l9RThe war OF Spain with MoFscco.
The depredations Of Moorish pirates upon
Spanish commerce, and the attack upon the
Spanish fortress Of Ceuta,a and the coast of
Morocco, furnish the aggrievance for which
Spain is about to make war upon Morocco.
I'D Offensive operation against Morocco were
appointed TO- commence on the 7th Or 9th Of
November, Tangiers, Tetuan and Lawaske
having been previously declared in state of
blockade by the Spanish Government. All
the steam packets that ply between Marseilles,
France, had the Spanish ports had been char
tered to convey the Spanish forces, to Moroc-
60. The war; excites great enthusiasm in
Spain, and deserters from the army were re-
turning and beginning to be employed now that
there is chance for actual fighting. gas ,a.7a
4 The reason given by France for sustaining
Spain insthis attack, isfhat Crown commerce
has suffered since 1856. a But another and
more important reason is attributed to Napo-
leon, and that is the overthrow of the power
of England in the Mediterranean by expelling
herirom Gibraltar, Malta, and the Ionian Is
lands: sSupposing Napoleon TO entertain these
designs, we have an explanation of the i'm
mense naval preparations he is now making,
which are not requisite in contest with any
of the continental powers. IS 1ps0uosg b,F
