STEAMERS TO HOIST NUMBERS. Gibraltar, March 14, 1854.

RIFF COAST. Extract of a letter from Capt. the Hon. Geo. Grey, dated June 26, 1854. I would suggest to the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty that a public notice, warning merchant vessels from approaching the Riff Coast, might be beneficial until there is more security against the marauders, in consequence of the plunder of the British brig Cuthbert Young. |
