sisting of 24 pieces, has been organised at that port,
and is about to proceed to the same destination. The
object of the expedition is said to be the occupation
of Tangiers. General Don JUAN VILLA T.oNGA is
appointed to the command of the expedition.
According to a letter from Barcelona, a decree was
to be issued on the 10th inst., dissolving the Cortes,
and assembling new Chambers for the 10th of Octo-
ber ; and in the same decree the Government was to
make known its system of government.
The Three per Cents. were done at 26 for cash,
and 261 at 60 days ; and the Five per Cents. at 19!,
at 60 days, with 4 premium.

In the French Chamber of Peers on Wednesday
the Prince Dis LA Mosuowi brought forward his
motion relative to the affairs of Morocco. Sir Ro-
BERT PEEL, he said, in the House of Commons, de-
clared that he had received the most complete and sa-
tisfactory explanations on the affairs of Morocco.
These communications, according to the English
Minister, were without reserve, even with regard to
the instructions given to the young Admiral, whose
appointment was sufficient to excite the susceptibility
of England. He thought that this was an impru-
dence which was not even justified by any risk the
entente cordiale might run. He then attacked the
portions; of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S speech which he said
might be injurious to the French possessions in
Africa. The declarations of Sir R. PEEL could not
do otherwise than raise the courage of the Emperor,
of Moaocco and ABD-EL-KADER, and encourage
them to persevere in their hostility to France. He
contended that there was a flagrant contradiction be-
tween the assertions of the English Minister and
those of M. GUIZOT in the Chamber of Deputies, in
answer to M. DE LAROCHEJAQUELIN. He waited for
the explanations of M. Guizo-r.
In reply, M. GUIZOT said—" None of the instruc-
tions given to admirals or generals had been divulged
to the British Government. Sir ROBERT PEEL could
merely have alluded to political instructions. The
policy of the French was known. They did not
want territorial aggrandisement or conquest, and this
was stated to Sir ROBERT PEEL. The Government
had demanded three things of the Emperor of
MOROCCO : Ist. That no collection of troops should
take place on the frontier. 2d. That those who
provoked the collision should be punished. 3d. That
ABD-EL:KADER should be sent away from the fron-
tier. On the second point, satisfaction had already
been given. The son of the Emperor of MOROCCO
had given orders for the dismissal and imprisonment
of the two Kaids who had authorised the violation of
our territory."
The Chamber of Deputies was still occupied with
the Budget. The usual vote for public instruction
was adopted. on Tuesday, almost without discus-
sion. On Wednesday, the report of the Committee
on the Customs Duties was presented. They recom-
mend the adoption of the tariff of 1842, and are
opposed to any increased duties on unmanufactured
wool and flax. The following are extracts from the
papers :
The Constitutionnel states, on the authority of its cor-
respondence from Barcelona, that the retirement from the
Spanishilinistry of the Marquis di Viluma is now quite cer-
tain, but that General Narvaez will retain the portfolio of the
War Department, and only hold that of Foreign Affairs pro-
visionally.
The Gazette of the Two Sicilies of the 'sth ult. states, that
five more of the insurgents who landed in Calabria have been
arrested, and that all are now in custody, but the names of
only a few of them are given. A Leghorn letter states that
the sons of Admiral Bandiera are among the insurgents who
have been arrested in Calabria.
A letter from Lubeck, in the Augsburg Gazette, states that
the exchange of dispatches, which hitherto took place regu-
larly once a fortnight between the Embassy of St. Peters-
burgh and St. James's Cabinet, is now to take place once
a week.

Several modifications of the Austrian Customs Tariff came
into operation on the Ist. The chief reductions are on cotton
thread and coffee; the former is reduced from 15 florins a
quintal to 12 florins 30 kreutzers, and the latter from 21
florins to 12 florins 30 kreutzers.

THE DANISH CLAIMS.
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
The question of the captures of ships by the Danes
in 1807, is not one of ordinary circumstances. The
professed object of the British Government in that
year was to maintain our commercial intercourse
with the Baltic, which was threatened by the private
betweenßaanlßtic, on the contrary en.
'in into that sea.

moreover,
should always be exempt from such reprisals. The
British Government had, in 1806, prohibited its own
cruisers, during the war with Prussia,
from molest-
ing ships within the Baltic. The Danish Consuls in
the Baltic ports declared, in 1807, that in conformity
with the convention of 1794, there would be no re-
prisals in that sea.
But what gives these claimants a peculiar right to
indemnity is, that the protection promised for the re-
turn voyage was prematurely withdrawn, and the re-
maining British ships and cargoes thus sacrificed. Sir
Robert Peel was in error when he stated that the
Danes were a party to the treaty of Tilsit, or to any
secret article of it. He also quoted the Gluckstadt
ordinance incompletely. He read the preamble in-
forming the Danes that the English were about to
make war on them, and that the English war might
be considered as commenced. But he omitted to
read the main part, the enacting part, which does not
declare war by Denmark, and only directs an em-
bargo on British property.

WINE AND SPIRITS.--A return has been laid be-
fore the House of Commons, which shows that the
total quantity of wine imported into the United
Kingdom, in the year ending Jan. 5, 1844, was
6,807,053 gallons, and in bond 10,649,662 gallons;
of this the Spanish and Portuguese wines form
the great majority, the former amounting to
3,636,402, and the latter to 5,298,420 gallons.
