NEWS FROM MOROCCO.  ENTRY OF THE BRITISH MISSION.  The Tangier correspondent of the Globe writes; After a moat interesting rtle fram mador to Morocco city of eight diys, the British Mission, including the Min ster, Sir F. Nicholson, Major White, R. A., Surgeon-Captain Ma, plierson, A. M. S., of the Giiiraltar Garrison, and suite, encamped, on March 10th, in a beautiful olive giriten outside the city. On the morning of to 11th the party were astir eery, and af,er aiiiking camp pr ceeded toward- the city, !nine met by emissaries of the young Sultan, who welcomed the British Minister in the name of the Government, and escorted the Mission to the citt, which was crowded with sightseers. A long, broad avenue lined b. some 5,000 infantry and quite "6.000 cavalry, in new and picture- que uniforms of bright colours, armed with a motley array of guns, pistil., Stc., was made for the triun phnl entry to the Pilace. The cavalry in white fl wing garmente, assembled round the banners ot their rest ective kaide, prevented a most weird apreaiance, aadet to which a large rand played extraordinary melodies in thorough Oriental fashion. The whole route was crowded with fantastically dressed Moors, nunibering some 30,000, who appeared pleased to set tie show. Numerous iroppages were constantly made to present the British Minister to one functionary or another, who joined the pruecssion afterwards. After the noise, dust, and din of the city stre-ts, great relief was felt when the party, riding through a private gate in the City Wsll, found themselves in a moat lovely orange and lemon garden, in which was the residence allot ed to them, being a sort of summer Louse of the Salter.. The M raster of War and other Viziers then shewed the party aver the place. As it is not etiquette for the Min ster to go out till t o Sultan visits him, the Mission remained in tioir louden till the iirposing presentation to the Sultan took place on the 13th. It is understood, adds the correspondent, that the British Minister is in no way pressing for commercial treaties in return for a loan offered, as suggested by certain Paris scaremongers. II is simply presenting his credentials to the Sultan, as being his first visit.
