COLONEL DUNNEsaid, be rose to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether he is aware of the intended advance of the Spanish Army on Tangiers, and what guarantee he has received from the Government of that Country that there will not be a permanent or even protracted occupation of a place so essential for the supply of the fortress of Gibraltar? At present the contract price of provisions at Gibraltar had been raised, in consequence of the projected advance of the Spanish army on Tangiers, whence the supplies of Gibraltar had heretofore been derived. The permanent occupation of Tangiers would, no doubt, lead to war, but even its protracted occupation would be most objectionable and dangerous. He, therefore, hoped the noble Lord would state, if not inconvenient for the public service, that he had received a guarantee from the Spanish Government that their occupation of Tangiers would not be protracted.
