mortal relative to the Of the boy Mortara.
Lord John, in his reply, denounced the offence
which had been committed, but, in view of the
difficulties which always surroundintererence with
the laws of foreign nations he considered that it
would be useless for the British government to

would be dangerous to the navigation of the Straits
after a treaty of peace is signed.

tiOn continued with great activity. One authOri-

the scale OF the Joint expedition to China,
in complete accord, and that the general military
basis OF thsir cooperation has been agreed on. A

seen in China, and equal to any service that may
be required of it. will appear in the Peiho in the

THE SPANISH ULTIMATUM.
The following are transations of the Spanish u
tmatuIn last delivered to the government of Nor
rocco, and the Moors' reply:
Previous to the receipt of your note of the 18th
OF the month, the difficulties which opposed them
selves to the compete satisfaction of the outrares
committed upon the Spanish fort in the neighbOr-
hood of Ceuta having been removed the govern
ment of the Queen, my august sovereign, commands
me to say to YOU that the satisfaction demanded is
to be carried into effect without loss Of time, and in
| the following manner:
/ l. The chief oft the Moorish troops who should be
! the Governor of the province, shall replace with
| his own hands the Spanish arms in the same posi-
/ ton which they occupied when they were torn
| down by the Vandals Of Auggera and shalt have
! them saluted by his soldiers.
2. They shall carry out the last penalty of the
| law upon those persons who the real promo
! ters of the attack, in the presence of the Spanish
| garrison of the aforementioned place.
Both Of these demands shall be fulfilled mmedi-
ately.
g. The Moorish government shall nominate two
engineers who. in conjunction with two Spanish
| engineers, shall determine the most convenient
places for the new frontier line, with the under
standing that they shall necessarial take base
for this line of delimitatiOn the Sierra Buliones.
The Spanish government shall not consider full
filled the satisfaction which they have an ndisputa-
BILE right to exact, and which you have consented
to in the name of your government, if all these
measures not carried into effect in the shortest
| possible period.
Until such is the case, Spain will continue
| armed; and warn you that the smallest delay on
your part in the most exact fulilment OF my de
| mand will be the signal for the commencement OF
hOStilities, and consequently of a rupture in the
! friendly relations between the two countries.
The GREAT Eastern The Times, in letter on
the Great Eastern says: First, there is the difficulty
| about harbors This interleres with the choice ot
| port for permanent traffic, and exposes her to
danger The size of the vessel increases the risk to
the Shareholders. Next, her expenses for coal and
crew before profit can be realized or loss avoided
She will in heavy sea, roll not little, and her
propclling power is inadequate to the mass which
is to be moved.
She will be able to carry goods at lower freight
But her being able to steam l3 900 II 600 mile.
without stopping to coal, seems trembling in tht
balance. The truth is the vessel seems to be delec
tive in the propcliing power. The principle Of tho
lines on which she is built is sound but the task de
nanded from her engines is beyond their strengt h:
and it bv no means follows that because 500 tons
coal dav is sufficient for her present sneed, an
other 100 tons added would increase that speed By
One-fourth, one sixth or one eighth. This is tn,
problem which the managers of the vessel have I,
solve; or will they be content with vessel which
can undoubtedly cover without stoppage at leas
thrice the distance which can be run by any steame
now in existence?

timpreS requires the Moorish tribes, whom he ha
subjected, to pay tribute of five million francs

days, there were &c cases. of which 10 proved fatal
According to the the most recent statistics, SPAN
can now fit out a fleet of $50 vessels but altogrthe
thev do not carry above | 100 guns. OF these 3G
vessels, 275 may add little nothing the rea
strength of the feet. OF the remaining S. A ar
sailing vessels, and only Al steamers The marin
population is registered AS in France and it is sa
at the first summons Of the Minister Of Marine, co.
900 sailors might be collected within few days il
ports of Spain.
