SPAIN AND A10R0CCn

We find in the London 1fM,es OF the 10Th inst.
full accounts Of the severe engagement fou.b.
on the Esd ut., which resulted ID the conclusion
OF peace two days afterward. The action
commenced early in the day, the Spanish army,
full twenty fire thousand strong, ha.inc been
in motion before six o'clock. Slender @ar1ieons
we're left ut Tetuan aud the forls between that
place aud tile sea- The action commenced
about league from the city, on the road to
TanEier, near the banks Of the Quad el Jal,1, or
Martin, where tue Moors held an advantageous
position among hills partially covered with
brush~ood. They appear to hare expected
that the Spapiards would marcel, up the valley
without guarding the lofty heights upon their
right, but in this they were disappointed. The
battle consisted Of series Of irregular fights,
principal struggle being ut village near the
point where the Tangier road crosses the river.
Twice was this plnce tclcn aud retaken with
heavy loss, until tic SpnniarIs permanently
occupied it. After this tue fight extended
along tue hills. where the Moors hnd established
the camps, three in number. They rushed
fcarlessly upon the Spanish lines, and appear
to hare contested every inch Of ground wti,
bravery. By four O'Clock +. n. oil was over,
except IN occasional dropping shot. The 31oors
had removed their tents with great celebrity, and
little plumber was found to reward the victors.
The losses we're heavy on both sides. The
Spanish otiicia! return gires officers and 1870
,ntn killed, 81 officers and 1,o2G men wounded,
