NEW-YORK, Auptfti.
by letters from Tangiers of
the 201 h of June, we learn that
the profped of war bctv/een the
United States and Morocco was
daily increafing. The Empe
xor it appears, 1 >ad demanded
a paftport for his vefTels bound
co Tnpoli with fupplies, and in
cafe of a rcfufal threatened a
.declaration of war againft the
United States. Commodore
Morris, it is pre Aim able, will
never agree to grant inch pail
ports. It is not improbable
therefore that our corned in the
Mediterranean may be of a more
ferious nature chan was m full
contemplated.
