought that long-coN eted Tetuan
into their possession.
And while these facts are altogether undeniable,
the Spaniards are every day becoming more and
more demonstrative in their expressions of exulta-
tion. As though the objects of the war were
already virtually if not actually accomplished. As
though the Moors were virtually at their mercy—
as though the army of Morocco were routed, or
disbandcded, or, at the least, disorganised—as
though the Government of Morocco were prostrate
and helpless at the feet of O'DONNELL and his
compatriots. Everything Moorish is, just now,
moreover, an object of ridicule, scorn, and derision,
among both the armed and unarmed subjects of
Queen ISABELLA. The old-fashioned discipline of the
Moorish soldiery is only just a trifle less ludicrous
than the dirty-white, gauzy-light Moorish costume
or than the apparently cumbrous swords and fire-arms
of the Moorish warriors ! Although mere vulgar
cunning would have suggested the advisability of
rather exaggerating than depreciating the charac-
ter of the enemy to be vanquished! Although, in
point of fact, the thin and loosely flowing robes of
the Moor enable him the better to endure the intense
heat of his North African climate ! Although so
very formidable a catalogue of the Spaniards,
already slain in this " little:war," attest with fright-
ful distinctness the deadly aim and wondrous
.ffiel'neY of those. despised Moorish marksmen !
Although in reference to the mere warlike
cutlery of the M aors, we read from the records
of unprejudiced eye-witnesses appalling descrip-
tions written • them from the actual seat of
war, according to -which the Spanish officers and sol-
diers who have escaped with their lives from those
deadly skirt. tishet with the Moorish swordsmen, re-
turned only cove red with ghastly wounds inflicted
by the hands o.f the Moors, armed with their keen-
edged scymetars . And, meanwhile, let us again re-
member that tht ire still, up to the moment of the last
despatches frotr Morocco, there still, at that actual
seat of war, ;`,ll e, Spaniards are yet fighting but a
little beyond the ,immediate vicinity of Ceuta—that
they are yet st ri iggling towards Tetuan—that they
have not yet pained Tetuan, that they have not
yet vanq wish' 2(.1 the foe they affect so to de-
spise. And all these facts are removed far
