The expedition which the Spanish Govern-
ment has fitted out to operate against Morocco,
delayed lately by negotiation with The new
Emperor, according to the latest accounts is
about to proceed. Its imme iiate object is the
province of the Riff, mountainous district in
Guiding that part of the coast Immediately ad-
acent to the Straits of Gibraltar Like most
of the mountainous districts of Morocco, the
Riff is inhabited by wild race who profess a
certain allegiance to the Shrif of Morocco in
his character as descendant OF the prophet,
but who pay him in his character as a temporal
ruler but very limited obedience 1t s not
surprising, therefore, that he has declined to
become responsible for the good behavior Of
these people, but has left the Spanish Govern
ment to right its own wrongs, The inhsbi-
tants Of the Riff still carry On upon a email
scale that system of mountain robbery for
which the whole north African coast was for
merly so Infamous. In boats of rude construc
ton, they cOnce II themselves among the steep
rocks which jut ont into the sea, with the view
OF surprising merchant vessels ON their passage
through the Straits; and If pursued they take
| refuge in the neighboring mountains, " here ii
is difficult to follow them. Of late they have
made inToads into the small tract of territory
attached to the fortress of CeutA, which belongs
to the spniards, and it is to revenge or punish
these inroads that the present expedition is un
dertaken Perhaps, however, the Spansrds
instead of pursuing the pirates of the Riff
through their Businesses, will prefer to seize and
hold the city of Tangiers II is not very likely
that. after the costly experience Of the French
in Algeria, the Spaniards will aspire to any
great extent of African conquest-N Y, Tn
