Since then Muley Suliman has remained at Fez, where he is rumored to be gathering another army to make another attempt on Morocco. The two consuls mentioned in his last as having been sent by Spain to Safi and Tangier have not in fact assumed the consular character or brought presents to the pretenders in whose dominion they are. They intimated that their purpose was to protect Spanish trading vessels and assured the respective princes that Spain would send an ambassador as soon as the succession was firmly established. Weeks ago Muley Suliman directed that one of his ships at Larache be fitted out to carry some sheriffs of Taroudant who were with him to Santa Cruz, but because none was seaworthy save for a frigate coppered at Cádiz in Muley Yezid’s reign that would cost 2,000 dollars to repair, a ship will be chartered to carry them—a situation that supports his previous opinion on the general condition of Moorish cruisers.

By last report the fleet was off Toulon and had only captured a sloop of war and a privateer.
