SPAIN AND MOROCCO.

Advices from Tangier to the 4th instant, via
Gibraltar, have come to hand by the mail steamer
Delta, which arrived at Southampton yesterday.
Mulai Abbas, brother of the Sultan, entered
Tangier on the 2d; and, after inspecting the city
and the fortifications, the Prince started in the
afternoon of the same day to encamp at Zennat,
four leagues from Tangier, a strategical position
which commands the road to Tangier and Tetuan.
His Highness had under his command about 12,000
horsemen. _

His Majesty the Sultan had given his brother
Mulai Abbas full power to grant the demands made
by Spain in the ultimatums of the sth of September
and sth of October. The Sultan had also granted
him the right to chastise the Kabyles of Angera
and to behead those most compromised if he thought
necessary—a power which, as is well known, only
appertains to the Emperor.
The Kabyle tribes encamped in the environs of
Tangier had gone into the interior for the purpose
of procuring provisions, of which they were in want.
The public crier had been sent round by order of
Prince Mulai Abbas to proclaim in the city of
Tangier that whoever was caught in the act of
pillaging or wilfully damaging any goods belong-
ing to the European:, or Jews would be severely
punished. One of the.,Bedouins, surprised in the
act of robbing, was taken and flogged round the
town. Beyond this everything appeared to be
tranquil in the city.
Her Majesty's paddlewheel sloop Vulture and the
French screw frigate Imperatrice Eugenie were the
only ships of war lying off Tangier when the Flying
Fish left, on the afternoon of the 4th.
The Gibraltar Chronicle of the 31st ult. says :
" The conduct of the Tangier Moors towards
Europeans during the present crisis is said to have
been most pra!seworthy. Although the greatest
enthusiasm for the war exists, not an insult has
been offered to Jew or Christian, and the greatest
kindness has been shown to all Europeans. Such
moderation was hardly to be expected on the part of
an excitable and untutored race, and it shows, we
think, that the residence of the different foreign
missions at 'rangier and the constant intercourse of
that town with Europe have produced their fruits
in the increase of good will and the softening of
-eligious fauaticism and anti-Christian prejudices.
This slight gain to civilization will probably disap-
pear amid the fierce passions which the coming
4truggle will arouse. We understand that a formal
protest against the proceedings of Spain, accom-
panied by documentary evidence showing the de-
mands of the Spanish Consul and the concessions of
the Sultan's Government, has been handed to each
if the agents of foreign Governments in Tangier."
Subjoined is an extract from a private letter,
dated Tetuan, 30th ult.:—

" You cannot conceive what a state of despera-
tion we are in. Many of the families that left for
Martin, the place of embarcation at the mouth of
the river, were robbed and maltreated by hordes of
ferocious Bedouins. The French Government
steamer Monett° has arrived to embark the Vice-
Consul and subjects of that nation. God only knows
what will become of us whe❑ this man-of-war de-
parts."
