quiet possession of the palace; but sometime afterwards, the uncle poss,bly tired of his seclusion and change of sene. demanded back the throne, which being refused bv Alnlev II raisd a party and an army to de prive his nephew by force. Mu ley Solimati's i.ead quarters l ae vphiefly been in Tangiars; those ot the nephew in l etuan Sever al battles with various re ults '"ave been fought; and last April. Mulcy Ib'ahim died of the wounds he icceivcd in the battles

of FiTz, and Teiuan ir,s rights descended to his brother 3Idey it-id. who was proclaimed Emocror and commander ot the army opposed to old Soliman. Immense preparations have for -ome time been making for a dccisivc blow; and the scene ot action, it is expected will be in front of Ccuta. There is situated a town called Anghcra-Cavil-la, which had hitherto remained faithful to the uncle; but lately it declared in favor of the nephew. The old man is preparing a dreadful vengeance; and as the town forms a fine military position, the nephew has placed it in a state of defence, and on it determines to risk all his hopes. When the last accounts left Centa, both armies were in sight of each other; and the battle which was to decide the fate of 3Iorocco, was daily expected.
