The official announcement Madrid received at this
garrison appointing the 8h Of November the day for
the departure Of the Spanish army Morocco has caused
the most intense excitement among the military and float
ing population Of this place. Up 10 the present moment
hopes entertained that England through her dplo
macy would have prevented a which now seems to
be inevitable Her appeals, well threats backed by
the presence Of immense feet in the Bay Of Gibraltar
have had no effect upon the stubborn Spanard French
nucncefor the decision Of the Spanish Court is here
char IN iptr af
hatred which every Spaniard entertains towards
England has in this instance at least proved too much for
Lord Pamerston and his ministerial associates
Everywhere in Spain the decision Of the Spanish Minis
try is received with the widest delight by tho people
Spanish and French flags are seen side by side waving
from the windows Of many of the public and private
buildings Of Madrid To suppose that this feeling pro-
duced by the mere declaration Of upon Morocco Is
simply ridiculous, for there is not spaniard Of intc
gence who does not in the design against
the longer continuance Of British power and rule in the
Mediterranean.
To show that tho movements Of Spain and France are
thus understood by the Of Europe generally
10 only necessary TO call attention TO their official jour
nails and 10 the largo and unusual assemblagc in these
waters OF their vessels Of war.
Russia is here represented by respectable squadron
M are also the flags Of Sardinia Naples and Sweden b,
IN vain do we look for tho flag Of tho United States
oubess the representatives Of American interets oro
more agrceabiy entertained elsewhere and yet il would
see but natural that the extensive commercial nterese
Of the United States in these quarters should al this iunc
ure OF affairs have the countenance at least OF our Mod
errancan squadron In addition TO the French SQUADRON
in this bay, France has lined the coast Of Africa from
oran 70 Tanger with her vessels of war which are con
stantiy IN motion, watching The movement Of events.
