A R,euter's telegram from Madrid, published in Monday's papers, gives
an interesting account of the reception of Marshal Campos at Morocco city. The Sultan received the Spanish Mission in the great square opposite his palace, into which he rode on "a superb milk-white charger,"—the Moors, as a rule, have let their breed of horses degenerate terribly ; but there are always a certain number of really fine Barbs in the Shereefian stables. Reuter's correspondent, like all other men who have seen Muley-Hassan close, was very much struck by his handsome face and noble bearing. "His countenance is open and frank, with the languishing look so esteemed by the Moors. His face undergoes a rapid transformation when he opens his lips in a smile which has something in it of bitterness or irony. He is tall and well formed, and sits in
his saddle with the same majestic ease as on his throne. He is by no means a mulatto, nor of tawny hue, but of very dark complexion." After a speech Vora Marshal Campos, the Salt= replied, condemning the action of the Riffs. That the Sultan should thus publicly promise the Christians to chastise a portion of his subjects is regarded as a great event. Meantime, the negotiations for an indemnity of 21,000,000 seem to hang fire. The Sultan gives smooth words, but no money.
