It does not appear that Muley Soliman has been driven by his brother from his capital, as stated under the Boston head, in this day's paper : but he had laid siege to the town of Tetu-an with an army of 50,000 mountaineers, and a determination to reduce the place, but it was supposed at Gibraltar that he would be obliged to relinquish his undertaking, as the garrison consisted of 80,000 men. Mr. Simpson was in the place on his way from Morocco, at the time, and it was with no small difficulty he made his escape out.
