Mr. Buchanan to Lord J. Rumsell—(Raceived Oct. 29.)
Madrid, Oct, 240859.

My Lord,—With reference to your Lordship's telegrams
of the 19th and 20th inst., on the subject of the alleged in-
tention 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 inclose herewith the copy of a note
which I addressed to M. Calderon Collantes on the 21st
inst., expressinr, the objections which her Majesty's Go-
vernment would entertain to the occupation by Spain of the
coast west of Ceuta; and requesting 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 Ma-
jesty's Government are carried into effect.
I have also the honour to inclose the copy and transla-
tion of an answer which I have received from his Excel-
lency, declaring distinctly that her Catholic Majesty's Go-
vernment 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,
(Signed) ANDREW BUCHANAN.

Inclosure 1 in No. 4.
Mr. Buchanan to Senor Collantes.

Madrid, Oct. 21, 1859.
Sir,—The Government of the Queen my Sovereign have
reason to believe, from the report's of her Majesty's Chargé
d'Affaires at Tangier, and from the late declarations of her
Catholic Majesty'? Government in the Cortes, that her
Catholic Majesty is about to declare war on the Emperor of
Morocco, in consequence of the Moorish Government hav-
ing 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 Bullonos, should be
'ceded to Spain.
From my verbal communications to your Excellency on
this subject, you are already aware that the Government of
the Queen my Sovereign entertain apprehentions that the
cession to Spain of the territory in question cannot take
plabe without seriousl3, co aprornising-the freedom of the
navigation of the Straits of Gibraltar; and it is, therefore,
my duty, in execution of instructions which I have received
from her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs, to inquire how far her Catholic Majesty's Govern-
ment propose that tho rayon of Ceuta should be extended,
and more particularly to request that our Excellency will
have the goodness to name the points on the coast which,
in the event of the views of her Catholic Majesty's Govern-
ment being carried into effect, would be included within

the territory of Spain.
In addressing these inquiries to your Excellency, I am
further to request that I may receive answers to them at
your Excellency's earliest convenience.—l avail, Sr.c.,
(Signed) ANDREW BUCHANAN.

Inclosuro 2 in No. 4.

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 have in-
formed myself of its contents with particular attention.
In the present state of the question of Morocco, owing to
the inconceivable resistance of the Sultan's Government to
satisfying the just demands of Spain, it is very difficult, if
not impossible, for the Cabinet of Madrid to determine, even
approximatety, 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 enlightened Go-
vernment either be ignorant, that when two nations appeal
for the settlement of their differences to force of arms, on the
diplomatic relations which have been pursued without
effect being broken off, former proposals aro declared null,
and considered as if they had not been made, while both
parties resirre to themselves the right of renewing them, or
of presenting others of a different kind, according as it may
suit their interests, and correspond 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 upright spirit in the different in-
cidents 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 can-
not believe that any doubt can have been conceived with
regard to them.
Nevertheless, her Majesty's Government, in whose name
I have repeatedly offered to you the explanations necessary
for dissipating every species 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
Britannic Majesty's Government, in asking for it, have no
other object than to secure the safety of the interests of
Great Britain, and not in any manner to interfere in the
contest which is about to be engaged in between two inde-
pendent nations.-1 avail, &c.,
(Signed) SATURNINO CALDERON COLLANTBS.
