The Spanish troops in Morocco are to be congratulated on

having relieved the beleaguered city of Sheshuan. Sheshuan had been cut off from Tetuan and the main Spanish forces for more than a month. According to the Times correspondent it contained a Spanish garrison of three thousand. This success has come at a fortunate moment for the Directory, and we trust that the commend- able attempt of Spain to negotiate terms with the Rifi will now proceed with more hopes of success. * * * *
