SPAIN AND MOROCCO.

No wonder Spain is unwilling to accept the
offer Of amends made By Morocco. The reason
why Spanish honor caunot be satisfied by any
thing short Of blood has leaked out, and u very
tsy, quite capable of paying the costs Of the
proceedings, and Of compromising the action by
the payment Of IN annuity. The Madrid journ-
ais have recently put forth the programme Of
operations, said to hare been suggested BY

tions are supported with the greatest unanimity
anu a ardor by the press aud the people Of Spnin.
The streets Of Madrid are crowded With enthu-
slast5c thousands, appluudins the Government
and the national Cortes; Volunteers are flock
ing into the army, and many desertets, eren,
nave come in, asking permission to serve under
tue flag they had abandoned in the "pipinc
times Of peace;" aud the Queen has offered to

proportion Of her civil list, but also the whole
OF her patrinoniI inheritance. which, thanks
to me prudent ,piety of Ferdinand VII, is by no

more tedious and difficult. considering The eli.
