SPAIN AND MOROCCO.

The following is the official correspondence re-
lating to the Spanish occupation of Tangier on
the coast of Morocco, presented to both Rouses of
Parliament by command of her Majesty :

" No. 1.
" LORD J. RUSSELL TO MR. BUCHANAN.
" Foreign-office, Sept. 22, 1859.
" Sir,--With reference to the preparations mak-
ing in Spain with a view to hostilities in Morocco,
I wish you to observe to the President of the Coun-
cil, and to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, that the
differences between the Governments of Spain and
Morocco appear to have arisen from outrages com-
mitted by Moors in the vicinity of Ceuta, but that
those outrages appear to have been provoked by the
excitements and defiances of the Governor of Ceuta ;
that a wild and untamed race seem to have become
ungovernable, and to have made hostile attacks
against the Spanish garrison of Ceuta.
" That if the Spanish Government only seek re-
dress for wrongs, and vindication of their honour,
her Majesty's Government will not interpose any
obstacle to their obtaining such reparation. But if
the outrages of the wild Moorish tribes are to be
made a ground for conquest, and especially on the
coast, her Majesty's Government are bound to look
to the security of the fortress of Gibraltar.
" You are therefore instructed to ask for a decla-
ration in writing, that if the Spanish troops should
in the coursa of hostilities occupy 'rangier, that
occupation will be temporary, and will not extend
beyond the ratification of a treaty of peace between
pain and Morocco. For an occupation till an in-
emnity is paid might become a permanent occu-
pation, and such permanent occupation her Ma-
jesty's Government consider inconsistent with the
safety of Gibraltar.

" tier Majesty's Government are sincerely de-
sirous of maintxining with Spain the most amicable
relations, but they are bound to provide for the
safety of her Majesty's possessions.--I am, 8.7. c.,

"Jr. Russui.."

(Received October 12.)
" Madrid, Oct. 7, 1859.
" My Lord,—Having made M. Calderon Collantes
acquainted with the contents of your lordship's de-
spatch of the 22d ult., instructing mo to ask the
Spanish Government for a declaration in writing,
that if, in the event of a war between Spain and
Morocco, Tangier should be occupied by Spanish
troops, they will be withdrawn immediately after
the ratifieation of a treaty of peace, it was agreed
between us that I should address to his Excellency
the note of which I enclose the copy herewith for
your lordship's information ; and I received this
day from him an answer, of which a copy and trans-
lation are enclosed, and which I trust may prove
satisfactory to her Majesty's Government.
"I have, &c., "ANDREW BUCHANAN."
" Enclosure 1 in No. 2.
" MR. BUCHANAN TO SENOR COLLANTES.
" Madrid, Sept. 27, 1859.
" Sir,—During the discussions which took place
last winter between Spain and Morocco, respecting
the claims of Spanish subjects upon the Sultan's
Government and the zone round Melilla, I did not
fail to report to my Government the frequent assur-
ances which I received from your Excellency, that
the onlfobject, at that time, of her Catholic Ma-
jesty's Government Wri,S to secure due protection to
her Majesty's fortress, and to her Majesty's subjects
residing in or trading with Morocco, and that they
had no intention whatever of making the questions
at issue a pretext for territorial aggrandisement in
Africa.

"These assurances were entirely confirmed by
the event, and I have been happy to learn from
the declaration contained in your Excellency's note
of the 26th inst., and.from the verbal explanations
which you have afforded me, on repeated occasions
since the new difficulty which has arisen with
the Government of Morocco, that no change has
taken place in the policy of the Spanish Govern-
ment, and that they seek for no conquests in
Africa, but only' propose to obtain reparation for
offences which have been offered to them by the
Moors of Ceuta, and securities from the Government
of the Sultan for that fortress, and her Catholic
Majesty's other possessions in Africa, which will
effectually prevent a repetition of the conflicts
which have taken place, and maintain hereafter the
relations of Spain with the Moroccan empire on a
satisfactory and honourable footing.
"The reports of my conversations with your Ex-
cellency will thus have already acquainted the
Government of the Queen my Sovereign with the
sentiments of moderation and justice which aid-
mate her Catholic Majesty's Government ; but it
would, notwithstanding, be a satisfaction to them,
considering the interest which they take in the
empire of Morocco, and the importance which they
attach to the commerce of Tangier with her
Majesty's possessions in the Mediterranean, to learn
from your Excellency that the great preparations
at present making with a view to military opera-
tions in Africa have not arisen from any change in
the views of her Catholic Majesty's Government,
and do not indicate any intentions on their part to
make conquests in Morocco, or to occupy perma•
nently any portion of the Sultan's territory.
" Feeling assured that your Excellency will
readily comply with the wish I have the honour to
express to you on this subject, I avail, &c.,
" ANDREW BUCHANAN."
" Enclosure 2 in No. 2.
(Translation.)
" Palace, Oct. 6, 1859.
" Sir,—l have received the note which you had
the goodness to address to me on the 27th of the
month last past.
"The Government of the Queen my Sovereign,
while adopting the measures necessary to obtain, if
requisite by force of arms, the just reparation which
they have demanded from the Moroccan Govern-
ment, continue in their invariable intentions with
regard to that country—intentions of which you
are cognisant by means of the verbal statements
which I spontaneously made to you last year with
reference to the question of the Melilla, and which
have been confirmed by my subsequent notes to
you, and by the circular which I addressed on
the 24th of S:•ptember to her Majesty's represen-
tatives at the Courts of Europe, with the contents
of which Don Xavier de Isturiz will have ac-
quainted her Britannic Majesty's Principal Secre-
tary of State for Foreign Affairs.
" The Cabinet of Madrid, as you are aware, do
not yield in this question to the impulse of a pre-
existing desire for territorial aggrandisement, but
are influenced alone by the sacred duty of defending
their dignity and the honour of the nation.
" They still preserve hopes that the conflict which
has arisen from the unprovoked aggression of which
the fortress of Melilla has been the object may ter-
minate peacefully.; but if their conciliatory desires

should not be realised, they will endeavour to
obtain by other means the punishment of the aggres-
sors, the satisfaction which is due, and the conclu-
sion of agreements which may tend to give effica-
cious material guarantees for preventing the
repetition of similar outrages.
"It is to these objects that military operations,
should they commence, would be directed. In this
point of view it is easy to understand, knowing the
intentions of the Government of the Queen my
Sovereign, that whatever diminution the active
commerce which Great Britain maintains with
Tangier might suffer in consequence of war would
be of a transitory character ; since, when once:the
treaty of peace which should put an end to the hos-
tilities between Spain and Morocco should be
ratified, and the questions now existing should be
settled favourably, and therefore definitively, the
Spanish Government, in the fulfilment of their in-
tentions, would not continue in the occupation of
that fortress, on the supposition that they should
have found themselves obliged to establish them-
selves there, in order to secure the favourable issue
of their operations. _ _

"LORD J. RUSSELL TO MR. BUCHANAN.
" Foreign-office, Oct. 15, 1859.

" Sir,—Her Majesty's Government have had
under their consideration the note addressed to
you by Senor Collantes on the 6th of October, of
which a copy was enclosed in your despatch of the
following day, in reply to the demand for
explanations which -you were instructed by my
despatch of Sept. 22 to require of him respecting
the intentions of the Spanish Government in the
event of the occupation of Tangier by the Spanish
forces.

" You were instructed to apply to the Spanish
Government for a declaration in writing that, if the
Spanish troops should, in the course of hostilities,
occupy Tangier, that occupation would be tempo-
rary, and would not extend beyond the ratification
of a treaty of peace between Spain and Morocco ;
and in your note to Senor Collantes of the 27th of
September you said it would be a satisfaction to her
Majesty's Government to learn that the military
preparations of the Spanish Government did not
indicate any intentions on their part to make con-
quests in Morocco, or to occupy permanently any
portion of the Sultan's territory.
" Senor Collantes, in his reply of Oct. 6, states
that when once the treaty of peace which should
put an end to the hostilities between Spain and
Morocco should be ratified, the questions now exist-
ing being settled favourably, and therefore defini-
tively, the Spanish Government, in fulfilment of
their intentions, would not continue in the occupa-
tion of that fortress (Tangier), in the supposition
that they should have found themselves obliged to
establish themselves there in order to secure the
favourable issue of their operations.
" You will state to M. Collantes that her Ma-
jesty's Government accept with pleasure this assu-
rance, as conveying the declaration which, by my
despatch of Sept. 22, you were instructed to ask for.
" You will further state to his Excellency that
her Majesty's Government earnestly desire that
there may be no change of possessions on the
Moorish coast of the Straits. The importance
they attach to this object cannot be overrated; and
it would be impossible for them, or,_indeed, for any
other maritime power, to see with indifference the
permanent occupation by Spain of such a position
on that coast as would enable her to impede the
passage of the Straits to ships frequenting the Me-
diterranean for commercial or any other purposes.
" You will read this despatch to Senor Collantes,
and furnish his Excellency with a copy of it.
" I am, &c., "J. RUSSELL."

"MR. BUCHANAN TO LORD J. RUSSELL,—(Received
October 29.)
"Madrid, Oct. 24, 1859,

" My Lord,—With reference to your lordship's
telegrams of the lath and 20th instant, on the sub-
ject of the alleged intention of Spain to obtain a
cession from Morocco of several miles of territory
on the coast of the Straits of Gibraltar, I have the
honour to enclose herewith the copy of a note
which I addressed to M. Calderon Collantes on the
21st instant, expressing the objection which her
Majesty's Government would entertain to the occu-
pation by Spain of the coast west of Ccuta ; and re•
questing his Excellency to name the points on that
coast which would be included in the rayon of the
fortress, if the views of her Catholic Majesty's
Government are carried into effect.

" I have also the honour to enclose the copy and
translation of an answer which I have received
from his Excellency, declaring distinctly that her
Catholic Majesty's Government have no intention
to occupy any point on the said coast, which would
give Spain a superiority that would be dangerous
to the navigation of the Straits.—l have, &c.,

" ANDREW BUCHANAN.
"Enclosure 1 to No. 4.
" MB. BUCHANAN TO SENOR COLLANTES.
" Madrid, Oct. 21, 1859.

" Sir,—The Government of the Queen my Sove-
reign have reason to believe, from the reports of her
Majesty's Charge d'Affaires at Tangier, and from
the late declarations of her Catholis Majesty's Go-
vernment in the Cortes, that her Catholic Majesty is
about to declare war against the Emperor of Morocco,
in consequence of the Moorish Government having
declined a demand on the part of her Government
that certain territory lying between the fortress of
Ceuta and the mountainous ridge or Sierra of Bul-
lones should be ceded to Spain.
" From my verbal communications to your Excel-
lency on this subject, you are already aware that the
Government of the Queen my Sovereign entertain
apprehensions that the cession to Spain of the ter-
ritory in question cannot take place without seri-
ously compromising the freedom of the navigation
of the Straits of Gibraltar; and it is therefore my
duty, in execution .of instructions which I have re-
ceived from her Majesty's principal Secretary of
State for Foreign Affairs, to inquire how far her
Catholic Majesty's Government propose that the
rayon of Ceuta should be extended, and more par-
ticularly to request that your Excellency will have
the goodness to name the points on the coast which,
in the event of the views of her Catholic Majesty's
Government being carried into effect, would be in-
cluded within the territory of Spain.
"In addressing these inquiries to your Excel-
lency, I am further to request that I may receive
answers to them at your Excellency's earliest con-
venienco.—l avail, &c.,

"ANDREW BUCHANAN."
" Enclosure 2 in No. 4.
(Translation.)
" Palace, Oct. 21, 1859.

" Sir,—l have received the note which you have
had the goodness to address to me, dated this day,
and I informed myself of its contents with particu-
lar attention.

" In the present:state of the question of Morocco,
owing to the inconceivable resistance of the Sul-
tan's Government to satisfying the just demands of
Spain, it is very difficult, if not impossible, for the
Cabinet of Madrid to determine, even approxi-
mately, the nature of the guarantees which they
may find themselves under the necessity of asking,
in order to assure the results of the hostilities which
are on the point of commencing.
" You cannot be unaware, nor can your enligh-
tened Government either be ignorant, that when
two nations appeal for the settlement of their diffe-
rences to force of arms, on the diplomatic relations
which hare been pursued without effect being
broken off, former proposals are declared null, and
considered as if they had not been made, while both
parties reserve to themselves the right of renew-
ing them, or presenting others of a different kind,
according as it may suit their interests and corre-
spond to the results of the military operations.
" Notwithstanding this, the Government of the
Queen my Sovereign, who have given so many and
such marked proofs of their conciliatory and up-
right spirit in the different incidents which have
sprung from the question with Morocco, will not
vary the intentions which they had formed from
the beginning of that question, not to occupy any
point on the Straits whose position could afford to
Spain a superiority dangerous to the navigation.
In this matter their ideas have been always so
disinterested and loyal that they cannot believe
that any doubt can have been conceived with regard
to them.
" Nevertheless, her Majesty's Government, in
whose name I has-erepeadteisdsl:paytlg every offeredil teory youspectiehes
explanations necessary for
of doubt, if by chance it had been conceived, with
respect to their intentions, do not wish to omit the
statement made above, feeling sure that her Bri-
tanic Majesty's Government, in asking for it, have
no other object than to secure the safety of the inte-
rests of Great Britain, and not in any manner to in-
terfere in the contest which is about to be engaged
in between two independent nations.—l avail, &c.,
" SATURNINO CALDERON COLLANTES."

The following Admiralty notices were yesterday
posted at the entrances of Wool reich,dockyard:—
" The entry, of all artificer.; avidlabourers rests
with the superintendent of the dockyard, who is re-
sponsible that no wnrkmen be admitted but such as
are in all respects the best to be obtained for her
Majesty's service. No person will be eligible for
entry whose age exceeds 35 years, to be proved by
certificates ofhirth, or extract from baptismal re-
gister. Certificates of character will also be re-
quired. Every candidate before entry will be tested
in the use of his tools. He must also be examined
by the superintendent of the yard, and pronounced
fit for service.
" On the first entry for the establishment all men
will be required to serve one month on probation,
and ifat the end of that period they shall have proved
themselves competent to the satisfaction of the
superintendent, the appointments will be confirmed:
In filling up vacancies on the establishment prefer-
ence will be given to hired men iu the yard whe
are of good character.
"An examination is required of every candidate
for promotion. The surperintendent will select
from the examination list, on the recommendation
of the officers, those who are considered to be best,.
qualified. The claims of those whose names appear
at the head of the examination list will be duly
considered, but industry, merit, and practical qua-
lifications also have their weight in guiding the
selection. Applications must not be made by per-
sons serving in the dockyard, except through the
superintendent. Any attempt to obtain promotion
by political or otherlindirect influence will be pun-
ished, for:the first offence by reprimand, for the
second offence by reduction to an inferior situation,
and for a third offence by dismissal from the service,
such proceedings having been strictly fbrbidden by
Order in Council of the 11th of March, 1853.
" Admiralty, Jan. 1, 1860."
Her Majesty's screw steam gun vessel 'Wanderer,
4, 200-horse power, Commander Mark R. Pechell,
which was paid off at Chatham yesterday, has been
in commission 'upwards of four years, having been
commissioned at Chatham by Captain. J. P. Luce
in the.-latter-part of 1855.- During the whole time
she has been absent from England she has been
cruising in the Mediterranean, where she was em-
ployed as a despatch vessel, cruising chiefly between
Gibraltar, Malta, Corfu Athens, Constantinople,
and in the Black Sea. In February, 1858, Capt.
Luce, on being posted, was succeeded by Comman-
der Pechell, o has held the command ever since.
The crew, generally, have been very healthy, and
there has been but a small number of deaths on
board from sickness during the time the Wanderer
has been in commission. In the month of February,
1859, an accident happened off the mouth of the
Daphne, by the upsetting of one of the ship's boats,
in which five seamen were lost. During the whole
time the ship has been in commission there have
only been two cases of corporal punishment. Before
the ship was paid off Commander Pechell mustered
the whole of the petty officers and the crew, and
addresseel a few words to each on their general
character and conduct. The following first-class
petty officers were awarded gratuities by the Ad-
miralty for long service and good conduct :—E.
Bird, carpenter's coxswain; R. Keast, chief boat-
swain's mate, and T. Allman, blacksmith ; J. Brown-
ing, sailmaker's mate, one of the second-class petty
officers, was also awarded the gratuity. Most of
the crew are continuous service men, and these have
been granted six weeks' run ashore, after which
they will join the guardships at Chatham, Ports-
mouth, or one of the naval ports. The Wanderer
is to be thoroughly overhauled and repaired at
Chatham, after which she will be attached to the
steam-reserve, in readiness to be recommissioned.
The repairs of the screw steamship Nile,9o, Capt.
Arthur P. E. Wilmot, C. 8., at Devonport, are pro-
gressing satisfactorily. She is to be supplied with
a new rudder and stern walk, and will be caulked
inside and out ; the copper has been stripped off at
the water line. 'While superintending the lower-
ing of a pinnace belonging to the Nile, down the
slip at the dockyard camber, on Wednesday, Com-
mander Mackenzie had his leg broken. It appeared
that the lowering rope was veered round a bollard
to the end of which the man in charge held on. The
tide, however, was so low that when the pinnace
fell over the bow of the slip, the hook was, by the
sudden fall, disengaged, and, flying round, struck
Commander Mackenzie on the leg and broke it. He
was immediately conveyed to the dockyard surgery,
and after being examined by Staff-Surgeon Mr.
William Folds, was, accompanied by that officer,
carried to the Royal Hospital.
The War Department screw steamvessel Bala-
klava, having discharged shot and shell at the gun-
wharf, Devonport, left Plymouth Sound on Tuesday
for Woolwich.

The steam screw transport Khersonese, No. 8,
yesterday terminated the shipment of her cargo
of 2,000 tons of war stores for China, and was to
leave Woolwich early this morning to load her
powder and to be adjusted for sea at Greenhithe.
Captain Hurst, late of the Golden Fleece, has been
appointed to the command. The Khersonese is
now the. property of Mr. Pearson, of Hull, the
purchase having been effected on Friday last, and
the contract transferred from Mr. Duncan, her late
owner.

Her Majesty's paddlewheel steamvessel Weser,
Commander J. Ruby, brought back to Woolwich,
in consequence of the discovery of her being in-
applicable for her appointed voyage to La Plata,
was yesterday put out of commission, the whole of
the available officers and crew being transferred to

the steam sloop Alecto. Her store■ :have been
returned to the depot, and information has been
received of her six guns having been landed at La
Plata, whithor they were despatched with a view
of rendering her voyage less perilous.
The Rhadamanthus steam storeship, Master-
Commander Sturdee, arrived at Portsmouth yes-
terday from Woolwich, with boilers and machinery
for the Sutlej, 50, screw steamer, and a number of
supernumeraries from the Fisgard.
The Virago, 6, paddle, Commander M. B. Dunn,
arrived at Spit head yesterday from the westward.
She is expected to take in tow the Pitt coal depot,

for Portland.
The Lucifer paddle steamer, with Second-Master-
Attendant Stokes and party on board, has arrived
at Portsmouth from Portland, where they have
been engaged in laying down moorings for the use
of the Channel fleet.

The Traveller screw gunboat, having on board
Captain George T. Gordon, commanding the Steam
Reserve, and Staff, and Mr. J. I)innen, Admiralty
Inspector of Machinery Afloat, proceeded yester-
day morning to Spithead to test the Mer-
sey fugate at the measured mile with her new
propeller. Shortly after the gunboat's departure
from the harbour a fresh breeze from S.S.E. sprung
up, with every appearance of increasing, and as the
intended trial is one of the greatest importance it
was again deferred until a more favourable oppor-
tunity.
The following appointments were made yesterday
at the Admiralty :—Capt. E. W. Tumour, to the
Forte, commissioned ; Lieut. E. J. Squire and
Lieut. E. H. Wilkinson, to the Forte; Francis H.
May, master, to the Forte ; Dr. J. J. Crawford,
surgeon to the Forte; Thomas T. Murray, chief
engineer, to the Cumberland, for charge of the ma-
chinery of the Rodney; Dr. P. W. Wallace, assist.-
surgeon additional to the Ganges ; J. P. Courtenay,
acting assist.-surgeon, to the Satellite; Albert J.
O'ltorke, naval cadet, to the Forte ; and the Hon.
E. H. Ellis, naval cadet, to the Emerald.
The heavy baggage of the Ist battalion 9th Foot
was yesterday embarked on board the screw troop-
ship Perseverance, Commander E. R. Power, at
Portsmouth. The troops will embark to-day.
