The third volume of Mr.. Prcscotts Philip H. we
understand will be issued by Phillips, Sampson & Co.
in the month Of December. We have been permitted
to examine of the advanced sheets, from which
we take the following spirited sketch OF
THE EXPULSION OF THE MORIsCoEs FROM
GRANADA.
Philip after much hesitation, had given his sane
ton 10 Dezas project for the removal Of the MOrcoes
from the capital into the interior of the country The
day appointed for carrying the into effect
the I'D of June. A large body of troops, with the
principal commanders, was secretly assembled IN the
capital to enforce the execution Of the plan. Mean
while rumors were current that the Morlscoes IN the
city we're carrying on a secret communication with
their coui rymon IN the Alpuiarras that they supplied
the mountGiIecrs with arms and money that the
young men leaving Granada 10 join Their ranks;
finally, that conspiracy had been planned for an as
-au on the city, and even that the names OF the lead
err were given. II is impossible at this time, 70 say
What foundation there for these charges Dnl the
reader n0y recoect that sinlar had been clrcn
lated previous to the barbarou, massacre in the prison

Nothing could exceed the CONSERVATION OF the Morris
